This is a really good site. I love the videos and the jukebox. Would love more songs to tune into when I am online but all in all this is a good place that will get better.

I definitely like the people here. I see many people here because the message of the music speaks to our inner turmoil and struggles. Nothing like being around like minded people. The people here are kind and non-judgmental which I really like.

I watched Aaron perform "Comfortably Numb" at the The Mud Island Amphitheater about two years ago. He did an awesome job. I was so anxious for him to come out. Not that I didn't enjoy Breaking Benjamen and the other bands opening. But I was there to see Staind and I got a great night of music out of the deal.

I sure wish my son was still here. I miss going to concerts with him. Hell, I just miss my son. Living without him and managing the grief and guilt is hard. That is why Staind touches me. It is bittersweet I will have to admit. I know my son would have loved them.

So here I am, a mom without a son. There are not a lot of people my age that listen to alternative music. What a shame. I use to be a DJ. I had no talent of my own musically so I thought that would be the closest I could get. It was fun but the 80's music sucked for the most part.

Yeah, I sure miss my son. I guess he is catching the great music up there. Probably some kick ass concerts wherever they are in the afterlife.

I have to thank Aaron for helping me understand things a lot more than I did. Of course sometimes it is hard because I know I made a lot of mistakes. I didn't know any better and I know my son knew at the end that I loved him and did the best I could with what I had. I thank God he faced his demons and we got a lot of the crap out of the way before he relapsed and then was gone.

So thanks Aaron and the band. I feel like I am listening to my son a lot of the time when I listen to your music. You have no idea how much that means to me...
