the 5th letter [E]

I think we found a way to make it right.

About Me

I'm a person of many diverse talents and interests. I am a Graphic Designer who is trying to make something of himself in this cold, cold world. I Love the art scene, and art history. I love doing cultural things and events. I'm a Pisces, so I am very intelligent, sensitive, sarcastic [oh, am I ever?], understanding, devoted, giving, fiercely loyal and yes emotional. I'm a low key under the radar type cat. What needs to happen is the mixer. If I'm in the mood, I'm down for it all. I am very curious, a late bloomer and would like to find out more of myself and life. I love randomness, and newness. I'm not in the front but neither in the back, I gravitate somewhere in the middle. My friends would describe me as an extreme lover, giver, and confidant. Plus a general smart ass who tends to look at life through rose colored glasses. Hey I'm a dreamer a hopeless romantic to the core. I believe in love overcoming all. I do believe that love is unconditional. I rep Philly cuz, that's where I was born. So now you know.

My Interests

Life, Love, Living, randomness, voyeurism, space travel, and Art [doesn't matter what kind]. I'm a progressive thinker & visual artist. Art history, going to museums and gallery shows. Miles, Nas, music & concerts, social events, cars, being fit. PORN, Graphic Design, education, the Black woman, The Latin woman, women period. Social matters, planes and politics. Clothes, shoes, music, electronics and enlightenment. Quantum Pyhsics and String Theories.I want to be the best man to the lady in slot 1 of my friend list. I Love drinking wine and other fine delicacies [FCUS for those in the know]. Eating all types of cuisine and always looking so clean. Taking that long walk, speaking in that long talk. A bike ride, a skinny dip. A kiss on my forehead, and 1 for my lips. To be a better man, to be all that I can. Being able to say I'm wrong, to know that I am strong. To understand the "Almighty's" Master Plan.

I'd like to meet:

Like minded individuals who are about motivating, improving, exploring, educating, laughing, and building.Those who wish to add me as a friend need to send a prior message saying so. If I don't know you, you will not be added. If you are spamming me with your profile because you've seen key words in my profile, like the myriad of music, PORN, entertainment & enlightenment I'm into, you will not be added. Or, I'll look you over then decide if I want to add you. I am here to discover old & new friends alike. But, I do have certain guidelines I adhere to. No offense, just a personal defense.Be easy, E

Movies:

I definitely like movies of a different color. Slingblade [or anything w/ Billy Bob], Last of the Mohicans, My Left Foot, The Boxer, Star Wars, Trainspotting, KIDS, the gangster flicks [The Godfathers'] etc., Master Killer, The Shogun's Assassin. The Labyrinth, Dark Crystal, Krull, Dune, 2001: A space Odyssey, A clockwork Orange. Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, Ocean's 11, 12, 13. The Bond films with Sean, Roger, and a little Pierce sprinkled in there. Sin City, The Birds, For a few Dollars More, Shawshank Redemption, A Christmas Story, 8mm, Raising Arizona, Falling Down, Platoon, Apocalypse Now, Full Metal Jacket, Aeon Flux [the series], Evangelion, Gundam Wing, Ghost in The Shell, Akira, Fist of The Northstar, Ninja Scroll. Little Miss Sunshine, Hero, Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon. The Epic "studio" films of the 50's/60's: Spartacus, Ben Hur, The Ten Commandments, Lawrence of Arabia, Cleopatra. Munich, Syriana, Fat Girl, Waking Life. Indie flicks are a must. I'll continue to add more as I go...

Television:

I basically watch The News, The Simpson's, Seinfeld, Lost, 24, The Amazing Race, Wife Swap, Nanny 911, Super Nanny and King Of The Hill. Judge Judy & Judge Joe Brown. Love Jacque Pepin's cooking show [PBS]too. I watch a lot of documentaries, nature programs, and music genre related features. Sportscenter, THC, A&E/Biography, TLC, Speed channel & Motor Week. Oh I forgot... Fashion House [when it was on...]

Books:

I'm not a voracious reader, but here are a few books I'm reading: The Art of War [Sun Tzu], Notes of a Native Son [James Baldwin], Buddhism: Plain and Simple [some dude] & The Alchemist.

Heroes:

Those: friend and family alike who have given me the knowledge to know, that I am somebody, and that I can achieve all my goals! It's all in me. Do it!
