1) Think a little about who this site is for. If you're trying mainly to use it to get a job, I'm afraid many employers will look on this site as unprofessional (if they even get to the portfolio after that long, tedious intro). You have some corporate-looking work in there, but it's mixed in with pictures of college students at parties and music by your band.
2) It's strange that you are using Flash but then when I click on a portfolio piece it opens a pop-up. It's like the worst of both worlds. If you're going to use Flash why not use it for the UI of your portfolio? True, the minimal thing is in right now but this site isn't really hitting the zeitgeist anyway, so why not have some eye candy in there?
3) The colors really aren't working for me? The dark blue by itself just isn't exciting. A dark background can work, but you should consider using a highlight color or two, for the type perhaps, to make things pop.
4) Choose a different typeface. This one says "the future circa 1993."
