Had Better Days

I can see clearly now the rain is gone....

About Me

I just moved back to Houston, TX. in April 2005 after living in New York and Los Angeles. I'm trying to finish college, slowly but surely, so that I can go on to teach high school Theatre Arts and eventually own my very own theater somewhere here in Houston or wherever I choose to live next...hopefully Chicago! If you know me then you know I'm just a crazy, funny, and cool person...and that's all you need to know about me...tah! This layout is from WhateverLife.com; get yours today!

My Interests

Dancing, playing sports such as basketball, volleyball, softball, bowling (if you consider that a sport), improvisation, acting, watching movies repeatedly, listening to music right before going to sleep, traveling anywhere for any reason, jogging at Memorial Park right before sunset, watching the moon and stars late at night, cooking, and just chillin' with family and friends

I'd like to meet:

1) Jake Gyllenhal so I can ask him to marry me or go out to dinner, whichever comes first.2) The jerk who killed Houston Police Officer Rodney Johnson so I can kick him in the nuts one good time.3) My grandmother on my mother's side so I can have one, good, warm, loving hug.4) John Kerry so that I can help him remove his foot from his mouth. Sometimes we just can't say EVERYTHING that's on our minds man!5) Janet Jackson so I can ask her how in the hell did she really lose all that weight AND could she please take me in as her apprentice.6) Last but not least, I would like to meet the inventor of Screamers so I can send them a dry cleaning bill for all the shit left in my pants.

Music:

Soul, Hip Hop, R&B, Pop, Rock, Alternative, 70's, 80's and 90's music, movie soundtracks such as Gladiator, Road to Perdition, Big Daddy, Soul Food, Brokeback Mountain and American Beauty (just to name a few) and anything that reminds me of specific times in my life that I was really happy and having a good time

Movies:

Black cinema (happy Vikki?) movies such as Boyz in the Hood, Menace to Society, Higher Learning, etc. or anything by Spike Lee like Jungle Fever, Crooklyn, and Summer of Sam; Musicals like Annie and Fame, dramas, comedies, and horror flicks are my fav like Nightmare on Elm Street, Child's Play, Urban Legend, The Bad Seed, etc.; Classics like Imitation of Life, Mommie Dearest, What Happened to Baby Jane?, etc; Old Black Cinema like Cooley High, and old Pam Grier movies...in all I watch everything...I don't discriminate when it comes to my movies

Television:

America's Funniest Home Videos, Scare Tactics, anything on VH1, MTV's The Shop, My Wife and Kids, Jeopardy!, Distraction, Martin, Fresh Prince, Good Times, and A Different World re-runs, King of Queens, Real World/Road Rules Challenges, Black. White. on FX, and I'm an undercover Full House and 7th Heaven re-run lover!

Books:

Kimberla Lawson Roby books because in her series the characters from previous books keep showing up in some odd way. She's a great writer and her books are soooo real when it comes to women...especially black women. You should check her out....whatever color you are.
