Because of the kind of music that I liked, and the different way that I dressed, it was kind of a perfect storm, creating a situation where I existed on my own throughout my schooling.

Every day, people say crappy things about my band or whatever, but I live a positive existence. I got through everything by virtue of having the same passion that I've had through the years.

I think the biggest faults that bands tend to have in terms of drama or breaking up is bands don't learn people's personalities. When you spend as much time with people obviously it's going to rub off, and you are going to get to know the way people are. You can make sure day to day people are accommodated to and people feel positive about the experience, then you can stay together as a band, at least that is my opinion.

Please remember, that even in your darkest moments, you still have the choice to focus your energy on the positive and create a better life.

And death climbs up the steps one by one.

I tend to have a very analytical mind, I'm constantly thinking about how things can be better or different.

Something pure to burn away the darkness that hides inside my mind
