Sweet Jesus
I Can Do All Things In Him Who Strengthens Me

Philippians 4:13
2/10/08

Today, I just sat and played for hours and felt that freedom I so treasure, It still moves me that others feel It too! I Love music now more than ever. I
didn't choose music as my career, I believe music chose me. It's my passion, my fire within. I never had a backup plan in life, just in case music
didn't work out. I believe by having a backup plan, your telling yourself subconsciously that you're not going to succeed. If It doesn't work out for you,
you make It work! The biggest risk in life is not taking one.

As a child my mama taught me to dream, but also to chase my dreams and to believe in myself, as we all should. I remember laying in the grass
staring at the clouds, going to the school yard at night, swinging on the swings, trying to spell my name out of the stars. I would go down to the beach
(The Seawall) and literally watch sunset turn into sunrise.

Through the life I have lived, I have learned so much, every decision and mistake, I made on my own.I don't regret anything that has happened in my
life, It all was a learning experience and made me who I am today.

In this world there is no such thing as good luck or bad luck, we make our own. I believe we all have a gift inside of us and once you find that gift, and
what you do with that gift, is how you payback the ones who gave the gift to you.

Most of the time when I'm writing music, It just comes out of me. I hear music in my minds ear, when I see children playing, watching leaves blow
down the street or staring at the ocean. There's a orchestra going the whole time in my head.

I believe I can make the angels sing with my music and I hear one voice all the time. Thank you, you're always on my shoulder.

When my mother died in my arms, It was one of the coldest nights in my life, years later I realized that it's not another day that I'm living without my
mama, it's another day that I'm getting closer to rejoice with her! When she died in my arms, she put me in touch with heaven.

I have traveled this world extensively and made so many friends, I'm thankful for the friends I have, for they are real and true friends.

I guess what I'm saying is that my music is about life, the good and the bad. Try not to forget the bad times because some good can come out of It.
Hard times don't last, strong people do!

Today I stand and I stand strong and tall! I feel stronger than life itself. We weren't put on this planet to be not happy, we all should be happy and live
life to the fullest. Not many people understand my way of living, very few do and you know who you people are. I roll the dice everyday in my life. I will
take a risk in a heart beat in life. I didn't ask for the hand of cards, God dealt me, but one thing is for sure, I Love my hand!

To all my fans around this world, I Love you deeply and It touches me that my music touches you. We have a special bond and I feel so blessed for
that!

I Love you all & God Bless

Today, is a very special day to me. My angel from up above would of been 72. I sit here and try to think of what my mama would
looked like or where would she be in life. I really don't know the answer to that. I do know, she was the best damn woman on the
face of this earth. A woman, who was stronger than life, a woman who had a passion to live life and help others. A woman who
never judged anyone. She cared for strangers and loved to help others. She was a very intelligent woman, strong, loving, caring
and her faith, was as strong as the heavens above. Also, she played her ass off on a piano. The times we played duets
together, in our living room, are the most precious memories I have. Because we had a connection through our music. We
communicated through our music.

I miss her dearly. She was my mother but also my best friend. Someone I could say anything to, even if it was wrong or hurtful,
she understood me. She always made me feel that, playing music and making a career out of music, was the only thing I should
do. It blows my mind, how short life is, here on this planet. It's fuckin crazy!

My mother had a short life and it used to bother me allot. I was angry at the world for years. Then I realized, I should live the life
my mother never got to live. I have lived a life and seen so much in this world, more than most people could ever dream of, I'm
thankful and grateful for the blessing I have received.

I have been hammered by some heavy blows in life. My friends, fans and my faith picks me up every time. I owe that to my mama
for teaching me to find my inner strength and faith. I said it in the past my mama, brought me up and the road dragged me up!

Today is your day mama, spread your wings and soar through the heavens above. May the angels lead you to paradise as they
gave me you! At this moment I hear the angels singing today and there is a melody circling my mind's ear as I write this. Mama,
Happy Birthday, you're a dream come true!  

Stay strong & stay Gold

John Fowler, an amazing friend, Father & drummer

I went to see John last night. That was fucking hard, to see my friend laying with a million machine hooked up to him and he was wearing his drum
stick necklace, that made me scream and cry. I realized that night my bro is going to a better place soon. John has many many, countless real
friends that were there supporting. I appreciate the good company and support of these friends of Johns. John is a damn good man, father and
drummer. When I left John last night, I said "I fucking love you Johnny" and I kissed my friend! When I held his hand and kissed him, i felt that his
soul has left him already, that his spirit crossed. I told him to say hi to my mama and say hi to his dad for me.

This hurts bad and now I’m starting to get a bit angry at this world again. I gotta go now! Thank you for your support and concern. I feel blessed and
lets pray for a miracle!

Love always
Andy

Update on my friend & Drummer,

My friend / drummer is not doing well at all. He has been in acoma for over 48 hours. He has zero brain activity. I’m going to see him tonight with
some of the fellas from the Steelheart family, it doesn't’t look good. I don’t feel like writing anymore at this time.

Love
