Soukous/Makossa/Ndombolo (awilo longomba), Coupe-Decale (Doug saga), Kwaito (tkzee), Danchall, Reggae, Brazilian Axe (ie: Timbalada, Olodum); Musica da Capoeira (gets me in the mood to play every time); Samba, Pagode (more of Pago-dart) ; Real Hip-Hop: When it comes to Rap (mostly early-mid 90's, from back in the 80's too; i aint really feelin that new mainstream shit they got on the radio nowadays... ; R&B (old school and new) ; Funk ; Arabic and Persian music, I even used to listen to a techno (still do every now and then),
Basically, I'm down for *ANYTHING WITH SOUL.... ......

..

Movies:

............................................

Television:

used to watch it all tha time.... now I'm tryin to stay away from it as much as possible... ask me why if you really need to know

Books:

I read a lotta "how to" books. Into things that stimulate my mind.... books about things you dont see often.... or never bother to think about.... anything else is just "writing" to me. - I write my "thoughts" in the form of poetry... maybe it'll be a book one day...

Heroes:

Baha'u'llah (paved the way), My Brotha (an inspiration), All Baha'i Martyrs, My Dad (a stong man of heart), Bruce Lee, Michael Jackson,

those who ispire me:
ie: Musicians, Poets, best friends (inspire me to be a better person),

...and anyone and everyone who told me I had potential... they gave me a lotta hope...
and to those who put me down, thank you too, it made me stronger.
