Someday I hope to become a great musician. All that needs to be said about me is that I am not to be compartmentalized. You, yes you, all of you, or rather none of you have the ability, or the right to put me in a box. Judgment may be yours to pass, but it holds little value without consensus. I am who I am. I am what I am and I'm done apologizing for it I also hope that someday I will do something of a most magnanimous nature. I want to be someone's hero. I want to save you, help you. I'll lift you up when your down, give you a light. But, be aware that although I'm forgiving, you do not want me to hate you. I hate those who show no mercy, those who are cruel without remorse, those who are superior in their own minds. I hate those who persecute the vulnerable, the weak. Yes in this world the strong survive, the law of nature, but there are those who would defy it, who are sickened by the abuse they witness. I have remade myself, you could say I've been reborn in knowledge many times. But, don't we all have nine lives? Are we all not reborn, rearranged by our experience of life? We are all undead, waiting to find completion, life in a final death. Here is a taste of what is going to be going into studio for production next month for my debut solo album titled "Lilium" I hope you enjoy my work http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=100515916679696&ref=ts#!/group.php?gid=100515916679696&ref=mf

Drumming. I have been playing for 15 years and have never considered a career as anything but a drummer. I am a musician at heart. Listening to music that makes me feel like I'm high. Like there's power coursing through my veins. Music that dulls the false world around me and lets me catch a glimpse of the truth. Writing music and lyrics. I love to write anything from metal, to film score, mainly symphonic stuff though. Good art and literature. A piece that I can study, but always find something new and interesting in. I can certainly appreciate a good Shakespearian play. Such as Othello, my personal favourite. The poetry of William Blake. I like good people, the few there are in this world. I like honesty. I like fighting. I have studied martial arts for many years now, and I won't deny that fighting gives me incredible pleasure, however I do hate violence, it's just the thrill, the battle to survive that I enjoy in it, not watching it or hurting others. I like animals. all animals I'm certainly an animal person. I enjoy nature in general really. I enjoy studying various religions and forms of spirituality, as well as history and ancient civilizations, particularly mythology. I enjoy some time alone to reflect, and for the most part enjoy quiet. I like my cats, my family and my friends
Dislikes
I absolutely detest arrogance. I cannot abide deliberate cruelty of any kind. I despise people who attempt to force their personal views on others. I have disdain for organized religion, as I believe faith is a very personal journey. *** Those who do not respect others for who they are, not what they appear to be. *** ***Look within, beyond the looking glass. shatter your vanity and find freedom in the truth of yourself!*** Rise above perception to find the truth, for perception is bias and deceptive. The sound of loud voices, the slamming of doors/cabinets, glare, crowds, being alone constantly, people, animal cruelty and abuse, purposefully annoying people or people who are fools for attention. My own inhibitions, but I have learned to deal with them. Lies and liars, To be known.
