About Mike

THE DA SILVA CODE an unapologetic journey into the heart of the wild man from Borneo! This road has been long and hard and i partied up a storm and took no prisoners along the way. The party battlefield is strewn with broken bottles, hangovers from hell and lost virginities. it was just a case of another one for "Rock n Roll". everything i write is strictly for shits and giggles. if you take offense i recommend you visit your nearest crisis centre STAT! a sense of humour is all we have left in an otherwiswe bleak world. please deposit your attitude at the door, sit down and simply allow your brain to soak up the bubblegum. its all just for gags. i am as mad as a hatter and regularly laugh at my own folly.
