Movies! Especially indie films, art, computers/technology (DUH!), music (particularly jazz or R&B), I also enjoy hip-hop - Pre-TuPac's death hip-hop especially. It is my goal to find out what happened to the following hip-hop artists:
-Redhead Kingpin (And perhaps, the FBI)
-Da Youngstas
-World Renown (I'm STILL waiting to be added to your friends list now that I've found you)
-Al B. Sure (Seriously, where is this guy)
More names to come later...
I had to think about this LONG and HARD...WHO would I like to meet - This list will change week to week:
-God/Jesus (Who WOULDN'T want to meet him? Them...Of course, I don't want to meet them in a "Wanna meet your maker" sort of way. This is a disclaimer that anyone who reads this does not attempt a ONE-EIGHT-SEVEN on me) - There are many things I'd actually love for them to clear up for me.
-George "Dubya" Bush (I want to quote what a student at my school would ask if she could ask ONE question of the Commander-In-Chief - And I quote...
"How DO you sleep at night?" - Peace to Misty)
-Dr. Cornel West (Or take at least ONE class or see a lecture by him).
-Aaron McGruder (You. Are. A. Genuis.)
-Chuck D. (Hey, y'know what - I've got so much trouble on my mind too! Let's hook up and talk about it! Tacos?)
-Samuel L. Jackson (Has ANYONE seen him in THE RED VIOLIN??? ANYONE???)
-Dianne Reeves (Much of your music got me through good and bad times - Keep singing that sweet music)
-MF Doom (Where the heck do you come up with that stuff??? Kookies??? Mastermind!)
Last one for now...
-The Apostle Paul (You really do have a lot of explaining to do - We'll start with the letter to Thessalonica and work our way down...)

I enjoy THE BIBLE too - $1.00 to ANYONE who can explain to me the siginificance of how and WHY Goliath is killed TWICE in the same manner within the OLD TESTAMENT. The only one anybody seems to care about is David's fight with him...What about "the other guy" in SECOND Samuel?
