About Me

"DOORS OPEN AT 8:00 PM AND CONCERT BEGINS AT 8:30PM.
Get all your HOT LIKE FIRE FANATICS and let's retire this thing RIGHT !!!!
Who is me? THAT indeed is the million dollar question, but from where I sit today here are the facts:I have a moderately large vocabulary. I have always had an above average capacity for reading comprehension. I have been reading since I was 4 and I love words. I don't apologize for that.I have been saved basically my whole life. I grew up never having to be "made" to go to church. I have liked church and had a very strong moral compass my whole life. I haven't been perfect by any means, but I've always desired to walk with God and to be "right". I don't apologize for that.I am naturally gifted. God really has given me grace to do quite a few things well. I can sing, write, administrate, think critically, speak and lead. I don't claim to be the best, but my mediocre can at times exceed the best effort of others. I don't say this boastfully because this only makes me lazy because people don't typically push me to work hard. But, God has given me some gifts. I don't apologize for that.I am relatively intelligent. I don't know that I'm as smart as people think. I think because I have a good vocabulary and can articulate my thoughts that it makes people think I'm smarter than I am. However, I do realize I'm a pretty smart chick. I don't apologize for that.If you don't know me, this may all sound arrogant and crass, but you know what? I don't care. Right now at 11:56pm I'm just tired of apologizing. This is who I am. And I am going to make mistakes. I have and I do. I have not been nor will I be the best friend. I have and will again say the wrong thing or not say the right thing. I will smile when you think I should frown and vice versa and I will show no emotion at all when you think I should be doing cartwheels. But I'm not going to apologize for that anymore. This is who I am. Do you really want to know me?

Glitter Graphics
Myspace LayoutsReading--although it's almost in theory only these days. My attention span won't let me read like I used to. Music--I love good music. Thoughtful lyrics and complimentary harmonies I love the best. People and what makes them tick--if sociology paid more that's so what I'd be doing for a living. TV--I know it's not very intellectual but I LOVE IT Plays, good restaurants, shopping and anything black culture--being that I've been raised mostly in the land of all that is white-washed and politically correct.

I'd like to meet:

Oprah--except I don't want to just meet her I want to have a conversation with her. I did kinda almost meet her in July. I was a foot away from Stedman at the Eli's Cheesecake stand in Midway Airport.Barak Obama, Maya Angelou, Denzel Washington, Susan Taylor, Musiq, Jill Scott, Nancy Wilson, my mother when she was a teenager...I'm sure there's more. I'll update this as I think of 'em.

Music:

Did I mention that I love it? Gospel, Jazz, neo-soul, old school R&B consistently. Me and hip-hop have mostly had a parting of ways but from time to time there will be something I can both bob my head to and sing along with and not feel like I need to bathe afterwards. I like all kinds of stuff as long as the lyrics are thoughtful, respectable and the music tickles my ears. Heck, even an ocassional country song will slip through.

Movies:

Gosh so many... Love Jones, Love & Basketball, Brown Sugar, Boomerang (basically I'm a sucker for all the black comedy/love stories) What About Bob? Vacation (all of them), Breakin' (one), Lady Sings the Blues, The Autobiography of Miss Jane Pittman, School of Rock, Talledega Nights, All of Chris Farley's movies, I mean the list could go on for quite a while so I'm gonna stop here.

Television:

I must've been under a rock but I am just now getting hip to Will & Grace. I'm loving it! Jack is the funniest! Oprah, Girlfriends, The Game, All of Us, NCIS, CSI--all of them, Law & Order:SVU, ANTM, Ugly Betty, Sleeper Cell--check it out! Weeds, Desperate Housewives, Extreme Home Makeover, Family Guy and occassionally Grey's Anatomy. Whew! That's a lot and that's not even all. Thank God for my DVR.

Books:

Anything by Maya Angelou--I love the way she writes. Other than that I don't read enough anymore to have a booklist. I know it's a shame. Oh yeah and the good 'ol B-I-B-L-E. I absolutely don't read it enough but I believe and know it to be true and alive.

Heroes:

I don't think I have any actually. The word hero is so strong. But I guess there are definitely people I look up to and admire and respect. That list would be (in no particular order): Lina Thompson, Michelle Lang, My dad, My mom, Bobby Martin--dang, I already see this list is going to be too long. I am incredibly blessed to have a lot of phenomenal people around me in my every day life. I can't begin to list them all. I'm gonna have to work on this later.

Sunday, SUNDAY!

I don't know what it is about Sunday. My days can start off just as lovely--singing and laughing--but somehow by the end of the day I feel like crap. I mean like, "my-life-is-a-mess-I-need-to-see...

A world without a youthworker

Today I went to a funeral. Four uniformed pall bearers escorted my friend to the front of the room where he then stood for two hours listening to his eulogy. Yet all the accolades that were read, all...

Insomnia

Why am I up...again? This staying up all night is for the birds. Usually, this happens when I'm anxious or worried. I feel neither at this point. I have some work stuff on my mind, but nothing bad. A...
