::interests::
- art :: the one thing that has been consistent in my life. whether i was single or not. whether i was sitting by a fire in Iowa or lying on a beach in France. regardless of where i have been or what i'm doing, i'm throwing down on film, computer, paper, or nearest empty wall. thus is how we do do do.
- music :: without music I don't know where I would be... "if music be the food of love, play on..."
smart, fun, sexy, successful, crazy, wise, wacky, artistic, intelligent, motivated, inspiring, confident, real, happy people. you're a product of your environment...therefore i surround myself with that which i wish to become.
so if you're irritating, shallow, depressing, boring, sad, frontin, or just plain dumb... prepare to meet the No.1 Asshole.

mmm...i used to be book smart... now i'm more like... magazine smart.
...work hard. be responsible. make money. pay for ur own shiet. properly prioritize your life.
Be able to properly manage a career, friends, family and some dope ass lady friend while stackin paper and you're well on your way to being my hero...
**for the first time in my life since i was a child, i see my parents as heroes. maybe it's because i'm growing up and a parent now myself... theyve made it as a couple through all the trials and tribulations that a married couple goes through as well as the grief that I and my siblings have caused them. theyve raised 4 damn intelligent and talented children and though we've run astray, let our talents waste, drank our asses off, and been rowdy rowdy...we always come back around. one day, when my shits together, i hope my daughter will call me her hero. until then... its time to DO WORK!
