About Me

I am not your Yoko Ono.
The sample songs on this page ("Pigeonholed" and "Villainy") are of shitty quality and were recorded on my cell phone that has a recording time limit of 30 seconds. I tried to pack in what I could. Yes, very primitive and base, but the only thing I can afford right now. "Malice" was recorded by Bunny at her house and is full-length and of better quality. Bunny also gave the song its title because I could not think of one.
I am currently recording an EP at Valencia Community College (East Campus) under producer Bunny Sandefur and co-producers DPU and Robert (said in French accent). I am also currently involved in a metal/jam/summon-the-rain-gods project with ViKtor (carbonbased; carcinus) under the self-created alias "Maegnas Belegurth". This has resulted in four-day long jam sessions that have produced brutal yet uplifting metal melodies that will pull your heartstrings while simultaneously crushing them. Soon.
I am also collaborating with hip-hop artist/producer Kel Jones (aka Kuevo among many other names...haha). Our project is simply called "A-K." We are in the process of recording tracks. In the words of my partner in crime, "we're making hits babee!" It's a fusion defused, songwriting with a hip-hop beat, warm spirits coming to tea with petron and a crunk brass ensemble...a glass of pinot noir with a slice of...french toast. Music to come soon!
I also write poetry and freestyle works. I am the guitarist/vocalist in the band D. O. B. (www.myspace.com/dayoldbread) which is on temporary (but prolonged) hiatus.
I edited my profile with Thomas Myspace Editor V3.6 !

The coolest thing since you dont care.

Many things are happening right now.  I will maybe write something profound on it at a later date.  But enjoy this little wishy-washy spectacle of egoism!:My Tattoo on the Dolls’ site!...

A note on certain things; what I hate most

You are for yourself only.  What someone receives of you is strictly your decision.  What I hate more than anything are people.  But not just that, but people who are arrogant and live ...

I embrace a doctrine of hate; a tacit phrase too implicit to state

Love is not the only force in humanity that should be allowed to reign.  People speak of the importance of balance, but then shun the resentful.  I do not believe in one pull over the other....
