I (wildlifer22/winner #1 of "The Truth Is...", new CD of the #1 Band on the Planet, Theory of a Deadman) would like to congratulate Jackie and Lucas (winners 2 & 3). You are my NEW kindred spirits, my fellow brother and sister in CHRIST (Club Honoring Radically Iconic Sexy/Soulful Tyler/TOAD). Sounds like TOAD has saved us all, in one way or another. Glad to share this ride with you!! BTW....any of you out there had to send your kids off to college? It's a fuckin' killer! Let me back up here, these past few days have, in and of themselves, been a killer ride. Any of you been to Lafayette, Indiana? If you haven't, let me just put it this way....I tell people I don't have to worry about GOING to Hell, I already LIVE there. Soooo... Early Monday morning, I ascended from Hell (Lafayette) and journeyed to Bloomington (Indiana University campus), getting my daughter ready for her transition from home to college. It was a fucking rollercoaster of emotions. They say choosing to have a child is choosing to have your heart walk forever outside your body. BELIEVE IT!! Harder yet, wait til they leave!! I know they meant the aforementioned FIGURATIVELY, but I'm not so sure. When I drop her off, 8/21/11, I will become the FIRST PERSON EVER to live without her heart!!! She'll be taking it with her!! I know, I know. Overly dramatic? Look, I'm an artist/writer. We tend to be emotionally hyper-sensitive. I tend to thrive on the tragic (in books, movies, songs)....I do my best writing when I'm at my lowest. Good thing....since that's where I always tend to be. That damn Aesop, getting our hopes up with happy endings....there's no such thing!!! My whole ride home I was singing Theory's new song, "Head Above Water"...."you pray to God the moment when you feel the current pull you in...trying to keep your head above water has never been harder, even when it feels hopeless, you're gonna get through this....keep your head above water, gotta fight from goin' under, even when it feels useless to wish, you're gonna get through this...." Like I said, TOAD always seems to sing what's in my soul already. Well, fortunately my ride ended on the upswing, getting home to find out I had won TOAD's new CD!!! They never cease to amaze me!! They saved me then.....they saved me now.....I love you, TOAD!!! P.S. This will be the 2nd edition of The Guinness Book of World Records that I have appeared in (this time for being the 1st person to live without a heart).... the first time I was in it was for being the youngest person to give birth/and the youngest immaculate conception... I was only 5 years old when I had my daughter.....oh yeah, and it's a damn good thing I get to see Theory again 8/17 (and be backstage) because hopefully my HIGH from my "Theory Fix" will last until I drop my daughter off 8/21....

Thanks wildlifer ! Your life seems a full of emotion and you must be proud like you are. by the way ,i have a a daughter too

I want to do the same for you.and i'm sorry you are having to leave your daughter at college! but remember she always loves you and she will take care of your heart!Can't wait for the record!!! I have a little sister, but she's only 3. no kids of my own

Hi I know this post was directed towards specific people but I feel like this could be a safe place to say something I wanted to put in my post for the CD contest but was to afraide to in simply because I did'nt want to laughed at. So hear it goes... I'm naturaly a very shy person taking risk scares the heck out of me I don't even like posting things on the internet in the fear of being laughed at or mocked now in my case this is really bad because my goal in life is to an artist an illustrator to be precise. In the winter of 2009 I was in the process of applying for college when I got the chase to meet Theory at an autograph signing in Ottawa my father convinced me to bring a portrait of Tyler that I had painted. Now the whole time I was waiting I was scared to death that he would hate or think I was some kind of stalker when Tyler and the guys arived to my delight he liked it signing the bigest space he could find he saide he no one had ever done that before. There was a short conversation exchanged and I moved so the next person could have a turn. It was because of that conversation and the fact that he liked my painting that I was able to muster up the curage to acept my aceptanc to callege. So I just wanted to say thank you for giveing me the courage to take such a bing chance like going to college.

Also I just relized I made a mistake in my post for the contest I saide the meet & greet was in 2008 but it was 2009 it's mistakes like that that freek me out .

Thank you
