How Sez Sees It

I can't quite remember the first time I saw Wil Francis and Aiden in Kerrang Magazine. It was a few years back. I know it was round about the time I first started buying it regularly. It was actually Green Day that hooked me in to reading the mag regularly when they graced the cover in January 2005. I had recently re-discovered my love of that band and wanted to reconnect with that world I guess. Still, I was reading regularly and this moody, grainy, black and white image of Wil Francis appeared in the pages. I don't even know who the photographer was, but the moodiness of the shot was amazing. Everything, from the cigarette to his clothes, his hair and his tattoos just drew my eye. I had already got into Aiden for their music, but for some reason this shot just drew me in even further. I can't really explain the way I felt looking at that picture. Well a couple of years down the line and we get to the way Kerrang ruined my life. Already an avid reader I turned the page...

I was feeling down lately so I thought I would try coming off of Twitter. I know what you are going to ask...how down? Then, why twitter? Well for about as long as I can remember I have had periods of real lows. I don't just mean feeling a little down in the dumps, I mean full on I could throw myself in front of a bus moments. This got worse (through reasons that don't need discussing here) and became full on depression about 6 years ago. I dealt with the worst of it, but it comes and goes in bouts. Now for the reason why Twitter as opposed to Facebook or Tumblr or some other social networking site. Facebook has a lot of family and close friends on it. People who I care about and who deeply care about me. They would notice if I wasn't around. Plus, I like talking to people on there. The messages can be as long or as short as you like and my personal experience is generally a good one on that website. Then there is Tumblr. That website is just a crazy world full of fando...
