About Me

"Imagine a world that promises to satisfy all your desires.....Political, sexual, financial and any other.....That you might have.....You turn a corner.....You are in that world.....You look around, nothing seems like it was before you got there.....You look back.....You look back.....All the promises are in the world you've just left behind.....Greener than you've ever imagined.....welcome to THE OTHER SIDE.....where it's always greener, till you get there and see it for yourself. See for yourself....."-LUCKY DUBE-Its time to celebrate this man's life!WOW!!"No one, no man is perfect. But it is our duty to work as close to possible to be perfect. The strength of the people is within their minds and their thoughts and their hearts." -BURNING SPEAR- Hello everyone, my name is Brandon Matthew Witte, pronounced "witty." I try to be when I can. I came into this world in the wee morning hours of April 21, 1976 in Orange, California. I stay between Arlington, Texas and Sevilla,Spain where I live and write about Spain and North and West Africa. I'm from Texas but Soy Andalus!! I really love Spain and Spanish culture. Sevilla is my town!! I studied at the Fabrico de Tabaco(the University of Seville.) This was the setting for Bizet's "Carmen." Sevilla is often called the most romantic city on earth!! Oh, I can smell the orange trees now!My time in Spain began when upon the advice of a friend from Lisbon I went to the University of Granada. I liked it, but it was a family that ran a hotel in Algerciras(directly in front of the rock of Gibraltar) that really made me feel at home. Its funny looking back on it all now, but late that night when we arrived at the little hotel, we waded out into the water. I turned to my friend and said, "I'm not sure, but I think that is the rock of Gibraltar!" He said, "huh?" We were two lost Americans in Spain! My suspicion was confirmed the next morning. I recognized it from the insurance commercial! Life can be so funny!! Its hard living in foreign countries at first, especially when you don't speak the language. After having been in London for six months(I was studying at the Richmond College and in the English Parliament) I was really missing my own family.That summer when I first entered Spain, I was lucky enough to find another family, but Spanish! With five brothers and three sisters! We had quite a summer swimming in the afternoons and watching the moon shine on the rock of Gibraltar at night! In the United States people often say that I resemble Dirk Nowitzski. In Spain, Brad Pitt. I say neither!! I have longer blonde hair and light blue eyes. I am 6'4 and increasing in height as I have been doing yoga now for over nearly three years. I especially enjoy the meditation part. Well, there are other ways to meditate, like drinking tea with friends and listening to soothing music. Music is a huge part of my life. I epsecially enjoy artists such as Bob Marley, Alpha Blondy, Burning Spear, and Steel Pulse. Musically, I have been very much influenced by West African drumming (especially some of the music from Senegal and Gambia. My singing is much in the style of Bob Marley's "Talking Blues." I stick with "Slave Driver," "Burnin and Lootin," and "Talking Blues," "War," and "Crazy Baldheads." I like to sing "Pimper's Paradise" from time to time. I have also been said to sing much in the fashion of Alpha Blondy, especially in "Peace in Liberia." Now, outside of reggae, I get inspiration from Manu Chau, Baaba Maal, Youssou N'Dour, Tata Dinding Jobarteh, Mansour Seck, Ifang Bondi and Cheikh Lo. Fela Anikulapo Kuti of Nigeria and Ali Farka Toure of Mali are among those that I also frequently enjoy. I hope to live in Mali one day. The Dogans, an ancient people there, are some of the most advanced astrologers in the world. I plan to live with and study them. I am also kind of an anthropologist on the side.I first began this type of work while teaching for the Rotary club the children in a tiny town called Pinotepa Nacional(in the southern state of Oaxaca, Mexico.) It is really interesting to observe people from cultures that you know nothing about.There is a wonderful innocence in it! I speak several African languages(some Yoruba and Wolof.) My Spanish is better than my English(I wish) but it is nearly the same. My French is allright and I completely understand and can communicate in Portugese. I also studied German for years but don't use it much. Besides living in Andalucia(Southern Spain) for three years, I've lived in London half a year(in Earl's Court and Richmond), months in the Netherlands, Prague for some months, and in Barcelona for a month. I also spent some time in Morocco and really enjoyed it. They are wonderful people! The green spearmint tea that they drink is maybe the best in the world. Well, maybe I'll say otherwise after going soon to China and I try their black and oolong teas. I hope to stay a year in China and really chill out with heavy meditatation, tea drinking, and long walks in the gardens. Also, I will live in Tibet for some years. Tibet is a place that I think that will totally captivate me so I will go in good time. It appears to be the kind of place that is probably hard to return from. I also like to chill in Kaui, Hawaii when I can. I am publishing this year several pieces from my time in Andalucia(Southern Spain) and North Africa during 1998-2001. Also, I am planning to go soon to India to become certified in the teaching of yoga. One of my good frineds is trying to get me to spend some time in Tokyo too! We'll see, its hard to do it all. After spending hopefully a year in Madras, India I plan to lecture on the philosophical aspects of Yoga. In Spain I am a professor of History and English. In the U.S. I sometimes teach Spanish. I also write literature pertaining to Spain, Mexico, and North and West Africa. I am especially interested in the Gitano(gypsy)culture of Southern Spain. This spring I will be focusing on music and my life. I am trying to combine reggae with Spanish style music as well as our own Texas flavor.

My Interests

"Money can't buy life." -Robert Nesta Marley-Wise words from a wise man. WHOEVER SENT ME A FRIEND REQUEST TODAY, I TRIED TO OPEN IT AND BY THE TIME I GOT THERE IT HAD BEEN ERASED VIA CYBERSTALKING. JUST KEEP TRYING IF YOU NEED TO GET IN TOUCH WITH ME.- Don't leave a message because it can be erased via cyberstalking. Leave a comment. Her people have my on and off line signal turned on and off sometimes. Also, sometimes they leave my on-line signal on when I am not on line. I have had now nine months of cyberstalking everytime on the computer! I think its funny!!Just think how much money she wasted for such nonsense! I beleive that she has lost at least five million dollars in the pursuit of me that has included constant surveillance and now almost constant use of electronics in our home. I have learned to deal with the electronics. They are nothing! However, I do not think that the judge will feel that way. Nor will he be too happy to learn of how Paris Hilton used the same devices on Britney Spears. Paris Hilton is going to prison for a very long, long, long, long time. She has also commited very serious crimes through her hackers who have accessed things that they will surely receive thirty to forty years in prison for. - I have been severly stalked by Paris W. Hilton since October 16 when I met her on Myspace. On the 17 of October, she claimed that she wanted to play a new role in the new "Dallas" series. She then went to three of the main countries on my Myspace at the time in October and early November (as I first put photos on Myspace only around the beginning of October. These countries were: South Korea, Japan, and China (I write about aspirations to go to China on my profile.) InTouch magazine featured this story and gave it the title of "The Asian Tour." Hilton's sister Nicky was on it too. She knows good and well who I am. In the pictures you can see Hilton flashing peace signs with another person as she did in an issue of InTouch in October when I first came in contact with her. I had pictures from a night with some friend's back in late September where I did the same. This picture is posted on my pictures. Hilton was recently doing the same again in Japan. She is trying to cover her tracks. I am sure that she is losing her mind by this point. I would almost guarantee that before October 16 of 2007 you will never find a picture of her flashing a peace sing. She is a monster. Sick individuals such as herself do not understand what is peace. I would also guarantee that she never flashed any more peace signs after those two times in October and early November when she was trying to get my attention. ( One of the last straws for Hilton was featured in InTouch magazine where she walked around with some Asian looking yogi and afterward gave away a twenty thousand dollar necklace. I think that was her final desperate attempt to try and get me to like her. Imagaine, this was after she had used electronics on me and after I had gone to the police. It shows just how sick she is mentally. Also, on the 19th of January I just learned that Hilton stormed out of some program crying. That was the same night that I went out with two Angolan girls who are friends of mine, Maria and Rosa. That is how disturbed that this sick person is. After I went to the police and she started using the electronic devices against me, she still thought that she had a chance. My goodness, she has no chance with anyone. She is a porno freak that has herpes! She then even came to Dallas to premiere "The Hottie and the Nottie." This was her second trip to Dallas. The other one was in early January a day or two before I went to the police and after I made it very, very clear that I had absolutely no interest in her via the cloned cell phone. However, I believe it to be a lie. I think that she asked the representative for Sally Beauty Supply to lie for her and claim that she came. The Dallas Morning News reported a "Paris sighting." NOTE: around the fourteenth of December, 2007 Hilton is in Berlin, Germany wearing a dress and stalkings that are identical to the curtains in my room put in 13 years ago. These pictures are posted on the Internet. Just type in Paris Hilton and Berlin boy and you can find it. You can see the exact pattern on my curtains in my photos on Myspace with my brother (best friend) holding the football. She did this I believe in an attempt to make me jealous after I had done something to upset her.-In the beginning of my time on Myspace (September and early October, the only people who would accept me as a "friend" without photos were people from South Korea and Japan. I have a friend from China in my cell phone that she hacked into and also had more than two or three persons from South Korea (from the Church at my University.) She made comments also relating to me, like in the beginning, I got a little tipsy one night from a little beer and wrote some goofy romantic type things (obviously long before I knew who she was or what type of person that she was.) Next day, she claimed she wanted to save the drunk elephants in India. Now her family has gotten the AP to block the story. This is obvious proof of her guilt. I have been alledging for months that she leaked this story to try and get my attention. She got into a serious battle with Britney Spears over me, who I had "met" previously on MySpace as a new "friend." I never communicated with her. -I have had illegal devices put into my family's home and have known since Dec.6. I went to the police in early January for help and they did not understand me and were concerned that it was my imagination. I just need someone to look into my story. The evidence is fifty fold. I have contacted the F.B.I. numerous times and am waiting a response. Hilton has also commited serious crimes with cellular phones, as I reported to the F.B.I. She also somehow had people hack into a system that provides the ability to view what people view in their homes. This is obviously anti-terrorist technology that was not meant for Paris Hilton to use. Also, cameras, noise makers, and even small energy weapons have been used in my family's home and at least four other homes of friends ( including my brother (best friend's ex-wife's house in Peoria, Illinois. His name is Assis Da Costa. The story sounds insane, I know, but I am not crazy! This is not a test. If any of you can help me, please go for it. This is probably the biggest story of the year. I believe that the Spears girl is not crazy but that she was driven almost mad by small gadgets placed in her home like was done to me. My parents are now also witnesses. We had a break in on a Monday back in March thirty minutes after my father arranged an ex-military bug hunter to come the next day. They are now very worried. I stopped telling them in January when they did not believe me and did not plan to come home to Texas again but did. I had hoped to just avoid the whole situation. I just want out. She is a sick monster. She and whoever works for her have been trying to drive me over the edge since three months when I wrote Micheal Jordan and Shaquille O'Neal on the MySpace regarding the situation not to mention the F.B.I. three times. NOTE: Hilton came to the DFW area two times in the last five months for the first time in her life. She has never been in Texas before. The first time was in early January right before I went to the police and when I made it clear via the cloned cell phone that I was not interested in her. The Dallas Morning News reported a "Paris sighting" at Sally Beauty Supply in Denton,TX. Ironically, she had signed with Sally Beauty Supply just a couple of weeks before, right after I had bought some hair clippers there with my credit card. I have been alledging for months that she was messing with my credit card sometimes when I would go to the grocery store or wherever. Again, I believe that this was a lie. It was when she realized that I had no interest whatsoever in her and she obviously wanted to make me believe that she was in town or coming to Arlington. This was probably just a trick to buy her more time. I think that she was obvioulsy afraid that I would go to the police when I made it clear that I was not interested. I can't think of any men that would live under such conditions, especially when they are not interested in the girl. I had accepted the surveillance for around a month(Dec. 5 to around Jan.5 in the belief that it was Hilton family policy to check me out.) Obviously, I should have never, ever accepted such a situation. It was then in early January when I finally told my brother Assis (best friend) what exactly was going on in the house. He said that he had heard of such things with well known women. I had to go to jury duty that morning and just stayed up all night to make it there at 8 a.m. It was around six that morning that Hilton started to have the noise makers set off in my room and in our kitchen. It was the sound of cars passing and cell phones ringing. That was when I said to myself, ok, it is time to go to the police, telling myself that I would not live in a mine-field of technological noise producers. It was not until later in March when I started contacting media that she used the energy weapons on me in my friend John Wesley Provence's house in Kennedale. He is a witness and has given statements to the police as to what he saw and to the threatening text message sent that week saying, "It is over-peace be with you always," from (UNKNOWN)source. NOTE: imagine, just a couple of weeks after I went to the police, on January 19th Hilton stormed out of some place crying and there was no explanation. That was the night that I went out with two girls that are friends of mine from Angola, Maria and Rosa. Imagine how sick this person was: she knew that I had gone to the police and that I had no interest in her and also wanted her prosecuted. After that she was still obsessed with me. This leads to the second trip to Texas. This one was completely verified and on the television. The second time she was in the DFW area was in late January when she premeired "The Hottie and the Nottie," her new film. Your help and interest would be extrememly appreciated. Read the bulletins that I have posted. There I have listed all of the information regarding Hilton's crimes against me and Spears. ONE LOVE-INTERESTS: -Yoga and basketball. A coach from the Caja in Sevilla was trying to get me to play on the professional team there but I was too busy enjoying the Sevillan lifestyle. Oh yeah, I practice yoga. I like to watch basketball, futbol(soccer) and American football. I grew up playing baseball and could have played college but joined a fraternity. That ended, and as Robert Nesta Marley said, when one door closes, another opens. For me that was Spain. Sometimes it scares me to think where my life would have gone if I had not found Espana(Spain.) I think that Spaniards showed me that true human spirit again and I will forever be indebted to them. They are fine, fine people! So yeah, obviously Spain is one of my interests!

I'd like to meet:

Too many to name. However, since I am a writer, William Shakespeare and Ernest Hemingway. Here is a passage from "For Whom the Bell Tolls," by E.Hemingway. It makes me tear up each time: There is no such thing as a shortness of time, though. You should have sense enough to know that too. I have been all my life in these hills since I have been here. Anselmo is my oldest friend. I know him better than I know Charles, than I know Chub, than I know Guy, than I know Mike, and I know them well. Agustin, with his vile mouth, is my brother, and I never had a brother. Maria is my true love and my wife. I never had a true love. I never had a wife. She is also my sister, and I never had a sister, and my daughter, and I never will have a daughter. I hate to leave a thing that is so good. He finished tying his rope-soled shoes.-ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT INFLUENCES ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE SHORT STORY AND NOVEL IN AMERICAN FICTION, HEMINGWAY HAS SEIZED THE IMAGINATION OF THE AMERICAN PUBLIC LIKE NO OTHER TWENTIETH-CENTURY AUTHOR.- I guess for me it always comes back to Ernest. I also enjoy Tolstoy, Steinbeck, Conrad, Kafka, and Fitzgerald.Sometimes I read Poe.

Music:

Nothing but reggae! Well, I also love flamenco from Spain. Particularly Camaron. I also enjoy music from India, such as Ravi Shankar. But again, for me its all about the reggae rhythm. In Spain and England we used to listen to a lot of techno, mainly Ministry of Sound, where we used to kick it back in 1998! But these days its strictly reggae. Now don't get me wrong, when I end up in Ibiza,Spain in the next months you'll definetely find me in the club. I dance some wild African rhthyms. I am white but people swear that I must come from Africa! Even my accent!! I love to dance! I love people! Spain is so cool! I think I already told ya'll a couple of times but the Stephen Marley show was fantastic. I am really digging track 11 called Juna Di Red(feat. Ben Harper).-WHAT A SONG!!!
