About Me


THEROPY
It’s been a hard road alone
My heart yearns for what I had once felt
While my mind seeks to convince my heart
That it will heal
It’s been a hard road alone
It’s been a hard road alone
Turmoil troubles my future
Because I can’t look beyond my past
While my mind seeks to convince my heart
That it will heal
It’s been a hard road alone
And alone is my sanctuary
From furthering my past into my future
I never want to feel as if I do now
Only to wish now didn’t exist
It’s been a hard road alone
Yearning for the love
I felt from her touch
The gentleness of her kiss
The happiness in her smile
And joy in her glance
Leaving me to my sorrows
Missing her face
And the grace of her moves
Missing her reaction
When my love was delivered
And my heart I gave
It’s been a hard road alone
And alone I remain
It’s my sanctuary
From furthering my past into my future
I refuse to walk this road again
My heart needs to heal and harden
Before this journey may stop
And a choice will be made
On which road will be best traveled
Right now I travel this road
This hard road alone

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

MALCOM X, PRINCE, COMMON, Operah, and Mos Def

Music:

I LOVE music. Everything from Common & Prince, to Tracy Chapman & India Arie. It's all love! I'm a Hiphopper, so Hiphop is my first LOVE! My first tape I ever bought was LL's "I need a beat", BDP, Digable Planets, EPMD, Eric B & Rakim, Public Enemy came next. I grew up on my brotha's playing Suga Hill Gang and Trecherous Three. I loved Hiphop when IceT made brothas' stand in the B-Boy stands, with the classic joint "wreckless". I knew how to toprock before I know how to add and subtract. That african drum spoke in a language that was easy for me to understand. Wish heads could feel what brothas' in the 80's felt. When u went to concert and there was a show. U had ur Dj, graffeti, emcee, and ya B-Boy on stage. When Rakim's thrown came out and was spinning, and when it turn for the last time he jus appeared. When LL had his big ass radio on stage. PE had a "letter from the gov't", When Common came out on stage with his pink chucks did a windmill got up and his shirt was dirty as hell. Heads jus doing them, not selling a package, but jus enjoying who they are. Watchin Hiphop grow up was a beautiful and trying experience. Watch Hiphop's f..@! up cuz'n be sold to the mass, and the mass believe they listening to Hiphop. They not doing Hiphop, they rapping. Hiphop is still alive. Love what heads all over the country r doing. Little Brother, Slum Village, Kev Brown, Cy Young, Elzi, Frank and Dank, Common, Blackstar, Tribe Called Quest, Ceelo, Talib, Mos Def, Da La Soul, Pharcyde, Hi-Tek, People Under the Stairs, Group Home, Boot Camp, Immortal Technique, Lauryn Hill, many more. Keep being Hiphop, GOD knows that there is a need. Telling me something more then Sex, Cars, and Clothes. Do that if thats what u do, but touch on something real. Stop selling me on how much u got, and show me what u worth. Stop feeding the kids, BS. Move somebody somewhere besides the dance floor and jail cells. Show me the light, because u got the mic. Be heard! (In the immortal words of David Chapel) Bitches.

Television:

I don't watch much television, but I do dig David Chapel and the sitcom Girlfriends. I like the classics, Whats Happening and GoodTimes. Can't forget Sanford and Son, "U Big Dummy".

Books:

I love to read, but I read for knowledge, can't read a novel for nada. In 9th grade, the Autobiography of Malcolm X change my life. I thank GOD for that book, and the brotha that was the author, Alex Hailey. Malcolm with his 8th grade education was the smartest man on the planet. He groomed himself to be that. He is a testimony that knowledge is power.

Heroes:

My Popps is my hero. The greatest influence in my life. Not my only hero, but he does stand alone. He is a Great MAN!
