About Me

I'd take an M16 over a book anyday. Must not sleep, must warn others. Look out - soul is back! I can say in one minute what Cage could only say in four minutes and 33 seconds. I recognize the responsible use of The Revolution. Il faut (d'abord) durer. Frequently check your credit at the moral bank. Let's not fuck around with the easy answers. When I grow up, I'm going to own a racehorse, and his name will be "I Wish A Muthafucka Would".

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Frantz Fanon. Matthew Wilder. Ed Hochuli. The Supreme Leader of The Revolution.
