First off...who are you?
-wuz up, my name is Keooudone Doe Inthirat. I'm 23 years old (damn, i'm old!!!), graduate of UGA (goooooo dawgs, sic 'em, woof, woof, woof!), and my day job is teaching kindergarten.
i like long walks on the beaches, writing poetry about nature...hahahaha...nah, just kidding! On the real, i'm just a down-to-earth bboy who is all about self-expression and open arms to whoever is down with just gettin' down and reppin'. All my peoplez wit me?!!!
What's your b-boy history (When did you start, why, old crews, etc.)?
-Well, I've always been a fool trying to dance. It all started out by seeing my cousin dancing at a club around 98ish. He was doing windmills and simple footwork and I was stoked. I began to mess around and realized, "hey...I can do dis shit!" So my senior year (99), Kennedy (misfit) and I started "practicing" in the hallways. We were doing the basics and crashing our asses off trying windmills, but nobody on the southside was bboying at this time. Then I headed off to UGA and started training with the crew there. Man, 2001 to 2003 was a helluva "experimental" year. All of us in the UGA club was trying to find our style, better yet, ourselves; ya know trying to figure out what our niche is in the bboy world. Then we met up with a few heads from Atlanta
(shift, joy, miguel, swift, sikwit) and saw Burn Unit and went to Breaklanta II; all of this inspired us. Every since then I've been training my ass off. But man, everyone, and I mean everyone in the Atlanta scene is a HUGE inspiration. I am honored to rock the floor with alls of yous! To continue my little life story, in the summer of 2003 I started to train with Concrete Styles b/c they were close to home and cool cats. We started to collaborate with other heads and then decided to change the name to UnNatural Causes. This is where I'm at now. It's been crazy fun,
though. So i'm reppin' UnNatural Causes, the UGA BBOY Club, and in the works of Eastcoast Outlaws (consisting of peeps from NC, FL, and GA); but most importantly, I will rep' for the state of Georgia. Georgia BBOYS UNITE!
When and why did you join up with Unnatural Causes?
-in the summer of 2003 b/c we've gots some crazy heads, no one is similiar in showmanship, cool peeps, closer to home, the list goes on...
How did you get your name, I know a lot of people think it came from the Pillsbury Doughboy...is that true?
-LOL!!! Nah man, well, my real name is Doe...no lie. Growing up, homeboys around the way used to always call me "doeboi" and plus when "Boyz in the Hood" came out and Ice Cube rip shit up and his name in the movie was "doughboy" helped alot. So I decided it fit me perfect, plus I'm a pretty "hefty" dude and if you poke my stomach, I'm gonna laugh my ass off like the Pillsbury Doughboy. I mainly wanted to keep my name simple. But you can just call me Doe, it's cool.
Who/what are your influences?
-where do I start? First off, God, without Him where would we be? My family inspires me a lot. The people who said I couldn't do it inspires me. All the Georgia crews keeps me on my toes...always feelin' ya'll. The whole nation inspires me, hell...every bboy in the galaxy influences me. Most of all, unity, love, strength and honor inspires me.
Any other passions in your life...i.e. art, film, sports,etc.
-family...family is my #1 priority. I love the arts. What I mean by art is SELF-EXPRESSION! Paintings, sculptures, cinema, poetry, etc. Man, the list goes on! I'm a sucker for cool wood furniture...something about it (i know that shit sounds weird). I love sports too! I train hard at
bboying but I always find time for basketball, a game of tackle football, some tennis...I'm pretty competitive. Shoot...who's down for a game of hoops? I may be short but shiiiitttt, homeboy gots skills! Oh yeah, another passion of my is being outdoors whether it's barbecuing, fishing, or just relaxing at the lake...yeah, I know, I gotta a little of that southern redneck in me.
Most memorable battles that you've been in?
-man, TSD II was very memorable. Battling Unique Styles at 3 da Hard Way in NC was an eye opener, then battling Motion Disorders at Breaklanta V was pretty cool. Whatever battle that I do encounter is always memorable.
Describe yo style:
-just straight up a damn fool...I mean, I mainly try to defy weight and gravity...do things that people wouldn't believe my size could do, ya know. So i figure my style is somewhat an aggressive flowing "fat boy" flava thrown in with some unorthodox blowups mixed with some weird ass power...feel me?
Practice/training schedule:
I try to "dance" everyday...but my schedule is mainly 5 days out of the 7. I go hard every other day and light in-between.
Any improvements on upcoming jams?
-been pretty pleased...music is great, vibe seems cool...couldn't ask for more, well, how about some exhibition
battles?

Where do you think the Atlanta/Georgia scene is heading:
-I think the scene is going great...many heads are popping out of no where. Just when you think these are the only people bboying or bgirling, BOOM, peoplez come out of the wood works. Also, many outta state heads are starting to realize there is a scene in Atlanta, better yet Georgia. So everyone, keep training and keep up the good work that ya'lls bring to the table.
Do you believe there are certain styles that describe a region:
-yeah...it's hard to describe but you can tell. Like if you are watching some heads in the cirle or in a battle but you really don't know where they're from, there's something about the way he/she gets down that says "Texas, Cali, Fl., Midwest, GA. ect."
SHOUTOUTS:
-Yo! My bad; this was way too long! But mad props to UnNatural Causes, the UGA bboy/bgirl club, ECO, Burn Unit, shiFt, Sound Savages, Chief Rockas, DUI (NC), Wicked Flavas, ATL FunkLords, Joy, Masevo, Mendez and MadClout, GSU club, AeroPhysics (TN), Style Mob Crew (SC), HBO crew (so many heads in that crew!), Konstruct and his crew, UpRock, Gary, the southeast, and everyone else that I've missed...holla at me if I forgot yas! Peace, take care, and May God Bless.
"strength and honor"
