The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved,

About Me

Get your layout at PimpMySpaceLayouts.net

If its abstract and noisy (yes images can be noisy...) I like it. Im an Elite-ist by force, connoiser of blips and bleeps and a general madman. Thus the name...Mad, maybe not in the traditional sense, but get too know me and youll know what "they' mean. Who am I? a 31 year old(young) Male currently based in Dubai. My biggest passion is life is the development of Afrikaans as a language and working towards a way to give unheard of and young budding writers in Afrikaans a platform to start publishing and getting their works to the masses. My wife to be, Bianca, is the rock in my life and would not be where I am today if it was not for her. I dabble in electronic music production and use Cubase SX with Fruity Loops and Reason rewired. I havent made my Big Hit yet, but am working on it. Im also quite involved in the South African Music industry where I do reviews for any kind of musican and help to promote young newcomers who I feel have talent.


Feel free to read my complete blog at MIO BLOG
My Afrikaans Poetry is here: Roekeloos

My Interests

Music, Music Production, Film, Film Scripts, Journalism, Tropical Fishkeeping, Marathon Running, Writing of Poetry, Short Stories and Novels, Photography

I'd like to meet:

All and any kinds of people. Peeps with a taste for the absurd and abstract in life. Lateral thinkers. Creators. Some members of the so-called 'illimunati', Hansie Cronje - I still havent done an interview with him, my alter ego, Dr. Hoffman, Richard Branson. Id also like to meet old school friends - mail me [email protected]

Music:

Anything from Mozart to Kid606. I have an unnatural attraction to noisy/leftfield kind of music. Autochre twists me inside, kid606 fuels it and Mike and Rich light the fire. I also like Hard House, Hardstyle and some minimal House. But im into any music, as long as it grabs hold of you and make your insides warm...

Movies:

Jeez. So many to mention but I like Dramatical movies and leftfield movies. Run Lola Run, Doberman, all Tarantino films, all Tim Burton films, and last but not least anything that Kevin Spacey is in. But ill watch anything as long as its not got a bad script

Television:

Dont really watch Television but like Boston Legal, 3rd Rock from the Sun, The News

Books:

I could keep anyone busy for hours listing to everything I like to read. Have probably the only complete Stephen King collection in South Africa, go GAGA for good Afrikaans books (and hopefully one day my own works can be added to my bookshelf...) Andre Brink, Ettiene Le Roux, Koos Kombuis, Nataniel, Jeanne Goossen, Francois Bloem, matthews Phosa, etc. Terry Pratchets Disckworld series, Anne Rice's Vampire Chronicles, Dan Brownes books. But Ill read pretty much anything I can get my hands on. Going into a new spate of beat poet reading at the moment. really loving Kerouac again. for the umpteenth time.

Heroes:

James Brown - May he Rest in Peace!!!!
