My name is Tad, I am 25 years old, and I love to read and write. I write mostly poems, and I mean what I write. I feel that poetry should be INFUSED with emotion. No rules, no regulations, just pure, uncontrolled emotion. Wild and untameable. Yeah! Check out my facebook or whatnot, but most of all read my work. I know you will like at least one of them. And remember, you're beautiful. :)

Check out my uncle's band In Ship Down! They are getting big very quickly, and they have an AWESOME rock n roll sound: http://www.reverbnation.com/inshipdown

I pretty much listen to any genre of music except screamo and dubstep. Cannot STAND that stuff. Other than writing, I play video games a lot. Really into Diablo 3, Mass Effect, Legend Of Zelda, Mario, Dead Space, Halo, CoD sucks ass so don't bother me with that or battlefield. Also into the Elder Scrolls games, Final Fantasy(VIII is my favorite), Kingdom Hearts, Donkey Kong, OLD SCHOOL Megaman, that new crap sucks. Dragon Age kicks ass, loved the old Gauntlet games... Where did THAT franchise go??? Old school Sonic, Uhhmmmmm.... Video games kick ass.

Loves me some television as well. Usually just watch WWE and some Comedy Central shows, though. Tosh, Workaholics, South Park, Family Guy is the shit. American Dad, Cleveland Show, Breaking Bad kicks ass... DEXTER is by far my favorite! Also enjoy some Adventure Time, Through the Wormhole With Morgan Freeman, The Universe, Blue Planet, Walking with Dinosaurs... Basically anything that entertains my brain for more than 5 minutes... That's about it! If you read this far... Well, you are a trooper.

Alright guys, my novel is coming along nicely. If you like magic and dragons and all that fantastical stuff, head over to "The Cranthos Chronicles" and check it out. Lots of fantasy, LOTS of action. Plus, it has a psychotic blood mage that those of you with a twisted sense of humor(like yours truly) will absolutely adore! so far, it's only 14 pages so that will give you guys the start. Hopefully you like it and will keep reading as I keep writing! Now, the third part is only at the beginning, so don't be mad at me. Had to leave ya with that cliffhanger for now!

Updated my short story "The Warians". It's about a race of intensely violent lizard like aliens. Political intrigue, action and even some sci-fi and space travel. Go check it out if you like those kind of stories! The first part is called Chaos Makes Life, and the second part is called A Brave New Waros. Now, the second part is only just begun. Stick around to see what's on the other side of the planet of Waros!!!

I admire what you write about and your idea of what writing IS about. You're someone worth "following." There isn't much for words on my part. Simply, I think you have the right idea. And that is not just limited to your writing, that I can tell.

I like your emotional application on your literature; it shows who you are. Cool and nothing more to say. Keep it up.

@AlyssaRiveiro My uncle is the rhythm guitarist. He also does back up vocals sometimes and he writes most of the songs. He's really talented. Could play any instrument, really. Thanks for checking them out! Get the word out about those guys! They will be the next big thing in rock n roll!!!
