Poppa said son you're a prince....act like it

About Me

a) Komplicated: like a mix tape of Metallica and Ghostface Killah.......things that should not go together but some how do b) Animated: I believe The Joker was a good guy, what kind of hero could dress as a bat c) Resilient: There is not much that can be done to me that has not been done already, the fact that I am still walking with smile is a event in of itself d) Master: Knowledge Understanding....knowing ones foundation with ability to communicate it to others produces Culture, through this one gains mastery e) All of the above
