Well, I'm a rockin' som'bitch. I love Heavy Metal in particular. My favorite band is Drowning Pool, both with Dave and then with Jason, and ever since Ryan, the former lead singer of SOiL became Drowning Pool's new lead. I've been fuckin' purely addicted and inspired constantly. And truthfully, No matter what ever happens I'm always gonna fan of them until the end.
I have a band called Terramute. And I'll be honest, it's gonna be friggin mind-blowing, so get a fuckin' helmet. We're already off to a damn great start. The members are Myself (Obviously, on Vocals), Big V. (Lead Guitar), Sprink (Rhythm Guitar), Johnny Lockjaw (Bass), Ironside (Piano/Keys), and Drums is currently non-applicable and free. So in the mean time, I'm writin' all the drum shit 'til I or anyone else finds a badass drummer.
I write music in general, which also entails composing, I'm a lyricist, and I sing. And I'm tellin' ya, I write like Mad. Especially lyrics. It's always on my mind. From the second I wake up to the second I fall asleep. As you've read already if you're not a complete slothy bastard, I'm a singer. My singin' style really is a mixture of Drowning Pool's late great Dave Williams, and Ryan McCombs, Layne Staley and Jerry Cantrell (Alice In Chains), A little bit of Jeffery Nothing and J-Mann (Mushroomhead), Dax Riggs (Acid Bath), Dez Fafara (DevilDriver and Coal Chamber), Kelly Shaefer (Atheist and Neurotica), Christian Älvestam (Scar Symmetry), J. Loren (HURT), Wayne Static (Static-X), Phil Anselmo (You best know what all he's been in), Edsel Dope (Dope), Bryan Scott (The Union Underground), and a little bit of Scott Weiland's. But, don't be surprised if on occassion some Jonathan Davis, John Bush, and Pepper Keenan-esque vocals influence shows through.
That's pretty much my singin' style and what all goes into it.
It's very different and unique. Which is what I live for being: Unique. Different. Myself.
Nowadays it seems everybody prefers spendin' more time tryin' to be someone they're not and something they're not that it's literally become almost contagion.
It really is rare to meet people who stand out anymore.
But, as I was sayin' before I got off the subject of my influences, another for singing In General is Mike Patton for his ridiculous range and just one of a kind style.
Other than singin' though I also know how to play guitar and drums (some, not a lot though cause I spend a hell of a lot more time composin' shit for 'em). But I can play piano (I don't read sheet music however, oh and nor did John Lennon). Which by the way, I actually compose quite a bit for many instruments. Yet most of the shit I do compose, I just get other people to play for me.
Now ain't that just pimpswa?
I'm really into poetry and I like creatin' create quotes that are either poetic, morbid, or just straight up serious, realistic, and matter-of-fact.
Also, I fuckin' love video games. I'm into Fighting games, RPG's, and Action adventure games namely. Oh, and, of course the Smackdown (vs. Raw) series. Ya Gotdamn Right! and if you Only Knew how much time I've put into CAWs over the years...you'd fuckin' shit.
Another general interest of mine is reading about Religion, Mythology, and Demonology. I've been known to have a deep interest for psychology too, because according to the people I know I'm pretty good at it.
I've been an artist my whole life and draw a lot. I love fuckin' around with face paint too. Which must be the Native American part in me showin' through along with my pure love for art combined.
I'm always interested in and reading about Fuedal Era Japan, Pirates, Knights/Medieval things in general, Vampires, Vikings, Zombies, and Egyptians. Another interest of mine is readin' about and understanding the human mind and how it works and ticks. Oh, and, I'm also a BIG fan of Wrestling and always will be (I was raised on it).
I'd like to meet:
I figured since I never had one of these formally addressed, I'd say fuck it and finally do so.
Which, if ya wanna know why, I honestly just didn't and still really don't give a shit. I see this as more of personal enjoyment and amusement to be completely honest, but hey, that's just me.
Anyways, first and foremost you need to ask yourself, Who would You really want to meet?
Really.
Am I someone you want to meet? Are you someone I would like to meet?
Let's see if so afterall.
Think of this more as a, well, a future disclaimer shall we?
If you personally want to, and find out about the kinda people I am genuinely interested in meeting, I did a blog on it dedicated to this section, but it took up too much room so if you want to know:
This Is "Who I'd Like To Meet"
So besides all that though, I got to talk to Drowning Pool once on the phone (Stevie, C.J., and Mike) when they were on "97.1 The Eagle" before it died and when I Actually listened to the radio occasionally (shock n' awe) way back in the day. But, it'd be cool as fuck to actually meet them. It'd be cool to meet any member of Megadeth, Metallica, Rob Zombie, Pantera, Ozzy Osbourne, Mike Patton, Trent Reznor, Nobuo Uematsu, Yoko Kanno, Black Label Society, Deathstars, Dope, DevilDriver, Mushroomhead, Machine Head, Static-X, KoRn, Kreator, Paradise Lost, Monster Magnet, Hurt, Hatebreed, The Union Underground, Tool, or Alice In Chains too. Well truthfully, there's Way more, so personally any band, correction, any Good Band that I've ever listened to and that inspired me some no matter what.
You need more to the list? Ok then, Vince McMahon, All the wrestlers who've inspired me over the years, Johnny Depp, Adam Sandler, Seth MacFarlane, Denis Leary, Katt Williams, Lewis Black, George Lopez, George Carlin (Joe Bless You man), Bill Maher, Henry Rollins, Maddox, and Jackie Chan.
And now somethin' to break your concentration:

Books:
An Unsatisfied Woman by Your Wife
Heroes:
For Music: Dave "Stage" Williams and Drowning Pool in general. Can't forget Dimebag Darrell or Phil Anselmo, well honestly, all of Pantera either. But overall any and every band I like I look up to and respect.
For Wrestling: Eddie Guerrero, Shawn Michaels, Raven, Paul London, Chris Jericho, Undertaker, Tajiri, Liger, Ultimo Dragon, Naomichi Marufuji, KENTA, Christopher Daniels, Rob Van Dam, Kurt Angle, The Great Muta (Keiji Mutoh), Mick Foley, Jake "The Snake" Roberts, Edge, and The Hardy Boyz.
Personally: No one, cause they'll all let you down at one time or another.
Overall: Myself and Dave "Stage" Williams.
Dave because he hands down has had the biggest impact on my life ever. And in my eyes that guy was and is "The Badass". Also was given the title of "Nicest Person in the Music Industry." Now that's sayin' somethin' people, cause uh, if ya, haven't noticed, there's A LOT of people in the world of music and a lotta apathetic assholes in it to boot. Also man, that guy had uncanny energy on stage, he could make a whole crowd jump up and down and sing along to the lyrics even if they barely knew who the hell he or Drowning Pool was. That's somethin' that most bands and musicians not only nowadays, but in general could only dream of doing. Especially since Drowning Pool could do that every single night with the motivation of him. The guy's a true legend. An underrated one too. And although his time in the limelight wasn't long, his legend will live on forever in the hearts and the memories of me, and the rest of his fans.
And other than him, the next would be myself because I believe in myself and there's nothin' more heroic than bein' your own.
I've been through my own trials and tribulations like most people. My hardships and unhappy shit. But I'm still here and I perceivere. Every single day. The risks I've taken and the lives I've effected and people I've helped. I always look at it like, If you can't look up to yourself then how the hell will anyone else?
You must be your own redeemer, your own rectifier, your own savior, and keep yourself company.
Cause at one time or another, we're always left all alone. That's the cold truth.
Whatever you believe in 'God'/Karma/Cosmic Normality, it doesn't matter, forces helps those who help themselves. If you can help yourself, you can save yourself. I always have told not just myself but others to put forth the effort and idea of change, never compare your achievements to someone else. Change the world by a new change, not an old change.
No one ever is impacted or influenced by an old change or repeat.
The world is influenced by new accomplishments.
It's all about setting the bar, a standard.
You set another, it should encourage people to do their damndest to break the measuring stick and carve another.
If you don't, then you're just limiting yourself to other people's potentials, not your own. Hence, you'll always be selling yourselves short.
