I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

constantly, and most surely recently been attempting to find balance to this conundrum we call life. boxing with shadows sometimes gets me tired, and rest is swell...but i know once i wake up, i must stand and move foreward...progressive in nature, embrace change, for change is good. change is growth, growth is life. Despite how child like I may seem to people somedays, I will be a teacher one day, u'll see. Embrace all who bring the best out of me, as I try in turn to bring the best out of these same folks. I love mind stimulating conversation, but at the same time, dorkiness is key. Jo-AL equals DORK. Part of a crew of Norwegian Cooks called Variable Narratives. Okay...we're not cooks, nor are we norwegian, but we are three Pilipino brothas who like making bootleg music. It's fun, you should try it...oh yea, and i talk WAY TOO MUCH, so im going to shutup now...say hello if you don't know me...

My Interests

Indie-underground hip hop music that speaks relevant issues, acoustic versions of rock songs, revolution, b-boying performed by b-girls, graff art, dave kinsey's work. asian am studies, transformers during MY generation, the music making process, the beauties of women (fo sho), Written word.
And just when you thought Natalie Portman couldn't get anymore hotter...natalie portman rap
