About Me

Twice this week I've been called a hippy. I am currently having my third eye scraped at a school in Southfield, MI called Irene's Myomassology Institute. Myomassology---- "Myo" means "muscle", "mass" means "massage", "ology" means "the study of." I am basically a student of massage therapy, but there is so much more to it than that. I want to work with midwives. I want to be an herbologist and a Naturopathic Doctor (ND). I want to be everything including a tree. And yes, trees do get pissed on, but so do people, and that's just life. C'est la vie mon cher... I also want to be french and african. I am a dancer. I do ballet, central african (congolese), and just whatever my heart desires to do. I am a photographer by way of interest and an artist by chance. I live in a decaying city and it is beautiful. Let us shove our nation back into the womb and birth ourselves once more.
