I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

Here is a brief bio: Currently, I'm in Miami getting another Masters at the University of Miami in Film Production. School and making movies keeps me busy, but in my spare time I like to workout, watch sports, network with people, go to the movies, work with a friend with his music stuff, and just hang out. A little about my personality: I'm stubborn, full of pride, but not conceited, God and family oriented, a social butterfly, strong minded, independent, loyal, goal setting, a perfectionist, goofy and dingy at times, and a hard worker, just to name a few. I am a strong person who has a strong sense of family and friendship.

My Interests

My interests are movies, music, and sports. I love to make movies, and all the aspects of making a movie, especially shooting and directing. I love to watch all sports. I will play pretty much whatever, and a pretty decent athlete :o). My favorite sports are track and field, gymnastics, soccer, basketball, and football. You will find me watching the , , , and the . I'm an adventurous person and like the outdoors. I like to hang out with my friends, hit up a club or a movie , or just kick back in the , making it a night.

I'd like to meet:

God

I'm on here to keep in contact with friends and family, and perhaps make new friends and connections (networking) along the way. If you have any questions or want to chat, hit me up. :o)

**Don't ask to be my friend if you aren't going to speak to me. I don't accept just anyone, and definitely won't accept someone that doesn't speak to me first....just thought I'd give ya'll a heads up! Thanks!**

Music:

I usually listen to r&b, some pop, and hiphop. I love all kinds of r&b, but lately I've been disappointed with the style of r&b that's out. These artists can't really sing, and all sound the same. I like the old style feel, like Donell Jones, Boyz2Men, Javier, Maxwell, Babyface, Mariah, Anthony Hamilton and of course G'Child...just to name a few. I'm not really into the rap/gansta rap (unless it's something to dance to in the club). I'm more into the true hiphop like Mos Def, Common, Tribe Called Quest, Dialated Peoples, Kanye, Outkast etc.

Movies:

I'm a movie buff. So I like comedies, dramas, horror, sci-fi, westerns, etc. I'm not too into the documentaries. Some of my favorite movies are: American History X, Goodfellas, Godfather, Crash, Shawshank Redemption, Erin Brockavich, Pelican Brief, Fallen, Menace to Society, A Time To Kill, I Am Sam, From Hell, My Bestfriend's Wedding, The Sweetest Thing, Xmen, Hitch, Bad Boys, Lethal Weapon, City of God, Notebook, Finding Forester, Remember the Titans, Brian's Song, Jackie Robinson Story, Jesse Owen Story, Jim Thorpe Story, Shindler's List, Glory, American Anthem, Tombstone, Love Jones, Love and Basketball, Goal, Boyz n the Hood, Passion of Christ, Departed, Deja Vu, and Apocolypto, just to name a few. When it comes to movies I'm real critical. I watch every detail in the making of the movie and the story line. Basically, I'm probably one of the worse people to go to the movies with, because I analayze them. :o)

Television:

CSI, Without A Trace, SportsCenter, House, Shark, Boondocks

Books:

The Bible, The Cage, Shawshank Redemption, Erin Brockavich, Pelican Brief...just to name a few.

Heroes:

My PARENTS and GRANDPARENTS for their life lessons, knowledge and being great role models to their family and friends.
I also admire my sister for her strong will, strength, and knowledge. My brother for putting up with some strict sisters and being such a smart and kind person.
