About Me



Have you added my music page & bands yet???

********CLICK THE PIC ********

My mama calls me Joel. Your mama calls me Dr. Spankenstein. On Okayplayer.com I am known as DawgEatah...

My Interests



I'm a writer. Mostly rhymes and screenplays. This leads to my 2 biggest passions - film and music. Oh, I play guitar and sing too. I have a degree in the film thing as well as a 4 year bid in the Entertainment Industry. I've been performing musical shit since I was like 15.

I think I'm kind of shy at first, but most people who know me well would say I'm a compulsive extrovert. So, just ask me something if you wanna know more.

Things I am obssessed with: Brainy Girls, Words and exploring all the fantastic ways I can molest them (the words! not the girls! unless...), Guitar, Hip Hop, Music (In General), Film, Pop Culture, TV, Okayplayer, Herb (I especially enjoy paprika).

I'd like to meet:

People who wanna share a bowl. Rappers, Singers, Poets, Musicans, Beatmakers and artists who want to build. Brainy, nerdy, girls. Hip hop and film heads.

Music:

Come listen to what I'm listening to!

I just love movies. While I am working hard at my DVD collection, I am a movie theater enthusiast at heart. Having a film degree I can be academic about films, but as a true lover of entertainment, I can just enjoy a fun flick as well.

Books:

I never learned to read!:

Grapes of Wrath, Being Digital, The Great Chicken Mambo and Human Transition, Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance - those are favorites. Currently I am reading A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius.

Heroes:

:
Anyone willing to justify my existence and validate my thoughts by responding to my internet musings, coming to my shows, buying my music or funding my film projects. Oh and Jesus... the black one.

They aren't really dead.Kept alive in vessels of water, given artificial nourishment to keep the appearance of life, but not truly living.Their roots torn from the ground.Neither dead nor alive, they ...
