Music is like life for me....like the air I breath I can't live without it. I like a lot of genres but I will always be a punk/ska/hardcore/metal/indie girl (for life, baby)....80's music makes me think of happier times....some hip hop/rap is okay (mainly Toby Mac, Pigeon John, Cross Movement, LA Symphony, Lecrae, Trip Lee, the artists from Syntax Records (Man of War), Flobots...etc...)........
Oh, and support your local bands....most of them are better than what you hear on the radio....

You Should Be a Song Writer
You have the ability to evoke emotion, tell a story, and hook someone...
In a very small amount of words, perhaps with some deft rhyming.
Even if you can't write music, you can sure write compelling lyrics.
Lyrics so good, people will have them stuck in their heads!
***Hey everyone! The name's Vickie....short for Victoria....and yes, that is the correct spelling for "Vickie"....or so I am told....lol! My life is never boring...Being born in Florida, living in Chicago, Illinois (Chi-Town that is) and all over Cali (Northern and Southern....and did I mention that I soooooo miss Southern California?) and now Idaho....
***I'm just a chick who loves hanging out with my friends....a good trip to Disneyland....or maybe the beach....or maybe anywhere for that matter, I just like to travel....I'm obsessed with the UK and British people and one day I'll be traveling there to see it all....and probably live there (I blame all the British tv that I watched as a kid....lol!)
***I absolutely love vintage things...vintage cars...vintage clothes...you name it, I love it!!!......and, I'm a Black and White Foto kind of gal ; )
***I'm short and small but I pack a punch! I'm not too much of a girly girl...I'd much rather hang with my guys. I'm into Hardcore music and moshing (and surprising people when I mosh), Tackle Football, Westling, Hiking, Tent Camping (because that's the only way to do it) and Gaming (Xbox!!!). One day I'll learn how to work on a car so I can restore and old one...
***The E.R.A.C.E. Foundation (Eliminating Race and Creating Equality) is my heart.......
***I strive to have a love for God that will make anything else I love feel defeated in His sight...He is the reason why I am breathing and all my praise goes to Him for sending His Son Jesus (Himself in the flesh) to die for us and for Jesus rising again, defeating death so that we can have everlasting life...This is what I believe. I'm not here to push it down your throat, I'd much rather be a lady about it and give you the choice to believe. It's called free-will my friend......
***I like creativity....mine and others....it inspires me....
***I'm totally in love and intrigued with music....I like to write , I like to sing and I like to play my guitar....And 80's music makes me giggle because I love it so....
***I like to be random most days....okay, everyday ; )......
***I have my "What was I thinking?" goober moments....I'm not perfect, but I'm pretty darn close........(that's a joke kids....HA!).......
***My friends will tell you that I am the whitest black girl you will ever meet...I can't deny it ; ).......But I will not be labeled as anything other than myself....I try hard to be just me despite the influences in my life. Kind of hard in this generation but I'll still try........
***I have dreams, goals and aspirations that I long to pursue....I doubt that I'd get to all of them but if I can get to some of them, that would make me the most happy in my life. Just to know that my life won't be wasted in the "What ifs..."....Just to know that I've completed God's will for me..........
***You can catch me on AIM sometimes....I might be on more often that usual....maybe ; )
AIM = UnusualGuppy05
***That's basically all about me that I can muster up....please feel free to talk to me about whatever is on your mind. I like to be an attentive listener and I try my hardest to keep up with everyone (not succeeding so well but I try)....Love you all muchly....Take care....Lord bless ya!!!
Who I'd like to meet: People, I just like to meet new people......Tim Burton (the best director in the world to me besides my friend Immanuel)......My favorite bands and musicians that inspire me......World Changers (people who want to change the world in a good way)......Coco Nilla (Oh wait, I already met him and he's Faboo ^_^) and the Lord Himself (someday Lord....come quickly!)......
what, mrs. gibbs, you should have called if you were out there for a week, it's only a hour and half away from me!!! it's all good, I'm sure i'll see you before to long :P
Its been along time comming BUT Our brand new acoustic EP will be available to download from Thursday 1st October 2009. Only from www.10reasonstolive.com. Heres a little taster for you
it is amazing to think that in 2 months you will be married and a home owner. the last few months for us were chaos... with getting all the last minute stuff taken care of and since we bought our house about 2 months before the wedding getting stuff moved in and all the stuff for the house. me and chris are hanging in there. money is tight for us just like it is for almost anyone. but god is continually providing money for the bills and for food.
