Diamondsmile, 38

I am: I love to draw, and have recently taken up writing rhymes and freestyling. I read quite often, most often comic books, but I do enjoy poetry and works of mythology.

My friends describe me as a kindhearted, funny, dependable, and "real" person. If I could describe my self in one word, I'd probably use enigma. I'm an artist, an urban Renaissance man, poet, dreamer, nerd, an individual, goof off, unintentional flake, flawed, reckless, sorcerer, conqueror, astral projection, telekinetic and the list goes on. A lot of nouns and adjectives can be used to attempt to explain my humanity. I'm a hard worker, sometimes hold down 3 jobs; supermarket, office assistant, and tutoring. I have various ambitions, one is to finish this mixtape I started recently, and perform in the NYC underground scene.

My tastes in music and movies aren't always agreeable with the general masses, but hey, I like what I like I love foreign films, most notably Princess Mononoke, Hero, Visitor Q, Seven Samurai, Kamikaze Girls, Casshern, Godzilla films, and Run Lola Run. Some of my favorite films are Citizen Kane, Metropolis, Taxi Driver, Donnie Darko, Unbreakable, The Fifth Element, and Pulp Fiction. Now music, I live for music. I don't think I can go a day without my headphones cause I'd probably be driven mad by all the noise pollution! Daft Punk, Prince, The White Stripes, The Gorillaz, MF Doom, Ceelo Green, The Beatles, Jimi Hendrix, Tom Waites, Kayne West, The Wu-Tang Clan, No Doubt, 5 Finger Death Punch... just some of my favorites from my massive list

Once I read a fortune cookie that told me I have a talent for seeing beauty in anything, and didn't realize how true that was until recently. I'm from the Bronx, and although countless people say it's a crime-ridden cesspool of filth, I can find several things beautiful about it.
