I have been a musician for over 10 years. I began by playing the drums in 1995. Then, in January of 2004, I decided to pick up a guitar. Then, in April 2007, I began to play a didjeridoo for fun. In August of 2008, I picked up the 4-string bass guitar and played it for a little while. Eventually, I would like to expand a little more to the piano (wishful thinking). I also write and produce scripturally inspired music. I have 2 CDs worth of music and I’m in the process of producing the 3rd. God has truly blessed me with my musical abilities and I plan to continually worship Him and serve Him with those abilities.
Spending time reading the Word of God is always a pleasurable experience.
There is always a good laugh while reading Calvin & Hobbes comics.
Video games are a great way for me to turn my mind off for a bit (action, adventure, RPG, FPS, and the like). I also like computers. Especially Apple computers or anything produced by the folks at Apple Inc. I enjoy technical writing, which is how this blog stuff started with me. Pretty much, you could call me a nerd… or more technically, a techaholic.
I am Czech by heritage. My last name, which is Masopust, has a rather peculiar meaning. It is made of two key words maso, which means meat, and pust, which means fasting, and both are significant to the meaning. Put them together and you have “meat fasting.” Masopust actually has a word for itself and that is carnival. It gets better. Now, with all that said, you could easily make up a statement about my last name. Meat fasting carnival. Think really hard. What holiday can you think of that is a meat fasting carnival? How about Mardi Gras? It’s true. My last name, Masopust, is actually a Czech holiday for Mardi Gras. That’s pretty cool.
Remember me saying that I was a drummer at the top of the page? Well, it so happens that my family has a bit of a legacy. The family has a polka band that can be traced back to 1890. So that puts the band at over 115 years old! I just happen to be the 5th generation to be in the band. My father is the 4th. We are aptly named the Masopust Polka Band. We play at weddings, anniversaries, festivals, and at a regular Saturday night dance.
Well, I hope you enjoy what you read. Constructive feedback is always welcome.
Get fed!
Nice website man. I had a myspace that i used to have that I posted my writings about random things on. I loved it. Now that I am in college, I am learning more on how to write and I would like to know if i could send you some of my writings and post them on your site? If you wanna say no you can. Its just a thought. God bless my friend.

hey, you have accomplished something I am still struggling with, reading my Bible. I love reading it but I never seem to keep it up, other things always get in the way. If you have any advice or suggestions let me know. Thanks and God bless.
Hey thanks for responding, I really appreciate it. Thanks for the complement you put on my history page. It’s only half the story, I am planning on finishing it still and putting it on another page. One day I hope to put it into book form but this will do for now. We’ll see where God takes me.
I don’t know if I’m making sense here but here goes, I do live in Canada but originally I am from Mexico. I was born in Mexico and moved to Canada in late 1996. Where are you from?
Masopust? Play at the Czech Hall? I played a couple of gigs with you guys back in the nineties as your substitute tuba player. I always wondered if the band was still together. And it TOTALLY is! Sweet!
I am just learning to blog here and if you have any sites that i could go to to help teach me that would be great. I too am a christian and do sound at my local church. I am a techy to the core as well. Hey listen do me a favour and try and get to hear an artist named Martyn Joseph. He is an amazingly talented acoustic guitar player and balladeer. He is a christian but he rarely plays in churches because he is reaching the world where they are. His songs are filled with passion and you can see how God has inspired him to write . Go to http://www.martynjoseph.com and check him out i know you will like him
My last name is Masopust too, could we be related ? where are you from?
Very nice initiation to facilititate the knowledge making about new technologies.
My fathers name was Raymond Masopust. He used the name Lent for reservations at resturants etc to make it easier for people.
He was born in Ilinois

I stumbled upon this site while doing a little research on Linux and I just want to compliment you on an awesome site – may God continually bless you and best of luck!!
Sarah,
Thank you very much. I’m glad you enjoyed my site.
I am looking for your aunt. We are having a 50th HS reunion Her name starts with an L and she is about 68 years old.
MS
Please be more specific. I do not know of any of my immediate aunts whose name begins with an “L” and is of that age. Feel free to use my e-mail address on the side bar of this site to e-mail me a full name if you are concerned about confidentiality. Thank you.
My mother’s maiden name was Masopust and her brother and his wife were in the band. Are you their grandson?
Are you referring to Bessie and Joseph? If so, my dad and I are cousins. We are the only two Masopusts in the band currently.
Yes, Aunt Bessie was my piano teacher for years. Uncle Joe was my mother’s brother.
My father is David Masopust, son of Henry and Alma Masopust.
