About Me
Welcome Back Welcome Back Welcome Back
In Case you didn`t realize it from the picture and the intro, I spent a year and change in Beautiful Sunny Iraq (yeah right)For real though it was a very worthwhile and rewarding experience but not one I would like to repeat anytime soon. But if you want to know about that you can drop me a note and ask
I have spent 25 years figuring out exactly who I am. And like most people the answer to the posed question of "Who am I" is simultaneously simple and supeficial, and complex. For the purposes of suspense I will leave you with the simple and superficial answer at least for now. I am about to graduate Summa Cum Laude, with high honors in classics, and Phi Beta Kappa from Howard.I am extremely proud of that accomplishment. Everyone has one knows they have one trait that they love to let people know about, for me it is my intelligence.I have recently expanded my horizons, I have recently gotten into Sports Radio and Telivisions. I am covering pro and college sports in the northeast for Knight Sports Productions. I do several regular radio show and I have made a couple of appearances on Comcast Sportsnet in Philly and DC. I am also a regular coorespondant for the Tony Cornnish JR Radio Show on WWPR 1490am in Braedenton, FL (10am -12pm on Saturdays). I cover the Redskins for the Pewter Report in Tampa Bay. In reality Football is one of my weaker sports even though I get paid to cover it. I am a baseball and basketball man. I love to play sports, also. I love playing football, baseball/softball(anything where I get to hit something with some kind of blunt intstrument- I`d play cricket if I could figure it out)and tennis and I am working(very slowly) on my golf game- TIGER WOOOOOODS. I also do some work in the music industry setting up and promoting parties, managing deejays, producers, rappers and the like.Prior to going to college I was a member of the United States Army. Now that I am in school I am in the reserves. I spent three years jumping out of planes. It was fun and it is paying me now so I guess that makes it a good experience. I have recieved a number of awards, and I am about to be promoted again.After I graduate school I am planning on going to grad school for my MA in Classics and then I would like to get my PhD in history (comparative). I study the use of Ancient Roman imagery from the Augustan period by the Italian fascists to further the ideology of Romanita. My paper on the subject: Mussolini as Augustus Redux, won first prize at the Howard University College of Arts and Sciences Undergraduate Research Symposium.As for Who Am I- I would like to think I am me.
I am intelligent but don`t tell anyone.
I am the coolest nerd you`ll eva meet.
I am as deep as the shores of the Pacific.
I let my silence speak volumes but I am normally loud.
I am Intellectual, but please dont ask me to think.
I am a violent guy who has a peaceful streak.
I am an gentleman hidden inside of an *sshole.
I am guilty of the crime I never commited.
I am an extremely self conscious narcissist.
An outgoing person who is to shy to talk.
And extremely hard worker who is too lazy to get up off his *ss.
Infinite potential with limited outcomes.
I have it all together but I forgot where I put it.
A poet who can`t write in any language.
A teacher with no students.
On top of my game... But what are we playing?
I know anything, everything and nothing simutaneously.
At the very summit of my own personal abyss.
I love being around people as long as I am alone.
I am lost in place that I know very well.
I have been around the block but I still need directions.
I am loved by all, know by none, and hated by many.
I crazy, I am sane, I am who I am and I think that is good enough.People HAve been complimenting me on my Poetry
I Really Appreciate the kindness but this is not Poetry.

A Poem IS timeless
