Eugene Askew, Jr

Allow me to introduce myself, My name is Eugene Askew. I am a writer, poet, and photographer residing somewhere in the outskirts of the DC area. I am incredibly shy more often than not, but once you get to know me you’ll see me at my most comfortable phase. I most recently picked up the hobby of photography. I’m very much a free thinker who likes to say what he feels. There will be some statements made here from time to time that you may or may not agree with. Either way feed back and any comments are encouraged. I’m very mindfull of others opinions and would like to know what my readers think

I was once the occasional bar hopper party goer type. I like going to concerts and club shows but often find my life not permitting me to do so. I listen to just about every genre of music there is. My intermediate list includes: Reggae, Metal, Hip Hop, House/Techno/Industrial, R&B,a little country and pop along the way. Most recently however, my tastes have evolved to include Japanese Rock as well. Lets just say my dream festival would leave some people confused. I see music as an art form so I don’t necessarily categorize anything as good or bad. Its all in how you express yourself.

As a writer, I currently oversee the daily operations of The Askew Effect | Ramsey Digital website. It's a project I started several years ago with the help of a very close friend. The goal of our site was simple, we wanted to share our prospective on the world of gaming and various other facets of technology and entertainment through our own eyes. I'm also a contributing blogger on the HiLvl Gaming website. A website dedicated to showcasing the growing gaming communites based out of the islands of Hawaii.

In May of 2013, I will be self publishing my first book. It's a chapbook of poetry that dates back to my time in High School. Told mostly from a character prospective, Kissing Verse is essentially the poetic journey between a tortured soul in seach of it's muse.

I also love to read. A few of my favorite authors include, Brad Meltzer (The First Council, Zero Game), Chuck Palahnuik (Choke,Fight Club,Haunted) and my latest addiction “The Heroin Diaries” By Motley Crue member Nikki Sixx. Someday I hope to find my book on a shelf next next to any one of these authors
