Despite this being a spam message I will answer anyways for the sake of my followers. 

Mozo Void is a character my father created when he was 18. It was also somewhat of an alter ego for him. My father created Mozo Void as an artsy character on the cutting edge of fashion, art, music, and culture. Now a days these people would be called "hipsters" however back in 1978 when Mozo Void was created there was no such thing as a "hipster".

So why Mozo?

Well my father being the great Genesis fan that he was (the band, not the bible) followed the works of Peter Gabriel (former lead singer of Genesis) very closely. Peter Gabriel in the story telling of his songs had created a character named Mozo. Gabriel describes Mozo as the mercurial stranger.  'He was partly based on Moses, but he was a fictional character who came from nowhere, disrupting people's lives and causing changes and then disappearing,' said Gabriel

Mozo was a catalyst for spiritual change.

Mozo is also depicted to have visions of the apocalypse in their song Here Comes the Flood.

That is the basis of Mozo.

Where did Void come from?

Simply put my father had to fill the void of the last name. Hey wait a second, void... hmmm.... yeah I'll use that. Mozo Void sounds kind of cool.

NOW WHAT DOES THIS ALL MEAN TO ME?

I adopted Mozo Void as my own a while ago, before even knowing it's background from Peter Gabriel. What is interesting is reading the background of Mozo's character from Peter Gabriel and finding some very odd coincidences between myself and Gabriel's Mozo.

Example:

Mozo's apocalyptic vision:

What I find interesting about this is that I have bad night terrors. Usually of apocalyptic nature. Some a repeats and it becomes quite frightening actually. A past repeat nightmare was a shooting in a mall food court. They would depict different themes throughout but it was always a damn mall food court. That dream was happening from November 2011 - March 2012. Something very scary to note is that there was a shooting at the Eaton Center (Toronto, the area I am from) a few weeks ago. The Eaton Center is Toronto's largest shopping mall. The shooting happened in the food court.

Example 2:

Mozo is a catalyst for spiritual change.

I love this because I have been doing this for a long time. Mainly helping depressed friends with some philosophical guidance. I don't exactly prescribe to any certain religion but I would have to say the closest ones are Buddhism and Pantheism.

ANYWAYS THAT IS THE STORY OF MOZO VOID. Hope you enjoyed it.
