Mostly I'm here keeping in touch with friends and looking for music, but I'm not against meeting new people. . . one can never have too many friends right?

I love all kids of music, movies, kickin' it with my friends and family. I like sports (basketball, football, MMA and boxing mostly). Enjoyable conversation (deep or just flat out stupid it don't matter just be interesting dammit!!!) I enjoy reading and write a little. As a matter of fact I like to think of myself as a bit of a poet (although some of my friends disagree -- but SCREW THEM!! -- lol). What else? Oh yeah I almost forgot. . . it is impossible to live in Hawaii and not appreciate great food (we get it from all over the world!) There's lots more, but if I told you everything now there'd be no fun in getting to know me right?
Really? I'd like to meet all of my Myspace friends (and if you aren't one of my friends, but you're reading this and you're cool, I wanna meet you too (so send a friend request)....
I listen and appreciate just about EVERYTHING!!!!! From Eminem to George Strait, Placido Domingo to Pearl Jam, Brian Mc Knight to Atmosphere and Brother Ali. If I'm buying music it's usually hip-hop (but not that watered down bling rap you hear on the radio) or R&B and some country. My boss listens to a bunch of rock at the office so I'm getting re-aquainted with some of the great bands from the 70's - current!
I like lots of stuff from Gangster flicks: Boys n the hood, Menace II society, Scarface, Casino, Goodfellas, Juice, Set it Off, etc., to Romantic comedies (Yes, I said Romantic comedies) like Hitch, Love Actually, My Best Friend's Wedding, Pretty Woman, Two can play that Game, Brown Sugar, How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days etc. I also like straight up action flicks like Troy, Spider Man (2), Batman Begins was cool, and the Blade Trilogy The Warriors is CLASSIC! but at the same time I also dig good writing in a movie Like Finding Forester, The Hurricane, Ray, Million Dollar Baby, Love and Basketball and CLERKS!!! Hit me up and we'll talk movies some time. . . .Jam these 3 movies together and you pretty much got my life. . .

My Moms (both of them)and Dad, my friends (there is a reason we're friends)My employers (why not idolize successful, good people? with ...Tupac, Bob Marley, Iz, Victor Hugo. . . for finding ways to use your talents to effect people and move thier souls to action through the beauty of thoughtful words, wisdom and heart. We should all learn to do the same. . . . Kids loving unconditionally is something we should never outgrow, but sometimes the realities of the world strip away the innocence one needs to stay that way. Seeing someone who isn't jaded is a great way to keep yourself centered and positive.
