Instead of slashing my wrists, I just write a bunch of really crummy songs.
Yes, there are times when I get extremely depressed and how I sublimate those feelings is through music.
I had hit a critical period in my life, where I changed very much as a person. I consider the person I used to be, dead, and I'm glad that he is. Insecure, frightened, confused, much like a lot of people I know today.
Finding fresh song topics can sometimes be quite difficult.
So, I simply switched over to wine because it was not carbonated.
I've always been very image prone, along the lines of bands like Black Sabbath and even Devo.
