It's a long way to the top but if you stop along the way, the journey presents itself with friends and 'buddies'.  Friends are the ones you will find are always there for you.  The 'Buddy' is that guy that uses you when he needs something and you never hear from him for anything socially significant.

I don't need any 'Buddies'.  They encircle you like the leeches they are and only drain your positive energies.

I have good friends.

I have been indoctrinated into Heavy Metal.  That is not to say that I don't appreciate other venues (no, Rap is not music) but I've heard some very decent bands (I'm not here to promote them, I'm here to promote me).

Never would I say that I am a resource for music talent but I do know what I like.  Some bands drown their vocals out either with laryngospasms…
