I was named after the lead singer from this band, Justin Hayward; however, I think that the drummer's name, Graeme Edge, would have been more suitable in both position and inclination.

Music
Ranging far and wide, I enjoy many different genres of musicá. From tango Argentino artists such as Astor Piazzolla and Lalo Schifrin to something a bit more current like System of A Down, NIN and The Mars Volta; going back in time again to pick up the likes of Liszt, Bach, Tchaikovsky and others in the genre like Rachmaninov, Barber and Gershwin; jumping forward to the rock that is classic you can never go wrong with a little Led, Boston, da Who, Señor Hendrix, Kansas, da Doors or hell, even the less popular Eric Clapton. Oh, yes, let us not forget those 90's bands like , Everclear, Third Eye Blind and Sound Garden. But lets please, for the love of Christ, forget about the 80's . . . and most of the 70's.

A skillful commander strikes a decisive blow, and stops. He does not dare (by continuing his operations) to assert and complete his mastery. He will strike the blow, but will be on guard against being vain or boastful or arrogant in consequence of it. He strikes it as a matter of necessity; he strikes it, but not from a wish for mastery.
