Born Corey Owen Grundstein in 1973 and raised in South Miami, FLA. I currently live in Saginaw, Michigan, U.S. and go by the nickname "Core". I have two beautiful boys, Malachi (b. 1996) and Logan (b. 2000) whom my entire world is based on. I am a tattoo artist and covered in tattoos. I am obsessed with Metallica.
I was adopted at birth 3 years and 2 months after my older brother was born and also adopted and we were raised by wonderful parents. They passed away in 1991 (Dad) and 1992 (Mom). My older brother David and I are the greatest friends in the world. He was the Best Man at my wedding, we have never hit each other out of anger (came close once lol), we just have the greatest sibling relationship I have ever seen and I'm not just being biased. He is my stepping stone. He is my foundation. I love him as much as I love my own children! D, you rawk bro!
I found my biological mother in April of 2006. In addition to making that wonderful connection with my biological mother and beginning our new relationship, I was also extremely pleased to find out that I have 2 younger half-brothers who, coincidentally, I have a lot in common with. Similar musical tastes, beliefs and ideals. I couldn't be happier about this situation. My mother and brothers have accepted me into their family with open arms, really made me feel welcome and an immediate member of their family. My Mom invited me to Miami in October 2006 to go on a cruise with her, my little brothers and their cousins (Twins) and Aunt to Grand Cayman Island and Jamaica! It was a phenomenal trip in every way, shape and form. Just meeting with and spending time with my new family was kewl enough but the cruise (my second cruise so far) on top of it was just incredible. There are pictures of the trip in the "C.O.G. Incorporated" album. This experience of finding my biological family has been overwhelming and wonderful! I look forward to being a big part of their lives for the rest of mine.
I am an amateur astronomer and I believe energy is the all seeing, all being force in the universe and has always existed. I believe there is a ton of life in our universe from intelligent to viral and bacterial to one celled organisms and everything in between that we know about and a lot that we do not know about. I believe our universe began as an extremely small primeval atom and exploded into the universe we know now. Hydrogen and Helium are the building elements of the universe. All other elements were created in the stars and stardust from a stars life and death which, by the way, is all fact now. I believe the universe will expand until it reaches critical mass, slows down and begins to contract, eventually collapsing in on itself and creating another primeval atom which again will explode and start the cycle all over again. It has taken about 30 of the 35 years I have been on this planet to get to this point and this is what I will believe until I die. I appreciate how faith in a higher power gives people interior strength and courage. I have all respect for it and how it makes people feel less alone on this little rock we're on floating in space. I know, as most of us do, that we are not alone in the universe. There is a great deal of life in our universe. And each life is precious. Because it belongs to that specific individual, from bacteria to trees to reptiles to humans. I know, like we all do now, that we are not the center of the universe. That there are such amazing things in our universe and we have only scratched the surface on what is out there and what is to be learned.

EDITORIAL: I believe in the freedom of the human race. I believe in the U.S. Declaration of Independence. I believe in the U.S. Constitution. I believe in the U.S. Bill of Rights. I believe all of them should be preserved and followed the way they were originally written no matter what the cost. I DO NOT believe in giving up liberties for securities. Security is something that should be a given in any society. We elect people to high offices to protect us and take care of national and international interests for the good of the people. Not for their own selfish needs or desires.
I believe in the constant pursuit of truth. I believe in Pure research. I believe in and love my country. I support our troops over seas. I believe they should be brought home. I will support them even more when they become informed, are awakened to the truth & join the Revolution against our governing oppressors. I am a Constitutionalist & I am a humanist.
Let it be known that I absolutely abhor violence of any kind! I am questioning what at least half of the United States people, and a good portion of the world's population are asking, that has not been answered by the official 9/11 Commission. I question why thousands of soldiers and civilians have to die for a cause that at least some of them do not believe in. A cause that most of the world's population involved does not believe in. A cause that has never been fully explained to any of us for that matter aside from the lies about Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD) that were NOT found in Iraq.
I believe in free speech & the right to believe what people want to believe. I believe in freedom of the press which is the only business that is specifically protected by the Constitution. I believe in the right to bear arms in order to maintain a strong militia among the people as stated in the Declaration of Independence & the Bill of Rights. I believe in freedom of religion or lack of religion. I believe a person's body is their own and by definition should be entitled to do with it what they please. I believe in due process. I believe in innocence until proven guilty in a court of law. And most of all, again, I believe in the constant pursuit of truth.
With the omission of certain key aspects of September 11th and other "terrorist" activites such as the disaster & abuse of power by the ATF and FBI at the Mt. Carmel center in Waco Texas, the Oklahoma City Bombing, the World Trade Center Bombing in 1993, the Madrid Bombings on March 11th, 2004, the London Bombings on July 7th, 2005, and many many others, as well as the Freedom of Information Act and the U.S. Bill of Rights being shredded by the U.S. Federal Government, I continue my never ending pursuit for truth. We ARE the people. It's time we started acting like it.
