"Knowledge cures ignorance, and if you're in the know, be fucking contagious!"
"The most important lesson in life is not that you picked your battles, fought your hardest and lost. It's that you fought for everything that you believed in because it made you proud, regardless of whether or not you won. The point isn't to win; it's to fight, with all of your life. You are a soldier to an army of one, but you are stronger alone than with those that lack the will to fight. Don't ever stop fighting; not even for a moment." ~ Reverend Saint Jon, LAMF (NJHWC) 1977-2006
"To attempt to silence a man is to pay him homage, for it is an acknowledgment that his arguments are both impossible to answer and impossible to ignore." (John "Birdman" Bryant)
Born and raised in Jersey. I was bred short and mean, but I pull off 'cute and sweet' real easy.
Re-located to Philly with a campaign to wake people from their media-fed zombification. I greatly enjoy being a visual nuisance and generally obnoxious when in public. We make no apologies for this.
Family is the most important thing to me.
One word of advice: Don't fuck with the carnies.
Quote to describe me:"You are a true inheritor of that beautiful scene that people like me came of age in and a true person, not one of the endless poseurs that just take up space. You rock." ~ Eak
"Everyone that I know that gets a neck tattoo that's not a spider web, that means something to them, has found a way. Because if you don't eat, you will die, and if you are working and eating with a neck tattoo, you are working for yourself, doing something for yourself. It commits you to you, absolutely. If you're not prepared to walk a very hard road for the rest of your life you shouldn't do it -- Not everyone is on a spiritual plain high enough where they are able to struggle through those hardships. What do you do when you have a face full of tattoos and not even McDonald's will hire you? The nice thing is, you will never be able to work at McDonald's. As Jimi Hendrix said, 'Hey there businessman, you can't dress like me'. It's a very tough road and you'd better be prepared to make sacrifices and not value material things, but people.
There is a security possible. You invest in happiness and you invest in people. All other things will crumble in time." ~ Jon Cobb
