About Me

It's all about the music. Music music music music music. I like piercing, the sky, wearing caps & hats, springtime, chocolate and odd numbers (especially the number 7). I looove sarcasm & stand-up comedy. I like guys who wear glasses:)) I daydream a lot & still think I can change the world (now isn't that soooo f*ckin cute). I'm way too emotional. Narrow-minded and ignorant people upset me....naaaw, they p*ss me off. I don't like the circus and the zoo. I hate small talk but I'm good at it. I'm one of four people who started the Urban Arts And Culture Movement with the basic goal to promote and educate young (and old:P) people here in Osijek, Croatia about the beautiful four elements of hip hop.
