TRUTH IS NOT AN OPINION

About Me

I am an adult school English teacher currently working with an LA city based project called the Health Care Career Ladder Training Program. Stand and Deliver is the name of a youth based healthcare program that's geared towards getting students internships and jobs in the medical field. If you are interested in finding out ways to get paid to learn, please contact me at [email protected] or make a profile on the website www.2ndthought.org.

My Interests

What interests me? Umm Let's see. Anything that I don't already know and that is a whole bunch of stuff. People interest me. Life interests me. I love reading about the body and nutrition. I am the last person you'd ever want to help you with a technological problem, but I love learning about computers and electronics. So much of our lives is controlled by machines, I'd like to know a little bit about how they work. I love nature and fishing. I like to eat, but I hate eating just to fill my stomach. I mean, does anyone else hate not being able to figure out what taste they have for the evening? The awesome personal narrative- what is this you may be asking- you know. The great stories we hear about spectacular individuals who go head on with the odds and make it. Tyler Perry's story definitely interests me because it proves that anything is possible if one tries his or her best. The power of testimony is incredible.

I'd like to meet:

Okay this list could go on and on and on on and on, but I'll give the abridged version. I'd like to meet Oprah because she is such an inspiration to me and has been a blessing to so many others. I'd also like to meet Judge Milian from People's Court. She is so dope! I mean beautiful, intelligent, compassionate and a rider. No one can get anything passed her. She is a great role model for women especially those of color. I'd love to meet Matt Damon. I know, it would be for semi shallow reasons, but I admire what he's been able to accomplish in his career. I also admire his gorgeous smile. Like I said the list could go on, but last but not least would have to be George W. Bush. It's just that so many people who I'm around hate the man. I can't help but think that he really is trying to do a good job running this crazy country. I'd just like to sit down and talk with him about somethings I feel are good as well as things that need improvement. I truly don't believe anyone is evil to the core.

Music:

I like all kinds of music. As long as the lyrics are clever and the melody is pleasing to the ear, I can get with literally any genre. Music is what I do.

Movies:

Jerry Maguire and Boomerang are two of my favorite movies. Oh yea, Picture Perfect with Jennifer Aniston is great too. It actually made me want to be in the advertising business. I'd love to dress cute and have business meetings at posh Beverly Hills lunch spots.

Television:

Girlfriends, Desparate Housewives, The Family Guy, King of the Hill, and The Simpsons!!!

Books:

Okay I'm kinda syrupy when it comes to the harlequin historical romance novels, but I cannot help it. My sister recently turned me onto EJD and Zane. I have read a few of their books and I like them too. I read a lot of business books about the music business and Pro Tools. Stuff I need for more practical reasons. I am trying to get through a book called 48 Laws of Power. A friend put me up on it, but just dealing with him the last 10 months has basically been like reading the book. I can't stand manipulators.

Heroes:

My number one hero is Jesus. I know it may seem stupid to some, but for me He is the best role model there is. Whether one believes in God, Jesus, or whatever, the story of His life and his ultimate sacrifice gives me something to aspire towards forever and ever. Just imagine how wonderful this world would be if we loved and treated everyone with the respect we'd want in return. I try everyday, but I still have a long long way to go.

Goodbye February

I don't care hair

Let's be real. When do you think you look your best? Is it when you spend countless hours in the mirror making sure every curl twirls with the same consistency as the one next to it, your lipstick is ...

I'm not an attention seeker

I just want to be me. What's wrong with that? I'm feeling frustrated lately and I don't know why. Maybe a combination of being out of my element for longer than I expected and then just an overall ann...

No Rush

We have an interlude on our album called "No Rush." Man the Vaughn sisters are good for saying what sounds good and works, but as far as following our own helpful advice... HA! We suck. Anyway, I'd li...

Reflecting on me

What the hell?

As I sit here and struggle to think of the big picture and not the little part I play in it, I am perplexed and feel parts of me wanting to fall apart. I don't really feel like putting more of my whac...

Things that make you go, hmm!

It is difficult to gel with someone spiritually, professionally, emotionally, and mentally for any long length of time and then have them simply disappear with no warning. Just here one day and gone t...
