This represents what I wanna do so bad.I think my next album will be based off of this theme lol.I don't know who the author is but if I did I would give him props that's for sure. Please read and enjoy!!<br><br><br><br><strong><span style="color:#4B0082;">I am hereby officially tendering my resignation as an adult. I have decided I would like to accept the responsibilities of a 5 year old again.<br><br>I want to go to McDonald's and think that it is a four star restaurant.<br><br>I want to sail sticks across a fresh mud puddle and make ripples in a pond with rocks.<br><br>I want to think M&M's are better than money because you can eat them.<br><br>I want to lie under a big oak tree and watch the ants march up its trunk.<br><br>I want to run a lemonade stand with my friends on a hot summer's day.<br><br>I want to go fishing and care more about catching the minnows along the shore than the big bass in the lake.<br><br>I want to think the world is fair.<br><br>I want to return to a time when life was simple. When all I knew about were colors, multiplication tables, and nursery rhymes. When I didn't know what I know now.<br><br>When all I knew was to be happy because I was blissfully unaware of all the things that should make me worried.<br><br>I want to think that a quarter is worth more than a dollar bill because it is prettier and weighs more.<br><br>I want to think that everyone is honest and good. I want to believe that anything is possible.<br><br>I want to be oblivious to the complexities of life and be overly excited by the little things in life again.<br><br>I want to believe in the power of smiles, hugs, a kind word, truth, dreams, the imagination, the Tooth Fairy, a kiss that makes a boo-boo go away, making angels in the snow, and that my dad and G-d are the strongest people in the world.<br><br>So......here's my checkbook and my car keys, my credit cards and the bills, my 401K statements, my stocks and bonds, my collections, my insurance premiums, my job, my house and the payments, my e-mail address, pager, cell phone, computer, and watch. I am officially resigning from adulthood. And if you want to discuss this with me further, you'll have to catch me <br>cause........ <br>tag!

I figured since I am upgrading my music and my life, it should reflect my website right? As many of you know, I recently got married to the most beautiful woman in the world,Melissa. Preparing for it took a lot of time away from my music so I haven't been active here but now it's full steam ahead for me. I will have more contests, more photos and of course more music coming in the next couple of months.

I remember being a 6 year old kid in New York. I remember many good things- like the first time I went to the beach on a field trip or the first time I played my sega genesis.I remember bad times like my father being thrown back in jail. The one thing I remember the most is having fun in Mrs. A's 1st grade class. </div>

<span style="color: rgb(68, 68, 68); font-family: Calibri; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22.7199993133545px;"> <br> I would always do an impersonation of Little Richards "Tutti Frutti" and the crowd (my classmates :p) thought it was so cool. That's when I knew I wanted to perform. Granted, I had no clue what I was doing, I had only seen one performance on TV and didn't really know the words, but that song unknowingly helped shaped who I am and who I want to be. It was the foundation for who I am today.</span>

This is the reason why many of them are in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. That first inspirational song snowballed into creating an outstanding performer. When I hear that companies like Pandora and Spotify are not paying royalties to songs recorded before 1972, I get a little disturbed.<b style="line-height: 22.7199993133545px;"> 60 million</b> dollars have been taken away from these artist from 2013 alone.<br style="line-height: 22.7199993133545px;"><br style="line-height: 22.7199993133545px;"> This is why I am promoting <a contents="project-72.org" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="http://www.project-72.org" target="_blank">project-72.org</a>. Please visit the website for more information and contact your representative, like I have, to pass the Respect Act. This will be one step closer to protecting and appreciating the music all around.

Here's a little info on Chris:<br><br><br>
Born and raised in Marin County, CA., Chris had drum sticks in his hands at age 4. Drumming has been Chris’ life since his first rock band at age 16. Since then he has played numerous gigs with bands like Cowboys and Angels, Villan, and recently Honey DeLune. Chris still has a rock style with a funky edge. Influences include John Bonham ( Led Zeppelin) , Carter Buford ( Dave Mathews Band), and Stewart Copeland (The Police).<br><br>
