About Me

You should create your own MySpace Layouts like me by using /a!See: "In-Person" Work hard to make a change in this world using music as the weapon (-Fela Anikulapo Kuti). A student of life, I move by its inspirations. I love to love, even when it hurts...It's in my nature. Play when I can, and even when I can't. They say "Do what you love" so I do, through trial and error. I wish society wasn't so ill and will spend a life time trying to heal it, with all my brothers and sisters together in arms (and I don't mean weapons). One might say a person is wierd, I say that they are creative and as soon as "everyone" starts to buy their ideas, they will change from 'wierd' to 'genius' On that note, I follow my intuition, and believe in myself. I think for myself, and encourage others to do so as well. I try (no one is perfect) not to judge or "hate" on others, because without them, there would be no me...or you. Love is the Ultimate force in life...You should try it sometime if you don't, and do as much of it as you can if you do.

My Interests

Shit talkin', Dust Kickin', Watchin People, Making Moves, World Take Over, Rare Records, Capital Accumulation... Dancing..salsa, soul, hip hop, house, 2 step...don't matter.

People who do things for others, carry themselves with confidence yet still exude humbleness, take pride in helping their fellow people and never ask for appreciation, love willingly with the intention only of loving and not of being loved back, those that ain't sheisty, or those who are but keep it real and let you know from the gate. Anyone who ever tried to change something, and people that question everything. And everyone that ever crossed my path and influenced me, anyone who can teach me something, those that can hold composure in any setting.

Kanye is WACK

Kanye is weak. His album was weak. He had a few tracks that were coo, but over all, it hardly deserves recognition in the hip-hop hall of fame. He is an incredible producer and a so-so rapper (not to ...
