Ronnie Radke vs. Craig Mabbitt


In June 2008, Ronnie Radke(pictured on the right), the lead singer of Escape The Fate was thrown into prison for his use of drugs and his charges for assault during his events in 2006 for a shoot off with another man. Following him getting thrown in prison, the rest of his band kicked him out and replaced him with former Blessthefall singer, Craig Mabbitt(pictured on the left).
Radke's band members had tried to reconcile with him, but he just didn't seem interested in getting back on good terms with them. Because of him not wanting to do so, Escape The Fate had decided to tells lies about him that he had gotten caught in prison with herion. The new album of his former band was called "This War Is Ours".  Coincidence? Maybe. Escape The Fate had said it wasn't because of Radke, but it could be true that it is about him.
While Radke was in prison, he contacted a friend of his, who helped him set up a new band called Falling In Reverse- and they released a demo while he was still in prison in 2009. People were surprised to see that Radke was still on top of his game and writing lyrics for his new band(Some of his fans who still wrote him while he was in prison put him in good enough spirits to continue with his rock and roll search).
In 2011, after Radke was released from prison he headed to Florida, and they recorded Falling In Reverse's new album called "The Drug In Me Is You," which was released in July on the 15th.
His fighting with Escape The Fate started to get worse as Radke climbed to the top of the rock charts. Craig and Escape The Fate had literally got so low as to trash him by going online, and talking trash with friends from You Me At Six. Radke fed it by taking it onto twitter, and talking smack to Craig. It became a nasty fight to the point where Escape The Fate fans couldn't be around Falling In Reverse because it would just end up turning into fights.. or that some Escape The Fate fans would end up going to a Falling In Reverse concerts, and beating the fans of Falling In Reverse up and Radke would have to get involved by having security throw them out.
Finally Radke had enough of this feuding, and emailed Mabbitt and told him that this needs to stop. So they started talking in person, and decided to end this feud between their two bands. After about two weeks, they decided "Hey! Lets surprise everyone and start a tour together!" This announcement occurred on October 28th, shocking many fans. The tour is called "Bury The Hatchet" and stars both bands, supported by Chelsea Grin.

Favorite Team

My favorite team is the Minnesota Wild. I've been a fan sense I was a little kid and I used to sit in front of the television when I was a kid, and watch them skate around the ice and cheer when they scored.
My favorite players used to be apart of the older team before they were traded- It was Brain Rolston, and Derek Boogaard(who died because of drug overdose). They were definitely some of the best the Wild had ever been.
My parents used to be season ticket holders, and we would go five times per year and we would sit right behind the goalie. I usually end up watching it on the television with my parents. The energy it gives me from watching it makes me shiver and extremely happy to be apart of Minnesota.

Favorite Work of Art

My favorite piece of art would have to be this concert I went to back in December on the 3rd. It was a Friday evening, and I had gone home with three of my friends, and we started to get ready for the show. We left almost two hours early so we could wait in line and find our seats. We had to separate because two of us had upper seats, and the other ones were on the bottom floor. People of course didn't start showing up until after Black Veil Brides, and me and the friend I was with were pumped already. All of these bands were my favorite back in 10th grade, so I was just thankful to be there.
Black Veil Brides had performed amazingly, Asking Alexandria wasn't to good at this time because all of them were drunk and didn't really care about their jobs. Hollywood Undead was good, but they could of done better. The way Avenged Sevenfold started their show with the beginning of "Nightmare," and came out and fire shot everywhere and fireworks. It was the most amazing rock show I have ever attended in my life.

Reviewing Blogs

Good Blog:
This blog is about everything that relates to the music scene of rock and metal music. I enjoy reading articles and things about band members from some of my favorite bands. Its also a magazine, which I order regularly from Barnes & Nobles. Most members of bands open up to AP, knowing that they don't lie.

Bad Blog:
ChristWire
This blog is terrible. I'm not hating on it because its a religion website, im hating on it because their so judge mental on everything they blog about. Even if its from bands, to other things that don't really need attention to. Its just a horrible website.

Influential People


    1. Number 1 would have to be Danny Worsnop, the lead vocalist of Asking Alexandria. Without his music, I wouldn't be able to go on through my day- or be happy all the time. His lyrics put me in a better mood when im feeling down because he knows how to say things some people can't even have the balls to say. He's also very influential when it comes to kicking drug problems, he went into rehab for his alcohol abuse and kicked the habit for around 3 months but began drinking again- but he knows how to handle it better now. He also inspires me by going for his dreams, from being in a Walmart parking lot in Los Angeles, to becoming one of the most well known metal singers in the world.
2.  Number two would have to be Andy Biersack from Black Veil Brides, his music was the one thing
that changed my life over from being a girl who listened to country and dramatically changed over to listening to metal. Without his music, I wouldn't have been able to survive my middle school year with all the bulling and such. I've met him in person before, and I couldn't even form words when he smiled at me. Waiting those two hours in line was the best decision I have ever made when being at a concert. The whole band signed a bandana for me, and I have it framed and hanging on my wall at home.






3. Number 3 would have to be Austin Carlile from Of Mice & Men. His lyrics are definitely those of one who has been in pain, and he makes them sound so wonderful coming from his vocal chords. He is definitely inspirational for what he does for his fans. This one story, about this girl who had cancer.. She was sick, and her dying wish was to meet Austin Carlile. He flew out there to meet her, signed a bunch of her merchandise. When she died a few days later, he attended her funeral and got her name tattooed across his knee.









4. Number four is Mitch Lucker from Suicide Silence. He made sure to live life to its fullest, and make people smile. Most of the other fellow band-members(pictured above) said he was down to earth, and really took care of his daughter and his family. His life was taken tragically on November 1st, 2012 from him crashing into a light post on his motorcycle. His music will forever go on, and he died a legend of metal music.


5. Number five would have to be Spike Zombie. She is a model for one of my favorite modeling agencies. I admire her because she has amazing hair, and is extremely pretty. I've met her in person when I was vacationing in Florida. I posted a picture on instagram(which she follows me on), and she asked me for my number.. we traded numbers and she called me asking what day would be a good time for us to hangout- so we went to the beach, took Renegade(her dog) and went swimming. She told me all about her life, because she trusted me.. and its really sad all that she went through. I still talk to her once in awhile, I just wish I could really be there for her. She's a sweetheart.


Zombie Apocalypse

If I were in the Zombie Apocalypse, I would make sure to find all the hidden guns and weapons in my Uncle's home, and make sure all of my family- and the people that I care about where in one house in order for me to protect them. I would keep them in the basement in order for them to be safe. I would carry a sword around with me, in order to decapitate their heads and make my family members wear there dead bodies as capes in order to disguise their scent with ones of zombies. (Even as gross as that sounds).

Favorite Song



[Danny:]
Incompetent son of a bitch,
Keep your tongue tight.
Cut your losses.
You're on thin ice, so tread light.
I don't wanna listen to your "he said, she said" shit.
Keep your mouth shut and listen motherfucker.
I can't stand this,
It was never meant to be so hard.
Satisfaction was supposed to come and ease my heart.

I don't feel this anymore I need to get away.
All the love in my heart can't even find a way.

These words they fall off my tongue like a poison.
I hope they kill you all,
I hope I never see your faces again.
I see your faces again.
Yeah
I wanna watch the whole world,
I wanna watch the whole world burn down, burn down.
I wanna watch the world burn,
I wanna watch the whole world burn down, burn down.

I won't pretend I'm not disgusted with everything you are.
I won't deny that I'm revolted by everything you say you stand for.
Where do I go?
What do I say?
Where do I draw the line?
Can I move on?
Can I let go before I lose my mind?
Am I alone after everything we've suffered through?
Feels though what once was us has dwindled down to me and you.

[Ben Bruce:]
I wanna watch the whole world,
I wanna watch the whole world burn down, burn down.
I wanna watch the whole world,
I wanna watch the whole world burn down, burn down.

[Danny:]
These words they fall off my tongue like a poison.
I hope they kill you all,
I hope I never see your faces again.
I see your faces again.
Yeah
I wanna watch the whole world,
I wanna watch the whole world burn down, burn down.
I wanna watch the world burn,
I wanna watch the whole world burn down, burn down.

(I wanna watch the whole world,
I wanna watch the whole world burn down, burn down.
I wanna watch the world burn,
I wanna watch the whole world burn down, burn down.)




This song is all about the hatred towards some people, and how much poison they can really cause in your life. Some people you add to your life usually end up screwing you over until you find the ones who are really there for you and won't use you for your money or what you have in life. Life isn't supposed to be this hard, but it definitely is. Only the extremely strong ones can make it, without having those demons added in. I like this song because it makes me feel happy that im not the only one who has issues with trusting others, and just... metal in general.

Keep Calm, Metal On. \m/

Remodeling Cars

This truck is a Chevrolet Avalanche, Black Diamond Edition. They can be very spend y vehicles. My family actually owns one of them, but there are some changes I woud like to make to it- Even though its already a beautiful truck.
If I could remodel this truck, I would add more lift to it, change the wheels to having spinners and have a bit of volume to the pipes when driving faster.

Dream House

My dream house would have to be someplace warm, were the only thing that should be needed is air conditioner and not heat. The dream location would have to be somewhere in California along the coast close to LA preferably.
I would want to at least have 3 bathrooms, 4 bedrooms. The backyard would have a pool(part of the deck) that would go down to at least 10ft. There would be couches around the side with a bonfire pit in the middle of it.
The beach would be down a bit of the way with a dock for night time star gazing.
I've always wanted to live in a place warmer than Minnesota, where snow just seems like a distant memory and be able to soak up the sun and relax in paradise. California has always been my dream and im hoping I can be living my dream someday.

Pets

I've always wanted a Pembroke Welsh Corgi, they may be small.. but they can herd like nobody's business.
They are beautiful colors, they can be many different colors(like the one shown in the picture). They can range from orangish-white, to being blue and multi-colored. Everything about this dog is adorable, its pointy ears, small legs, stubby looking tail.
I fell in love this with this breed a dog, not only because my favorite vocalist owns two of them, because I've played with some at the shelter, and I just wanted to take them all home.
To take care of this pet, I would need general supplies such as
-Food
-Collar
-Leash
-A kennel(for when moving the dog around)
-A dog bed

When your training dogs, you should maybe get a potty patch so that they will learn to go to the bathroom on grass, and not in your home. Dog treats should be rewarded if they do their business in the right place.

Political Cartoon

This political cartoon is displaying that the federal government continues to let immigrants in even though we cannot even feed our own people, or help our own. Federal government doesn't seem to do their job, and state officials are trying to make an effort. Immigrants are the main population of the United States now, making us who were already here a minority group.

Crime Investigation

Bullying is a typical active in all schools around the United States of America. Typical things like giving kids wedgies, shoving them into lockers, and calling others names.
With modern day technology, cyberbullying is becoming a popular way to bully people because its an easier way to go after someone instead of just doing it face-to-face.
Rebecca Sedwick of Winter Haven, Florida, is a victim to cyberbullying. She was a 14-year-old girl, who was bullied into suicide. These girls were calling her names, and telling her to "drink bleach and die." One of them being her so called 'best friend'. When she committed suicide, she climbed to the top of the tower at an abandon concrete plant, and hurled herself to suicide. The two girls who did bully her said, "I don't care that she committed suicide."

This generation, honestly is getting more and more pathetic. Bullying is not okay for one thing, but going online and making someone feel like they mean nothing world so they go and kill themselves? You need to rethink your life if your making someone feel that way, they have feelings- just like you do. No one is emotionless, some people just hide it better then others.

The Worst Movie

The worst movie I have ever seen is Sharktopus. I honestly really regret spending the hour and a half watching this movie on one of my days off. Its about the US navy, who create a combat animal that is half shark, and half octopus. The Sharktopus ends up breaking free of the Navy's clutches, and begins to feed off humans on the beach.
The movie is absolutely terrible, the graphics make everything look really fake(picture of the Sharktopus to the left). It would have been way more disturbing if it would have looked more realistic like in the previews for the movie. The acting was really fake as well, it was stereotypical faking that they were actually really terrified of the creature. If I were to give this movie a rating, I would give it zero out of five. This movie isn't worth the 89 minutes of life. Seriously, don't watch it.

The Week Off of Break

Having a sleepover with friends is always a classic favorite of teenage girls. The stereotypical ideal of a sleepover is girls talking about boys, painting nails, and hitting each other with pillows. With my friends, its a different type of hangout. Having four teenage girls stuck in a basement with snacks, and a flat-screen TV is a lot of fun. It started out as us just being bored and watching some Family Guy, until someone suggested the idea of going down to Hudson, WI. We drove to Hudson and parked and just walked around down by the water and ended up going hard on trying to drench each other, and whoever was the most drenched would sleep in the disturbingly haunted room that was in the basement off to the side.
Once we got back to her house in Lakeland, someone suggested that we watch Ghost Hunters and play Uno. Once we got sick of playing Uno- we darkened the whole room and all laid down on the couch to watch Ghost Hunters- Not much happened after that besides falling asleep, and then not waking up to 2 in the afternoon.
The week off wasn't very fun, but we tried making the best of it.
