Hip Hop, preventing people from killing insects, Black people, poetry (writing/listening), amateur photography, Atari 2600, peace, college radio, debate/arguing. I'm a very random person. Random tastes, random sense of humor, I often do things differently just to shake things up a bit. I love music, DJing on the radio and in clubs part time. I write frequently and semi-professionally, though I prefer telling stories by far, I'm a griot by nature. Never have stepped back from an opportunity to debate, and will often take a side I don't particularily beleive in just to keep my tongue and mind sharp. Love to make people laugh, especially in groups. I hate it when people kill insects at random. I'm a bit quirky at times but you love it anyways. Let's see what else.... I try to be thoughtful and mannerly. I stand up for the little guy whenever I can, earning me the nickname "defender of the free world". Love children but don't tolerate disrespect. Very interested in politics and world affairs, can't wait to do some travelling. Have an extensive Atari 2600 collection. I'm attracted to intelligent people but a dazzling smile never hurts! All in all, I'm just a mature dude in his 20's trying to keep this smile on his face. That's about it. Yup, that's it.
People who value love, Lisa Nicole Carson, Atari 2600 collectors, the lead singer from 702, people who love the N.E.R.D. album, Vladmir Putin, El Hajj El Malik Shabazz, people who put others before themselves, writers, salsa dancers, people who have been through a struggle and have escaped with stories to tell. People who aren't ashamed to show their intellect. Women with gorgeous smiles (dimples get extra points!). People who speak more than one language. Those that love God and love that others love God as well, even if they know Him by another name. People who sing to themselves in the car, then when other people notice, keep on singing. People with excellent manners and social skills.
