Bonjour. Moi, j'ecris, je depense les temps sur l'art et la musique. Il y a longtemps depuis j'ai habite a Lille, France et Rabat, Maroc et parle ou ecris en Francais, mais je l'aime beaucoup des langues. La musique est creer avec toute les rhythmes que j'ai entendue pendant mes voyages avec le folk de l'Amerique. L'art, maintenant, viens de ma reaction a l'inequalite entre les hommes et les femmes en societe. J'espere que tu aime les deux. Merci!
Salam Alakum wa Chokran!

yeah, i'm in chicago now, looking forward to next month! i've been working on a bike taxi, so i'm busy when there's baseball games, otherwise good to hang out and hear your shows! kool
I'm not doing too much really. Just getting by. Starting to get a new project going so hopefully we can have some stuff down before too long. It's been too long and I'm starting to get a bit of a musical itch.
