So, i have been doing some research and i have found lots of stuff on Right hand or Left hand path witches, ie, light or dark
First off, the LHP/RHP dichotomy is not one of light vs dark. The most common (and perhaps over-used) means of explaining them is that the LHP is "my will be done," while the RHP is "thy will be done." This is a rather trite means of summarizing the two paths.
Perhaps the LHP would better be defined as fortifying and isolating the ego to the point that the self continues to exist, both immortal and independent, separate from diety. The RHP, in the other hand, seeks to merge the self with deity.

Is there such a thing as a middle hand path or a Gray path?
Considering the end goals of each path, there can be no "middle path." One can, however, make use of both "black" and "white" magic. This should not be confused with either the LHP or RHP, respectively.

i don't feel like a left hand, they seem to be into alot of the goth, vampire thing
That is not LHP, that is called being into the goth and vampire thing. Two different creatures, really.
QUOTE
the white witches just seem to be lacking something in the balance and passion department
Now you're talking about "white" witchcraft, which is a separate subject from the idea of the RHP.
I find the tree of life to be quite suitable to explain white and grey magic, left hand path and right hand path. Just look at it. Grey magic corresponds to the pillar of mercy, for the simple reason that chokmah is grey in the queen scale. White magic is thus the middle pillar. The right hand path is netzach, chesed and chokmah, and the left hand path is hod, geburah and binah. Makes perfect sense to me.
