TERRI!

I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

FIRST THINGS FIRST: I AUTOMATICALLY DELETE ALL FRIEND REQUESTS SENT TO ME WITHOUT A PERSONALIZED MESSAGE explaining how I know you OR WHY YOU'D LIKE TO BE MY FRIEND. This is fair warning, I will not fall victim to one mo' dumb ass survey because some people get all extra sensitive when you want to know why they chose you. It's not my life goal to have thousands of myspace friends just to be able to say that I do. So there you have it.Now, on to "about me", I must hail from the Amazon tribe, without the lesbian twist :) One of the biggest of the big girls...giving us a voice through poetry and creative expression that includes singing (but only after a Long Island Iced Tea!).Proud mother of two manchill'n in the promissory land...'cause they still owe us, yanno? Single by force...but we'll see what happens.Originally bred in The Bricks, residing now in Fort Liquordale...reborn through their spoken word scene...as far as I'm concerned, it begins and ends with the word, we just try to flow with everything in between.Nuf Luv and Thick Hugz TERRI!

My Interests

My sons...amazing black men...spoken word...drawing...singing...the concrete differences between spirituality and religion

I'd like to meet:

METHOD MAN, so I could do...err..."stuff" to him; Then I'd like to meet the people that created him so I could thank them...then I'd like to encounter anyone who dares to question that he is the finest, most flavaful lyricist evahhh, so I could whup 'em! Basically, the video below is how I feel about that lyrical drink of water:
