Veni, Vidi, Vici - New Level New Era

Can't Run from the Payne Go T'wards It

About Me

I do a little bit of everything - if I didn't mind getting my hands dirty I'd probably be a plumber. Good plumbers will always be employed. I've been knocked on my ass a couple of times and have always managed to get right back up. The fact that this time around is taking a little bit longer means that the journey to the top of my mountain is going to be rewarded WELL Get Your Own! | View Slideshow ..

My Interests

baking from scratch, cooking (no they are not the same), reading, traveling - all that's left on my list of places to visit are various countries in Africa, Australia, Russia and Japan, video editing and conceptualizing.

I'd like to meet:

If I can't learn something from you, why bother? And if you can help me get one step closer to directing movies, then definitely holla at me... (need your music video done? holla at ya girl!)If you find you're not in my top 24, don't fret... I've discovered that there are so many of y'all I want to put in the top whatever that I don't have enough spaces for all of ya... so I'm rotating you so everyone gets some time to shine!

Music:

I listen to everything - big band, country, classical, jazz, blues, r&b, rap, soca, reggae and DANCEHALLLLLLL

Movies:

Two Can Play That Game, Waiting to Exhale, A Christmas Story (You'll put your eye out kid!), Usual Suspects, Carmen A Hip Hopera, Scarface, Mean Girls, the brat pack movies...

Television:

Do NOT call me when Desperate Housewives, Grey's Anatomy, Ghost Whisperer, Close to Home, MTV reality shows or Flavor of Love is on... I like those classics too.

Books:

Coldest Winter Ever is probably the only book I will read for a 2nd time... I prefer fiction, and am enjoying my 2nd round of Judy Blume thanks to my daughter. I don't read as much as I used to though.

Heroes:

There's a little bit of hero in everyone I know... for different reasons.
