but i will give the basics. my name is michael. some people call me onyx, but that's kind of in the past. i've been around for 22 years now, and to be honest, i'm not sure how much progression i've really made since day one. i currently reside in huntington beach, california, but i have never stayed anywhere for too long. to be honest, i hate it here. i don't like this pretentious orange county bullshit. i am from los angeles (oh aren't we all...), and my heart will always be there.
i am a complication in every sense of the word. cliche as it is, i am an artist (oh aren't we all...). i paint, i write, i do photography, and i make music. but as said, we all do right? so what makes me special? nothing. i'm no different then any of you.
i live my life step by step, in fear of what will happen next. what can i say... i have a paranoia complex. i have an immense fear or people in general.
i'm a never ending enigma most of you will never figure out. please don't try, it will only make me hate you.
