I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

I'm pretty blessed. Most of the people that I know think highly of me and think the world of me. That makes me feel good. The only problem is, I don't think I'm that great.

My Interests

The purpose of life...Um...ok, so...I'm in this mood where I'm thinking about stuff, probably too much and I'm like, there HAS to be a reason for each one of us to be here, even if it is to die and for our death to have an effect on someone else, even if it is for us to be miserable and to have someone else see us in our misery and decide that they will not allow themselves to suffer that sort of misery, so i'm like...what is my purpose? i wish someone/thing could just tell me already so that i could stop trying to figure it out, all these damn mysteries... BUT i know one thing is for sure, i need someone to bounce all these ideas off of soon b/c writing them on myspace is kinda stupid

I'd like to meet:

Stephen Colbert-Keifer Sutherland-Al Pacino-Seth McFarlane-Brett Favre-Bill Cosby-Ben Carson-Martin Lawrence-Chris Tucker-Dave Chappelle-The Wayans Family-Conan O'Brien-Eddie Griffin-Rod Serling-anyone who can engage me in intellectually stimulating convo

That's my boy Ryan's site...if you want professional pics, hit em up, he's a good guy.

Television:

i do enjoy tv, not all tv, but quite a few key shows...these shows are as follows: family guy, 24, i love lucy, the boondocks, sanford and son, the twilight zone, entourage, the cosby show, the fresh prince of bel-air, the wayans bros., the steve harvey show and martin...i must tune in whenever these shows air, especially for new episodes...and if anyone hasn't see them, they need to...seriously, you need toand i watch the colbert report and real time w/ bill maher for stuff that is hilarious, yet not void of any political substance...and the newest additions...Heroes, Scrubs, Rescue Me and The Office...Best show in TV right now...TOP GEAR...gotta love the cars man.

Books:

I decided to update my book list b/c those other ones were fillers just so I looked like I read. But lately I've actually been reading some stuff. The latest I've read was Evolution and Christian Faith by Roughgarden and Dumbing Us Down: The Hidden Curriculum of Compulsory Schooling by Gatto. I'm currently reading Democracy Matters by a great man, Cornel West, The Man Who Tasted Shapes and Team of Rivals (a book about one of America's greatest presidents, Abraham Lincoln). Stephen Colbert's I Am America and So Can You! I edited my profile at Freeweblayouts.net , check out these Myspace Layouts!

Heroes:

right about now...i'm not sure.

complacency

To some, I probably seem like I'm always happy and that I'm slow, laid-back and just going with the flow. But, if you really know me, you most certainly know that that is not the case and that 99.9% o...
