The last of the Dog Soldiers

About Me

I was born in Baltimore Maryland on September 15th 1980. I was born at 7 a.m. at St. Agnes hospital. I grew up with a lot of interesting people around me. Good friends and meaningful times. At some point the landscape changed and life took a darker turn. Beginning in middle school I started finding trouble a little too easily. The innocence we had was starting to erode more and more, as we learned what the underside of things looked like. I have no regrets about what I've done in my life. I have walked away from some horrible shit, more whole than I ever thought I could be. I live for experience and finding God in the dark side of life. I'm no angel, and I don't walk the road of piety. Religion doesn't do much for me except for the art really. I love God, but it ain't the God I learned about in school. I know who I am and what I can do. I am ready for whatever the world has for me next. I fight for freedom and spiritual evolution. I will not abandon the road for anything. I am not advocating the way I live. It's definitely not for everyone. I am in awe of this world, but I answer only to God. Life has become scarier to me than death more and more. I will go as far as I can on what I have, and savor every second. Thank you to everyone who has stood by me through these harder times. I love you all.HOT Myspace Layouts

Nick Cave is a fucking hardass

Holy shit.  I'm watching the new Sopranos ad with Nick Cave's 'Lay Me Low' playing over it.  That is absolutely beautiful.  God Damn I love that fuckin guy.
