My name is Raymond Montes.  I live in Hollywood, California, and I have for the last 3 years.  It's been crazy living out here, living the lifestyle that I live every single day.  You have to deal with the occasional wingnut, drunks, tweakers, and even the occasional wannabe gangster.  Well, it's kind of like you're living in a wasteland full of rats looking for the next big cheese.  Other than that, I live a normal life, without too much abandon, and I really don't have that many problems.  My girlfriend is in jail, and she is pregnant with my kid.  How awkward is that?

Now, one of my biggest passions is music and video games.  Put those together and you have one awesome day of life if you know what I mean.  Not only that, I love to hear other people's music and that is my little secret that I hold.  Why?  Because I implement some of their musical talent into mine.  Everyone has their own way of making music, and I understand that.  However, if you are able to copy that music in your own way, you can make just about anything possible in the world of music.  Many people of our time have shown that.  From the likes of Avenged Sevenfold, Dream Theater, Nighwish, Linkin Park, and so many others.  They took their time to make some of the world's most enjoyable music, and now so many people know them for not just their lyrics, but for their art of music.  It's one thing to make music.  It's another to make art out of music.  

However, my life wasn't easy growing up at all in any sense.  I lost my parents when I was 5 years old to a car accident.  It still haunts me to this day.  Not a day goes by when I see the accident flash before me in nightmares every night.  I have 14 sisters and no brothers which is amazing in itself.  Here's the crazier part of the matter though.  Im a triplet.  Yep, Im a squiggling triplet with two other sisters who look nothing like me.  Except for the fact, we all have the same hair.  I was sent to group homes and foster homes from the age of 5-17 years of age, and it was terribly retarded in the sense that noone could handle me because of my ADHD (Attention Defecit Hyperactive Disorder).  Not only that, but I got into alot of fights that were senseless, just because I wanted something that wasn't mine.  Well goes to show that after years of being brought up as the survivor, Im now THE LEADER and I love it.  People come to me with their family problems, relationship problems, kid problems, anger problems, and even their sex problems.  It was like I was the angel for so many people who don't even care to notice.  It's not bad, but it will be fine in a couple of years, who knows.

My goal for this year is to make sure that I don't get myself into trouble.  Not only that but to make sure that I keep my head straight on the narrow path.  Even through it will be hard, I know that only God can judge me and that I can trust in him when I need the most help.  I believe that everyone is destined for greatness.  The only thing is that we may never know what our destiny is until we let everything come to us, and we stop chasing it.
