I'm Cornel Westside!

About Me

...Um, maybe you know better than I do. Let me know what you think "about me".

My Interests

I love music, movies, and a good book. I love to dance, whether or not there is any music. I write - poetry, short stories, screenplays... i don't know how much i love to do it, but i do it nevertheless. its like this nagging need that cannot be satisfied... I love to try new things, so if you got any suggestions (keep your lude comments to yourself please...) let me know.I started scrapbooking. Man, that means I am getting old... And I love to help people, so if you have a worthwhile community service event, I like that kind of stuff too. And if you are in the donating mood, I collect winter clothing for the homeless. And I am a member of Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority, Inc. Yeop! (Blue and Gold Baby! Blue and Gold Baby!)

I'd like to meet:

A better version of myself. (If you meet him or her, let me know).

Music:

I can't do the radio right now. If I'm not tuned into KCRW (National Public Radio), then I am probably not tuned in at all.

Movies:

I made the mistake of watching Shortbus without knowing what it was about. How do I put this... I'm a prude, and this movie is certainly not for prudes. The film should have been called Full Frontal!

Television:

Monday - I must watch Heroes. (Sometimes I watch What About Brian too...) Tuesday - American Idol and House Wednesday - American Idol Thursday - Gray's Anatomy (Please believe I am NOT missing this show. Can I get a job at Shondaland?)

Books:

My Favorites include: Like Water for Chocolate (just because I am a romantic and it has beautiful images, and I loved the movie) The Autobiography of Assata Shakur (because it changed my life. Thanks Prof. Allen for making me read it.) The Autobiography of Malcolm X (because that most definitely changed my life!) Patti's Pearls (full of wonderful life lessons) The Coldest Winter Ever - I couldn't put it down!!!! I love to read, so if you have got suggestions, let a sista know!

Heroes:

Anyone that is determined and purposed and recognizes that heroism is not about ideals, but about living out those ideals on a daily basis. Mother's, especially my mom and my sister, because teaching and protecting and loving a person for their entire life is a huge responsibility. Anyone who believes it is important to give back to their communities and serve others. Those who are brave enough to love others no matter what has happened to them.

My Blog

Peter Petrelli for President!

Good television is hard to find.  Great television is few and far between.  And Heroes is absolutely excellent! Every Monday, I am jittery with anticipation for the next installment of this ...
