What the hell is there to say about me. I'm humbly arrogant, chivalroustly chauvinist, Feministly masculine and Republicly Democratic. I guess I'm a contradiction in terms. An African American. A single Dad. An Artist, but what is art other than relative to the eye of the indivdual? I'm always preparing for the next moment and brutally honest when it comes to facing repercussions for my action. So I'm constantly re-inventing myself, for the only constant in life is change.
