Welcome To My World

Welcome to my world of music! I'm 20 and I've been a drummer for 8 years now. It all started with me turning on the tv on New Year's Eve to see the party in Ny when I saw KISS play on tv for the first time. Thats when I knew that I had to play music. Ever since that day I've never wanted to do anything more than just play my drums (and drive everyone else crazy doing it!) Its been a dream of mine for years to put the ultimate band together and travel for the rest of my life playing for many people. I've been working in bands since the beginning of high school in 1998 and its been a long time seeing this through but its been lots of fun too. The part I think I've enjoyed most as of yet was the time my band Carrisma got to play up in Ny in November 2001. It was overall the best trip in my life. One of the best things about being with this band that I've enjoyed has been how much fun we all have together and the fact that no matter what happens none of us give up. I will be playing Rock 'N Roll music till the day I die because it makes me and other people happy and having a good time is what its all about! So live life to the fullest and have fun! I'll see ya sometime from behind the huge drumset that is getting larger all the time. Lol.
The Drummer,

If by Rudyard Kipling
    If you can keep your head when all about you are losing theirs and blaming it on you;
   If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you, but make allowance for their doubting too;
   If you can wait and not be tired by waiting, Or being lied about don't deal in lies, Or being hated don't give way to hating, And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise;
    If you can dream--and not make dreams your master;
    If you can think--and not make thoughts your aim;
    If you can meet Triumph and Dissaster and treat those two imposters just the same;
    If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools, or watch the things you gave your life to broken, and stoop and build them up with worn out tools;
    If you can make one heap of all your winnings and risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss, and lose, and start again at your beginnings, and never breath a word about your loss;
    If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew to serve your turn long after they are gone, and so hold on when there is nothing in you except the will which says to them: "Hold on!"
   If you can talk with the crowds and keep your virtue, or walk with Kings--nor lose the common touch;
   If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you;
   If all men count on you but none too much;
   If you can fill the unforgiving minute with sixty seconds' worth of distance run;
   Yours is the Earth and everything thats's in it, And--which is more--you'll be a man my son!

    This poem has meant a lot to me and helped me keep going many times when I've thought of quitting.
