I'm a 33 year old Black man (African American, American of African Ancestry with a few other things mixed in, etc...) aka "A Brotha"!...lol I currently live in Buffalo, NY and I have lived here since 2001. I've never really enjoyed my stay because I've never really felt like I fit in up here. I've made some good friends but it will never be "home" to me! I've lived in a few places, but I was raised in Long Island, NY aka STRONG ISLAND!!! No matter where I live I will always rep for NYC and especially for Strong Island! "The City" (New York City - The five boroughs and an island) is and will always be "home" to me! I hope to back in NYC before the winter of 08'.I currently work a regular 9-5 (the graveyard shift), but I'm just finishing up my first screenplay. My passion is writing and I'm determined to see my mind's stories up on the big screen! I think that I might even write a book or two in the future. I used to rap back in the day and lately I've been really feeling like I want to express myself through spittin' lyrics again. I know alot of guys want to rap, but I feel like I've now grown enough and experienced enough in my life that I can bring something new to the scene. I'm not sure when I'll pursue it for real, but when/if I do I will be droppin' something hot! I embrace the hip-hop culture as a whole as my own, and I will always (despite the fact that the church is trying to say that it is evil)!I've come a long way in my life so far. I used to be a thug!!! I live that thug life (crime, guns, getting high [weed only], and just an all around negative lifestyle), but I decided back in 98' to leave that life alone. Unfortunately this was a decision I made after I got in trouble with the law and before I found faith (for those that think that brother's only change can be from jail house religion). A hard head makes a soft a$$, but I'm still standing, so life is good! It was the best choice I ever made in my life!!!I'm also a Christian...although I am far from being perfect. I don't consider myself "a good man"! I'm just a man trying to make good choices in life! My faith is in God...God the Father, God the Son - Jesus Christ, and God the Holy Spirit! As I grow spiritually I feel myself growing further away from "the church" and wanting to learn more about God on my own. I feel that church is a good place to get a basic foundation under your feet, to get good fellowship, and to have unified praise and worship, but I have truly gotten fed up with all of the church politics and hypocrisies. I've come to realize that people are just people!!! We are all with flaw and fault! Meaning that we all make mistakes and we all do wrong!! We should learn from our mistakes and we shouldn't revel in our wrongs, but NO ONE should act as if they are better than those who may take a little longer to grow into better people!Well I think that I've said enough and I hope that all who have read this bio (friends and visitors) have enjoyed getting to know a little more about me. Hopefully ya'll will want to reach out to me and we can get to know each other better.Peace and God Bless
