Paul Barman, M.C.
NYC

Summary
While they're on square 1, I'm on #3.

Objectives
Money. To not become a dumber me.

Experience
Lyricist and Director, Househusband Records, 1996 - yearly since.
Projects blow minds, get laughs and nod necks. Invent words, create products and objects.
Not to mention, developed a process to make work moriginal-- not less!:

What's everyone doin'?
Who? Why?
Where is there room in
between?
What'd be truly new an'
what merely reunion?
What was promising that dishonesty ruined?
My style is substance.
The teacher's a student.
You can
leapfrog your own influence
and be a generation ahead.
It seems inhuman!
Perceived opposites merge.
Illuminate incongruence.


Talk about a transferable skill.
My will to create, an incurable ill.
If you're unfulfilled, sis, talk to me.
