Grey Is Not An Option Today

About Me

I'm just "living". . . and in the meantime, trying to live with a purpose. . .Three quotes keep me going:"Everything happens for a reason,""Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I cannot accept, and the wisdom to know the difference," and""God grant me the serenity to accept the people I cannot change ... the courage to change the one I can ... and the wisdom to know it's Me."

My Interests

My 26th Bday... It was held at a karaoke spot that I use to promote...

CREATE YOUR OWN! - or - GET PAID TO TAKE SURVEYS!

Music:

From R&B to Alternative, a good song is a good song no matter what the genre. . . I have to admit, you won't hear classical or punk rock in my car, but if you get me in front of a live band, I most likely won't be able to sit still ;-) . . . Right now, I'm still really feeling India Arie's album from a few years ago, Voyage to India. My corney, old school side will always love Tevin Campbell's I'm Ready album, Tony Terry's "When I'm With You", High Five's "Kissing Games", and Total's "Kissing You" (OG and "Kissing You, Oh Honey" Remix). The song that means the most to me, though, is "The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill".

Movies:

I generally like most movies, however, comedies are my favorite...

Television:

I'm a Will & Grace, Friends, Everybody Loves Raymond, Just Shoot Me, That's So Raven (yes, I am a Disney Channel Fan and I am not ashamed to admit it), Parental Control, That 70's Show kinda girl. . . but um, the Flavor of Love and Top Model also have my attention...okay, and I'll admit that I'm giving I Love NY a chance... that child needs help!

Books:

I like fiction that imitates life the best, but in this day and age, the most practical books for me relate to steps toward gaining financial wealth.
