About Me

Rocky live
..
Add to My Profile | More Videos I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4 on my epitaph, i would like, "SHE LOVED CATS!" lumbia the cat makes me quite happy, and i appreciate that she lets me into her life. anything from a STEVIE WONDER live performance, to hearing beverly sills to watching the final act of 'the elephant man' moves me to tears. my favourite instruments (and those that i play) are piano and drums. AND YES, I LOVE MIMES AND CLOWNS!!! it is very rare that i get an actual 'day off'- if i am not working to pay the bills i am volunteering, doing radio, going to meetings, or some activity that requires time... i hope in the end, it's all for the good of the living things... i want to learn as much as i can, before the opportuninity no longer arises that i can. i love children, and i love to make potato people, so i can give it to them... my one goal in life right now is to finish the book i've started. and to share whatever i've learned with others. Go Stevie Go

My Interests

Documentary film, film theory, spoken word, poetry, bicycles, cats, political theory (AND THEORY IS NOTHING WHEN YOU DON'T ACT UPON IT)-and yes, this goes with pan-africanism , warm sweaters on a cold night, kombucha and how to make it, the piano, the drums, percussion in general, intergenerational living, cooking, the social implications of hair, the colours of beetles, walking to the supermarket, going in, staring and just walking out, rearranging lyrics... and it goes on... OK, RIGHT NOW I LOVE RIDING THE SCHWINN BICYCLE WHOSE NAME IS MANOLO, I LOVE VOLUNTEERING/ACTIVE-ISM, I LOVE EATING/COOKING, I LOVE SPENDING TIME WITH LUMBIA THE CAT, I LOVE SITTING DOWN WITH A BOOK, ONE-ON-ONE CONVERSATIONS, WORKING IN RADIO PRODUCTION, WRITING LETTERS (so full of love), WRITING POETRY, WALKING AROUND, CREATING MUSIC, DEEJAYING/MAKING MIXED TAPES AND CDs... THESE ARE THINGS I ABSOLUTELY LOVE DOING RIGHT NOW.

I'd like to meet:

The world! When I wake up I say "hello, me!" and I eat some food and go out into the world, and me meets other folks. I'm always learning from others. And then I can meet me again and sleep until the next day. Stevie TalkBox

NINA, MARVIN, CURTIS,DONNY AND SO MANY OTHERS,THESE ARE MY ELDERS/ANCESTORS AND LIVE ON IN SPIRIT; STEVIE CARRIES ON THE TORCH! but... music is UNIVERSAL; a gift for all of us to share! --------------------okay... all i have been listening to is i assume, obvious!

Television:

i watch films i get from the library of video shop but i do not watch network television or cable television.

Books:

Walter Mosley is my favourite author, Johnny Got His Gun my favourite book. i essentally read a lot of political theory and biographies, but i am getting a little bit more into fiction. my favourite writer of poety and memoirs is nikki giovanni. but I love to read as much of everything as I can!!! I love books about cats, because I lovelove LOVE cats. locally-here in portland- my friend tiffany is an amazing poet, as well as rochell hart!

okay, first of all...  invincible's release was not the first time michael addressed the issue of racism.  if indeed his accusations against mattola was a media ploy, so beit.  mattola ...
