People say I have a distorted lens. I think I see things as they really are.

I keep interested and I keep my eyes wide open...I try to read as much as possible...try to go to places that are off the beaten path...and I love to listen in on other peoples conversations...all the things that are floating around out there and I regurgitate it with my perspective...lyrically and musically.

After I binged last night -or was it tonight - I was convinced yet again that there were people coming to get me. It was more than just shadows and voices, more than just fantasies....it was real, and I was scared to my core.My bones were shaking...m heart was pounding...I thought I was going to explode. I'm glad I have you to talk to, to write this down. I tried to keep it all together, but then I gave in to the manes and became one with my insanity.

I had to find the courage to turn my life around.

I'm able to make decisions even in the face of adversity.

There's nothing unique about me as a parent. I am a parent. My kids are kids. We do the best we can do.

I love a little distortion across the bass; I think it kind of adds something to the sound of the band when the bass is a little overdriven.
