Music has always been something of a mouthpiece for my emotional being.
I embrace who I am, where I've been--the journey I've been on--and where I'm going.
The idea that one should fit inside a prescribed box, to follow a set list of rules... is ridiculous.
It's important to be who, what, how you are--and tell the naysayers to "go to hell" as my grandpa advised.
Punk is my genre, poetry is my soul, music is my mouthpiece and love makes me whole. Rock on, and enjoy the music!
