About Me

Well, in a nutshell, I'm just an average Negro trying to do above average things. I've, of course, graduated from high school. I did the military thing, did the college thing, and now doing the law school thing - at Rutgers University (Newark). So as you can see my time is very, very, very limited. Hopefully, God willing, three years from now I'll be walking across that stage accepting a J.D. But until then, I'm just keeping my "eyebrows down" and staying on my grind. Generally, I'm a laid back guy who loves to joke around, play practical jokes, drink a little, party, read, write, listen to music, and chill. There are times, however, where I can be dead serious - especially when it comes to my family and friends, achieving my goals, completing my education, and staving off the temptation of ignorance.

My Interests

Reading, Government & Politics, Activism, Conversation with intelligent people, Listening to music, Going to the gym, Foreign people and cultures, and a whole host of other things I don't have time to mention right now.

I'd like to meet:

Basically, I'd like to meet people of like mind and goals, who value friendship and loyalty, who understand that ignorance is not bliss and education is the best way out of poverty (all kinds), and, on a lighter note, who know how to have fun and relax.View All Friends | View Blog | Add Comment
