About Me

I'm just another black man caught up in the mix trying to make a dollar out of fifteen cents.

My Interests

Da Butt

I'd like to meet:

My parents when they were younger. I'm pretty sure my dad was a cool muh'herbert. My mom was just a herb but I would love to see how she was as a young lady.

Music:

Common, Talib, Mos, Kanye, Luda, Amy Winehouse, Lily Allen, Donny Hathaway, Little Brother, Wu Tang

Movies:

Die Hard, The Last Castle, The Hunt for Red October, Desperado, Predator

Television:

The Office, Sportscenter, Seinfeld, and King of the Hill

Books:

I don't read much. I really like Blender Magazine. Maxim is alright. Peter Schrager writes some pretty entertaining articles for Fox Sports. Peter King is a solid football analyst.

Heroes:

My mom and brother. Tom Tinsley has certainly dropped mad knowledge on me over the years. I have a tremendous amount of respect for my cousin Maya for the way she's handled life's adversities. The Berry men get all kinds of props in my book. Uncle Danny impresses the hell out of me b/c he was able to deal with all his sisters.

Who steals?!

So I got out of the shower at the gym and noticed that my pants were on top of my shirt.  That's odd, I always put my shirt on top.  When I put on the pants I noticed that my wallet was in t...

Frump City

What is with women's fashion moving towards looking as frumpy as humanly possible?!  First it was the pregnancy shirts.  Then it was the frock dresses (which Redd Foxx would refer to as moth...
