About Me


i'm a musician and composer. i also pen POEMS , forge philosophies, and construct images. i have been thrown out of graduate school at Louisiana State University a record THREE times now for failing to properly kiss the arrogant asses of my philosophy professors and the graduate level bureaucratic establishment in general. it's a real fuckin' travesty. i've been in college on and off for about ten years, and i've never failed a single course. i'm currently negotiating with the Louisiana Department of Justice for restitution in this unfortunate matter.
currently, i am in the process of writing and recording my own compositions. it's an extremely slow process, and i'm always in need of some inspiration. i will post the results HERE when i've completed some work. in the meantime, check out my POEMS please.

my heart is rusted

my heart is rusted an old tin left out in the rain   if you listen you can hear it crack a bit more with every beat   blood red to brown for a kiss on a frown   June 2005...
