About Me

*about me* I like to think of myself as an aspiring writer (my blog will show you what I am capable of) and beatmaker (wait on it), but unfortunately the real world often gets in the way, so I find myself working a regular job on a daily basis, and doing the writing/music thing on the weekends and/or when time allows.The understatement of the century is that I am really into music and cars, one might call them my first and second loves respectively. I happened upon this thing for writing a few years back and have been writing short stories ever since, I have literally dozens written now, one that grew to a novel, but nothing published yet (because I am lazy). Weekends rarely see me outside of my house, since I am not into the club thing, and people LIKE to come to my house for everything I actually enjoy doing, my collections hold over 600 CDs and 200 DVDs. ... and my house is never without food or beer, so all that is needed is well at hand.I think I have friends, but to the casual outsider, we are a bunch of rowdy drunkard hooligans who insult each other in manners that SHOULD cause a fistfight. Sometimes we meet up and actually accomplish things, but usually the only accomplishment is intoxication. Sometimes I sit and wonder if anyone actually really likes me, it is at these very moments that I think about getting a room at a swank hotel downtown, getting butt nekkid, sitting down in the bathtub and swallowing my Browning .380 for the maidservice to come in the morning and find me in my birthday suit with the back of my head miss-- WAIT, I am not some crazy suicidal EMO kid. Besides, my death will be way better presented and have far better entertainment value and cinema. Preferred method will be an assassination in a public place, hopefully with little children present. Maybe my brains will even land on one of them and they will be scarred for life. I really shouldn't procreate, my children will be the sociopathic homicidal maniac that I sometimes dream that I am.Sure, there is more to me, but I am not the one to sit up and volunteer my entire life's story here, so I will leave you with what I have to this point, allow you to commit a large portion of me to your imagination, and you can surely ask me the rest.

My Interests

Cars (well, MY cars... *snip, sold that one* and 1989 Nissan 240SX), music, movies, women, writing, reading and generally anything else that I happen upon that holds my attention for more than 20 minutes....

I'd like to meet:

The Roots (Again, met them when I was 19) Common Buju Banton (again, met him September 2000 after a show) Chip Foose That chick I bumped into at the mall a few months back who was giving me action, but I was too busy/stupid to recognize.... and lastly, and most importantly, I would like a chance to sit and converse with both of my grandfathers, one passed when I was a baby and the other summer 2004....

Music:

I can honestly listen to about anything except for country, I love Jazz, ask me anything you want to know about Miles Davis, I grew up on hip hop and funk music, I learned later to love reggae and rock music, here recently I have been getting into some metal, but that is still a bit of a hard pill to swallow. My collection went over 650 discs and my computers hold about 70gigs each of music, so one can say that this is an area of special interest to me...

Movies:

Favorite movie, hands down, is "The Usual Suspects," but my list of favorites just after that are movies that no on will watch with me, because I know all the words, like Training Day, any of the Friday movies, Casino, Scarface (surprised?), Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, Boyz N The Hood, Menace II Society, New Jack City and many more, the list does go on, almost indefinitely....

Television:

Don't watch much television, I spend more time at my computers and with my music, my favorite shows that I DO watch, however, are Overhaulin', South Park, Aqua Teen Hunger Force, Family Guy, The Boondocks (gotta love the adult swim for that last 3), and various sports programming, especially basketball....

Books:

Far too many to name

Heroes:

I wonder....

    I wonder if she knows how much I appreciate her understanding my being the way I am, if only simply for the sake of "being the way I am".    I wonder if she knows tha...

February

Yeah, we're all well aware that February (that 'R' is not silent, BTW) is Black History Month, and I will not repeat that tired assessment that they gave us the shortest month on the calendar, even if...
