So this is inevitable withdrawl

About Me

God hooked me up with a beautiful life. All I really need is my family, my tunes and delicious food. I'm riding all the way with Obama in 2008, so hop on the train! I often miss my life living abroad, especially in Turkey. I'd give my left arm for a trip to any country in Africa(preferably Ghana).Eff Fox 'News': so blatantly racist and biased, the network disgusts me. I'm a self-professed music snob, so please, don't come at me with heinous music. I will spend a whole day watching French films or with my nose tucked in a book. Fiction or non-fiction, I'm entertained. I love middle-eastern cultures but I'm proud to be Black, Puerto Rican and Italian. Everything given to me in this life, whether good or bad has benefited me in some way and I thank God that I recognize this......I'm a straight up city girl, news junkie and die hard Erykah Badu fan. Bjork, too. Common, too...ah, too many to name. Riding the metro is a top hobby of mine. I really enjoy a glass of wine (or two. okay, five) Redwood Creek Pinot Grigio or Gallo Moscato when I want something sweet........I collect vinyls(but so does everyone else). I'm bright, but I've got A LOT more to learn. I think my mom gave me a dope name.
