Add to My Profile | More Videos I'm not going to list everyone I really get down on here.. That would be so stupidly long of a list I wouldn't want to wish anyone to waste that much of their life reading it. I DO however like several folks that also mean a lot to me in some way in my personal life from right here in NC. Those folks are (in no particular order): Kaden Suon: Bass Guitarist and Ka-boominator(The Grip), Brian Easton: Orc Warlock Drummer(Thir13teen), Preston Mills: Bass Guitarist Who Crushes Heads(Thir13teen), Rick Ammons: Guitarist that Bleeds Sheetrock and Metal(Thir13teen), Nick Firth: Lead Guitarist (No current affliation; Genuine War Hero complete with Purple Heart; Thank you, Nick), Kenny McCain: Vocalist and Guitarist DO THE WALKEN THING OR THE CEREAL SONG DUDE!!

You payin' attention?This list will constantly grow but only for those that I see puttin forth the effort to kill it constantly. That's right. If you ain't ever been on the list, I just forgot you.. send me a reminder.. If you get taken off the list.. best know it looks from the outside like you're slippin'... don't fall off the map... Let me know where you are and how it is goin' with your music if you think I should care.

Heroes:

So, I gotta lotta heroes really. I am a big fan o' man, I guess you could say. Simply put, as far as heroes go, I respect anyone's attempt throughout history to squeeze every ounce of life outta what they've been given to work with possible. I know that from time to time we all need a break from pushing ourselves to that next level, but overall you gotta realize that those that change the face of this world we live in are those that can regularly choose life. Apathy is such an ugly thing to me. Care about something, then decide to do something with it, for it or about it. More specifically, that other roomate also known as my wife Carolyn is one of my heroes. I'm not going to get all cliche and say that she's always been there for me cause neither one of us could safely say that. What Carolyn HAS done for me and I hope that I do for her the majority of the time is care about my goals and dreams. We WANT to see each other achieve whatever we set our minds to because that's the world we ALL should live in. My wife is the yin to my yang in the realest of senses and fills in whatever I don't have in my life. She also drives me batshit crazy, but hey.. we all need to be kept on our toes right? Else ya get slow, boy.. and the street don't love slow.. My parents are of course the other heroes of mine that I feel need some special mentioning. My upbringing has lent to a wide variety of life experiences that I am eternally thankful for. I wouldn't have the understanding of humanity that I have without my parents shoving me into new experiences repeatedly. Also, being adopted I feel more or less rescued from uncertainty by my parents. Fate indeed must have had a hand in how the wheel turned in my life. My parents were instrumental in reassuring me of that throughout my life; however, it was in the context of showing me that people overall have every opportunity to achieve a personal greatness to whatever level they choose. Most folks just don't hear it enough from those closest to them that they can do it. FOR MY FOLKS ON THANKSGIVING: .. width="425" height="350" .... Self-doubt can wreck an individual, and who knows what the world may miss out on if you never step forward from the shadow of that self-doubt and test the waters of the life around you.
