We don't choose are neighbours, hopefully they are kind and rational humans. This recording is part of KCRW radio race with the theme of, 'won't you be my neighbour.' I reached out to three of my friends to tell their stories of vicious bed bugs leaking from a hole in the wall, to a demon possessed dog reeking havoc in the neighbourhood.

Good Bad and Ugly Neighbours

Calvin Capelo is an average white collar office worker. He's tired of being average.
He started listening to a self help book to regain his confidence until things got ugly.


I have read a few self help books and tried to implement the principles the best I could.
Some things worked. I repeated positive mantras and saw situations from a different perspective. 

Some things didn't work for they conflicted with my spiritual views by promising me godlike powers.

It's tempting to listen to someone that will guide you in the ways of the force and say, 'do or do not, there is no try.'

I notice that some help books conflict
with each-other leaving the reader scratching their heads. All they're looking for is a straight path to enlightenment not many arrows pointing in different directions.

Special thanks to Tiffany C Lewis, to read the interview she had with me click here.
Also her books, Stitcher, Inside out, and El Jeffe is available on Amazon.

Better Version Of You 4

The tenant kept on kicking and punching the walls keeping the Landlord up through the night. He didn't pay rent, instead he ate free food and put on weight. Something had to be done but this decision will change their lives forever.


I enjoy writing strange, beautiful, awkward characters and placing them in a mirror universe.

A mirror universe looks, feels and functions like ours . The laws of Physics seems identical, but when you look closer you will notice the differences. 

Some differences are drastic, while most appear trivial and innocuous.
It's within the latter where the magic takes place.

Eviction Notice deals with a life and death issue.
It's designed to be listened to by yourself with your headphones on.
If I divulge the details of the story before you press play it would shatter the mirror universe leaving it null and void.

A Place Where Dreams Lead 

Take me to a place where dreams lead To the Olumirin waterfall To drown all my sorrows Communing with Osun the river goddess 

Take me to a place where dreams lead To Obudu While I stand at the peak of the mountain To tell the tales of how I overcame 

Take me to a place where dreams lead To Olumo Let me hide within the rocks That sheltered my ancestors during war 

Take me to a place where dreams lead To Gembu To enjoy the tenderness of nature In a land most peaceful 

Take me to a place where dreams lead To the Kajuru castle To enjoy harmony As Europe greets Africa 

Take me to a place where dreams lead To the heart of the Niger delta To the oil city Home of affluence 

Take me to a place where dreams lead To the ancient city of Sokoto To bask in the Sahara As I step on the sands of history

Take me to a place where dreams lead Through the rivers and the creeks The thick forest and the desert To a place I call home.
