My Favorite Album; My favorite album is probably Hank Williams - Alone With His Guitar. Mostly because I enjoy everything the man done, but also because this particular album just sends chills down my spine when listening to it. The track 'Alone and Forsaken' just gets me every time. The Velvet Underground and Nico almost had the title of my favorite album, but I changed my mind. Honestly though, I think its unfair to narrow it down to one particular album. I would rather make a list of favorites. haha.

My Favorite Lyric; Because I can so relate to this a lot of times.
Hank Williams - I'll Never Get Out Of This World Alive
Now you're lookin' at a man that's gettin' kinda mad
I've had a lots of luck but it's all be bad
No matter how I struggle and strive I'll never get out of this world alive
My fishin' pole is broke the creek is full of sand
My woman ran away with another man
No matter how I struggle abd strive I'll never get out of this world alive
A distant uncle passed away and left me quite a batch
And I was livin' high until that fatal day
A lawyer proved I wasn't born I was only hatched
Everythin's again' me and it's got me down
If I jumped in the river I would probly drown
No matter how I struggle and strive I'll never get out of this world alive
These shabby shoe I'm wearin' all the time is full of holes and nails
And brother if I stopped on a worn out dime
I bet a nickeI I could tell if it was heads or tails
I'm not gonna worry wrinkles in my brow
Cause nothing's ever gonna be alright no how
No matter how I struggle and strive I'll never get out of this world alive


My First Gig; Some small time local country act while I was younger, and Weird Al at a theme park once. Haven't gotten to a show I really wanted to attend yet though, sadly.

The Book that Changed Me; American Psycho. I can no longer sleep with the lights out in my house. Honestly though, its between American Psycho by Ellis, and Junky by Burroughs. AP because of the shock value. Junky because it was one of the first novels I read. lol.

My Favorite Painting; I'm clueless on painting.

My Style Icon; Hmm, I dunno, whoever wears hoodies/t shirt/jeans daily. LOL.

My Favorite Place; Anywhere I can relax and just listen to music. I don't have one particular place I enjoy doing this. Just so there is nobody bothering me.

My Favourite Album Artwork; Bongzilla's Gateway is the one that always comes to mind. Not because its related to smoking weed, its just cool looking.

My Idol; Hank Williams. I know it seems I worship him, but this is my honest answer. The man was so amazing with a pen. Plus he had a great voice and was a major influence on A LOT of musicians. Basically, I would like to be able to write 1/100 as good as him.

My Alter Ego;I have no idea.
