About Me



adopt your own virtual pet! MyGen Profile Generator MyGen Profile Generator MyGen Profile Generator MyGen Profile GeneratorI'm a 47 year old Christian RasTafari, living in Washington, DC. I have two grown children, and three grandchildren. I also have two foster sons, one in Zambia and one in Nigeria. I work as an Administrative Assistant, and I love to surf the net. One day I'm going to write my autobiography; I'm a recovering addict, and I think my story is one that might help someone else who is suffering as I did. Trying to quit (and stay quit)ain't easy at all.....

My Interests

Food...I'm a vegan, which works out great because I couldn't eat pork or shellfish anyway. I am definitely "Old Testament" Christian; I don't cut my hair (from the Book of Numbers)or believe that men should cut the "corners of their beard". I wear dreadlocs, as I am Rasta, but I cover them as part of my covenant with Jah. (God; the name 'Jah' is used in the Book of Psalms)

I'd like to meet:

any Christians, Rastafaris, or recovering addicts.

Music:

Music...gospel and reggae. I also like a lot of the contemporary Christian worship songs, but nothing beats good old down-home gospel.

Movies:

Movies...Let's see, I went to see The Gospel and cried; same thing with Diary of a Mad Black Woman and Woman Thou Art Loosed. (play and movie)My favorite of all time has got to be A Beautiful Life, with Roberto Beligni. It's an Italian film; I've seen both the original and the English versions, and I like the subtitled original best. I also like horror movies, and aliens, and for some reason I like movies like Faces of Death and The Executions, but I don't really like action movies. The Chronicles of Nardia was good too....

Television:

I don't watch a lot of television, but when I do it's usually Nickelodeon, Cartoon Network, The Oxygen Channel, or TV Land. Some specific shows I like would be Cold Case Files, or City Confidential. I also like watching The History Channel, Animal Planet, (sometimes) and Discovery.

Books:

I love to read; mainly Christian fiction and studying the Bible. I also like horror books; detective stories, and murder mysteries are high on my list too. My favorite books after the Bible would be The Left Behind Series, Frank E. Peretti's books, and anything by Stephen King.

Heroes:

Haile Selassie I; Bob Marley;

An update, and a bit of....an epiphany? a rant?

Been a while since I've updated my blogs; not only have I been really occupied with work and other things, but there really hasn't been anything new to add to what I've already said. I'm still looking...
