About Me

Well where to begin. I am extremely passionate about culture(music mostly). Simple things in this world amaze and inspire me, like a child jumping a puddle in the snow drenched street of Times Square. I have so many ideas that is overwhelms me, but when I get the chance to apply them, Murphy's Law comes and says hello. I am extremely voyueristic of what people are wearing, what makes them tick, but get frustrated easily with people's and society's trappings. It dumbfounds me just how much the American populace are like sheep. Even those " trendy circles" of people that we all know and love are so damn closeminded. I love showing people new things.... I feel like I have a lot to say, both in my outlook in life and in the music I play out when I spin, when I am truly left to my own devices. Unfortunately it always seems to fall on deaf ears. It is most likely due to the places and people I play for, but that is another story. I just know that there are other people who can be moved by the same things as I, I just need to find them. I am a "Happy Cynic" (Somebody stole that line from me........). I have an insane sense of humor, and like to reference things in a rapid fire manner. I suppose I have ADD. I am a Latchkey Kid for life.

My Interests

Finding out about new music (that doesn't mean what's new in the mags, I am akin to mostly music that was made before 1984, preferably late 60's to late 70's), diggin through crates, post graphitti art, figuring out why I am here, finding the beauty in all people.
