"If you can meet triumph and disaster and treat those two imposters just the same"

About Me

First and foremost thanks for taking some time out your day to check out my page. I am Jamaican(repping Litchfield, Trelawny) and I came to America when I was 14. However I am not your stereotypical Jamaican. I am not violent,stubborn or emotional(a few may disagree),and I cannot dance to save my life(unless you count the two step and the alpha train as dancing) nor do I have dreads(and never will since mother nature aint have that no more).I know how to color coordinate(most of the time), I do not have 4.3 speed in the forty and I dont say hey mon after every sentence. Who the fuck really says that anyway. I attended New Brunswick High School (go Zebras) where I was a member of the state champion group two 4 x 400 meter relay team. I am a graduate of South Carolina State University. College life was one of the best experience in my life and I never understood how anyone would not want to experience that type of lifestyle and setting. While at school I pledged The Beta Delta Chapter of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity Inc. I pledged Spring 2000 and I am #15 of the 21 A.P.E. I also was a member of the quiz bowl team and participated in other miscellaenous activities. I currently work as an IT recruiter specifically with the ERP systems SAP,Oracle and Peoplesoft. My friends would describe me as their best friend, cool,very genuine,a gentleman,mellow and nonchalant but all that shit will change once you have violated my trust. My biggest vice would probably be that I am unforgiving(especially if someone I love has been disloyal) but I am learning to change (but its so hard). My goal is to be a better man, an assest to my people, family, race, country, friends and organizations I belong to, take care of my woman in everyway, to one day open my own independent consulting recruiting firm and be able to retire at the age of 50 to Jamaica financially independent.
