I am here for Friends

About Me


Hello, friends and people I don't know. I'm Philly Phil aka DJ Illuminist aka The Phillosoher aka Phil of the Present aka Blackness aka the Folly Black Panther. Call me what you will. I'm currently attending the International Business College in Fort Wayne going for my Bachelor's degree in graphic design. Yeah, I'll be making money. Someday.
I love God, and I love people. I like meeting new people, though I am terribly shy most of the time. Depends on who I'm around at the time. I'll try to love you even if you hate me. But why hate when you can roller skate. Drawing is my gift and I love it. I don't know what I'd be doing without it. Probably something with music.
Speaking of, I DJ and predominantly run the lighting for the Underground Cafe in my hometown of South Bend, Indiana. Click the banner on the left to check it out. We have awesome shows at least once a month. It's a very fun job, though it can take a lot out of a person. I think if I wasn't going into graphic design, I'd be DJing professionally or running live concerts.
Like I said, I'm painfully shy, but I will answer any question you may have. So if you want to get to know me a little more, don't hesitate to ask a question or 15. ^_^
Peace|Love|Hugs

The light at the end. Make it or die trying.

I've done things I'm not proud of.  I've been tested and I failed.  I've subtly tried to take advantage of another's weakness and given in to my own.  That's not me.  I look in the...
