A satyric poet, a wine-priest, an idiot dreamer, a poet-god, a cold logician, a visionary philosopher, & a disoriented human being. A Fool of the World. A scholar. Criminal, Saint, Madman, Savior, Heretic, Average Joe, Priest Of Lost Gods, Seeker of Miranda, Walker of Lucid Dreams, Father Who Is God On the Lips of Two Children, The Man In Black. You cannot see me or hear me, you cannot know me from these words.
I'm back... been some time gone, but I'm trying to get back into this E2 thang. (01-26-04)
Yeah, that didn't work (getting back into the E2 thang) -- between real life, MySpace (sigh, yes, I caved), and The Art Of The Mix, my net time is largely spoken for. Ad astra per aspira. (02-05-08)
