About Me

And I know, because of KRS One.... I'm goofy. And I will forever be on a bad KRS kick. I hosted a weekly hip-hop showcase called Mad Real Mondays that recently ended a 2 1/2 year stint. So at the moment i kinda feel like a fish outta water. I'm also a nanny, learning how to be a "big girl" by talking care of twin infants. I have no sense of time which usually gets me in trouble, as they say, timing is everything. Undeniably, I am a drunk-dialer, so please just spare me the embarrasement and don't give me your phone number. wink.

Check out my short movie on Grafitti in Columbia, MO.

It's called Writers Never Die.

My Interests

Any given Sunday, (which is usually my only day off) you'll prolly find me wondering around antique malls, flea markets, yard sales, or digging in the crates hunting records, hip-hop, soul, funk, old school, rock, etc. I love to take long drives in the country on a Sunday afternoon. I like to dance, meet new people, travel, camp, Shakespeare's pizza with peppercheese and Mexican food as authentic as I can get it at any given moment, fine red wine and good scotch, Red Stripe and a good margarita made with Cointreau. I LOVE St. Louis Baseball and Football and Hip Hop. And a bunch of other things too.

I'd like to meet:
