The Cliffnotes: Thirty-something writer/producer/designer/, ghetto-turned enlightened negro, married, techno-geek. I'm a laid back, comedic (but not funny), intelligent (but not smart) musician (but not musical) who (in the right light) can be non-hideous by today's ostentatious standards.

Other Thoughts: I'm a person with a lot to say and do, but too shy to really put it all out there. I grew up pathologically shy, so just communicating on an everyday basis can be a bit of a task.

Writing: I love writing. Not in the sense that i'd like it to be a job. But I love trying to translate my thoughts and feelings to paper. More times than not, it comes out totally different and I learn more through the process.

Music: I listen to music all the time. I created music from samples. It's what I am. Music is my first love and rules my every thought, hope and dream. I can't understand how people don't live with a soundtrack constantly playing in their head. To me it sounds frightening, like losing your site or hearing. You can take anything away from me and I will recover. Take music from my life and you've destroyed me.
