December '06 graduate of North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University - AGGIE PRIIIDE ! ! !
lol......but anywho....
Relocated to tha good ol' Tre-4 (as they call it i guess :-/ lol) in Feb. for a new job...and been here since...
So far, it's pretty str8....No major complaintz...
As for me more specifically, I'm a pretty down-to-earth sista.....with a strong mind and a positive attitude.....
I love meeting new people, going new places and trying new things - just all about versatility...creativity...and staying open to the possibilities, ya know?
I love writing, listening to music, hanging out with friends, reading, traveling, going bowling/skating/to the movies, hitting up the bar, cooking and many, many other things that come up from time to time...or on an everyday basis...
Not a big club person, but I will check one - or a party - out every now and then...
Unquestionably have a strong love, respect and appreciation for my wonderful and beautiful family...my magnificent boyfriend (my Wessss!!!!)...my ryde-or-die friends - those true-blue, lifelong onez, ya know - and most importantly, for God...but I'm not a "holy-rollie".....Every person has his/her own unique, special and exclusive relationship with Him...The rest of us just have to trust that, ya' feel?
Okay, here goes my slight tangent for the moment...A warning in advance, if you will, ha...
There is just so much turmoil, hatred, war, violence and just general negativity in the world and society that some of us are fortunate enough to not have to encounter or endure on a regular, everyday basis....and others - far too many others, not so fortunate...
If you believe, you just have to pray and ultimately be the change you want to see, as they say...
At the end of the day, the best thing for any of us to do is just be every possible thing we can be in this lifetime....find and serve our purpose (or purposes)....make our contribution/s....have a lil' fun (okay, lots, hehe)......and smile to the best of our ability through all trials, tribulations and obstacles presented by Life...
She can be a tough one, but...as Martin Lawrence so eloquently put it in Runteldat...ya still gotta just "ride it 'till the wheelz fall off!" Hehe...Peace. Luv.

My Interests


LOL! Classic!
************************************************************ *

Writing ANY & EVERYthing, but mostly poetry...listening to music (particularly R&B, Hip-Hop, & Rap...OLD SKOOL AND NEW SKOOL!!!!)....debating...conversing....meeting new people....

I'd like to meet:

Not sure about those among the living...but...all or at least most of my ancestors...those who came before me....and are apart of who I am....

Music:


One of my favorite videos and songs of all time!!
************************************************************ *

I REALLY LOVE HIP-HOP, R&B, & RAP MUSIC FROM OUR GENERATION AS WELL AS THE ONES BEFORE US (OLD SKOOL)......GOODNESS, BLACK PEOPLE HAVE SO MUCH TALENT....

AS FOR SPECIFIC ARTISTS, I LOVE SO MANY....BUT....IF I REALLY HAVE TO BE SPECIFIC, PUT IT THIS WAY....IF I WERE ON A STRANDED ISLAND AND COULD ONLY BE LIMITED TO THE ALBUMS OF SIX ARTISTS....HANDS DOWN, IT'D BE FOR THA LADIEZ, MISS TONI BRAXTON & TLC...& 4 THA LOVELY FELLAZ, MISTA 2PAC SHAKUR, R. KELLY, LUDACRIS, & BOYZ II MEN....

THOSE R MY TOP FAVORITEZ BEFORE ALL OTHERS!!! SIX (WELL, ELEVEN) OF THE MOST TALENTED ARTISTS IN THE HISTORY OF THE INDUSTRY, IN MY OPINION...WHETHER THEY ARE ON TOP NOW OR NOT IS IRELEVANT...THEY'VE MORE THAN GIVEN THEIR SHARE OF FAIR CONTRIBUTION FOR THE REST OF LIFE, AS FAR AS I'M CONCERNED...

Movies:


FAV. MOVIE OF ALL TIME!!! ANGELA AND LAWRENCE KILT IT! not 2 mention that Tina'z a BaAaAaD woman, herself!
************************************************************ *
As for genres, I looove comedies, dramas, & thrillers....don't particularly favor romantic/"mushy-gushy"-type films...unless they have comedy in it...so, like I haven't seen "Gone With the Wind" yet...but I probably won't enjoy it too much, I'm thinking....
As for specific movies I love, "What's Love Got to Do With It?" (starring miss Angela Bassett & Lawrence Fishburn) is first & foremost...that is my MOVIE 4 LIFE......"Set It Off" (starring Vivica Fox, Queen Latifa, Jada Pinkett, &...the other chica whose name i 4get @ the moment) is .2....
I am crazy about "Black" films...regardless as to what type of film it is....whether it be "Boyz In the Hood"...."The Wood"...."The Brothers"...."The Best Man"....."Menace II Society"...."Deliver Us From Eva"...."Higher Learning"..."Poetic Justice"...."Juice"...etc. etc...they are just so intriguing to me...& it's not about not having a wide variety of taste....it's just different strokes 4 different folks...& "Black" films usually catch my eye the most...

Television:


(FaV. sItCoM of ALLLL TIIIMEE!!!!!! oh yeah, not ta' mention, also one of my fav. episodez...)
************************************************************ *

my favorite tv genres r, by far, comedy and drama....

the specific shows..."Martin," of COURSE!!! then, "I Love Lucy"...and in no particular order, "General Hospital"...."The Cosby Show"..."Girlfriends"...."King of Queens"..."Sex and the City"..."Felicity"....& "Living Single"!

my fav. cartoon characters of all time r Bugz Bunny & Chuckie Finster of The Rugrats...Bugz iz .1 always....i don't know what it is, but i jus REALLY love that character! & Chuckie is def' right behind @ .2....4get ol' Tommy - Charles was alwayz tha best Rugrat, handz down :-D

Books:


One of my fav. book-turned-movies!! AND my fav. female author (Terry McMillan)! AND my fav. actress (Angela Bassett)!! And last but not least, one of the best scenes in this movie!!

HELL HATH NO FURY LIKE A SISTA SCORNED!!!! hehehe....

************************************************************ *

my fav. bookz of all time r, WITHOUT QUESTION (& in no particular order):

- "Disappearing Acts," by Terry McMillan

- "Move Over, Girl," by Brian Peterson

- "Warriors Don't Cry," by Melba Patillo Beals

- "Remember Me," by Christopher Pike
