I don't think I posted this in the correct area so I'm posting again. It has been tweaked, for those who have already read it, with new details and such.
Sup Yo?
I go by Kieron or my emcee name Defron. Proud procrastinator, masturbator, decapitator, word creater, balloon inflater, caped crusader, Power Ranger, mind invader that is smarter than a fifth grader. What to say, I'm an intellectual who likes to frequently swear, confusing the FUCK out of everyone on a regular basis, and I'm pretty much the definition of fucking ill; quite literally, I've had cholesteatoma since age five and was recently diagnosed with testicular cancer, but I am past all the nasty stuff and am soldiering on, despite, of course, losing one of my beloved testicles. I am quite certain it was adopted by Madonna or Brangelina, they do anything for a headline.
How do I write, hey?
Sometimes I wanna sit down and write some shit, and in those times gold can happen. Sometimes I'm just inspired and will use the closest thing to a pen and paper I have (you may find sonnets and soliloquies of mine in your local male urinal). I believe that there a re particular monets when we are at our best creatively, and we dont always achieve our best because we may be doing something completely different, unaware that we are in that window of literary brilliance.
What do I write, hey?
Short stories mostly, I want to write anovel eventually, but these little pieces that eventually get longer and longer let me indulge myself and I think fragmented elements of lives makes for interesting reading experiences, or sleeping experiences.
I am a performance/slam poet, so I write free verse poems, some done heavily in an emcee style some in more of a speeded lyrical style without actually rhyming. Look out for my pretty face at the Describe Open Mic Nights as well as Spin Room readings and comps for those who feel the need to take a far away trip from home.
I am an emcee (I despise the term rapper) specializing in freestyling, songwriting. Gratutious plug; www.myspace.com/defronmc. I'm working on a mixtape and am participating in The City Beatz Project, working alongside Melbourne emcees Elf Tranzporter & Mantra of Illzilla. I am also a battle emcee, I've come second in both Freestyle Fed Square 09 & PushOver 09. Yep, honarary runner up is my name.
My influences, hey?
Writing: Raymond Carver who showed me the poetry of simplicity and Cormac McCarthy who showed me the simplicity in poetry.
Emceeing: Brother Ali, R.A. The Rugged Man, Aesop Rock, Nas, and Notorious B.I.G.
Poetry: Dylan Thomas, Sylvia Plath, Raymond Carver, Gemineye, Saul Williams. Two dudes from Melbourne called Geoff Lemon and Anthony O'Sullivan.
General Awesomeness: Kung Fu Panda.
Thats all the self indulgence I can manage at the moment. Who am I kidding, three introductory posts, I can manage a FUCKload more.
Enjoy your time at deakin, and if you want to see my freestyle skills come holla at me.
Peace.
