Just a Portland Oregon Kid!

Unread postby Plooky » 10 Sep 2013 01:44

Hello all!

my name is Ashton, I'm from and I currently reside in portland Oregon! I'm seventeen years old, and am a Sick Puppy of almost 3 years. I first saw them in 2011, where I met the band and got their "Free Hugs" wrist band. ever since then, I've worn it nearly every day, from when I get out of the shower to when I go to bed. I recently saw them in Eugene, Oregon, and got 9 autographs, a new T-Shirt and a photo with the band. Sick Puppies is my favorite band, and they mean so much to me.

I'm a very nice guy. I'm very accepting of others, and I love to help others. I'm an Atheist, but am totally respecting of other beliefs. I never get angry, and I'm a fairly positive person. I don't believe in violence, but I do believe in defending others. Everyone is a friend of mine until they give me a reason not to be! I LOVE people, and I believe that everyone has good in them, no matter how little it shows. :)

I grew up picked on quite a bit, being called fat, ugly, retarded, gay, and any other "insult" under the sun. I forgive those who did that to me though, because I'd prefer to live life without anger. In fact, I've ended up making friends with some of those people. I guess most people would use bullying as a reason to be angry at the world, but the way I see it, when I'm on my death bed, I'd rather be laying there, knowing I haven't left a knife in someone's back.

All of that said, I still don't have many friends. Even when I stopped giving people a reason to pick on me, I was, and still am, a lonely person. That said, I love the friends I have. They've seen me at my all time low, and they've seen me at my highest point. They've helped shape who I am, and I am, beyond my death bed, grateful for them.

I play guitar, drums, bass and piano and I sing. I write my own music, too! As weird as it sounds though, it's for a Metal band! Although Sick Puppies is my favorite band, I am mainly a metal head, but no band could get in the way of the Puppies for me! I'm currently the Drummer for A World Without, and am trying to start up a band as a vocalist.

Other bands I like are Three Days Grace, D.R.U.G.S, The Devil Wears Prada, Metallica, Asking Alexandria, Get Scared, Whitechapel, Chelsea Grin, Attack Attack!, As I Lay Dying, The Ghost Inside, Breathe Carolina and I See Stars. Like I said, I know it's weird, but I'm primarily a metalhead! haha!

I LOVE to play video games, retro and modern. My favorite video game series' are The Legend of Zelda, Mario, and Pokemon. I love every genre of gaming, but for some I'm pickier than others. And if you couldn't tell, I'm a Nintendo gamer for the most part! :P

Life is too short to worry about the little things, so live life to the fullest! Thank you so much for reading about me (not that I'm very interesting xD)!

I may have incredibly low confidence, but I'm happy knowing that I'm putting this onto a community where I can make friends. :)

-An Average Seventeen Year Old,
Ashton Verburg

Welcome to the Crew, Ashton! :hug: I saw the pups at Hawthorne in 2011 too, what a great show! (It's not very often that I come across other Oregon babies on here, so this is exciting for me :biggrin: )

Hey Ashton, I had a question...Aren't you on ghost mine? I saw you the other day and I honestly have to say that you are really cute :3 but if that's not you then this is really awkward! D:
