about me
I'm the guy that will make laugh, cry and do the right thing, even if you don't think it is. I try to be the best positive role model i can be. This doesn't mean i'm a saint. We all have our demons in life. With the amazing power of family and friendship. I have overcome obsticles in life that would stop anyone. I feel i'm a strong person and try to be pillar to lean on in my freinds life. But even a pillar can be broken down. This is where the favor is returned. I feel i'm the center of four corners around me. That which is made up of my woman, my friends, my family ,and my fire. To me no matter what problem the first three my bring, fire will wash all away and make it all better. As the fire swooshes by my ears its like a whisper telling me everything is going to be ok. I am one of many big brothers in the family of friends. I have learned true meaning of the word "FAMILY". I'm feel i'm am fotunate to have what i have. If you give love to all corners ,you'll get love from all corners. As for the world of fire the story goes like this. Having a love of art since childhood, I've always appreciated elements and principles of design. After I graduated from school I did a bit of soul searching, but it wasn.t until I found a place that would change me forever. There I met a friend that I would hold dear to my heart and some time later become one of my brothers. Not even wanting to learn poi at first, I was challenged into the art. After a few hours I was addicted and could not stop spinning day and night, bruise after bruise. I learned a lot and always kept trying to learn something new.
After a year and a half of spinning glowsticks I wanted to take it to the next level. I soon met some fellow San Antonian and Austinite Fire spinners that pointed me in the right direction. From that point on it was homemade wicks and blisters from burns. I performed alone at first, but soon met Gabe(vortex) who took an interest in fire poi.
I called myself Vertigo, and from that point on we formed the "Brothers of the Flame" and the rest is history to be made!!
As i spin the portals of sound around my body, i unleash my soul and heart upon the dance floor and show the newcomers what our world is about. I embrace them with flames and green auras of light. Those who Vertigo know why the name is, and what i stand for. Raving from 94 and never before. I greet and play in the shadows of sound with the typical laughter of my mouth. For I'm a humble servent of the sound. That is always true. Love from the flames. Vertigo.
