I fall upon my knees like Lord forgive me!
Out of the commandments I’ve broken ten out of ten now.
Blasting me, past in me because now Satan’s my pen pal!
Michigan 1988-2008
To start things off, I am not normal. As a child I love tootsie roll pops so much, that one time on Halloween, I discovered a razor blade in the sucker and I just ate around it. I had been born in the city of Flint, Michigan July 21, 1988 I lived on the south side. My father built houses, while my mother took care of the house. Like every kid in America, I grew up on Cartoon Network, Dragon Ball, Nintendo, Ninja Turtles, and Power Rangers.
I witnessed gang fights in the church parking lot across the street. bums sleeping on my porch, alcoholics, and schools that contained Metal detectors. My house on fenton road was next to a bar known as "Fenton Road Tavern". Playing with my toys outside, I saw a lot of things a young kid should have never seen at my age in the bar parking lot. The bar had fist fights, racists, and women abuse in the parking lots.

If Charles Manson was eating froot loops on your front porch!
My parents never allowed my brother and I to go really anywhere. I didn't get to hang out with friends till I was 12 and so I was super sheltered and I learned a lot of things really late. I did not comprehend to tie my shoes until 4th grade and didn't grasp how to ride a bike till I was 10. To this day I still have a hard time comprehending the simple things in life. A catastrophic event occurred within my family when I was 12 and my dad had been stalked. We ended up moving out of Flint to Farwell. Farwell is where I met all my rad classmates of today.
They are the definition of true friends
Dave Mustaine:
True Enemies are better than false friends
Without these friends, Steve Brown, Chris Marshall Jarred Arnold, Justin & Josh Phenix, Wes Berger, My step cousin Eric, Jessie Hammond, Derek Lorenz, Jesse Wild, and later in life David Post, I don't think I would be alive right now. They are what true friends are all about. I THANK ALL OF YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT!

We don't believe the words, we just love the way they sound
Metal is my main choice of Music. My parents always had the classic rock or country on the radio. I didn't mind the classic rock, but rebelled against country and started listening to the pop station 102.5, liking Smash Mouth and The Backstreet Boys. Eventually I found Linkin Park, by looking through my friends cd case and became really obsessed with the album Hybrid Theory. It was the first band I really appreciated the screaming. When my uncle Jason blared Pantera when he lived at my house, when I was 6, Phil's vocals scared the shit out of me! I never understood why I loved Linkin Park so much at first. It was really angry, but the energy of the music made it a undeniable match. After finally seeing them live on Projekt Revolution 2004, Linkin Parks cover of the song "Wish" led me to a brand new band Nine Inch Nails and whole new genre completely known as "Industrial". Getting into KMFDM, Front 242, Skinny Puppy, Velvet Acid Christ, and Pigface.
Industrial led me to the Industrial Metal band Ministry and I started craving more Heavy Music. Ministry led me to going through Nu-Metal like Slipknot and eventually attending Ozzfest 2005 where I started appreciating Black Sabbath and found Iron Maiden, In Flames, Killswitch Engage, and getting interested into Hardcore after watching Bury Your Dead. Arch Enemy really freaked me out when I watched them! Seeing a chick pulling of extreme death Metal vocals, was really creepy.
I spent pretty much all through 2005 and 2006 exploring the Thrash of Megadeth, More Metalcore and Gothenburg, like All That Remains and At The Gates, The Florida Death Metal of Obituary, The Black Metal of Emperor, Darkthrone, and Cradle of Filth, and still liking some Nu-Metal. Eventually I pulled away from Bands like Linkin Park, Slipknot, and Mudvayne. In the middle of all this my friend Jarred Arnold got me hooked on Punk/Hardcore with Bands like Rancid, Dropkick Murphys, Suicide Machines, Stiff Little Fingers, Cro-Mags, Murphy's Law, Earth Crisis, Hoods, The Clash, and finding my own tied favorite Punk bands, The Sex Pistols and Black Flag!
Daddy X: Think for yourself man don't do like they do, it's a sick world, you just gotta stay true!
Stay true and everything'll be cool, you gotta blaze ya own trails and make ya own moves.
I avoided pure rap at all cost, but looking back at Linkin Park's Remix album Reanimation, I loved the pure rap of the forgotten remix and loved the flows of the rappers who guested on the Papercut remix. I picked up Beastie Boys Licensed to Ill and my friendship with Rap was born. I got curious about Insane Clown Posse, and kept hearing about them from friends. I got a laptop for Graduation and I was at my friends Jessie Hammond, and his brother had all their albums. I copied all of it to the laptop and went to work on sanding logs on a log cabin my dad was building. It was the only thing I had to listen to staying near Detroit working for almost two weeks. I became hooked with the story telling and horror movie elements ICP brought. Little did I know the genre was called Horrorcore Rap.
ICP was the gateway leading me to the rest of Psychopathic Records and horrorcore Rappers such as New York's Judge Cryptic, Mars Of Mad Insanity Records, Insane Poetry, Lo Key of Mission Infect, Brotha Lynch Hung, Ganksta Nip, Mr. F.R.E.E.Z.E., and Gravediggaz. The Combination of The Beastie Boys and ICP also brought me to liking the old school and the darker side of Rap like, Public Enemy, Crossworm, GrewSum, Ice-T, Tech N9ne, N.W.A., and Intrinzik. For the most part I am a music addict and I am willing to give different types of music a chance, tho I am a little picky. Johnny Cash is the only country I like.
Trying to start life

Got A Few Chromosomes Workin' Overtime
I graduated in May of 2006 from Farwell High School, but I had no idea what I wanted to do really in life. I was part of a roofing crew all summer and avoiding to get my drivers license, because a car accident that killed my second cousin scared the hell out of me, which had me scared to drive. I was afraid of becoming a nobody.
Depression soon caught up with me and I asked my grandparents if I could stay with them for a while to get a break from my Family's money troubles. My Grandfather Frank conquered my fear of driving and I came back home to find a job and attended Mid Michigan Community College for a full year. My family's debt became even worse and they eventually moved to Montana. I stayed and lived with my friend Wes for over a month, still with no luck of a job.
The death of my uncle Jason brought me back with the family and I left to Laurel Montana with Lafey Blain. I am working at the local IGA Grocery store in Laurel and I have my own Cadillac. I plan on going back to college to get a degree in Psychology and get a book Published through Random house. I also want to learn how to DJ, when I can afford it, along with starting my own record label. My best friend Steve and I will accomplish getting a book published, so keep a look out!
You were born an Original! Don't die a copy. Be Yourself!

Shit, I missed out on it. Found out I had to work at the last minute, at 6:30 the next morning. Yeah, that'd fly like a fart in church with me..........NOT! Hahahah. Anyways yeah, I was pretty pissed. That and my boyfriend was being a bitch and "forgot" about the show. Gee, okay, maybe I'll forget about buying him those Disturbed/LaCuna Coil tix he wanted for his b-day, too!
