About Me

I'm a laid back guy who simply enjoys having a good time. I stumbled across myspace and have really gotten into this as a good way to communicate and put some of my opinions out there. I'm interested in meeting new people and maybe sharing political and social views with anyone who has something interesting to say. If you'd really like to have discussion of this nature, check out my blog at: http://myopinionbutimnotwrong.blogspot.com/ . Don't worry about offending me with any messages you send. If you have a question, ask it. Life is a great big classroom. The more you do, the more you talk, the more you learn.

My Interests

Living life to the fullest and enjoying every minute of it. ..

I'd like to meet:

...people who like to have fun and share some of the same interests I have and desire to thoroughly enjoy life. Especially members of the BLUE and WHITE Family.

Music:

I listen to a lot of old school R&B. Like The Drifters, Platters, Temps, Tops, the Dells, etc. (you know real music). But I do like some of the new artists as well. I like Beyonce (her music), Destiny's Child, Blackeyed Peas, India Arie, Jill Scott, and too many others to name. I spend a great deal of time listening to contemporary gospel and choir music. I don't believe in limiting myself musically. I listen to Kenny Chesney and Toby Keith when I get the notion to do so. I believe that music from almost any genre can appeal to you if you give it a chance. If you think you have something I might like, let me know. I promise to let you know whether I like it or not...

Movies:

American Pie (all of them), The Longest Yard, Chronicles of Narnia, and anything where there's a lot of explosions and shooting...

Television:

CSI, CSI Miami, Without a Trace, Law & Order (all of them), 24, and anything on ESPN orFox Sports. I also spend a lot of time watching CPSAN, Hannity and Colmes and shows like that. Got to know what's going on in the world. ..

Books:

The Testing of Negro Intelligence (it's a real book), Traveling Light, God's Plan for You, Communication, Sex and Money, Absolute Answers to Prodigal Problems, 90 Things God Said About Sex, Simon Says...Dream (Live a Passionate LIfe), The Godbearing Life, Developing the Leader Within You, What a Way to Live, and others.
