"How often one goes to sleep troubled and full of pain, not knowing what causes the travail, and in the morning a whole new direction and a clearness is there, maybe a result of the black reasoning."

- John Steinbeck, East of Eden


"There is a tide in the affairs of men. Which, taken at the flood, leads on to fortune"

-William Shakespeare, Julius Caesar

First off, please excuse the look of the site if things look weird. I am in the middle of redoing the ENTIRE thing. New pictures, new interview, new links, etc.

So, for the REAL news now, here we go:
