Voting Informed...& Black!

The New 30

About Me

Spiritually-grounded, well-informed & profoundly educated. Civic-minded, politically active & street smart. Relaxed, serious, yet still down to earth. The man is highly favored, well-sought, and sometimes deeply confused. I'm an enjoyer of life, and what it has to bring. Lover of house music, fried chicken, silly stories and funny movies. I love photography, paintings, the Rodin Museum, and usually the drummers in the band...unless there's someone playing the flute.

My Interests

Deeper knowledge, church, photography, house music, intellectual debates and political conversations, activism, and nude beaches. Love watching stories about Jesus on the history channel. He was such a prankster. But in His defense, He did tell them that He was going to rise from the dead in three days; I guess the joke was on them.

I'd like to meet:

Looking to meet people like me, and those different from me. Photographers, Activists, Etta James, T.O., TI, even Tatiana Ali, Community Volunteers, Black gay archievist, Realtors, Community Servants, Old Friends, Choir Directors, Philadelphia natives who refuse to litter, Drummers in the band, Men who play the tambourine, and there's always room for others (please be sure to specify), etc. I think this covers the basics.

Music:

House music, all night long. Soulful funk, soul indie artist, and anything with great lyrics. Artist: Eric Roberson, Kina, Jill Scott, Etta James, 'old school' Mary J. Blige, Natasha Beddingfield, Slum Villiage, Israel and New Breed, Fred Hammond, Goapele, Cyndi Lauper, Portishead, Leela James, Heather Headley, Fionna Apple, Maroon 5, Vivian Green and Whitney Houston. Most recently, Taryn Murphy, Lynn Olagundoye, Panic! At the Disco and James Blunt. Truly loving: Lady Alma, Curt Chambers and Franklin Bridge (formerly Bits of Clay) and Natural Selection.

Movies:

The Color Purple, Imitations of Life, The Wiz, Paris is Burning, Hedwig and the Angry Inch and School Daze. Recently saw Transamerica, and fell in love.

Television:

That's So Raven, Project Runway, Law and Order: SVU and All My Children.

Books:

Bishop Millicent Hunter (my Pastor...thanking God for her) wrote Don't Die in the Winter. Such a wonderful book! I also enjoy, as favorites, Man-child in the Promised Land, and any short stories by Langston Hughes (such as Jess B. Semple series). I could see these in a book:

Heroes:

Jesus Christ. He often said the darnest things; & Kenneth Jones. Oh, he's my twin brother.
