About Me

Evolution....this description is always changing but that's good. If it didn't change. that'd mean I wasn't growing. For better or worse I'm alive. I try to make the most of what I have and look for the best. I have no time for shitty hurtful people. Be true or get the fuck out.Now I'm standing w my mouth wide open in disbelief GuiltyYou're so vague Blessed be looking up at you on the cross MartyrNow we've reached the climax there's no more days or nights no more seasons to pass Somehow I thought you'd be there on the other side of this all And all the while I can almost see you smile while I twist in the wind like your words that twist mine I was dead wrongYou're not the person I built up the angel I thought I had found the one I was afraid of she's my destroyer

Heroes:

My Pops - for getting me started w music and always being in my corner, Candace, for setting me on the right path, being there, and giving me the best gift ever, My Son Grady - For being everything I could never be. My Daughter Julia - My number 1 ! (and only) for giving me a reason to live unselfishly and making me be the best person I can be, thanks for always being there for me, my 4 bandmates/best friends/brothers Chris (miss you dude), Russ, Jay, Dave and Adam for always having my back! My guitar(s) for being there through out my life when no one else is around or I don't quite have the strength to speak, Davis for A.) being the best kid ever not on drugs and B.) filling the void in the FR History - to the future we go, kick them fucking doors down and take names...Anyone who lives selflessly and sincere... I tend not to look up to people, but respect them for what they do. Anybody I had looked up to either turned out to be an *sshole or let me down in some way - so I don't believe in the whole pedestal thing //
