Jamil

A Black Man in Space

About Me

I dream in possibliities, bathe in music, floss with words, snack on irony, wear my heart on my sleeve, work at being a better person, party like it's 1999, dine on the hope for a better tommorow, recline in the comforts of my friendships, sleep like nothing can harm my spirit and wake up the next day to do it all over again.....
