..I'm an avid reader(hold over 200 books at home, but no library card..go figure)I support my culture as much as possible. The majority of these books are from African American authors, as well as African-American artwork, Gospel plays..and **ahem**playing spades..**you can take the sista out of the hood..you know the rest***
I PLAY THE MUSIC THAT I LIKE, IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE CURRENT FOR ME TO FEEL IT, if you notice I tend to steer very close to ballads..especially those in the past...Hello everyone just a little about me, First things first,I am a BRUTALLY honest and fiesty female and it's not getting any better..I envison myself as that mean old lady that chases all the kids from her porch, because all that "noise" is making her electricity go up! Yep it's gonna be me and 15 cats..I see it now..so let me have my fun while I can..Let's see...who would I like to meet..HONESTLY I WOULD LOVE TO TRAVEL BACK IN TIME ABOUT 15 YEARS AND MEET MYSELF, LET MYSELF KNOW THAT'S IT'S GOING TO BE ALRIGHT AND EVERY OBSTACLE THAT I WILL FACE WILL ONLY MAKE ME STRONGER AND A BETTER WOMAN, TO KEEP THE FAITH...but really no one in particular..either great or common..everyone gets the same amount of love from me regardless..except those who can't spell..big pet peeve..ebonics is one thing..so is computer lingo..but if you really are that simple..LEAVE MY PAGE IMMEDIATELY! How are you going to be on Myspace if you can't read let alone WRITE? GOOD LAWD...WORK IT OUT!!...but I digress,back to the matter at hand..
