Rabi Khan's
Moment Before the Kiss
I'd like to meet:
Besides my future husband(s) Dwayne Johnson, Gerard Butler (and/or) Vin Deisel?....(or his brother - because twins are fabulous too) I would like to meet Maya Angelou (I know weird combo of idols)...Rumi would've been nice too - what a beautiful poet...actually, I'd like him to come through time for me because I'm not going back. ;)
I like them all so much, I've named my pets after them: My betta Rock (God Rest his little fishy soul), and his step-brothers (African Dwarf Frogs) Vin and Deisel.

and your lives will be THAT MUCH better for it. ;)
Start with "He Loves Me (Lyzel in E Flat)" by Jill, "Joy" by Ledisi, "In Love with You" by Erykah Badu (or "Tyrone" if you need inspiration to get rid of a baaaad man) and "Better Man" by James, to get you started (Be warned though: it'll be makin' you want a "better man" - that boy can croon!).

Dammit! Dammit! Dammit!...oh and Jet Li's "Fearless" the ultimate of ultimates in martial art movies!! ;)
