Diary Entry #1
Hello, everyone - it is I, Amy Vendetta, the Sadomasochistic Mad Genius live in your mama's fucking basements!
Just joking - anyway, it is long fucking overdue, but we fucking-a did it; that's right - I'm talking about the official launch of the newly designed official website of my solo project, live on the internet all over the world now.
I've been busy as fuck trying to catch up on what's been happening since I took an 5 year hiatus from the music and everything else going down in my life, and it's been a long fucking time since I did any new songs or anything like that, and I thought to myself, "It's time; let's rise from the ashes and resurrect the Bohemian Revolution..." So in other words, I'm back with a motherfucking vendetta against the music industry and everyone and everything around me that I hate... I've got lots to say, names to drop and things to talk about that's really important, especially with the new solo album that is just too fucking long overdue.
As of late, you all probably are wondering why I've chosen to go solo, even after what happened 5 years ago. Well, in that case, I would like to sit your fucking asses down and tell you a story. It won't be a too long of a story, of course, but it's best you heard it from the original source, yours truly, than from someone else.
See, after my wife's suicide and my daughter's passing from leukemia, and the funeral back in 2009, I went through some very hard times and a very dark period in my life. I didn't want to talk to anyone, nor get help or even hang out with my bandmates to make new music anymore. I split up with my original mates from Post Traumatic Empathy, and ended things with my old label/management crew from Musicians Underground Studios, and went my own way. I cut off all ties and dead weight that was pulling me down, and went into seclusion/hiding to clear my head, and not even used much of my social media outlets. Everyone thought I was either dead, in jail or in a state hospital - well, they were all wrong. I was actually in the mountains, living in a isolated cabins out in Colorado, just keeping to myself, and figuring my shit out, and just relaxing. No one knew who I was or what I did for a living; I was just a faceless stranger with no name in some way. To be honest, it was kind of liberating to not be known for what I did with my music or other projects/ventures I was in during the time, or even who I am that captured the world's attention.
So after 5 and a half years, almost 6 years this November 2015, I cleared my head, figured out what I really wanted out of life, did my mourning and grieving and went back into the game, and launched my very own solo project, got back into BDSM again and did everything that I used to do and enjoyed and loved, but 10 times better than what it used to be before. And here I am, with a new website, a new solo album, new projects/ventures I'm partaking in outside of the music career, such as ventures regarding my BDSM lifestyle, my art career, my writing/poetry career, my photography career, my modeling career and so forth... I had a lot to catch up on, refresh my knowledge/skills and what I've learned thus far, along with new experiences and knowledge of new skills and talents I never knew I had before and I'm back from the dead and ready to take on the world with a new kind of revolution, one that's surely to change the fate of the free world forever and possibly save lives and open a lot of minds and eyes to the truth eventually.
Anyway, I'm so glad I am able to do all this now, and at a better time and place, no doubt about that. I plan to see you all soon live on tour and when the new album is done and released to the masses, I hope you enjoy what I have to offer and say to all of you. Until then, this is Amy Vendetta signing out.
Namaste,
A.V.
