About Me

So I've decided that to be just like everyone else is WAY overrated...so I'm thankfully different! I think trying to fit in and be what everyone has decided is socially acceptable makes you look stupid. God made each of us different and we should capitalize on those differences, not try to suppress them and be as much like the next person as possible...What else, well I LOVE to talk, hang out with my friends, travel and learn new things. I'm much too complicated to fit in this little section, so I suppose that's enough for now... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "They told you that beauty is in the eye of the beholder. What they failed to tell you is that it is best seen with the eyes closed. What you look like isn't important. What is important is who you are inside and the choices you are making in your life."

I'd like to meet:

.... ...The funniest commercial EVER!!! ;0)

Music:

I love all sorts of different music, but not necessarily every type. My alltime favorite type of music would have to be neo-soul, urban, r&B type music. I love artists like Erykah Badu, Jill Scott, India.Arie, Lauryn Hill, Musiq, Alicia Keys, John Legend, Anthony Hamilton, Rafael Saadiq, Kelly Price, Trey Songz, Donnell Jones, etc. I also listen to worship music, a bit of alternative and some other random samplings. (I also love local talent as well!)If it's got any true meaning and depth I'll probably like it. I hate music that has no point, no moral, no reason for being said, such a HUGE waste of my very valuable time!

Movies:

Too many to name really...let's see what has moved me of late... Something the Lord Made,Pursuit of Happyness, Spanglish, Disappearing Acts, What Dreams May Come, John Q, Something New, Pride & Prejudice, etc etc etc.

Television:

This one's a little random, since I don't have a tv but here goes...America's Next Top Model, Project Runway, Iron Chef America, most of the shows on the fashion network, any style oriented shows, HGTV and stuff like that. Random shows: Space Ghost from Coast to Coast, Powerpuff Girls, Animaniacs...

Books:

The Five People You Meet in Heaven, The Measure of a Man, I Don't Have Enough Faith to Be an Atheist, The Case for Christ, The Case for Faith, Beauty for Ashes, Mirror to America, Intimacy with God, Passion and Purity, the Scriptures, The Millionaire Mind, The Millionaire Next Door

Heroes:

My mother, John Hope Franklin, Mae Jemison, Harriet Tubman, Elisabeth Eliot, Wangari Maathai, Albert Einstein, Vivien Thomas, etc. Trailblazers and pioneers all over the world, in faith, education, business and every other aspect of life.

Crazy People

So people confuse me. Point blank. They typically do stupid stuff or stuff that has no explanation whatsoever. It really bothers me. I mean I know I'm not the sharpest pencil in the box, but I'm reaso...
