its a chinese riddle, rhonda!

About Me

i'm a dj, former record store owner, part time web developer, concert promoter, and aspiring scientist.
dj... I am one of two djs for Psyche Origami, the best shit since sliced bread. Peep the My Space page or our official website (www.psycheorigami.com) for music, video, bio, etc. I started spinning in 1998 whilst a junior in high school. I've always been a hip-hop fan, but it was turntablism that made me really want to be a dj.
former record store owner... Probably the coolest thing I will ever do, Dumpsterdive Records opened doors on 9/3/05 and closed just over two years later. My partners Brett (Spytek) and Cyndi, Noah (our store manager), and the rest of the extended family made it a truly memorable experience.
web developer... Flash. Pay me.
concert promoter/producer... I have produced several shows in Atlanta under various monikers including Psyche Origami and Dumpsterdive, and most recently I joined the A3C team to produce a fourth installment of the annual hip-hop festival (www.a3cfestival.com).
aspiring scientist... I decided to go back to school (GSU) and complete my bachelors degree in Chemistry. Not sure why, exactly; but I'm having fun as a 9th year junior.

My Interests

ignore this part, i'm testing some Flash stuff...

I'd like to meet:

I wanna meat your mom. (no typo)
And while we're on this topic, a quick note... I'm using this page to keep up with people I know (in the physical world). For those of you who have taken the time to request my cyber-friendship but don't fall under this category: a) thanks and please don't cry yourself to sleep when i reject you, and b) FEAR NOT! Why? Because I am part of a band who has a Myspace page through which we literally whore out our e-friendship. And i'm not misusing "literally". We'll send an ATF Records intern to your place. So go check out our Myspace page: www.myspace.com/psycheorigami
