When so many things go wrong in someone's life, why do they feel the need to post it here for everyone to see? Does anyone REALLY want to hear it? I mean, they say they do. But do they really? Life is good. If yours isn't, change it. No one else can do it but you. I have two beautiful kids, who I adore more than anything. It's amazing how you can learn so much from them. Everyday is a new challenge, and another moment of pride when they learn something new.In 1999, I married one of my best friends. At the end of 2006, we decided to go our separate ways. She's been my hero in many ways. Through it all, we are STILL best friends, and it's our intention to stay that way. We're not writing this off completely. There is still SOME hope for us down the road.... We'll see.In January 2007, I was diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder. Funny, since for the past two years I've been getting treatment for A.D.D. Strange when you find out that it's actually something more severe. I say "severe", but, when I read stories from other people with this disorder, I realize that I don't have it nearly as bad as a lot of people. For this I am thankful. But I still intend to receive as much therapy for this as I can.As for hobbies... I've been a musician for most of my life. Music has been in my blood since my birth. I play guitar, and keyboards, and I've been in far too many bands to mention. My main highlight was 1993, a band with some of my best friends called Electric Rattlebone. Imagine the sound of Mother Love Bone combined with Alice in Chains. Not to sound cocky, but, we rocked, and we knew it. If you were in a band in the Victorville California area, and you played on the same bill with us, sorry for the ass kicking you received. :)I've been musically stagnant for the past few years, but I'm now dusting some of my old unfinished songs off, as well as writing some new ones. I think my experiences over the past five months have given me a lot to write about.Add to that my love for aviation. I have about 10 hours in the cockpit of a Piper Cherokee.... but I still have yet to start any formal instruction. Go figure..... Not only do I enjoy flying planes, but I also enjoy jumping out of them. Skydiving is the greatest experience ever. Nothing like rushing towards the ground at 120mph.Lastly, I want to say that my dealings during the past few months have really shown me who my friends are. I've always prided myself on being one of the kindest people one could ever meet. I prefer making people laugh, and I prefer laughing myself. But even with that, we all make mistakes. I've lost a few good friends over the years; some by my own fault. My longtime true friends picked me up, dusted me off, and were there for me. So, to Tony, Richard, Chaz, Jeff, Russ, and Holly...... THANK YOU!! For those who walked away during that time period, all I can say to you is..... whatever....

My Interests

Healthcare, music, aviation, and in search of the ultimate Buffalo Wings, and the perfect Chinese Hot and Sour Soup.

I'd like to meet:

Who am I looking for? Well, I'm mainly interested in having only family, and my personal friends on here (REAL LIFE friends; i.e., people I went to school with, met sometime thereafter, etc), and also local musicians from my area who share my music interests. I am also interested in meeting new people from the area to hang out with.... so drop me a line already.I would actually like to meet Jason Becker. Probably one of the most talented musicians I've ever heard. Even ALS (Lou Gherig's) can't stop the tenacity of this man. If his life story doesn't inspire you, put your wiener in a mouse trap.Also, if we were old friends who've drifted apart, and you want to be added, please message me first, just in case I don't recognize you.Now, take a moment, sit back, and watch my posting of some of the greatest guitar players to ever live, and die....Randy Rhoads (RIP)Dimebag Darryll from Pantera(RIP)Eric JohnsonAkira Takasaki from Loudness (so awesome he gets two)

Music:

How cool is this?? Zakk Wylde performing the National Anthem at a Kings game.... Now only if they'll let him do the Super Bowl..too much to mention...First and foremost, Queensryche has been my all time favorite band since 1986, a true bunch of talent (not excluding their wonderful unofficial 6th member, Pamela Moore, aka Sister Mary). I also love a particular old band from the 70's called Supertramp (for those who are laughing I have four words for you, "Crime of the Century"), Disturbed, RAMMSTEIN, Megaherz, W.A.S.P., Pink Floyd (I wish I played like David Gilmour), Dead or Alive (I wish I sang like Pete Burns), Orgy (been an Amir fan since the Rough Cutt days), the glam days from the Sunset Strip, Slayer, Depeche Mode, The Church, Cure, Sisters of Mercy, Switchblade Symphony, Simple Minds, Gary Numan, Apoptygma Bezerk, Monty Python and Spongebob Squarepants... and some other stuff I'm too embarassed to mention... Ok, I'll mention it.. Earth Wind and Fire, Moody Blues, one song from Brother's Johnson, the Miss Saigon soundtrack, EMF (more than just THAT one song), and lastly, the Stripped album from Christina is AWSOME....

Movies:

Road Trip, Rat Race, The Doors, Jekyll and Hyde Together Again, and my mind just went blank............................

Television:

LOST, Forensic Files, Law & Order: SVU, and Metal Mania on VH1 Classics.. other than that,TV sucks....

Books:

Really into James Patterson, particularly the Alex Cross series (Along Came a Spider, Kiss the Girls, Jack & Jill, Cat & Mouse, Roses are Red, Violets are Blue, Four Blind Mice, Big Bad Wolf, London Bridges, and Mary Mary).

Heroes:

Grandpa's Last Gift to the Family

My grandfather, Ray M. Ingram, passed away on December 5th, 2005.  This is something that we knew was coming, as he'd been sick for the past 10 years. His passing brought alot of sadness, but al...
