ButterflyEffect  ·  4030 days ago  ·  link  ·    ·  parent  ·  post: Who are you, Hubski?

I'm ButterflyEffect, I'm a college student who is majoring in the field of Chemical Engineering, with a concentration in the French language. I'm currently on the executive board of a local radio station, and serve as a DJ and audio engineer at times as well for local bands. My roommates and I also own, manage, and operate a record label that is local to our town.

I'm beyond into music, it's a huge part of my life. I play guitar, a little bit of bass and also play electronic music (hey AshShields I haven't told you yet but your EP is incredible). Outside of music I like baseball, going to the gym, reading some books by authors such as Steinbeck or Fitzgerald, and also use Hubski...a lot.

I was listening to Formalities earlier today! It's some good music to study to, it keeps me awake. It brings me a lot of nostalgia from the bouncy, electronic video game music of my early childhood. Pokémon Ruby<3

Oh wow. You have no idea how much that just made my night! Thanks for listening, it means a lot. I'm glad it's been helping you study too. Pokemon Ruby was a great game, the ones prior to that were my favorites though.

No problem, thanks for making some great music! My first game was Pokémon Crystal. I can remember being so excited about my Cyndaquil evolving. I'm pretty sure I received the game after releasing my brother's Feraligatr into the wild...oops.

Ah, cheers, man! That means a lot!

I'm seeing a lot of people get into chemical engineering recently, what prompted you to pursue it? And damn, we have a lot in common :D At school and by myself at home I came to the point where I speak fluent French, in addition to Armenian as I was raised :) I DJ, but only for my friends' parties, and and signed on a record label for Armenian folk & jazz music. Music keeps me ticking :)

After working out with dedication for a year, I'm joining my wrestling team in a month, I love Fitzgerald (and Vonnegut!) and am slowly starting to use Hubski... a lot.

In high school I had always liked chemistry, and my high school offered some technology/engineering courses through the college that I now go to, so I figured why not combine them and see what happens? Plus, process based work has always been interested to me. Chemical Engineering seems to be a bursting area of expertise.

Oh wow, that's impressive. I wouldn't consider myself fluent by any means, even after having studied abroad. It's really hard to keep up with when you don't have family or many friends that speak the language. DJ'ing parties is a ton of fun, I've helped a friend do that before since he's more talented at that than I am. You should send me a link to some of your music, I'd love to hear it!

Best of luck on joining the wrestling team, if you've been working out for a while I'm sure you're all set with that. Vonnegut is great too, I should have mentioned him.
