Frequently Asked Questions:

Q. What makes you think your opinions are any better than anybody else's?

A. I don't think my opinions are better than anybody else's, but opinions are different. It's what defines them. I'm just trying to give mine a louder voice. It's not "See the right way to think?" It's more like "LOOK at this! I love this stuff and I want to share it with someone!"

Q. Where do you get your info? How reliable are your sources?

A. If I'm not sure about something, I'll let you know. I'll never post my own speculations, or those of others as fact on this site. I try to get my stuff from official sites or books, CD's. None of this is some teeny BS I heard enough times to consider it fact. If you doubt anything, mail me and I'll clear it up as best I can.

Q. Are you a musician?

A. Uh... Hmmm... Kind of. I'm a singer. I'm testing out my songwriting skills. I'm learning to play the guitar. Someday I very sincerely hope to be.

Q. Where can I hear you sing?

A. I'm working on some better quality soundfiles, but there are a couple at https://twoblueflames.tripod.com/twoblueflames/ (You can just click the link if you go to "About Me")

Q. You like HANSON???

A. No. I don't like Hanson. I'm madly, passionately, dangerously, psychotically, obsessively in absolute LOVE with them, their music, and everything they do. Feel better now? I know I do. :D

Q. AND you like Manson???

A. Indeed.

Q. How did you get such a schizophrenic taste in music?

A. Well, I grew up on 60's and 70's rock mostly. That was my dad's music. I didn't fully appreciate it till I was a teenager. My mother loved oldies. The Supremes, the Jackson 5, The Platters, etc. I had a Michael Jackson phase when I was about 10. When I was 11, I discovered Mariah Carey and started molding my voice after her. By the time I was 14, I listened to strictly pop, but as I got into high school, life changed a lot and I found myself seeking out darker, more complex, more raw and real music, so that's how I eased into heavy rock. I've always liked soul and sometimes rap just grabs me in a way nothing else does. Hanson is just a phenomenal band, period, and I've always thought so, since the first time I heard "Mmmbop".

Q. What is the point in all this?

A. I guess the site is kind of like an E-Zine. We'll see how well I can keep up with it and add stuff. I don't know yet. I'm just following where it leads me.

Q. Are you on drugs?

A. *grin* Not anymore...

Q. Do you suffer from a chemical imbalance?

A. Uh... I don't think so. You might have to check back with me on that one though. I actually prefer terms like "crazy", "wacko", "insane", "freak", "weirdo", "spazz", and "psycho" over euphemisms and technical terms. ;)

Q. Why do you bitch so much?

A. I dunno... Because I'm good at it?

Q. Do you know Hanson? (Lots of Fansons ask me this because Hanson lives in the beautiful city of Tulsa and so do I)

A. I'd love to say I live next door to them and my little brother mows their lawn and Isaac's teaching me guitar, but nope. I found out about them when "Mmmbop" came out, just like everybody else. I have friends who have stories, but I have (QUITE unfortunately) not yet had the pleasure of meeting them. They don't come out in public anymore even when they ARE home due to the understandable fear of being mauled by crowds.

Q. Can I send you a review / article / editorial / song / poem I wrote?

A. ABSOLUTELY!!! Send artwork and anything else you want too. But let me know whether or not it's okay to publish it on my site and gimme all your info (name, age, location, etc) and anything else you want me to put up with it.

Q. If I send you mp3's of me singing / playing, will you put them up here?

A. YES! And send me any other info on yourself that you would like to go with it, especially pictures. I would LOVE to have your soundfiles! Email me!

Q. How can I get in touch with you?

A. Check out the "About Me" section. You'll find my email address (It's a link too, in case you're lazy like me). I also have a guestbook and a message board (on the "Guest Book and Forum" page) and you can find me there. I'm also on AIM, Yahoo, and MSN, but one jackass has caused me to be hesitant about giving out my ID's in public, so you'll just have to email me for it. ;)
