I believe in the Holy Trinity, The Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. Everyone, most everyone, thinks living a Christian based life is easy, but I guess it is what you make it. I will never understand people who don't believe in God, and believe in Evolution or whatever. But, I don't preach, but if someone asks, I'll give you my opinions. It is a great feeling to know that Heaven awaits when this life of mine is over...I'm offended by people who love and worship Satan because there like on the other spectrum of where I am spiritually, and besides, who wants evil in their life forever in eternity? I have many more questions than answers, but I have God in my heart. The subject of religion is a whole another world that I do not understand. We've taken God out of schools and at work, at WalMart and everywhere else, so these times we live in now, are sure not the times I grew up in. We as a nation of people, are more violent than before, so where is the end to all the madness in the world I see? What happen to being good to one another and loving your neighbor? I'm know saint! I've battled alcohol and recreational drug use, but I've seen my friends go crazy with ADDICTION, which is a very misunderstood word in society. Perhaps as we grow in population around the world, we will just increase in crime, hunger and disease among other things. I try to ignore all the negative events that surround my daily life, but I can't even watch the news, as they try to bolster their ratings, by putting all bad news up front first....it is the way of this life. What happened to the good stories as networks and TV in general test how appalling they all can be...makes me want to give up on all of it!!! What about peace and kindness to our fellow man? Treating animals and all things of life with respect, as look at the instinct of species & animals because of man!
We are destroyers of most good things that God has given us and that is my conclusion, and it will only worsen with time!!!
In 2001 I had "Lower Spinal Compression Fusion Surgery" and it's been a very tough road, as I know a part of me died that day on the table. You want to know something? I think most of YOU, take your HEALTH for granted!!! It's when you face or are still facing pain everyday, and that's when you get humble, because pain has a way of making us all humble. No matter how strong the mind is, pain can break down the strongest of minds. I was a bodybuilder who once benched press 405 lbs, could squat 500 lbs, and felt like Superman sometimes, and always had pretty ladies to date, had great jobs, and then one day, it was all taken away. I feel tremendous sadness for the Katrina victims, and anyone going through serious trauma in this life. It is all very depressing to think of it all. I wonder what are the long term effects are of taking painkillers and anti-depressants? Can't imagine it's going to be pretty when I get older either. Now my back has the dreaded "DDD" or "De generative Disc Disease" not too mention three fused disc's in the lower L3-L5 region...being disabled and not being able to do my prior jobs is the worst feeling in my life. Talk about suicide? I've thought about it so much, and wanted to do it so much. I know, it's a selfish act,and not part of my personality makeup, but I have been in that much PAIN to take an overdose before. It is what it is, which is reality.If you look through my many pictures, you will see a picture of me 7 days after surgery, 50 staples, and 10 inches long. Pretty long incision I'd say. I would love to hear from anyone who has similar problems with their back, like me. Especially if you're in your 30's or 40's, I would love to hear how you cope in life. Please write, cause I'm sure we have lots to write about.
I play electric guitar, and have played since 1979 and record my demos mostly, but not in a band anymore. I've played in bands as you can tell in the photos when I was younger. I have acquired many, many amplifiers, and guitars, rack effects, and floor effects and most anything concerning music in general. I guess I overdo most anything, that I like to do. I love progressive metal bands and just good guitarists in general. I think there is not enough attention paid to musicians who actually practice and play at a high level. To me, good music is good music even though I have my own individual preferences. There is a wealth of great music out there waiting to be appreciated by us all. Music takes me away from all that bothers me about the world in general...
