Greetings ladies and gentlemen to the dark recesses of my insatiably curious and creative mind. Firstly, I would like to thank everyone for the inspiration and motivation to keep penning poetry and stories. I did stop for a time, but now I am back in full force. I do hope that whoever reads my works takes something from them but if not, I understand. Poetry and song are my strengths but I do enjoy creative writing and essays as well. I draw inspiration from several sources: life in general, artists, family, friends, tragedy, beauty and nature.

Some of my favorite musicians include: AFI, Anathema, Apocalyptica, Arcade Fire, Bauhaus, The Birthday Massacre, Blaqk Audio, Blutengel, Brand New, Coheed and Cambria, Combichrist, The Cruxshadows, The Cure, Dead Can Dance, Depeche Mode, The Doors, The Dresden Dolls, Emilie Autumn, HIM, The Hyzoloists, Interpol, Joy Division, Lamb of God, Linkin Park, Loreena McKennitt, Marilyn Manson, The Mars Volta, Mindless Self Indulgence, Neverending White Lights, Nightwish w/Tarja Tarunen, Nirvana, OTEP, A Perfect Circle, Placebo, Puscifer, Rammstein, Razed in Black, Rob Zombie, She Wants Revenge, Siouxsie and the Banshees, Sisters of Mercy, The Smiths, Switchblade Symphony, System of a Down, Thrice, TOOL, Type O Negative, The Used, Violent Femmes, Voltaire, :wumpscut: and The 69 eyes.

I abhor cliches. I love creativity. I love originality. I love being pushed to the edge. I love the idea of antiestablishmentarianism. It is my deepest, sincerest wish that most of you love me or hate me. I belief life is not black and white, yet, I don't believe in partial feelings. You're either completely immersed in something or you're removed from it. Simple as that.
