[About me]

Nam e: Robert G. Trussell
Age: 17
D.O.B.: September 2, 1983

Food type: Chocolate, Bread-based foods (noodles), apples..<slobbering>..all fruits except for the weird ones--You know who you are!!

Music Type: Classical music is my life! It's not borring unless you have "duende!!!" Techno music is cool..Euro-techno is even better. Jazz is pretty neat..if you play sax, trump, drums, bass and trombone(r) =) I have played a little Jazz bassoon...I am not in to some of the atonal music going around---maybe when I am older.! I like Schoenberg as an intellectual but not as a composer!  I have read through some of his "Theories" on harmony. I have a very open mind and even I don't care for his music--quite yet. I love fugual contraptions and couterpoint.

What do you look like: I am trying to find some confidence in that area right now...I guess I look Okay...aside from the occasional pimple. I should get a pic for you guys sometime.

TV Shows: Daily Show, Politically Incorrect, Occasional Cartoon, SNL, Mad TV, Simpsons, South Park. <~~Hey, I am mature!

Love Life: I am not looking right now. I had one date with my friend's friend..you know how that is. We had a great time. I danced, danced, danced and danced until 10:00pm and then didn't get back home 'til 2:00am. It is hard to believe there are or ever will be people out there who love me as much my own family. Before that date I had the unusual experience of being set up with another friend of a friend. Of course, I was only 13/14 years-of-age and love was quite an obscurity to me...what an odd experience = I

So What Now?: Well, I am trying to open up as a person.  I am also trying to focus on my future as a musician. I have made "First Chair" All-State-Band two years in a row and I am trying to see what is out there for me. Life, for me at least, is ambiguous.

Friends: I like people who are respectful to me and others.

Job: I make money at a restaurant called "The Olde Towne Dinning Room." I have worked there since I was 14 because it is family owned. I work there on Saturday mornings. I wash dishes. It sucks. Not very fun. Stuck there with my parents....

Other: I play bassoon,(Listen to one!)  Oboe, Bass Drum, Flute, Very little piano and Trombone.  I also enjoy arranging and sequencing midi. I am currently in Symphonic band,  Marching band (Bass Drum),  I am in stage (effects),  Boone County Bassoon Band, and many other things not worth mentioning. I am now a Junior at the school I go to.  I have few friends.  I tend to hang with people that are exciting and smart.
