Orlando Jimenez & Mike Boudet Circa 2001
Orlando Jimenez & Mike Boudet Circa 2001

Introvert is the product of a collaboration between band members Mike Boudet and Orlando Jimenez in the fall of 2000. The result was the CD titled “Human” which was released in early 2001.

Mike Boudet, computer programmer and part time producer/engineer for Tapeworm Studios, had released two solo efforts under the pseudonym “Lounge Act.” He wrote, recorded and produced a five-song EP “Enjoy the Cancer” in 1995 and the full-length CD “Introvert” from which the band got its name.


Boudet met Orlando Jimenez while auditioning musicians for the live show to support Lounge Act’s first release. Jimenez, who had been searching for a band for quite some time, was becoming frustrated with the dwindling Miami music scene. A friend showed him a Lounge Act interview from the Miami New Times. He joined the band a few days later. The Miami New Times is a free, weekly Miami, Florida newspaper, put out every Thursday. ...


The two spent the later part of 2000 recording their debut CD release titled “Human”. The CD was release nationally in early 2001 and received a warm welcome in the college radio market.


To bring their music to the world, Boudet and Jimenez first called on Bassist Jesus Rodriguez, a veteran of the local music scene who had shed his long hair for an office job with the Miami office of a large public relations firm. Close friends since their mid-teens, Rodriguez and Boudet had been in each other's very first band, and it was Boudet who first persuaded Rodriguez to learn the bass in 1989. Instantly impressed with the music of Introvert, Rodriguez brought in Lead Guitarist Charles Hill, an “introverted” virtuoso with whom he had worked on a previous project. Lounge Act's live effort also included Introvert Drummer Oscar Guardado, who had performed with Boudet on previous occasions. Together, the five musicians breathed life into the vision of Boudet and Jimenez.

Caring for Your Introvert (1327 words)
Introverts may be common, but they are also among the most misunderstood and aggrieved groups in America, possibly the world.
Introverts are also not misanthropic, though some of us do go along with Sartre as far as to say "Hell is other people at breakfast." Rather, introverts are people who find other people tiring.
Introverts are described with words like "guarded," "loner," "reserved," "taciturn," "self-contained," "private"—narrow, ungenerous words, words that suggest emotional parsimony and smallness of personality.
The Introvert Advantage | Annotate (654 words)
Brain scans reveal that introverted children "have more brain activity, in general, [than extroverts] specifically in their frontal lobes." (Introverts in an Extrovert’s World.) Experts have long understood that introverts need solitude to recharge, while extroverts are energized by social interaction.
Introverts, on the other hand, have such a surfeit of brain activity that it’s sometimes difficult for them to attend to what’s happening around them.
Introverts have more acetylcholine, a chemical that enhances "long-term memory, the ability to stay calm and alert, and perceptual learning." They also have increased activity in the frontal lobe, which has been linked to high-level problem solving skills, long-term planning, and a facility with language.
