Putting the MAN in Romance since 1981...

About Me

Wow, I'm a lawyer now....it sounds so much more grown up than I really feel but it's true. SOMEhow passed that bar last year and have since been doing some temp and contract work here and there to make money until a job i'm really excited about comes along (don't hold your breath). Aside from that my life right now is as good as I can remember. I have the best friends in the world that can somehow make a weekend full of moving waytoofuckingheavy furniture funny and memorable (WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!). I'm in a great living situation with roommates who can actually pass for sane for the first time in a while so yeah...I really can't complain...oh and i'm trying my hand at the whole blog/creative writing thing, check out all the blogs from "i'm good at poker....strip poker not so much" to the present

My Interests

basketball, hip-hop, R&B, poker, movies, spoken word/poetry, football, reading, talking to people who actually know what they're talking about

I'd like to meet:

You want me to be honest?....OK, here goes........ First of all I'm tailoring this to women because i find it highly unlikely that i'ma make friends with guys on here i don't already know in real life. With that said, I want a woman who is many things, in no particular order: Be smart, be funny, be sarcastic, be driven, be confident, be goofy, be humble, know your worth, be a beautiful person inside and out, care about friends, care about family, don't be superficial, don't be ignorant, don't be condescending, don't be fake, care about the world, care about the underprivileged and unspoken, see the movie Crash, listen to hip hop, listen to R&B, love music, be passionate, be able to talk politics one minute and Chappelle's Show or Family Guy the next, stand up to ignorance (raise your hand if you've quit your job or cussed out a manager for being blatantly racist----*twice*).........I surround myself with wonderful people, men and women, who are all these things and if this is you too then i want to know you.....

Music:

Mos Def (Black on Both Sides is my favorite album.....EVER), The Roots (best live band, hands down), Jay-Z, Kanye West, D'angelo, Notorious B.I.G., J-Live, Coldplay, Radiohead, Little Brother, Brother Ali, Lupe Fiasco, The Clipse, Pharcyde, Slum Village, J DILLA (R.I.P.)

Movies:

8. Turning the digital page...

Now comes the turning point for me blog-wise. Up until this point I really haven't had to be all that creative. Most of the humor in the previous blogs was borne out of the facts of the stories them...
