I'm back to me

About Me

I am the last of a dying breed. A true Hip-Hop fan/supporter. A family man. An all-round stand up dude. President of the Charles Oakley fan club. (just kidding about the last one.)

My Interests

Music & Movies

I'd like to meet:

Famous People: Joss Whedon, Andre Braugher, The Mythbusters, Scarface, The GZA, Slick Rick, Sheena Lester, Oprah, Michael Wilbon, Tony Kornheiser, Charles Oakley, Charles Barkley & Sade

Regular People: "Nerds," "Geeks," and "Losers" (cuz those are the people who usually aren't scared to be themselves.) Also, Hip-Hop fans, actually music fans period. People who are passionate about their interests. Anyone I can learn from...

Music:

This would take all day to name all of the groups & artists I enjoy listening to. Let's just say I listen to everything, and yes, that includes country music.

Movies:

I like too many movies too...even the "chick flicks." I can't stand dumbass comedies tho, especially movies like Norbit & White Chicks

Television:

Heroes, Mythbusters, NBA, NFL, the History Channel, The Daily Show, The Colbert Report, Headline News, Fox News, All of the Law & Orders, Without A Trace, Around The Horn, Pardon the Interruption, Sportscenter, VH1 Specials, Top Chef, uhm...that's pretty much all the stuff I watch regularly. I buy a lot of TV series on DVD tho...

Books:

The Bible, The Souls of Black Folks, The Isis Papers, The Prince, The Republic, The Art of War are personal favorites. I prefer non-fiction, particularly books about theory & history. I need to start reading more. My girlfriend got me a book on what makes music enjoyable that I really need to read.

Heroes:

Ossie Davis
