I like a lot of random things, like pretending to shop at Sephora for makeup with no intention of buying anything (cuz my ladies know it's all about M.A.C!), coffee, long conversations with close friends, road trips (no matter how short or how long), my gray Nike sweatpants, ridin da bus, used bookstores, new CDs, walkin around downtown sf or da Mission, shopping, concerts, magazines, that "getting to know each other" phase, big earrings (especially hoops!), Timbs on a well-groomed guy, DRAWING, and writing :)

I'm not very open-minded when it comes to music. There are a few exceptions, but generally I dont like none of that punk-rock or pop shit. I'm strictly a hip-hop and r&b fan. More specifically, i like Nas, Jay-Z (seen these last 2 in concert and though Nas is my overall favorite, Jay KILLED it on stage), 2Pac, Biggie, Jodeci, Mary J. Blige, A.Keys, Musiq, Aaliyah, Mint Condition, Guy, SWV, 112, John Legend, Common, Mos Def, Beyonce, Barry White, Johnny Gill, Freddie Jackson, Gladys Knight, Chaka Khan, D'Angelo, Keak da Sneak, Luther Vandross, india.arie, Raphael Saadiq, Tony! Toni! Tone!, Zapp & Roger, Smokey Robinson, David Banner, Stevie Wonder, bay area shit, random r&b songs from the '70s and '80s, and more. Oh and how can i forget--KEYSHIA COLE!! I love her, she is as real as it gets AND she can blow. My 2 favorite songs from her album are "You've Changed" (response to Jay'Z's "Song Cry") and "Never."That's right, I saw her live @ The Grand :DOther new artists I love: Ne-Yo and Chris Brown
above the rim, juice, mi familia, amelie, antwon fisher, the wedding singer, the wood, classic Disney movies (Aladdin, Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, etc), remember the titans, love and basketball, and almost all other football- or basketball-related movies
Project Runway [I'm rooting for Michael!!], Best Week Ever, The Simpsons, Family Guy, Steve Harvey Show (i dont care if it's old!), fashioin or interior design shows, Flavor of Love, BET, baseball and football, but Sex and the City is my overall favorite
Snow Falling on Cedars, Like Water For Chocolate, She's Come Undone, In The Time of the Butterflies, Angela's Ashes, Parrot In the Oven, and anything on psychology (cuz i'm a nerd like that, haha)
I don't have heroes, but I do have people whom I admire. In no particular order: 1) My dad, for always working towards new goals and achieving them. I'm so proud of you; 2) My mom, who loves unconditionally; 3) To my parents as a single unit, because they epitomize what love should be. Do marriages like this still exist?? And also for being the humble people they are; 4) Tia Alba - I don't know of a braver woman.
