Watashi no neko wa totemo ooki da yo!

About Me

I'm a criminal. So are you. You just don't know it yet.

I'm the King of Rock, there is none higher. Sucka MCs can call me sire...

Actually, it doesn't really matter what you call me. I've been called enough things that it doesn't matter.

My Interests

I'm interested in power to the people, and for just telling the damn truth once in a while.

I'd like to meet:

Anyone who thinks it's bigger than hip-hop.

I'd like to meet a lady with extensions in her hair, bamboo earrings, at least two pair.

People who understand that Helta Skelta only means war.

Someone who agrees that jelly goes on the bread before peanut butter! Not the same piece of bread, come on!

Oh, I don't want to meet Tim White from WKYC in Cleveland. Since when did hosting a knock-off sci-fi show like Sightings on Fox garner enough cred to anchor the news for a major city, especially with someone who has the personality of a cardboard box and the acting skillz that make Tara Reid and William Shatner cringe? WHEN?

A great way to start the day

There's nothing that smells like a good morning like a mug of coffee and blueberry muffins. It's the cornerstone of every nutritious breakfast.
