About Me

History is knowledge, knowledge is power, power is just a tool to effect change.change is the way of the universe.the universe is constant, unforgiving and beautifulLiving that slient curse of a truth seeking individual, akin to socrates but with alot more soul. Jazzy lIke Coltrane with more broken stanzas in my thought provoking train of simple complexities. ive always been the type to make coffee tables and never drink coffee, the love is always there but im still waitin for the moon to sparkle and make myself known to myself, but im a movitator and a positron makin magic in a world where people dont believe in black magic anymore.
