Growing closer to God on a daily basis, music, sports, writing, cooking, comic books (that ONE thing from my youth i can't let go), fighting Kimbo (I swear I whupp that dude on a regular basis) and great movies...And you dont want to be a nigga! Because niggas are living contradictions Niggas are full of unfulfilled ambitions Niggas watch and wain! Niggas love to complain! Niggas love to hear themselves talk But hate to explain! Niggas love being another mans judge and jury! Niggas procrastinate until its time to worry! Niggas love to be late! Niggas hate to hurry!...some of ya'll swear you ain't niggas too...Beautiful, uplifting words by Dr. King. That speech makes me sad...and hungry...I'mma have a sandwich!
Jesus, Mike Tyson (don't ask me why),Tyler Perry, Dave Chappelle, Tonex, Jim Lee, John Mayer, Ray Lewis, Chris Berman, Tiger Woods, Carl Sagan, Stephen King, Stevie Wonder, Terrence Howard, Don Imus...just for laughs...we could talk about nappy headed ho's and such, Al Sharpton...just for laughs...we could talk about crack and politics...and crack, the Rock (...the hell is Dwayne Johnson? you the Rock, nigga!), yo mama (sucka),Sherm the Shock Troopa (I just made that up), Malcolm X, Denzel (cuz it would be like looking in a mirror), Dr. Martin Luther King, Jesus...oh, and dad...sad, huh? Oh oh oh...and Nia Long...because she's such a great actress...for real...and Jesus!
WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY too many. R&B and gospel mostly...Gorgeous Soul (sometimes). J Moss, Tonex, John Legend, Ne-Yo (sophomore disappointlment, but you still mah nig!), Az Yet(One album? That's like making out for 20 minutes and then just leaving. Why you blue ballin' me man?), John Mayer, Stevie Wonder, Billy Joel, Kirk Franklin, Outkast, Joe, Nina Simone, Al Green, Michael Jackson (pre-mind loss), Digital Underground, Timberland (the producer, not the rapper ), Anthony Evans, Donell Jones, DC Talk, Usher, Babyface, Sarah Brightman, Musiq, Weezer, Andrea Bochelli, Aaron Shust, Barlowgirl (girly, I know, but they're actually very inspiring), Bryan McKnight(pre and post-mind loss), Antigone Rising,The Fugees, Glen Lewis, Kanye West (even though he's a damn fool), DJ Quik, Mercy Me, Donnie McClurkin, Tree 63...oh, and got to give love to the boys Trygg and Palos...they're making good music that needs to be heard!!! I imagine this list will thin out over time but as of right now, this is it...
Pretty big movie buff...anything scary, funny, or a good political thriller. M:I 3 was pretty dope. All time faves: Lost Boys, Contact, Love and Basketball,Man On Fire, Love Jones, Any Given Sunday, Crash, Booty Call, Office Space, Facing the Giants which was so much better than Remember the Titans that it's almost sad, Things to Do In Denver When You're Dead, The Usual Suspects, The Passion of the Christ, Gladiator, Batman Begins, Wedding Crashers...Transformers was the BOMB...and even though it's not out for several months 30 Days of Night makes the list already, as does the next Batman movie...geez I'm such a nerd...
the only show I've GOT to watch is Lost. after that i catch Family Guy and Jimmy Kimmel Live on occasion.
Velocity,Lightning, Bad Place, and The Taking by Dean Koontz (although, The Taking gave me a sever case of TMJ). Anything by James Patterson because he is a writes black characters with depth and identity beyond their color, which, I'm sorry quite a few black authors could stand to do more of. Bentley Littles' Collection, The 40 Laws of Power, Do You Love Football, the Bible (which I don't read nearly enough), and my rhyme dictionary.
Who's a bigger hero than Jesus? Don Imus? I think not... People like Tara and Tyrus, Derl and Rachel...they're up there too...can we mention Scotty Hassett, the baddest man on a bass guitar...
