About Me

Ok, here's a sneak peek into what is I:
I like movies that no one in there right mind would possibly watch. Like there's this one film called D.E.B.S that is really bad but it's really funny cuz it's so lame with the bad acting and all. I'm a dork. Yes a Dork. I collect things. Like shoes and music (LPS). Shoes....yes shoes...like Jordans, Nikes, Adidas, New Balances, 'Boks, and yes I wear them. I'm terrified of ignorant people and they make me sick. umm kay?!?!

My Interests

I'm interested in all kinds of music. I'll jump on Boards of Canada, tear the roof of some Parliment, check what the bitches brew with Mile Davis, go ridin dirty with Chamillionaire, write a blog about my Daily gangstarr Operation, go back to basix with kid n play, fight the power with the publics enemy, get depressed with some portishead, get mesmorized with norah jones, rock out to some metallica, become a new waver all over again listening to omd, depechemode, erasure. then fade to black with some jay z. what can i say? I like mooosiiiiiccckkk.So much stuff that it's hard for me to concentrate on a single thing. Lately, when i'm not in the lab, i'm usually out and about either looking for music or waiting in line at some shoe boutique to buy some kicks.

I'd like to meet:

all friends old and new.

Music:

gosh. music. that's a big thing for me. i only have one criteria. If it's good, i'm sure i'll like it. if not. i won't like it. simple as that right?

Movies:

I tend to like movies that are pretty stupid. I'm talking about the B movie's where Micheal Dudikoff takes kids from the ghetto and then takes them into the heart of Vietnam to do some reconnaissance mission. Of course, it turns out to be a life lesson for the kids as one of the hardest fools get's capped by some vc. Typically these movies will never make out to the theaters but will be something u'll see in the middle of the weekday home sick to amuse u, or on cinemax to fill airtime. Gosh i love B movies!!
