out of the inK thAt Kovers me

INVICTUS
William Ernest Henley



Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the Pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.
---------------------------------------------


In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.
----------------------------------------------


Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds, and shall find, me unafraid.
------------------------------------------------


It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll.
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.

TATTOO #2 COMPLETE:

Black Dante'

This picture was taken 12/10/2005, my junior year in high school. If you kept up with my blog, you might have caught that there weren't too many black people involved with drifting. And also seeing how there was already a known drifter named Dante', I was given the nickname "Black Dante'"

This was my first drift event at OSW (Orlando Speed World) :: as you can see, I wasnt doing too much of anything lol

Details: Front Lip :: KYB Struts :: Tein S-tech springs :: missing rear bumper from light pole accident.





These photos were taken Easter of 2006..my second OSW Event.

Details: Car repainted & bumper/hatch fixed :: Tanabe Sustec Rear Sway Bar :: Tein front tie rods :: KYB struts :: Tein S-tech Springs



ok so this isnt me, but pictures from my last event are missing.
but believe me when i say i was ballin on these bitches.

by now the car details were : WORK Mesh Rims :: Stance Full Coilovers :: Rear Subframe spacers :: Stainless steal Breakline :: Flexalite dual cooling fans :: Welded Diff :: Front Tie-rods/ends :: rear sway :: ..man alot of shit.. but my shit was ballin, wait till i find those pics.

Before any of this Kappa, College, and Promoter excitement began, my main focus was on building and driving cars. More specifically, the suspension was my highest focus.

At age 15 I was intrigued by the world of drifting and modifying Japanese cars. It wasnt until age 17 that I was sucked into that very world after the purchase of my 1990 Nissan 240sx.

.................................Burnt Rubber

tires were replaced as frequently as my hair was cut.
I was blue jeans and greased stained tee wearing kid, who under all the grudge still looked fly.

but besides that, the view of this picture is the a view that I came to fall in love with.
Pictured: from what I can spot, I see a Rear Upper & Lower Control Arms | Full Coilover | Rear Toe Rod | Rear Traction Rod | Rear Sway Bar | Stainless steal break line | ..this looks to be a great setup minus the addition of Energy Suspension Bushings.

..but yeaman, this is what i used to be about...i miss that life
