THE GRADUATE

About Me

Right now I am sitting on top of the world. Life is good I cant complain, gotta get on my optimistic grind. I am a recent graduate of Temple University as you can see by my tag name. I am representing this achievemnet to the fullest because it tells all the naysayers that we as black men can achieve. No statistics about how the number of black faces are increasing in prision. No sad stories about being a dead beat dad, Im living the BLACK AMERICAN DREAM. YOUNG, INTELLIGENT AND FLY, please respect that.Layout made by kayaachisuto at CreateBlog.com .

My Interests

Music of all types. All types of Art. History seen through a cultural perspective rather than ethnocentric.

I'd like to meet:

People who are thought provoking and challenge me to reach new heights!
