I love this commercial:
New friends are great, old friends are even better.
Hmm, there are lots, but some of the favorites are Stevie Wonder, Mos, Miles Davis, Ella Fitzgerald, Caitlin Corless, Nikea Hooker, Byron Cage, Belleruche, Bitter:Sweet, Soha, edIT, TTC, Amy Winehouse,
Raheem DeVaughn, The Roots, Lily Allen, Common, Kanye West, Jamie Lidell, Donny Hathaway, Robert Randolph and the Family Band, Jurassic 5, Raphael Saadiq, Mint Condition...
Love, love, love spy/action movies like The Bourne anything, The Italian Job, The Transporter, The Matrix; like some silly, girlie movies like Legally Blonde and Bridget Jones's Diary; the black pack movies like The Best Man, Brown Sugar, Two Can Play That Game, The Wood, Set It Off; but mostly partial to the ones where people are getting their butts kicked and stuff is getting blown up.
I watch way too much of it, but my favorites are Hell's Kitchen, Family Guy, Martin,Seinfeld and those awful reality things on Vh1.
How about I list the some of the writers I'm into? Toni Morrison, Chinua Achebe, Countee Cullen, Joyce Carol Oates, Langston Hughes, Susan Orlean, James Baldwin, Judy Blume, Colin Channer and there are plenty of others I can't recall right now. Isn't that pathetic? The lists for music, movies and tv are painfully long and this one is pitifully short.
