Play your instrument until your fingers know the infinite universe!! Welcome to the official myspace

About Me

Sometimes refered to as Philosaxx or Smaqdiggle the Afropiglet, I stomp on this earth as saxophonist and philosopher. I appreciate the purest forms of aesthetics, supporting those who promote the wisdom construct, music. I believe that creative music is good for the soul. Creative music requires stomping your foot in the dough and having cookie funk between your toes! Nothing wrong with having a little chocolate chip in your air jordans!

My Interests

Alto, tenor, soprano, and Baritone saxophones. Music. Motorcycles. Talking skit with family and friends, Tetris (apparently), barking loudly (you have to hear me do that skit), big azz waterfalls, laughing out loud at stupid skit, long hot showers in the winter, living the life in the wisdom construct inspired by smaqdigglomenology, and soulful spiritual parallel universe inspired conversations. Interesting quote: "...we define wisdom as an expertise in the conduct and meaning of life. In this vein, wisdom is a key factor in the construction of a "good life"(Staudinger, in press)." Live well in the wisdom construct in ZeroSeven!!

I'd like to meet:

Cool people who don't mind saying or doing their thing. Interesting folk who bring positivity with them. I even welcome the negative individual. All I ask is that when you stop by my site, bring a flashlight and mirror so I can show you something about how your life can be a reflection of your attitude. I would love to meet all of my relatives throughout the world that I have only heard of by name.
