Music and a Dance
Im just another guy in this outrageous sea of people trying to cut through the grind and find the meaning of life. Okay, maybe Im not just another guy. I dont really think I can put myself into words, Im me. Im pretty much still finding out who I am in this world and what makes me different. I dont think any of us ever figure out just who we are until we are on our last leg, but even then its more of who we were. My whole ideas have changed a lot. I think first people should never doubt the unexpected. With that I'm talking about my girlfriend Stacey. She makes me outrageously happy, look at things in a simpler way, supports me no matter what, and truly makes everything else in life seem like it don't matter when I'm with her...then again, she is this raging, snarling, hardcore smartass too, haha, yea she knows "I dig it". I'd of never thought of myself to be with her as I am now, but suprises come in life and I believe people shouldn't doubt them. Not only do I have a girlfriend in her, but I have a best friend in her, I love her! Despite many "aqquantances" I have, I know real friends are hard to come by. By the way, Ive given up on politics. Don't work for the government, I did, hated it! (school is important, get your head in the fuck'in books!), but Im a better person and much more full of knowledge that I did. There are so many things wrong with politics and leadership in America. I dont believe in any of it anymore, youll lose in the end. I cant stand people who dont question anything. Those who are just senseless followers wanting to fit into some space that the televisions screen has declared normal. Just be yourself, look at both sides of the perspective always! Choose to love what we are in this life and shine brighter! Some people think Im an intellectual, some people think Im the biggest moron theyve ever met, some consider me shy, others consider me incredibly funny and full of life. I like to say Im a bit of all of them really. I really like being a smartass and questioning other peoples intelligence. Im a big human guy, Im obsessed with human behavior and why people do some of the stupidest shit and yet also some of the most brilliant shit ever. Then there is that slice of Brian that just likes to let loose (which is most of the time), being with his good friends drinking a few beers. Life is probably a little too short to be upset and caught into its evil all of the time, so any chance I can be I try to look at things positively, laugh, and just make the best out of any crappy or good situation that may come my way, as if it would be my last. Music! I live for it, cant go without it. Im defiantly into motivational/revolutionary music. Basically anything punk rock to almost anything reggae, Im a big fan of. Music is my guide, raises my spirits when Im down, makes me feel like nothing could ever change me or break me in any way. Thats the power I get from it, which is why I cant help but to contribute to the world of hardcore punk rock music by playing guitar in my band Skyline Collapse (check us out at www.myspace.com/skylinecollapse). My band is very important to me. I love playing motivational music, traveling to cities, recording in the studio, challenging myself by writing new material, letting out aggression on stage, bringing people together, influencing other musicians, being influenced by other musicians, and just giving back to what it has given me. A peace of mind. One good thing about music, when it hits, you feel no pain. Not only am I a big fan of playing guitar, but I also have a huge passion for singing and writing lyrics. Not many know that about me, but singing is a huge outlet of mine. I love to sing my acoustic songs any chance I can. Lastly, brotherhood and friendship are very important to me. Staying true to your roots by not forgetting and loving the ones who lifted you and pushed you into the place where you are and the person youve become. Just realize home is where you make it, a birthplace is only a disguise, the heart is where you create it. I really just like people who are themselves and are as comfortable as they can be with themselves. Question authority, abolish a materialistic world.
