About Me

I'm Ashton.
I defy stereotypes.
I'd rather be reading.
I love my two beautiful nieces as much as humanly possible.
I was born to rock black like it's going out of style.
I've come a long way, but I still have a long way to go.
I'm still under construction.
AND I LIKE IT THAT WAY.
Wisdom comes in many forms and from many different sources. Here are some words of wisdom I like to keep in mind through good times and bad.
Only if you have been in the deepest valley, can you ever know how magnificent it is to be on the highest mountain. –Richard Nixon
I'm a Christian first and a mean-spirited bigoted conservative second, and don't you forget it. -Ann Coulter
He who fights with monsters should take care lest he thereby become a monster. And if you gaze long into the abyss, the abyss gazes also into you. -Friedrich Nietzsche
Si vis pacem para bellum. [If you want peace, prepare for war.] -Publius Flavius Vegetius Renatus
Fortune favors the bold. -Virgil
It costs a lot of money to look this cheap. -Dolly Parton
Everything has its limit. Iron ore cannot be educated into gold. -Mark Twain
All that is gold does not glitter, not all those who wander are lost; the old that is strong does not wither, deep roots are not reached by the frost. -J.R.R. Tolkien
The powers of a man's mind are directly proportional to the quantity of coffee he drinks. -Sir James Mackintosh
Harry was left to ponder in silence the depths to which girls would sink to get revenge. -J.K. Rowling
Dream as if you'll live forever. Live as if you'll die today. -James Dean

I'd like to meet:

Michelangelo's David.

Or a member of the male population that bears an uncanny resemblance to him.
Met the boy that could have been Michelangelo's inspiration; I'm not as eager to see the statue now.

This song is dedicated to him.

Music:

Music is a big part of my life. I don't know what I would do without it.
Bryan Adams - "And now the times are changing, look at everything that's come and gone. Sometimes when I play that old 6-string, I think about you...wonder what went wrong."

Bon Jovi - "I can't sing a love song like the way it's meant to be. Well, I guess I'm not that good anymore, but baby, that's just me. And I will love you, baby. Always. And I'll be there forever and a day. Always. I'll be there till the stars don't shine. Till the heavens burst and the words don't rhyme. And when I die, you'll be on my mind. And I'll love you always. "

Cher - "Do you believe in life after love? I can feel something inside me saying, 'I really don't think you're strong enough.' No!"

Evans Blue - "Hello, I'm your martyr. Will you be my gangster? Can you feel my trigger hand moving further down your back? When you hide, hide inside that body. But just remember that when I touch you, the more you shake, the more you give away."

Godsmack - "Where do we go when we just don't know? And how do we relight the flame when it's cold? Why do we dream when our thoughts mean nothing? And when will we learn to control?"

Live - "It's easier not to be wise and measure these things by your brains. I sank into eden with you alone in the church by and by. I'll read to you here, save your eyes. You'll need them, your boat is at sea. Your anchor is up. You've been swept away. And the greatest of teachers won't hesitate to leave you there, by yourself chained to fate. I alone love you. I alone tempt you. I alone love you. Fear is not the end of this."

Edwin McCain - "Write me a song. Fill it all up with words like brilliant and heavenly. Make it sound just like me. Just like the first time I love you was heard. And now write me a song. One that makes all the girls cry. And the old women swoon at the sound of my tune. And the hearts of the lonely will fly."

Meatloaf - "Those were the rites of spring and we did everything, there was salvation every night. We got our dreams reborn and our upholstery torn, but everything we tried was right."

Nickelback - "I want a new tour bus full of old guitars...my own star on Hollywood Boulevard. Somewhere between Cher and James Dean is fine for me. I'm gonna trade this life for fortune and fame. I'll even cut my hair and change my name."

Pink - "If someone said three years from now you'd be long gone, I'd stand up and punch them out...cause they're all wrong. And that last kiss, I'll cherish until we meet again and time makes it harder I wish I could remember. But I keep your memory. You visit me in my sleep. My darling, who knew?"

Anything 90's

Ryan Star - Back Of Your Car

It's the perfect time of night
To be losing your clothes now
If you carefully take them off
Then I'll carefully show you how

In a minute we'll be gone
So we might as well just f*ck
'Cause the churches there all filled
Empty prayers are out of luck

Whoa, whoa
You're not yourself
You're not yourself tonight
Whoa, whoa
You've got your life
Now get yourself in mine
Whoa, whoa
You won't be sad
You won't be satisfied
Whoa, whoa

It's the perfect time of night
To be losing your mind now
As the curtains finally fall
Will you kindly take your bow?
So love our time
Don't waste your life
It's the perfect time of night
To be losing your clothes

Whoa, whoa
You're not yourself
You're not yourself tonight
Whoa, whoa
You've got your life
Now get yourself in mine
Whoa, whoa
You won't be sad
But you won't be satisfied
Whoa, whoa

Ohhhh!
I wait for you here
(In the back of your car)
(Let's find out who you really are)
So much fear
(I'll never change if you want me to)
(You better change if I ask you)
It's the first time you'll need
(So tell me what is the matter with this)
(They say it starts with just a kiss)
It's the first time you'll bleed
(We'll never be right here again)

Whoa, whoa
You lost yourself
You lost yourself tonight
Whoa, whoa
You've got your life
Now get yourself in mine
Whoa, whoa
You won't be sad
You won't be satisfied

Movies:

I'm not picky. I love movies in general.

Television:


I watch more TV than I'd care to admit.
