Well, I like to read (scroll down to see what I'm reading these days), plus I do a lil writing of my own... which is prolly why it irks me to write in 'net shorthand. lol Maybe one day I'll get published, but I have to actually finish what I write first.Music is such a big part of my life. Almost everyone in my family (brothers, mother, father) are musicians in some way. I'm stepping into that by learning the guitar, so watch out, we might be the next Jackson 5, yo. If you produce and you're looking for an older, 80s - early 90s R&B/Old Skool sound, hit me up. I got some songs you might like.Computers are big in my life, too. It's all part of my personality, I guess, since I'm so introverted. Anyway. I do modding, repair and stuff (like I said in the About Me blurb), so if you need your computer upgraded or fixed, don't be no stranger to my PMs, luv. ;)
I'd like to meet:
Jesus. And right after I meet Him, I would want to have a huge round table conversation with Martin Luther King Jr, Malcom X, Frederick Douglas, Kahlil Gibran Sojourner Truth, Tupac (yeah, that's if he actually made it to heaven, yo. I ain't making no long distance trips if you know what I mean).But I really don't think that answer was what mySpace had in mind, so I'ma address that real quick. What am I looking for in a man? A man. Confidence, Strength, Intelligence. Yeah, you don't have to be completely clean cut and in a business suit, but I'm really not feeling the gang thing. Lost too many friends like that, and it's childish. You know what the scripture says - "When I was a child I spoke as a child, I understood as a child and I thought as a child; but when I became a man I put away childish things."Consider that before you say that you're looking for a relationship, eh chulo?

Heroes:
My are made up of anyone that's willing to go against the grain. The ones that are better than they are, if you know what I mean. There are all kinds of stereotypes out here, dictating who we are supposed to be, what we're supposed to do, and what we are doomed to become.I respect anyone that can stand up and say no, this is who I am and you need to respect that or get out of my way.I also respect anyone that handles their business, people that know what they want to be and where they want to go, and are willing to hustle in order to reach that goal.That might sound simple or cliche, but you'd be surprised how many people claim to have that mentality, but turn out to be fakers. Posers. Pawns disguised as Kings and Queens. Feel what I'm saying?
