I'm a restless heart with a strong desire for intellectual expression and visual stimulation. The earth is a big and beautiful place, so I figure, why not dwell in and explore it as much as possible! For me, life is about love, music, and the effect of words on the soul. I look for those who are as passionate about their lifestyle as I am. I'm extremely sporadic. I spend a lot of time going to shows, exploring the hardcore music scene (in ALL its forms) and meeting new people. I'm determined and incredibly passionate about life, interested in only positive vibes. With all intents and purposes I am a firm believer in the "Hardcore" culture, believing that just because you went and got your teeth knocked out at a show and covered yourself in tattoos doesn't mean your hardcore. I'd like to keep all my teeth thank you very much. See, Hardcore set the precedent, but it's not just the music that defined a generation, it's the spirit behind it that defines who we are as a people together, united under one cause. While having piercings and tattoos may define what many define as "looking hardcore", I don't believe that's solely what makes someone a part of the culture. My plan is to write my story through the images I choose to put on my body throughout life, not as a way to fit a niche, but to express what I carry with me, as I grow. I deeply despise over-inflated egos and thoroughly enjoy deep and intellectual conversation. I'm extremely accepting and I tolerate what most people can't. I promote events and book shows from time to time and when I'm not doing that, I'm diving into the shelves and stock rooms of the great, great House of Guitars helping customers satisfy their want for music, daily! Most of the time though, I'm going to shows, taking pictures of bands/artists, and indulging in the modern music scene. This site will host reviews, news, and updates on all of my ventures, on popular releases and underground music. I'm very versatile when it comes to living in the moment. I can create a soundtrack of music for each day of my life on a whim! I also love to make friends so there's never a dull moment! Words are consistently on my mind. I love their sounds, meanings, and the things they put forth through their communication. Every time something is spoken, muttered, or clarified, a light peaks out of a dark confusion shining bright. Simply put, I'm addicted to words, they define my passions. My 3 standards in life are as follows: Music, Philosophy, and Fecundity. I'm Straight Edge, because it's okay to live drug and alcohol free, without judgment of those who don't choose to do the same. Stay posi. XXX circa 2010. <3's to Hardcore!

   Dia Frampton has a way of making you fall in love with her, if not only because she makes the stage her own, it’s that, with every beautifully aching moment, you realize who she is on stage, is exactly who she is in life. A soft, well-spoken, and explosive talent that deserves just every bit of your attention. Looking back, it’s hard to say where I was for the hour she was on stage. I was far too deep in this songstresses hymns to even notice that my jaw was inching, gradually down to the floor. 

   On the balcony, looking down upon the room, I could feel the air as it grazed me, so damp & thick. With every step I took towards the edge, it were as if my body was cutting through cloth. Hanging my head over the balcony bars, I listened, briefly closing my eyes, for a few moments at a time, becoming something else with every word sung. 

   I imagined myself a-flight, above the bobbing heads of the crowd. Swooping and soaring, her songs were the perfect soundtrack to a daydream. Yet, before I could bring myself to mix with the air, my eyes startled open, and my heart, stammering to pump blood, began to ache. There, before me, was a bare-footed beauty, elegantly dressed, with a voice as serene as sunshine. Flawless beyond all measure, with arms outreached, she grasped the room in her hands, driving our souls on a poetic trip through her life, song after song, after beautiful song. It was only when she let go, that I felt empty, and out of love with the moment. Like a connection was severed. An amazing musical connection. Although I’m thankful I lived it, I could’ve lived in it, forever. 

   Dia, with an honest heart such as yours in the world, singing itself out to countless crowds as it does, I know ingenuity still has a place in music. Through your poetry, and originality, I know you will go on to inspire so many. You’ve inspired me. If there’s ever a time that you feel out of place, as does every artist at some point, just remember, so many people love to see you smiling. Singing. Performing, with your every heart string.

   You’re amazing, and I hope you know.
