Seriously--DON'T ADD ME if we have nothing in common!" ..

About Me

I love to read, write and sing. Growing up, I couldn't decide which I loved more! Throughout my life and career, I've done a combination of both. I've done the corporate thing, but what I've found out after years of self-discovery, is that it's NOT FOR ME! I don't want to be confined to a cubicle or office all day. Looking out of an office window, I always felt like life was passing me by! I don't think I've ever gotten used to the idea of losing summer vacation!Currently, I'm an elementary school teacher by day, and a singer, songwriter, editor, publicist by night. Although teaching is rewarding, I don't envision myself doing this all my life. I would prefer to be doing something creative!!!Layout< this layout is from whateverlife.com!Contact TableOnline NowExtended NetworkScrolling sign .. .. .... ....

My Interests

I love to sing,write songs,(stories, poems,etc). I also play piano-- used to play the flute when I was younger. I come from a very musical family. My Dad was in a band in the 70's called "Exit 9". (Leather pants, afros, and all that!) I think that's where I got my love of music. I used to "perform" for my family all the time! Me and my sister would put towels on our head to make "white girl hair", and then sing Natalie Cole and Chaka Khan.

I'd like to meet:

Authors, Poets,Writers, Producers, Singers, Rappers,Models, etc. People I can collaborate with on the business side. If you are looking for an editor, you need to contact me!! I can spot errors that even the best of writers miss.... If you need someone to write your bio, contact me.Oh yeah, I also want to meet Eric Benet... again. He is my favorite singer. (I guess now u know where I got my ID name). Met him once in 1998, and he was reaal cool. ******************************** MOST IMPORTANTLY, I want a REAL RELATIONSHIP with open and honest communication. The most important element is trust, and that can only be established with communication. I would prefer to be with someone attractive, athletic, educated and polite that has good conversation. If you are quick-tempered, hot-headed and unreasonable, I'm not interested.

Music:

Neo-soul, hip hop, reggae, r and b, old school 70's and 80's,and of course 90's, house, jazz,lounge, world,alternative,salsa, samba, brazilian, ... I can listen to just about anything, but I prefer to BUY artists who get little or NO airplay. I love to "discover" new artists!! The only kind of music I DON'T like is REGGAETON!!! What is THAT??? I hate it!Favorites include: Eric Benet, Chico Debarge,(and anything by anyone in the Debarge family, including Switch), Raheem Devaughn, Conya Doss, Amel Larrieux,N.E.R.D., Pharrell Williams, Eric Roberson, Olu, Lizz Fields,("Silent Symphony","Gotta Go",love her!!) Lina, Sy Smith, Earth, Wind and Fire,Ohio Players, Sean Paul,Amp Fiddler, Renee Neufville, Jean Norris, Erykah Badu,Javier, Cherokee (She hasn't made an album in FOREVER, but her "I Love you...Me" was one of my all-time favorites),Laurnea, Maxwell, Van Hunt,Les Nubians,Martin Luther!!!! Dwele, Calvin Richardson,Omar, Maxi Priest, Vikter Duplaix,Haak Blast, Malik B, The Roots, Musiq,Angie Stone, Raphael Saadiq, Lucy Pearl, New Edition, Michael Jackson, Prince, Tribe Called Quest, Q-Tip, Main Source, Digable Planets, Cameo,Steel Pulse, The Marleys, TLC,Kindred,jazzyfatnastees, India Arie, Living Colour, Goapele,Gnarls Barkley,Platinum Pied Pipers, Kim Hill, Incognito, N'Dea Davenport, Anthony David, Guy, Al B. Sure,Geno Young,King Britt and I still love Lauryn Hill.In short, I'm a fan of REAL music...In high school, I was a big fan of "Dancin On Air", so I have a real appreciation for 80's artists like Pat Benetar, Hall and Oates, Bon Jovi,The Jets, Madonna, Five Star, Jody Watley,George Michael, Duran Duran, Cyndi Lauper, Queen, etc.Some artists I'm feeling on myspace are: Dyshon, Jehli... think Les Nubian... her style is hot! Booker Moon... Eric Benet's got some competition, 'nuff said.I've always thought you can base relationships off of whether or not you and someone else share similar musical tastes. Meaning, I get along better with people who are like me-- open-minded and experimental. I hate one-dimensional people who only like one genre of music. This just tells me you're scared to be who you are! Life must be so boring for you people!!

Movies:

School Daze,(I know the whole movie by heart!) Bamboozled, Ferris Bueller's Day Off, Poltergeist, Old School,(and most Vince Vaughn movies) Napoleon Dynamite, Tsotsi, City of Gods, Maria Full of Grace, Basquiat, Trois, The Sound of Music! I love musicals! I also love indie films. One movie I would really recommend is Bejing Bicycle.

Television:

American Idol, Run's House, Making the Band 3, College Hill, Lifetime movies, America's Next Top Model, The Apprentice, Nancy Grace, Headliners and Legends, Dateline, 20/20, The View. (Before Star Jones left... )Flavor of Love. (That is some serious buffoonery there, but I have to admit it's entertaining!!!)

Books:

"The Coldest Winter Ever" (I know it's old, but to me, it was the best in the "ghetto" genre, Jackie Collins books, u know what? There's too many to name... I'll complete this section later. I am an AVID reader!!!!! So much of a bookworm, I'm almost a nerd.
