About Me

I'm a glass is half full type of guy born in the 70's and raised in the 80's. So I came up during an era of neighborhood games, Transformers, Gi Joe, and He Man (my collections were the illest). Though I have a total of 3 sisters and 1 brother, I was raised by myself so I spent a great ton of time sharpening my imagination to fight the boredom. I love God, my family, and couldn't make it through life without my friends (Im even blessed enough to have some of the same friends since 1st grade). My friends would probably describe me as funny, shy at times, weird, stylish, talented, and intelligent. I'm a lover of art, music, women, retro Nikes, comics, basketball (Midwest what!!!) good times, a good read, and a lovely sunset but not necessarily in that order. Thankful that Ive been equally exposed to inner city life and the upper crest of society as well. I like to keep myself highly aware of social issues and from time to time get off my azz and do something about them. I'm passionate about the arts and the power they have to speak directly to people's hearts. I'm just a laid back cat trying to learn from the lessons that life offers. Although my life has been rough at times I wouldn't trade it for the world because it makes me the person I am. You can check out my adventures at www.flickr.com/photos/mydiaspora99
