About Me

arowbe arowbe arowbe . . .in recognition of my many selves - poet, performing artist, journalist, student of Fine Arts Cultural Studies and Creative Writing at York University. Agnostic prophet, - blending in but watching, mirror mind. Well-wisher, well-traveled well-spoken and well-read. Opportunist. Westcoast. I kick a rap like somebody loves hiphop (& partied and bullshit). If Ive ever been faced with a wall I couldnt pass, I painted on it. I carved statues out of writers block. Drank like famished water buffalo. loved&lost. Read poems by Gibran with Nas in my headphones. Aceyalone and Lao Tzu. Hesse and Common. ("Listened to Rakim on a rocky mountain top" - Saul Williams). Afraid of excessive chaos and order. Love depression for the somber reflection it comes with. ("and can I say my age is always on my mind and everything Ive done has never been in time for me?" - Zachary Gray)..

The Problem Of Blogging
