My Interests

I like to read, write (see blogs), sing, play sports, watch sports, play PS2, be on Myspace all day everyday...the sports I play are softball, volleyball and basketball...the sports I watch are football, basketball and if you could by the background baseball..I also like to bowl and shoot pool though I haven't done that in a minute...I like chatting up with new and old friends...getting reacquainted and newly acquainted...I like watching movies, playing spades...whatever's clever.

I'd like to meet:

Cool people from my past and future.

Music:

Right now I'm feeling R&B and Hip-Hop...I listen to classical music when I'm trying to sleep, sometimes jazz...I am somewhat of a musical eclectic and can identify lots of stuff u would never think I knew about...

Movies:

Netflix provides me with a steady stream of movies so I have a wide range of things I like to watch...the best foreign film I've seen recently is Cidade de Deus (City of God), drama Requiem for a Dream, comedy The Wedding Crashers...haven't seen a good action film recently...Lucky Number Slevin was cool...

Television:

the aforementioned Netflix helped me watch 3 seasons of Lois and Clark: The New Adventures of Superman...I don't watch normal TV anymore until the company I work for comes and installs my free cable (once I pay this old bill I owe them)

Books:

Bible...anything by Chinua Achebe, James Baldwin, Zora Neale Hurston, Alice Walker...have a few books by T.D. Jakes, E. Bernard Jordan...like to read on Black history, classic Harlem Renaissance works, biographies...

Heroes:

I'm not one to say that I have heroes but I've always admired my grandfather...84 with his wits still about him, survived crashing his car head on with a telephone pole, cancer, and being full of elderly wisdom despite an elementary school education...
