In honor of Mr. Manson's birthday, I have taken Krystal off as a friend on Facebook.  Will I add her again?  Perhaps.  Down the line maybe.  Once she takes my name off of hers then maybe I'll consider it.  We still both do shit subtly in order to hurt each other.  Until that is history and we are both neutral - things will not work out. That's just the way the world works. Happy Birthday Brian Warner.  Thank you for all the wonderful things you have brought me over the years.  Thank you for filling me with direction when I was full of teenage rage and angst as a youth.  Thank you for getting me through my parents divorce when the whole world seemed black.  Thank you for showing me the million directions the world can take you in my college years as you experimented with various elements of yourself.  Thank you for turning me into the man I needed to be in the early 2000's as I became married and most importantly thank you for your love and guidance through the darkest time in my life, my own divorce.  For the praise does not end there.  Thank you for The Pale Emperor as well.  You have given me the guidance and perseverance needed to get through alcohol addiction. Music is the soul of my experience.  Marilyn Manson, specifically the lyrical content of Brian Warner has helped guide me through my life since I was an early teenager and through my adult life.  I appreciate everything this man has done, and have thoroughly enjoyed it the entire time. Once again, I hope Brian Warner gets to make the day his.  He's an artist eons ahead of his time.  As with so many other great artists, during one of the best decades in music, the 90s.   █
