the people who listen, and are in tune with th... continue reading

The definition still, for the most part, remains female or male. There is no and/or/neither category. American’s are quick to tell everyone that will listen that t... continue reading

There are very few bands that interest me from the very first guitar riff. Waltz for Venus was/is just one of those bands.

In a world where most of us are caught up in our own struggle to be successful we forget to keep in touch with the people who got us where we are, the people who gave us the confidence to conquer the world.

The dining room seemed to have a steely glow in comparison to ... continue reading
