NEWS

Well...some recent news

10/18/02--- my Daughter Raven Just won her Kindagarden class's Citizenship award...she now joins Brianna who won hers' in 2nd and 3rd Grade..I am so proud of my daughters..I love you Gals...more than words can say!

10/20/02--- well...after almost 2 years I have heard From Greg (Daggar)...and after an almost 2 hour Phone Convo...It seems a ToyBoxX Reunion just might be in the months ahead..after our long talk about what has been going on with our lifes in the past 2 years, Daggar and I realized that ToyBoxX was all the we know..now If We can only Convince Chuk (Slade). It may be only for 1 show or it may be a new Project...whatever happens...I know that something great will happen...because as you know ToyBoxX was the greatest band that ever was...and if you missed us playing live or our songs..then you missed alot...but alas...the chance for you to experience ToyBoxX may just be right around the corner and IF Amy will ever get in touch with me( she has the only ToyBoxX recordings in her grasp and as soon as I get them..I'll make some mp3s and you can download them)..Being as much as a singer that I want to be (well I did share lead singing with the rest of the guys when we in ToyBoxX)..and the talk of the band that Chuk and I are wanting to put together with us being the singers...I'd give it all up for ToyBoxX to be born once more..because..even if I can take the stage as a singer...I will always be a drummer at heart..and Daggar and Slade will always be what keeps my music heart pumping.....how does this strike everyone?

ToyBoxX....ReoPeneD

11/28/02 Happy Thanksgiving............ Well after some hearsay...it seems that a ToyBoxX reunion is really in the works..and that is GREAT NEWS to any music fan....BUT the fun is gonna be with Slade Daggar and I...I haven't touched a drum stick sence I left Thumpgun back in March of this year..aside of me going over to my brother Mickeys and playing Guitar and drumming for him to sharpen his chops on drumming..and Daggar hasn't thought of playing metal in 3 years..but has kept his chops up playiing his his church band....and Slade...well he sucks anyways hahaha....just kidden dude...he hasn't touched a bass sense toyboxx broke up...but Magick is Magick..and what ever it was that Greg, Chuck and I had...that was and still is magick.

9-28-03 here we go again..another woman...but this time it feels different...I met her last night (9-27) and after she and I watched Tennessee beat the Game Cocks...some kind of magick happened...her Name is April (yeah I know what you all are saying.....GRIM....NOT ANOTHER APRIL!!!...April is my Ex-wifes name)but ME and THIS April have a lot in common and in the 12 hours I spent with her that night...I had fun!!!...I can't Wait to see her again....A BIG thanx goes out to Chuk and Heather for making this happen....Thanx guys!!!!!

10-7-03 this lump of stone in my chest is cracking....and it is all because of April....she is my smile now...because sence I have met her..that's all I do is smile....she makes me WANT to smile again...she makes me want to wake up each and every day....some times life can kick you in the ass..but then..sometimes an angel can come and make everything right again.

10-13-03 April and I spent the night together last night....and we both confessed how we felt about each other....I love her and she loves me.... life can be good sometimes...but still I'm scared....I haven't felt like this in many years...maybe it is true...maybe there is somebody out there for each of us.

10-15-03 Soul mates.....that's what April called us when she signed my guestbook last. I have NEVER had a woman tell ME that we were soul mates....sure I've said it a few times to women...but never had it said to me....and the more I think of April....the more my Fear subsides....you people have to remember...the last serious relationship I had was with Amy....almost 4 years ago..and in the time sence Amy and I broke up....I have spent many nights thinking to myself that "I'm gonna go through life alone"......and just when I was ready to write off women forever.....in walks April...and walk in she did!!!!! never have I met a woman that I can just sit and talk about "guy" stuff like Wrestling and Football....I was VERY impressed of the knowledge she has about sports.....and then when she told me about all the Horror and Sci-Fi movies she digs....I was almost hooked......then when she looked into my eyes with her beautiful blue eyes and told me that she has fallen in love with me..then kissed me.......I WAS HOOKED....sure she is Blonde hair...Blue eyes..Pale skin (which I am a SUCKER FOR)...and has a bubbly personality...while I'm Black haired...Green eyed..dark skined and brooding and dark personality... but we balance each other out into an almost perfect couple (no such thing a perfect)....and most of all....she loves me.....and I love her.....we are soul mates April.....because when your soul smiles...so does mine..and that is what mates are supposed to do for each other...make each other happy...and I am VERY happy...for the first time in YEARS...I'm happy!
