Capoeira.urban ninja-ry. parkour/free-running. art, photography... I love music, making it, mixing it, spinning it, composing it, playing it ( i've played classical piano since i was three....african drums, guitar, cello,viola...turntables, whatever) i love the water, the woods, anything outside gets my blood pumpin' i skate, snowboard, surf, bmx......me and the krew find random dive bars and find interesting characters we love.......drum circles are intense and heart-pounding, where the jungle of our heritage meets the blood of our past, makes you dance and sing and shake the very heavens with your passion.....
someone who can create some chaos in the world, push the envelope. even if only for a moment or for a second, just DO IT!!!! someone whose power lies within themselves....someone deep and well-versed in the dark complexities of life. those with a sense of humor that rivals my own....readers, deep-thinkers, street poets and magicians, political warriors, strong women, honest men, world travelers, urban artists....the fringes of accepted society is where one finds the richest colors, the deepest emotions....
My tastes are varied and eccentric. my loves, however, are classical music, underground hiphop, metal, and world music.
takashe miike....(i know i didn't spell it right) I love japanese horror, japanese anything, really. documentaries on strange and obscure things that normal people choose to ignore.
ever since chuck norris jumped out of the tv when i was six, i kinda just stay away from any it now. more into moviesanyway.
i read WAY too much. As a kid, i used to get in trouble for reading at inappropiate times....like in school, during class...at church...people's funerals/weddings/family get-togethers, etc...anything from classics, to scifi, to military history, to divine comedies, political satires... i shall be buried with thoreau's Walden Pond clutched in my little wrinkled paws.
...my dad, WILLIE, for having arms wide open even after my long, long absence...this amazing woman named carly, whose strength and drive are a force of unparalleled reckoning....word, son, word...my SF skate krew/taggers/inkers/rhytmic geniuses: much love, the last true soljas on the planet...whole bunch of others, but they know who they are. Germz, aka jeremy doland, for helping me so much when i was most troubled and unsure of my future. Crystal Evans, for teaching me the value and beauty of love, and the Grace of God. Shalom. God, for giving me strength, valor, passion, intelligence, and for teaching me everyday the value of truth and honor. Thank you for having my back. teh true revolutionaries of the world: ghandi, Malcom x, MLK, Mumia, Beethoven, Chopin, the list goes on, new members are added everyday.
