...Soooo, what made me go into Comedy you ask? Hmmm.. Very sensitive subject, but I'll do my best.......

As a youngin' I started out cracking jokes and doing impressions or mimicries if you will, of people. I somehow was able to mimic people very well. Their mannerisms, voice inflections, their body movements. This irritated a few people, teachers, friends, family basically everyone I knew. I became an out cast of society. Soon people started running from me for fear of humiliation. While others threw rocks, leaving me badly deformed. Perhaps the fangs, horns and tail which protruded from my backside didn't help either. I grew up a lonely disturbed child with webbed feet. I figure comedy and entertainment was the only place for people of my sorts....My mama says "I'm Special". ;()

A few inspiring words I like to live by from my home girls: T' And Maya.

"Let no one ever come to you without leaving better and happier."" ~Mother Teresa

~"Pursue the things you love doing, and do them so well that people can't take their eyes off you. All other tangible rewards will come as a result." ~ Maya Angelou

My Interests

...When I am not rehearsing with my air concert band, my main focus in life is ACTING. Be it DRAMA or anything to do with COMEDY as long as it is fun and challenging. Especially COMEDY. I mean making and watching a complete stranger laugh is the best feeling in the world...you just can't beat that!... Well of course the good lovin of a man comes close.

"The road to success is not straight. There is a curve called Failure, a loop called Confusion, speed bumps called Friends, red lights called Enemies, caution lights called Family. You will have flats called Jobs. But, if you have a spare called Determination, an engine called Perseverance, insurance called Faith, a driver called Jesus, you will make it to a place called Success"


.. I See all you looky-loo's out there. PLEASE Leave a comment and let me know you stopped by, I will try to return the love as soon as I can.

Music:

I used to spend hours and hours in my parents basement as a kid bound and gagged..LOL.. Kidding.. I used to always put on concerts for my friends. I would probably shock you at the kind of music I know and Love. I listen to EVERYTHING.. from Rap(old school) to Rock(classic rock) to Classical. I can stand in an elevator and know and sing every song that comes on. I also love live Jazz, and the occassional "Best of Pigme tribe wedding classics". I even like a little country..well some country... but don't ask me to line dance...ok, ok I did once when I was really drunk long, long time ago. Being adopted, I was raised on Hee-Haw and Soul Train. I like to drive to R&B as Rap gets me excited and makes me have road rage, I am told people tend to frown on Road rage, could be a rumour, you know Hollywood, but I love it...Rap not the road rage.................Check out Jo Mani

Movies:

I love comedies, mysteries, thrillers, suspense,Indi films, action, and anything with freaky-deaky- Sexy love in it! So basically I love Fatal Attraction and White Chicks! LOL. HUGE Sports nut too. ....I grew up in a house hold of mens' (my father and two brothers) so If I wanted to watch TV it was either 60Minutes, Sports, HBO's Inside the NFL , Barney Miller or MASH. So I had to learn to love all of it! And damn right I do, right down to my BBQ Superbowl parties and PPV sporting events!!

Television:

I only get time to watch TV late at night in bed so I like to watch anything and everything. I'm one of the damn channel hoppers!! I love anything funny, or anything that boggles my brain. However I'm a Closet Realty show voyuer, I.E LCS, AI, Project Runway, (yes I'm a freak). I am a ESPN,CNN/ FOX News nut, gotta know what Bridges NOT to cross these days! I'm a science fiction nerd, and a Treki too. I love watching the old school Star Trek on Sundays. Love Comedy Central, Never miss Entourage, The Wire, Weeds, Sopranos, IFC( I LOVE IT), Sundance, G4. I would LOVE to be on Reno 911, I love TV Land, so I can watch all my 70's & 80's TV classics like Archie Bunker, Fred, Goodtimes, Jeffersons, Benson, just to name a few. I am a Planet Earth, and Shark week geek! I also love the Discovery Channel, as I often like to Discover new things. I could do Open heart surgery if I wanted to, so don't hesitate to ask. What? you don't look good, are you ok, here lay down on my shiny silver table.

Books:

"A Hand to Guide Me" by Denzel Washington, very powerful and moving book, I highly recommend it! Any Deep Pac Chopra book will do. You should allow him to enlighten you. OH, I Love the "Night Prey, Night Crew" novels. Hense the sex, mystery, suspense, the sex, the humor. HEY, I am single, in my 30's and in my Prime, what do you expect..don't judge! (smile)

Heroes:

God, my mother and father, and my beautiful, nutty family, who continue to inspire me!That guy in INDIA that can pull a truck with his penis is my hero too..hows it hangin bud!!______________________________________________~I have been asked: Who would be sitting at your dream dinner table?

That's easy, Ghandi, Martin Luther King, Tracey Ullman, Denzel, Mother Theresa, and Oprah. I want to have drunkin' karaoke with all of them. Then have a food fight! Maybe do some ultimate cage fighting with Mother Theresa. And mud wrestle Tracey Ullman. I'd like to play old school "Quarters" with Ghandi and MLK, and lady O'. Denzel, ...now all I want is for him is to tuck me in at night and just read to me.. read anything, a recipe book, my old report card, a prescription bottle, my speeding ticket, the phone book. I don't care, As long as he is speaking.
