About Me

Well let's see...I'm an artist/musician/songwriter. This music is not just a hobby for me. It's my vision and my purpose in life. My art is my passion and my soul on display. I live my life as an example of TRUE individuality. What you see is what you get with me. I say what I feel and WILL NOT sell out. I don't drink, smoke, do drugs or get wrapped up in any of the other pitfalls that most people (especially musicians) succumb to. I am my own person. Now and forever. I've discovered that I'm the kind of person you either love or hate because my views on life are so extreme. Most would say I'm over-opinionated. I just think most people are UN-opinionated, so of course to them I would seem overly so. I am not a part-time rebel or a weekend warrior. I am the real deal. In today's society, where being "average" and living a mundane existence is what's encouraged by our establishment, TRUE individuality is getting harder to come by. You were created as a UNIQUE human being. Find yourself!

Odd man out...

I know I’ve ranted about this before, but I’m just so frustrated with this society that it’s come very close to tearing me apart in the past.  It has tried its damnedest anyway....

Groupthink...

I saw a link to a site called "PETA Kills Animals" on a friend's page. I checked it out and a lot of it is probably true.  It's no big surprise though. Just another liberal "fight the power" (wha...

Radio

Clean verses, heavy-ish chorus, "I'm gonna break" and "I'm so tortured" lyrics, middle-of-the-road, not-really-metal-but-not-reallyhiphop-but-not-really-hardroc k, formulaic, money-making BULLSHIT! ......
