Hmmmmmmmmm... At one time I was a really hard core party animal for real but those days are behind me. I'm digging on other things now like poetry,writing short stories (currently expanding my horizons in attempting to write a novel),just about all kinds of music (love open mics and karaoke - you can get your sing on and not get booed off like the Apollo),bowling(when possible...I was pretty good back in the day),PS2 pseudo- junkie,pool( the billiards type - I can't swim a lick!)and anything fun(preferrably something that doesnt get you arrested or put on either Real TV or America's Funniest Home Videos...can you imagine that??). I'm really getting into blogging now. It helps you to be able to express your feelings. I have always had an interest in photography but lack the knowledge.I would love to take pics with a 35mm camera setup or have fun in the digital world so if there are any photographers out there willing to train a novice, please let me know!
I'd like to meet my old friends and "Family" from Music & Art / Performing Arts/ La Guardia High School in New York City. If you are here in MySpace, holla at your boy here...I wanna here from you!If you are looking to add me to your friends list just to promote your music site...MOVE ON! IF YOU ARE TRYING TO PROMOTE A PORNO PAGE PLEASE DON'T BOTHER TO ASK ME TO BE A FRIEND! To all my real people... what are you waiting for people?? HOLLA BACK! I don't bite...really! ;)
I can get into mostly any kind of music but my favorites are R&B( old skool' stuff and some current artists),Hip- Hop( not Rap, Hip-Hop...there is a difference!!!), Jazz of many styles ( but I dig fusion and Latin jazz a whole lot!)Peace and blessings to Quincy Jones, Herbie Hancock, Billy Cobham, Chick Corea and the greats Miles Davis and Dizzy gilespie,Classical( every once in a blue moon),Merengue y Salsa( viva Marc Anthony,Johnny Ventura and Tito Puente - may God bless his soul)even if I can't understand the words...I can still love the music,Old School Reggae,House Music ( long live Paradise Garage - RIP Larry Levan and the Shelter,Sound Factory and Level 10 ), Freestyle, Gospel and anything with a funky beat. I hope to one day own every album/CD that Prince has ever made to this point(I'd better get cracking).I will listen to anything once as long as its cool and I can groove to it...
I really get into Kung-Fu and Karate flicks( Rest in Peace Bruce Lee ! - Long live Jet Li for holding up the true Kung Fu styles!)I like Michelle Yeoh and Ziyi Zhang too...they can kick but!!! Action,Sci-Fi,some Japanese Anime,old Godzilla movies( I'm still a kid at heart) or anything with a good storyline to it. I'll even sit through a chick flick if it has a good story line...maybe!( You gotta stuff me with popcorn, juice and Nachos so that I can't get out of the seat!) I love the new computer animated movies (Ice Age, Monsters Inc., Finding Nemo, Shark Tale, Shrek 1 and 2, Lilo and Stitch) along with the other cartoon movies that have come out ( I can watch Who Framed Roger Rabbit or old Looney Tunes for days....its a riot! )
What can I say???IM A GUY SO SUE ME!!! I like Pimp My Ride, American Chopper,Overhaulin',Cartoon Network,Food Network( Emeril Lagasse is a food god - love the Iron Chefs), The National Geographic Channel, BET Comic View(those guys and girls are hysterical !!!), KNICKS games( We may have a shot at the playoffs this year...I hope! ), New York Yankee games(we'll get 'em this year!) , and the Discovery Channel(you know I have to stay knowledgeable). The Cartoon Channel or Boomerang is a favorite in my house so when Tom and Jerry, Looney Toons or the Superfriends come on...DON'T BUG US!!!! If we are watching Thundercats( I just got the 1st season and 1/2 of the second season on DVD) then you might have to wait for awhile to talk to anyone here. We get zoned out! Thundercats...HOOOOOOOOOOOOO! I love ESPN Sportscenter too( gotta keep up with the sports scene - Stewart Scott and Scott Van Pelt are a bugout! ).object width="425" height="350"THE OLD SKOOL DUNK MASTERTHE NEW SKOOL DUNK MASTER
I'm a bookworm sometimes. I don't have a particular author that I read but the ones that have caught my interest over time have been Alex Hailey(gotta read "Roots" and then see the series) Eric Jerome Dickey, Jean M.Auel, Toni Morrison, Bebe Moore Campbell, Donald Goines and Walter Mosley. If you do have any suggestions on some good reading, feel free to drop me a line and let me know.I am an aspiring author myself so you can say you knew me when if/when I ever get published.
First and foremost always GOD (of course!),My Mother and my Grandad( Rest In Peace guys - I love you!) for helping me to grow up to be a good man,my Grandmothers ( both living and in Heaven ),my Auntie Joan( love you Yaya!), My Auntie Jean,Aunt Nancy,the men and women of our Armed Forces protecting us overseas in Iraq, Afghanistan and abroad. You are an inspiration to everyone fighting in a war we never wanted! God bless you all! May God bring you home safely to your loved ones!! Martin Luther King for opening up the doorway to have us interact with each other so we can be looked up as human beings and not just a color or religion, my favorite teachers from Kindergarten to 12th grade to help shape and mold me to understand more about life, and saving the best for last, my loving crazy wife and daughter for putting up with me everyday and still loving me for me!
