I'd like to meet:

I have been fortunate to meet and hang out with alot of people that have influenced me musically. Including members of Killswitch Engage, Sevendust, Trust Company, Crossfade, Atomship, Twelve Stones, Three Doors Down, Nonpoint, and Strata. Two people I have had pleasure meeting with are Morgan Rose from SEVENDUST and Chad Kent from ATOMSHIP. Both of them in my hometown of New Orleans.

TIRED

why do I feel the way I do
I cant find the strength to talk to you
Im so lonely and I hate this cold
so damn dark and no one to hold

so tired of this world, tired of the games
tired of these people and mostly tired of the pains

Day in and day out, I strive my best
but everything I do seems for all the rest
the ones we love, we watch suffer and fight
yet the ones we hate walk the path of light

so tired of this world, tired of the games
tired of these people and mostly tired of the pains

everyone is too young, everyone is too old
my life seems to be wasting, I feel I should fold
why go on, why should I fight
whose keeping score, is there a winner tonight
