About Me

no han sido facil. IF I EVER COACHED, MANAGED, WENT TO THE CARIBBEAN, WORKED ON A PROJECT, SAT IN A LECTURE OR PLAYED BALL WITH YOU OR YOUR KIN, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE LET ME KNOW THAT YOU'RE DOING WELL, and WHAT YOU'RE UP TO and IF I WAS TOO HARD ON YOU AS A COACH ;)! YOU ARE MY PEOPLE AND MY FRIENDS. IT'S WHY I'M HERE. IF YOU EVER DECEIVED AND STOLE FROM MY KIN (die slow you m.f.), NEVER MET NANN ONE OF MY MANY SISTERS, OR DON'T EVEN KNOW THAT I'M NOT REALLY BLACK AND DEFINITELY NOT A REPUBLICAN (IT'S A FRRRREAKING METAPHOR) YET REMAIN A STALWART CAPITALIST, THEN YOU'RE NOT REMOTELY MY FRIEND AND I'M SO COOL ON YOU, SON.i'm currently in a love-hate with myspace and the iPod. because of the two, we no longer have to ever socialize with another human being EVER again. this can't be good. but i can't get enough.this is from like 3.5 years ago------- the old tina is wood. i am no martyr i never claimed to be. but i am soon approaching my thirties and have undeniably changed my ways. i have no luxury car but alas i have no car note. my rent (to be where it's at) is well below the additional income i receive from owning property on the east side of detroit. my daily arrears are well below that from my meager, supplemental income of coaching high school girls year-round because i shop at food basics and bring my own bag, or else i split costco's with my people. my supp. income also serves dual purpose as my meaningful contribution to society since "young ladies are underserved of female role models." i'm very careful where my money and time go now. i won't pay the bank to hold on to my hard-earned cho (overdrafts used to get the best of me) but now i loan to those that need. (p.s. the ferndale bond issue just passed...hint hint)the irony in the gemini is that while i may fall asleep to BET's uncut, i awake to the bloomberg report. i used to throw back a pint of cognac, now i won't drink. i am, however, interested in lowering my blood pressure and red wine is purportedly helpful, que no? i will lick any cake clean of frosting (no metaphor) but i am in training for a full triathalon. did a sprint triathalon and loved it. the tri is my next short-term egocentric goal. i'm being educated at the number one public b-school in the nation in the hopes of learning how to make money. but not for the people who have money, for the people who need a bigger slice of the pie - the people who had separate drinking fountains no less than half a century ago. i'm not trying to add more clutter to this messy world with my 9-to-5.

My Interests

:::amar sin ser amada::: sorry, i know this is right on top of my song, but this is the only way i can stream it, in order to listen at work. does it worry you that i listen to all these jawns while i'm valuing m & a?! (oh allah. now i'm really starting to miss the d. the real d. not the semi-shiny one people visit on the weekends. remember lush on wed? or the corner in st. andrews on fri, in mid-90's? cafe mahogany? alvin's on wed? or even godforsaken cotillion club on sun? fukkin cactus club on sat? the buddha and northern lites on tues? even bookies? i may have complained at the time, but you know NOW i miss them shits. those who know KNOW. and they never knew that they were 'kind of a big deal.' i miss it)

I'd like to meet:

george galloway for never wavering, noam chomsky for being so logical (highly underrated), T.I. just 'cuz of his swagger, jack welch for being a genius, steve jobs for fooling all of america into feverishly buying ALL his failures in the form of his successes, henry ford for changing the world so much in so little time, ann coulter is off the chain, misa hylton-brim for being the baddest blasian- WALA she kills kimora lee, and dah-dee yankee. mark twain and eudora welty for telling it like it is.

Music:

fucking rap, straight up shoot-em-up-bitches-and-hoes rap, yeah i said it-pref'ly old too short and cube; bachata, merengue, salsa, vals y rrrreggaeton; and i'm still waiting for new jack swing to resurrect itself-whaddup guy; and when music makes me earl like a mutha, which is quite often as of late, well then: Wendy Williams and NPR-i still don't get what iPod ppl do w/out NPR, til the iPodFM comes out

Movies:

singles (i was nowhere near your neighborhood), prime (you'd be in brooklyn, sam. you'd be in brooklyn), cable guy (let's see what you got, white shadow) , out of sight (the sign says 'shut the fuck up' or can't you read?!) , coming to america (dat boy sound goo-ood. uh.huh.good and terrible ) , FYOV (forty-year-old-berrr-geeen, as filipineers would say) (do you ever notice how... like, in a relationship... one person's always like "blah blah blah blah" and the other person's like "what are you talkin about?" and one person's like "blah blah blalablah..." ) , in her shoes (and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart. i carry your heart, i carry it in my heart.) , goodfellas (as far back as i can remember i always wanted to be a gangster) , waiting for guffman (libby mae: i'd like to maybe meet some guys, some Italian guys, you know... watch TV and stuff.) , one fine day (i just want to find a fish who isn't afraid of my dark chocolate layer... and of course she'd have to love my cookie too) , belly (i might have to drop 'em... might have to drop a dime on them niggas know-what-i'm-sayin'? i don't like that shit... i don't like that shit" ) and a bronx tale (it was great to be catholic and go to confession. you could start over every week.) , and hitch was nice, too

Television:

all NFL, NCAA hoops and some NBA, the sopranos is my life story, the first 48, CSPAN books to see how the enemy thinks, L & O SVU.unfortunately in my unemployededness i just got hooked on entourage, the wire, nip/tuck, and flavor of love. fucking terrific. but to complement my bloomberg and jim kramer.

Books:

norton's anthology of african american literature, random family, death at an early age, savage inequalities, i know this much is true, come hell or high water: hurricane katrina and the color of disaster, naked and the elf stories that sedaris wrote is sweet too (thx amanda), a. walker's advancing luna and ida b. wells and gaines' the sky is gray are the best short stories ever.

Heroes:

anyone who has the balls to venture outside of their socioeconomic class. think about it...

So if Vicks non-football crime got him booted from the league, what about Brady and Belichick?

That's what I thought...Well I'm already prepared to hear arguments ranging from how one crime has many many defenseless victims to how one crime is a misunderstanding of league policy and it's a new ...

My love is long for both animals and white boys.

And especially if they are brutally victimized.With that said, can someone tell me why the Jena 6 is not covered as much as Mike Vick? They both involve the elements of taboo, but very-much-alive pas...
