EXMORTUS

(Aldo, Mario, Conan, David)

For those of you who personally know me, know that I fucking love Metal Music. This past weekend I interviewed one of my all time favorite Thrash metal band, EXMORTUS! They played at The Slidebar Rock N Roll Cafe in Fullerton, Ca. along with 3 Inches of Blood, Huntress and The Hookers. These guys are very down to earth and super funny. It was an Honor and Privilege to hang out with them for a bit after the show on Dec. 9th 2012. Like always, it was a pleasure to talk to them about future plans and some pretty crazy stories while on tour.  Check out the video...Support your Local Band!

The Grim Reaper



Have you ever seen any of the Final Destination movies? The first movie is about a teenager who "cheats death" after having a premonition of himself and others perishing in a plane explosion and uses it by saving himself and a handful of other passengers, but is continued to be stalked by Death, by claiming back their lives which should have been lost in the plane.










I guess you can say that I've always been able to sense when something strange or wrong is about to happen. Sometimes I get a weird gut feeling, the air and the things around me at times would seem to be still for just a split second (kind of like The Twilight Zone) and then an earthquake would happen or something of the like...

June 9th, 2007 is where it all started for me!

My paternal Grandmother was diagnosed with cancer in late 2006. It was a tough road to recovery after that, with all the doctor visits, chemotherapy and medicine it seemed like there was no avail. It was a regular working day for me. I would usually work in the afternoon on the weekends so on this particular Saturday it was like no other. I had gone to bed pretty early that Friday night, I wanted to get my beauty sleep of course. Not to long after I had gone to bed, I woke up in somewhat of a sweat and with the sense of urgency that I needed to go out. To where I hadn't the slightest idea at the time but that I have to leave my house and with a quickness. As I get up, I'm half asleep searching for some cloths to put on. I see what time it is, it's about 2:30 am. I found some pants, as I put them on I stop myself and ask what am I doing and where am I going to go? I don't have to go to work (thinking I had to go in early) until later so why get up so early. So I decide to go back to bed and sleep some more.

About an hour later my mom comes into my room and says to get dressed, that my grandma had died about an hour ago! I know pretty crazy right, I woke up right around the time she had died. It seemed like my sub-conscience knew she was already gone and it was telling my conscience to go over to her house, pay my respects and say goodbye....

This wouldn't be the last time that something like this would happen to me. Later on that year my maternal Grandfather too, was diagnosed with cancer. Exactly 1 year 1 month 1 day and 1 hour after my grandma died, is when my grandpa lost the battle to cancer. July 10th, 2008 again was a pretty normal day for me. Again for no apparent reason I had trouble sleeping. I kept on tossing and turning, not being able to get a good night's sleep. And in the middle of the night I was awoken by my mom again, to tell me that my grandpa had just died.


Fast forward a few years later...

A neighbor of mine who was pretty close to the family, he had problems with his kidneys. He would go do his dialysis about 3 times a week. Since he has gone to dialysis for many years he had developed what looked like a calluses on his arms, where the needle incisions would be. One night he was feeling pretty bad, he was short of breath, tired and complained about his left arm hurting more then usual. So he called 9-1-1 and the ambulance took him to the hospital. Little did we know he wasn't going to last very long. The next day after he had gone to the hospital, I had gotten an overwhelming sense of sadness. I kept on crying for no reason. So I knew something had to be wrong because it's not like me to cry out of nowhere. I must say it does take alot for me to cry, I'm not one to so much emotion either. I found out that my neighbor had died later on the night when he had gone to the hospital.

Just recently, again for no reason my left arm started to hurt. I would feel a sharp pain around my heart too. It kind of felt like heartburn and was on the verge of a heart attack. I got check by the doctor and everything came back normal but I still had this unbearable pain in my arm. This pain did not last very long, I would say it was only about 3 days. One day my uncle and cousins call my dad to say that they heard some news that something tragic went down at my aunt's (on my dad's side) work and that they think she may have gotten hurt at her job because she wasn't answering her cell phone. So we went down to her job to look for her. Come to find out she was a victim of a Double-Murder Suicide in Torrance, Ca. I found out the reason why my arm was hurting so bad too. She had gotten shot in the heart, mind you. I was feeling exactly what she was going to feel and what she had felt, when she was taken away. The very next night after she died, I know for a fact she visited me when I was in a dreamlike state. The realm from in between the planes of the living and the dead. I felt "someone" touch my legs, and it also felt like there was more then one person too. I believe it was her, my aunt kind of saying telepathically and reassuring me that she's in a safe and better place and that she's with my grandma....

I guess you can say whether it's someone who's apart of my family and/or someone who is close to me, I can sense what they're feeling. A close friend of mine once told me that the gifted can sense when death is near. I can say I agree with her on this. How else can you explain the other incidents that happened around the time when these close loved ones died? And these weren't the only people who I've heard that died, too. There were countless others that I've known who have died but since I wasn't close to them, (if you will) I didn't sense much. All in all, I know that these loved ones are in a better place now, they're not suffering and are looking out for us all.

Stiff as a Board, Light as a Feather



 
Has anyone ever played this game before Stiff as a Board Light as a Feather? (or vice versa) It's from the movie The Craft that came out in the early 90's. I was about 9 years old when I encountered this game at my first slumber party. The rules and regulations are pretty simple:

First off this must be done in the dark to feel the full effects of the "game". You can have a lit candle or night light if you'd like, but I believe it's better in the dark. Everyone must have the desire to lift up the person and believe in the game. And think of seeming less light objects like clouds or iconically a piece of card board, feathers, etc.  

Pick a person to lay down, they will be the one who is lifted off the floor. Have their hands & feet together, and eyes closed.
One person must be at the head of the person laying down. They are going to lead the chant.
Surround the person laying down, place your fingers underneath them. Use no more then two fingers from each hand to lift.      See image above

Once everyone is ready to begin, Chant 5x

"She's looking ill, she's looking worse,
she is dying, she is dead."

Then chant,

"Stiff as a Board, Light as a Feather"  Continuously and then lift up

NOTE: Do not try to lift as you say the chant wait until everyone IS IN SYNC! (9x or so) Then lift up, at this point the person should be extremely light, lift them up Slowly higher and higher until they are at or above your head. You may remove one of your hands but make sure one is always touching the person. Then slowly place them back down onto the floor.     Check out video



Yes, I can attest that I played this game with my classmates at a slumber party. And that it did Work! We lifted every girl at the party just above our head with no more then two fingers. Why did it, I don't really know, I heard it has to do with diamagnetism but hopefully someone will explain it to us one day. I think it's a bit funny that we too were Catholic school girls, some of us were practicing Wicca/Witchcraft and we were beyond scared of the outcome of what was about to happen if and when we played the game...And not to mention we were in elementary school. Ah I do miss the good ol' days of my childhood for somethings you know.

Vitameatavegamin

Happy Halloween Everyone, It's my favorite holiday for sure! :-]
 
I Love Lucy was one of my favorite shows to watch when I was a child growing up. Looking back I watched a lot of old school type TV shows like The Addams Family with John Astin & Carolyn Jones, Batman with Adam West and The Munsters to name a few. Seriously the good ol' classic TV shows that were great to watch at any age......
 
I don't know what is it however for some reason I've always had a problem with my sleep. I used to sleep against the wall, sitting up. Just imagine a 90 degree (right) angle. Yes it was that bad that if I didn't sleep in that position or against something, I wouldn't be able to sleep at all. For that I had my tonsils and adenoids removed when I was 6 years old. Not that removing them would help or anything but I developed insomnia not to long after.
 
On this one particular night I remember I was sleeping pretty peaceful. I don't know why or what woke me up but I did. As I started to open my eyes and get a hold of my vision, I noticed a man floating up in the top corner of my room. He was an older Caucasian  man, he was either bald or had very little hair, he was wearing a nice looking '50s style suit and tie with black shiny shoes but he was entirely in black and white like the picture below...This is definitely a classic I must say!
 
 
 
He was talking and moving his lips but nothing was audible, at least not to me. It kind of felt like he was advertising something. Seemed as if it was a constant continuation and/or repeat of a commercial, outtake or blooper of some sorts. For some reason I got the vibe that he may of had something to do with the "I Love Lucy's Vitameatavegamin" episode. I was for sure scared out of my mind. Shit who wouldn't be? To wake up from your sleep in the middle of the night to find some weird old man floating in your room trying to talk to you. Um, you swear! I didn't get a bad feeling or vibe from this man he wasn't evil or anything but I think, just lost and/or possibly looking for someone to talk to so to speak for that matter.
 
I was too frozen to move, scream or to do anything. But somehow I mustered up enough energy and courage to wake up my younger brother who was in the room with me to see if he himself could see what I was seeing. My brother woke up somewhat disoriented and spooked. I asked him if he saw the man floating in our room to which he said he could and started to scream his little vocal cords out and he ran to our parents room. Not too long after he did that, I soon followed as well. We stayed in their room for the rest of the night as they tried to console us. Looking back on it now, when I was running it seemed like I was looking at myself run from my bed to my parents room. Strange I know, what could it be I have not the slightest clue. I know for a fact I was not dreaming this because I remember waking up in my parents room later on that day. Has something like this happen to you? Share you stories.

Paralysis

Whoever said,
"Keep your Friends close but your Enemies closer..." 

They were NOT lying! Whether it was Michael Corleone, Chinese General Sun Tzu or Italian writer Machiavelli, they were definitely onto something. I wish I had known what was going to happen to me in that sense. I've never met someone who is so conniving and malicious as with this certain individual. I had made a friend at work, he had my back whenever I needed something and vice versa. We had many likes in common and practiced the same religion, so I thought.

It all started on a night when I was having a hard time sleeping. It didn't really bother me as much because I've always had a problem with my sleep but for this particular night it was extremely difficult to go to bed. It had felt like something or someone was trying to divert my sleep somehow. That happened over the next consecutive nights, each night getting harder and harder to stay and fall asleep. I noticed there was a certain weird heavy feeling to the house suddenly. The air specifically in my room was so thick and dense you could cut it with a knife. I definitely felt a presence there just watching my every move.



When I would just barely fall asleep, is when I would feel it start to touch my ankle and leg. I would then wake up in a jolt and with a mini heart attack. I wasn't able to go back to sleep right away. It would take me a couple of hours later to sleep again or not even because I had to get up for work. You have no idea how 'painsackingly frustrating it was for something or someone to disturb your slumber.  I felt drained, listless, tired and besides the obvious deprived of sleep . I was a freaking desolate zombie when you would interact with me. I would come home from work and take 6 hour daily naps if you want to call them that. I felt I had no one to help me nor to confide in with what was happening. As each day progressed, it got worse and worse.

One night where I thought all this madness had stopped, I found myself dreaming of my room. Like all I had done was just lie down, shut my mind off and my spirit was watching myself sleep. Then all of a sudden I feel some pressure all over my body. I felt my arms and upper body being pinned down by a great weight. I tried to wrestle this "thing" off me but it was too strong. I couldn't even move my head. I was so scared, I tried to scream to worn my family for help but I couldn't. Not a single sound came out from me. It was as if  I was re-enacting a scene from  A Nightmare on Elm Street. This thing had me under its control and I couldn't do anything. It had me pinned down until I passed out from the shock. This happened to me in all about maybe three times.

After the third incident I came home from work and my friend had came over to visit. She had asked me what was wrong. She said she'd seen in her mind's eye, a dark figure following me around. She then told me what it was and who had done this to me. I was floored and livid when I found out who it was. It was the guy who I had befriended at work. 

As any person who practices Wicca or any other pagan religion, this guy broke the Golden/Cardinal Rule.
"An' it harm none, Do what thou wilt."
Because usually when you do a spell,
"Whatever energy a person puts out onto the world, be it Positive or Negative, it will be returned to that person Threefold..."
 
However when you do it for personal gain and/or it interferes with a person free will, etc. it'll come back to you sevenfold.

She then proceeds to show me how to get rid of the figure that was taunting me. Nervously later on that night I blessed my house and I lite a candle while I slept. It came but this time I could feel that its hold was getting weaker and weaker as the night went on. When it tried to pin me down again I was able to get it off me but it still had some hold and almost dragged me out of my bed. I believe I mentally said an Our Father and it stop. Every once in awhile I would feel it push my body as if to say "I'm still here".

The next night I had my roommate sleep with me to see what would happen. I can say that was the first time in a very long while that I had slept soundly through the night. I am so grateful that it was last and final night that I will ever be in contact with this entity. Yes I could still feel a presence watching my every move however  it wasn't from within my room but more like it was coming from outside of my house. As time went on the heaviness in the house and that feeling of being watched went away. VICTORY IS MINE!
 
This guy messed with the wrong person, especially if they're a Great person and they have an Excellent future ahead of them. I know for a fact he was Envious of me and for what I do not know. That is what I would like to know but all I have to say to him is,
 
KARMA  IS  A  MOTHER  FUCKIN'  BITCH  &  YOU  WILL  GET  WHAT  YOU  DESERVE  (SEVENFOLD),  SO  MOTE  IT  BE!...
 

Good day.

Stairway...

There hasn't come a time where I haven't had some sort of unexplained or paranormal experience in my life. Not that I'm complaining or anything however sometimes it would be nice to know the answers to your own questions...
How are you guys doing? I know it has been a while since my last post but I'm trying my best to write more often.
 
Like I've said in my posts, when an experience happens to me I'm usually alone. However in this instance I wasn't which in my case, is rare. It was summer time I believe I was about 10 years old, transitioning from 4th  to 5th grade. That summer my parents decide to move from our small two bedroom apartment to another apartment that looked like a house. It was beautiful I must say yes it was another two bedroom apartment but it was much more spacious and it was two stories as well. When you walked in you would first see the living room . If you continued walking straight then you would go into the den. On your left side when you walked in you would see the dining room area and then the kitchen. There was another little dining room area within kitchen. The bedrooms and the bathroom were upstairs.  The stairway to go to the bedrooms was a trip (No pun intended!) it had a very gloomy look and feel to it. It's made of some sort of yellow stone, I believe it's limestone or something, it got dirty pretty fast.
                            
Not too long after we had moved in and everything was pretty much settled we started having some weird experiences in that house, even to this day. Not as frequent as when we first moved in, but it's still just as crazy. My first traumatic experience at that house was when my mom had called for me when I was upstairs playing in my room. I immediately stopped what I was doing and headed my way downstairs. As I proceeded to go downstairs, about half way through reaching the bottom is when I feel something wrap around my ankles. It felt like a pair of hands had gotten ahold of them. I then fall and stumble all the way down.The stairs had beaten me up badly.  I was super sore, extremely bruised and limping when I had gotten up. It wasn't a pretty site to see. My mom and I were afraid that I may have broken a bone, luckily I didn't!
I know you're probably thinking I was just being clumsy and tripped over my own foot. However, I wasn't the only one who had felt some invisible pair of hands grab at their feet and stumble while going downstairs for something. And it sucked that it happened on more then one occasion. After falling down the stairway a few times it had suddenly stopped and moved to different locations throughout the house.  It was definitely traumatizing for me as a child and for my family for not knowing when and if it was going to happen or not. Because of this, to this day I use hand rails to maneuver up and down any set of stairs I encounter. Call me paranoid I don't give a fuck, all I know is that I'm being safe and precautious!

Lie and wait for

Hmm, where do I begin? Just like any of my experiences that have happened to me, I'm usually alone. Which sucks because when you tell the person that you're living with what happened, they don't believe or just brush it off! Ugh, it's annoying as Fuck! Anyways...
"Back to another story, that haunts me, haunts me..." (Aw I love that song!)


This happened to me, I believe when I was somewhere between 14-16 years old. It was a Saturday morning. The night before I had finished my homework late that night because I  was going to go out with my family and I wouldn't have had time to do it another day. I had probably woken up like around 11am, I slept pretty good I must say! Right when I woke up, I went to my desk in my room to brush my hair. It was pretty much everywhere and it was going to take a long time because it's uber curly.

As I'm brushing my hair in the corner of my eye I see a woman what looked like my mom. She slowly pulls herself to my peripheral vision, stopped just enough to where she's still in the corner of my eye, turns her head a bit and just stared at me. This time however my mom looked a little different. The skin on her face was a bit more rough, you could almost see all the lines on her face. Not so much because she's old, but more so of sun damage without sunscreen protection. And her hair was super frizzy. In actuality my mom has frail, thin straight hair. I didn't think much of it, I thought she was just in there just to see how I was doing and to tell me to hurry up and get ready. But she didn't. She then again slowly pulls away from me and disappears. Then a few seconds later I feel a push on my back. I turn around and no one is there besides me and the door to my room is closed. My room is on the second floor and is fairly big. My bed is right next to the door and my desk is on the other side of the room. When you walk anywhere upstairs, you can hear every footstep creak. After the info I just gave you, tell me this......How the hell is someone going to leave my room and close the door in about two seconds Without making a sound?? Right when she left my eyesight I was pushed pretty hard.

I know, creepy right! You can just imagine the goosebumps and shivers I got after I realized it wasn't my mom. It was some wondering spirit searching for some kind of attention in some form or the other I guess.  What got to me most of all was that it happened in broad daylight. Not that hauntings don't happen in the daytime however most of the events that I've had, have been at night. It was definitely disturbing and surely wasn't the last...

Déjà vu

Hi everybody! Lol ah I never get tired of that. (name the reference!)

Anyways, I had a crazy déjà vu moment today on this Easter Sunday afternoon. While I'm having brunch with my mom's side of the family mind you. I say IRONY for sure! The universe is trying to talk to me. There has to be a meaning for this, I just don't know why yet....

What is Déjà vu?
French : "already seen" also known as promnesia
1) The illusion of having previously experienced something, actually being encountered for the first time.

So I went to the restroom, I go to wash my hands and I see a lady that just walked in as I'm looking at the mirror while washing my hands. I continue to rinse them with warm water. Then something tells me to stop for a bit and stare at myself at the mirror. As I finish and dry my hands, I stare and contemplate for about a minute or so on why I need to reflect. I've seen this "moment" of time before, I say to myself...

To this day it trips me out on how you can dream of events or things and they actually happen to you, when you least expect it. And you don't even realize that you've seen or felt this before until after the situation occurs..

...Oh my god I just had another déjà vu! It's been a cool minute since I've had one or as far as I can remember nonetheless, its been awhile but I'm glad it happened. Why is it that our imagination stays and our perception changes from child to adult? Slowly but surely my gifts are starting to come back into full affect again since I was a child. I hope that it'll help me later on in the obstacles at hand.

THEN, later on that day I get this horoscope from Xstrology! Seriously, I say IRONY!...

 ***Sunday, April 08, 2012***    
Problems in your intimate affairs may have an effect on your intuition. If you use your abilities publicly, you may not want to don't schedule any readings or related work for a few days. You aren’t blocked but until you quell the chaos in your heart, your mind is distracted at best. Even if you do not use your abilities publicly, you still need to resolve the matter at hand rather than avoid it. The energy surrounding you will help as you become rather decisive and articulate today. Use this energy to your favor and begin to assert your own needs and desires. Those around you will never know what how you truly feel if you don't speak up. During this time, open communication will see you through so trust in yourself and those you care for.

Always darkest before the Dawn

What I'm about to tell you really Did happen to me. It was NOT an hallucination nor was it a figment of my imagination and for that, I'll let you be the judge.....

I can remember it like it was yesterday. I believe I was about 5 years old when this catastrophic event took place. I had woken up from a deep sleep in the middle of the night. Why? Good question!

I looked at my surroundings everything and everyone, were dormant still. It hadn't been long since I had been awake, where I see these huge Madagascar-like cockroaches crawling in and around my hamper by my bed. Then in the corner of my eye a strange dark shadowy silhouette of a figure started manifesting from the outline of my dresser onto the wall behind the nightlight, as almost every young child has had on while sleeping. Lo and behold it was an outline/shadow of a gargoyle or demon! Something similar to this......however it was sitting down on something and its head was turned to the left to look at me, when "It" came to "visit" that night.


The wings were just as big as its body. Even though it was just a shadowy outline against my bedroom wall, in my mind's eye I could see its scaly black skin like of a mythological dragon, its big gleaming eyes just glaring at me and the short little horns that just barely poked out of its head. I kind you not I was scared shitless! What was I suppose to do? I was stuck in my bed paralyzed, I could hardly move my head and not being able to scream to inform my family for help, let alone make a sound. "It" made sure that its presence was known. I couldn't tell you how long it had been there, whether it was a few seconds or minutes. All I know is that it had been there too long. I was terrified so much so that not long after I had seen it, I may have lost consciousness out of horrified disbelief. When I woke up from this hysteria, "It" was gone. Like nothing had happened, it was just a figment of my imagination or something. It was the first and last time that I saw this creature.  I don't know why it came to me but looking back to this event now, it's a bit ironic... Maybe it was just preparing me for what is YET to come however in the meantime I'll continue living life as normal and as best I can...
