Why I like Vanilla ICE!

to you, rob van winkle alias vanilla ice, may be a a joke.........a punchline............but to me he is an inspiration......even though i was not born when during the whole "ice ice baby" phenomenon, i still appreciate him more than words could ever express...............i want to to seriously read this and hopefully at the end rethink your veiws on him...............
when i was 12 years old i tried to commit suciide..............when vanillla ice was 22 years old he tried to commit sucide...both of us using drugs. while i was in the hospital recovering, i saw an episode of the Surreal life, which he was on, and literally my life was changed. he has struggled with depression the worst way, situational depression, which cant just go away with meds like my chemical inbalance. Seeing that he has overcome so much crap on a public level compared to my stresses on a jr.high level......made me feel really weak. but then i realized if he can do it, i must be able to too. almost a year after i was released from the hospital, i begged my mom to drive me 3 hours to see him in concert ...and eventually she gave in........despite my BFF breaking her toe in a moshpit,and smelling like beer and weed.. and sitting, well standing, through nearly 4 hours of opening acts, i finally saw him. i cried sooo hard! just seeing him up there doing what he loves and leaving his depression behind him really inspired me, to try to change my life around.i
today im happy, well happier, i recently saw him a 2nd time, 6 hours away in a scary hillbilly town called elkins, WV. but it was worth it. that time i actually had the confidence to get on stage and dance with him and a bunch of college chiks(something i would have nnever done before). it was fun.
despite my classic rock, clapton crazed upbringing form my single clapton crazed mother.ive ;learned ot apreciate vanilla ices music............hes not pop/rap any more...he calls it"multen hip hop" its kinda like limp bizcuit only heavier,and ICP only not as weird........kinda like Korn but not as emo..its a mix-- heavy metal backgrund music....with some screaming/growl and a lot of hard core hiphop...its great music.nowadays if i go out with frends i prefer buying a bright eyes cd to ices but that what i dont support him with merchandise wise i make up for with respect, myspasce comments,and concerts.and that is WHY I LIKE VANILLA ICE!
