About Me

Enough about me
Hi. I'm a hardheaded artist loner madman on the verge of imploding, getting more radical by the minute.
For those who want to know, i've written & self-published two books of bluespoetry/prose, i dj'ed a bit, i dropped a noteworthy solo hiphop demo album back in 2002, i've been on stage a few times rockin' the mic, i've been stepping up my drawing skills over the years,..., and once i get my shit straight, i'ma strike back with new material - graphics & music.
what else... i operate differently than most, i have little to no opinions, i'm quite introverted, so i'm rapidly considered a wise-ass stuck up freak. Fuck it, the few people who know me know better.
+ i'm always in for a heart to heart talk, no holds barred.
- i dare anyone to criticize my disposition as spiritual heavy-weight and intellect fiend, especially narrow-minded arty farty secondhand intellectuals and foxy post-feminist buddhists, but no Jehova's witnesses, please.
+ The road i go is practically devoid of women, so i'ma just say: female females with attitude, to those who actually managed to read this far, i'm a fan.
& Oh, and anyone i don't know who wants to add me, please be so kind to send me a message first. (pour le record: je suis een trilingual kat) (& if i bluntly added you without messaging, you probably have thousands of friends already)
