About Me

A rather interesting assignment I had this week - WBO World Cruiserweight title holder, Enzo Maccarinelli.

*************************

Drop a note and say "Hi" if you're thinking of sending me a friends request. Myspace can be a cold numbers-game place, but it's so much better to spend time here with warm, friendly, real people :-)

Heroes:

Caravaggio, is my man! An artistic genius beyond compare but possessed of a wild temper and inner demons. He kills a man, goes on the run, figures he should become a Knights Templar to aid his absolution, gets arrested for fighting just one month later, escapes jail in Malta, paints to save his soul, sails back to the Pope's envoy with the painting gift, gets wrongly arrested on the way, ship plus painting leave without him, runs through the mosquito infested swampland to catch the ship, catches malaria and dies anonymously in a convent. FUCK!!! So my man!!!Read his life story in a mighty Phaedon epic book. Went to London to see his exhibition in 2005. Got sad cos i could never rest my eyes upon his genius ever again. Why wouldn't they let me roll just one of them up and let me take it home?
