You Are Fun Sexy
You're funny, quirky, cute, and sassy.
Guys always have a great time with you, and that alone is sexy.
You've got an upbeat, optimistic spirit that totally shines through.
Any guy would be crazy to turn you down!
When I started writing this, I began speaking about my job. I guess because it's so much a part of who I am. I decided, instead, to speak more on my personality traits and likes and dislikes to kick things off.
I am a good listener, a loyal friend, a faithful lover, and I see the humor in most everything.
I love to dance, read, watch TV, work out, and dine out. I love The WVU Mountaineers, The NY Giants, George Carlin, Tiki Barber, Michael Strahan, Jaguar Wright, SWV, Jacksonville Jaguars, New Orleans Saints, Dr. Phil, and Aretha.
I don't care for bugs, rodents, cheaters, country music, The Pittsburgh SteAlers, the Dallas Cowboys, doing dishes, racists, sexists, extreme hot or cold temperatures, or mean people.
I am the Editorial Director at Q-Boro Books, an imprint of Urban Books. I love my job with all my heart and am blessed to be able to work every day with my passion. I am also an avid reader and a reviewer for RAWSISTAZ. I have too many books to count!
I am a book cover designer and freelance web developer as well, although the web stuff is becoming more frequent. I have designed several covers for authors like Dwayne Joseph, KaShamba Williams, and Tony Lindsay.
I live in Long Island, but was raised in West Virginia. I have lived in Maryland, West Virginia, Florida, and work in QUEENS.
I am easy to get along with, and as far as I know I don't have any mortal enemies (unless you count cheesecake).
In Memory of Darrent Williams of the Denver Broncos
Congrats to the Mountaineers, 2007 Gator Bowl Champs!
You Are an Appletini
Most of the time, you're a typical party girl / guy.
But when you get super sauced, you really up your sex appeal. What Mixed Drink Are You?

Like me, I like you?

Do you think it's possible that we like people for the simple fact that they seem to like us a lot? I'll admit that I have a little bit of a princess complex. I like attention and like to feel like I...

Cheaters

When I think about it, I am truly amazed at the time and effort that people put into cheating. The lies they concoct, the time involved, the guilt (if they have a conscience), the sheer effort is asto...

Things can change in the blink of an eye

Everything you think you know about someone can change in the blink of an eye. Does that mean we shouldn't take risks with our hearts? Does it mean we should never trust that people have good in them...
