The Retribution of Spiritual Sickness

About Me

greetings all, the being you are observing with your visual recepticles is oneself, my name happens to be Ashley or Ash. What can i say about meself then? well I'm me and brother of Kyle. I love all things metal: Music and utensils such as a sword. I play guitar, I have now for 4 years and 8 months, I have a canine friend called Dime who is a German Shepherd with a penchant for trying to devour my being. I am also privildged and extremely honoured to have the best friends and family in the world who have amazed me with the show of support which has kept me in a positive state of mind in such a drastic downpoint in my life, because as many of you may know i was diagnosed with ALL, Acute lymphoblastic leukaemia in December 07 which is one of many types of blood cancer for which i am now recieving treatment for. Everyone has shown support but i would like to thank two people who always put a smile on my face, my brothers well brother and adopted brother Kyle and Roy. What else is there? Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, ah yes thats it, I am dedicated to unlocking and learning the secret of "the Semi permeable membrane of the wandering land salmon!! LOL If you ever have any questions about anything feel free to ask, i'll be more than happy to answer.
