Roaming through the jungle of "Ohs" and "Ahs", searching for a more agreeable noise, I live a life of primitivity with the mind of a child and an unquenchable thirst for sharps and flats.

There are 2 rules in life: Number 1- Never quit Number2- Never forget rule number 1.

People who have "their own issues" often don't stand back and look at the big picture- they're too busy orchestrating their own issues.

Rama, Allah and God are to me convertible terms.

I was the one that put myself in rehab. I was the one that went to my parents and said, you know, 'I have a problem and I need to take care of it.'
