After a few years of ridicule from other students for a learning disorder that left me with a stutter and an inability to read I was put into a special class by myself with a private tutor and learned how to read. By the next year I was at a reading level two years higher then my grade level. I was then made fun of, not for being the retard, but for being smart. I started to cut myself and shortly after I started smoking ganja and drinking heavily. Two years later I found myself living in the gutters hooked on heroin and coke with an abusive relationship problem and a severe problem with authority. I then got started to get into the L.A. metal scene and found Otep in 2001 and bought the Jihad ep. But 2002 I had Sevas Tra and had seen Otep at Ozzfest and decided to go straight edge. I started writing stories as a way to exercise my demons and be my theraphy because my mother was very vocal about her views on theraphy and doctors [basically she thinks they're useless retards]. I write all sorts of stuff it just depends on my mood what I decide to write and very often short stories will end up being alot longer than I thought they were going to be. I smoke cigarettes, but it's nothing like I used to, and I'm thinking of quitting for my son...]

And please don't be offended if I don't read your work... I don't read much of other peoples work... I wouldn't want to unknowingly plagiarize...
