I am here for Friends

About Me

I'm a med student in the NYC/JC area. I'm really laid back and usually cool with everybody I meet. In fact, the only person more laid back than me has gotta be MikeSong. I'm a hopeless Knicks and Nets fan who keeps thinking next year is our year. I love comedy in all its forms...whether its a movie or just crackin up at whatever situation I keep managing to find myself in. I'm fluent in 4 languages, currently trying to teach myself how to read and write Hindi... unsuccessfully though. I love helping my family and friends get along with each other, often finding it funny to sit back and observe the little nuances that make us all so....interesting.

My Interests

Playing/coaching basketball, playing my part in educating our youth through summer programs, meeting friends new and old, xbox, watching NBA and NFL

I'd like to meet:

I'd like to get to know some people a little better that I missed out on in the past... in some cases, I may have lost touch over time or I may have been too shy to get to know you earlier... I'll get to you all soon enough though...And since most people put celebs they wanna meet in this spot... I get my Free MySpace Layouts at MySpaceStop.com..

Music:

basically Rap and R&B... Sean-ah-Paul, Jay-Z, 2Pac, BIG, Snoop, Kanye, Talib Kweli, John Legend, Mos Def, F-a-b-o-l-o-u-s, everybody in Wu Tang, Chamillionaire, TI, Alicia, Alicia, Alicia, and ummm... did I mention Alicia Keys. Also some Caribbean and Hindi music sometimes to switch it up

Movies:

Oceans 11 & 12, Higher Learning, Above the Rim, Bad Boys 1 & 2, Friday, Next Friday, Die Hard, Mr. Deeds, All About the Benjamins, Dodgeball, Ice Age, Training Day, Undercover Brother, A Bronx Tale, Rush Hour 1 & 2, Juice, Blue Chips, Pirates of the Caribbean, Harold & Kumar ...... Indian movies= Munna Bhai MBBS (all time fave), Dil Chata Hai, Hum-Tum, KKHH, KHNH(oh you know its bad when u got acronyms!), anything with my boy the late "Mogambo" or of course Rani

Television:

Chappelle Show, Grey's Anatomy, MTV's Wild 'N Out, Scrubs, Lost, ER, Everybody Loves Raymond, CSI:miami, SVU, sports(nets, knicks, giants, jets.... yup, in that order)

Books:

The Little Prince, The Canterbury Tales, Hamlet, Tuesdays with Morrie, The God of Small Things, ESPN and SLAM magazine....

While we're talking about books, I like GRAMMAR. It seems nobody knows what's real anymore (i say this as a teacher who has read hundreds of papers over the past few years). You know what I'm talking about... here's a brief lesson... ------------------------
They're = contraction form of "they are"

Their = belonging to them

There = a place somewhere ------------------------
You're = contraction form of "you are"

Your = belonging to you ------------------------
Too = also

To = going towards something

Two = it's the number 2 ------------------------
You're all educated enough to use a computer, so please at least be conscious enough to not promote such ignorance on your page.

(more coming up later)

Heroes:

A small handful of special people that have helped guide me. I try to learn from their example
