"The truth is that life is hard and dangerous; that he who seeks his own happiness does not find it; that he who is weak must suffer; that he who demands love, will be disappointed; that he who is greedy, will not be fed; that he who seeks peace, will find strife; that truth is only for the brave; that joy is only for him who does not fear to be alone; that life is only for the one who is not afraid to die."
~ Joyce Carey
I am the singer, guitarist and songwriter for the
USA Dark Power Metal Band 'POWERS COURT'.
OTHER INTERESTS:
FITNESS: Weight Lifting, TaeBo, golf, tennis (and don't get all excited thinking I'm trying to come off like some über buff jock LOL! I'm getting back into the things that I love in order to get back 'into' shape, relieve stress and clear my head!)
TAROT CARDS: I have a good sized collection of different decks and am constantly hunting for unusual and rare decks.
THOR HAMMERS & NORSE JEWELRY: I also collect Thor hammers aka 'Mjollnirs' or 'Mjolnirs'.
*here is a small sampling!
OCCULT: Various other occult pasttimes such as reading runes, oracles, talking board, gemstone magick, etc.,
JEWELRY DESIGN: I also design, create and sell custom jewelry.
I AM CERTIFIED:
666% ADDICTED TO MYSPACE!
ARE YOU ADDICTED?
I'd like to meet:
‡ People who are dark, but still know how to have a great time and have fun out of life!
‡ People who are uplifting vs. people that try to drag you down into their black hole with them and suck the life out of you aka 'psychic vampires'.
‡ Musicians, artists and people who are creative in general, although I prefer not to deal with bullshitters and people who like to 'front' thanks! Truly talented people don't need to be so boorish.
‡ People who are not afraid to be different nor do they apologize for it.
‡ People with a great sense of humor.
‡ Great conversationalists who like to email back and forth.
‡ Wouldn't it be wicked cool to throw a bash and have everyone from your myspace friend's list attend?
Who I'd Like To avoid:
♠ PEOPLE WHO VALUE MONEY AND MATERIAL POSSESSIONS AND TRAPPINGS OVER OTHER PEOPLE AND RELATIONSHIPS, Attention people..."YOU ARE NOT WHAT YOU OWN!"
People like this generally have nothing else going for them, e.g., no talents, no skills, no hobbies that require any skills and they cannot carry on a conversation of any depth or substance therefore they are constantly frontin' trying to impress everyone with their possessions, trips, name dropping, etc., etc., meanwhile all their credit cards are generally maxed trying to maintain this phony image. Unfortunately you cannot buy class.
♠ Plastic people who can't just be honest with you and tell you how they're feeling so you can build bridges vs. walls.
♠ Selfish/self-centered/me-me-me type people who are miserly and ungenerous with their time and everything else because they're so self absorbed they cannot be bothered to geniunely care about anyone else besides themselves and their little fantasy world they have created.
♠ Alleged xtians that are the furthest thing from their beloved 'Jesus' that they could possibly be. They play judge and jury and condemn nearly everyone around them that isn't in their little club. I quote Ghandi, "I like your Christ, I do not like your Christians. Your Christians are so unlike your Christ."
They drive themselves crazy trying to live up to impossible ideals that are all based on rules from a book that is grossly mistaken in telling us where we came from, how can we trust it to tell us where we're going?
♠ Drama Kings & Queens, no time for continual soap opera wannabes with poison agendas.
♠
HATERS! aka h8r/h8rs!
*from urbandictionary.com:
A person that simply cannot be happy for another person's success. Rather than be happy they make a point of exposing a flaw in that person.
A person who feels anger and/or jealousy towards someone who has succeeded in something they have worked hard for. A person who speaks badly,and/or takes negative actions in an attempt to create problems for a successful person or someone they perceive as a successful person.
Someone who is enraged by evidence of another's success and as a result has to try to 'one up' the successful person or simply put the successful person down. Hating is much more than just being jealous of the person who has done well, a hater would find much satisfaction in seeing some form of misfortune come to that person.
A person who is spiteful, a person who talks trash because they wish they were like someone and/or don't have the things he/she has, e.g., looks, talent, creativity, athletic ablilty, etc., or thinks a person does not deserve to have something they have acquired (received). A person who seriously needs to get a life.
If you would like to add me as a friend (and I am truly flattered if you are interested), please message me and strike up a conversation first. I love meeting new people, but I reserve this myspace page for my close friends and people I communicate with often.
Thanks for understanding.
You are however more than welcome to join my band's myspace page if you would like! Everyone is welcome 24-7 there:

What Vampire Clan Are You? ♠
TOREADOR CLANArtistic and maybe even a tad bit shallow at times, you belong to the Toreador Clan. You have a keen eye for pretty things. The embrace is looked on as preserving all beautiful things for eternity. You are the sensual vampires that people talk about that seduce to get what they want. This clan is the one thought of as being the exceptional sort who know how to get what they want. You usually work right with the Ventrue Clan as they try to carry out their plans.
The Toreador are called many things, 'degenerates','artistes' and 'hedonists' being but a few, but any such mass categorization does the clan a grave disservice. Depending on the individual and their mood, Toreador are alternately elegant, flamboyant, brilliant and visionary. Perhaps the only truism that can be applied to the clan is its members aesthetic zeal. Whatever a Toreador does, they do with passion. Whatever a Toreador is, they are with passion.
To the Toreador, eternal life is to be savored. Many Toreador were artists, musicians or poets in life. Many more have spent centuries producing art, music or poetry.
Toreador share the Ventrue love of high society, though not for them the tedium of actually running things - that's what functionaries are for dahling.
Toreador know that their place is to captivate and inspire through their witty speech, graceful deeds and simple, scintillating existence.

What's Your Viking Name?
Your Viking Personality: You're a fearless, valiant, stalwart Viking. You have a thirst for battle and tend to strike first and think later. As a Viking, you're one of the 'berserkers' and rush into battle with no clothes on. If the sight of you naked isn't enough to disable the enemy, your sword certainly will! be.
You might grumble a bit at the lack of amenities on board a Viking longboat, but you can handle it. You possess some skills which other Vikings respect, though in your case their respect is tinged with fear.
You don't always have a lot of tact if your patience has run it's course with weaklings, so it's lucky Vikings never cared much for diplomacy. You call a spade a spade, you kick ass and take names later!

How Evil Are You? ♠
Your connection with darkness is through your depression. Hated, sad and often feeling lonely, there are only a few that appreciate the real you. You tend to keep to yourself and away from the world since you don't want to be hurt and betrayed again. Music gives you the understanding you need to get through, it's your "therapy", or you express yourself through art or writing. Chances are you're also an anti-social person, who only likes being with close friends, if even that. The world has finally showed it's true face for you and you wish life wasn't this miserable to live through. Maybe you'll find happiness in the future, but right now you're just hiding away from the world. Who needs people anyway?

Are You a Creature of Night or Light?
You scored as Frankenstein. You are Frankenstein. Why? As strong as he was, he was powerless against the people who didn't understand him. People lash out at what they fear and sometimes you are the brunt of that. There are days when it feels like the world is against you and no one wants to let you be yourself. Like Frankenstein, you can be an outcast -- feeling trapped by the world's perceptions or expectations of you. You just want to be free to be you -- and somehow have it be possible to be liked for that and not shunned. .....Frankenstein, just be yourself. Make the world accept you and grow. Don't try to fit in to a mold you don't like.

MORE ABOUT PISCES: Pisces
February 19 - March 20
Pisces is the twelfth Sign of the Zodiac, and it is also the final Sign in the Zodiacal cycle. Hence, this Sign brings together many of the characteristics of the eleven Signs that have come before it. Pisceans, however, are happiest keeping many of these qualities under wraps. These folks are selfless, spiritual and very focused on their inner journey. They also place great weight on what they are feeling. Yes, feelings define Pisceans, and it's not uncommon for them to feel their own burdens (and joys) as well as those of others. The intuition of the Pisces-born is highly-evolved. Many people associate Pisceans with dreams and secrets, and it's a fair association, since those born under this Sign feel comfortable in an illusory world.
It's a pair of Fish that represents Pisceans, a symbol which prompts others to suggest that these people 'go with the flow' and 'don't make waves.' Both of these labels are true, since Pisceans are fluid and easy-going, in keeping with the Mutable Quality assigned to this Sign. The fact that two fish (as opposed to one) represent the members of this Sign also speaks to the duality of Pisceans, their yin and yang sensibility. Pisceans alternate between reality and non-reality in keeping with their introspective natures; their voyage between consciousness and an unconscious dream state says much about their intuitive, almost psychic natures. For this reason, Pisceans can be hard to pin down, prompting some to call them the chameleons of the Zodiac. The Fish are happy to be considered hazy, since there's a certain sense of safety in that self-proclaimed netherworld. That said, they won't stay away for long, since one of their primary goals is to help others. Pisceans are compassionate, charitable and will quickly put the needs of others ahead of their own. It's this kind of self-sacrifice which keeps these folks going. The flip side to their giving natures is that oft-timid Fish are likely to be taken advantage of by less well-meaning souls.
Pisces
February 19 - March 20
Pisces is ruled by the Planets Jupiter and Neptune. In ancient Roman mythology, Jupiter (the original ruler of Pisces) was the king of the gods, while Neptune was the ruler of the seas. When Neptune was discovered in recent times, it was attached to this Sign. The pairing of these two heavenly bodies results in some unique energies being directed toward Pisceans here on Earth. Those born under this Sign are spiritually oriented and charitable. They are compassionate, easily feeling another's pain. At times, however, Pisceans can have difficulty distinguishing fact from fantasy: they tend to get caught up in their dreams and views of how things should be. To say they wear rose-colored glasses isn't much of a stretch. Pisceans who fear that their pleas aren't being heard tend to lapse into melancholy and, worse, the kind of pessimism which leads to procrastination and lethargy. At times like this, Pisceans are well-served to take some time for themselves, the better to find their center once again. Many Pisceans also immerse themselves in the arts and other creative pursuits as a centering mechanism, and they are quite talented in these areas.
The Element associated with Pisces is Water. Those born under this Sign easily relate to the emotional and unpredictable nature of this liquid gold. Pisceans feel a great deal, and they also feel misunderstood much of the time. They're not quite pushovers, but they're certainly sensitive. Yes, they could cry you a river if the circumstances were right. Even so, they revel in their compassionate and imaginative natures and love to cater to others. They can also be quite romantic, dreaming up delicious treats for their lover. Hopefully, any kindness will be reciprocated, because the Fish can certainly turn blue if they're not. Pisceans are generally gentle, easy-going folk, who are on the shy and reticent side. They are modest to the point of impracticality, often stepping up only to show their talents in painting or music. Easiest for the Fish (and still great fun) is living in their lush dream world.
Special thanks to my great friend Joe for the detailed descriptions! Joe is someone who once profoundly said to me, "In my own humble opinion it's people like you and me who have turned away from conformity, who know more about what life is truly about and know how to meaningfully live it."
