WUTZ GOOD, FAM? I'm a 32yo Irish/Italian paisan, Hip-Hop head and political junkie with no luv 4 the consumption-based, shallow, individualistic middle-class lifestyle. Just moved back to Chitown in Feb. Grew up in the Washington DC area; lived in Northern VA and uptown DC. Graduated from Howard U in 2003. Also lived in Chitown (South Side, Hyde Park) in '04/'05 for grad school. If I felt like I had the time and money I'd go back for a Ph.D. or J.D. but I didn't start undergrad full-time 'till I was 25yo and I'm already buried in school loan debt.
También vivà en EL BOOGIE DOWN . I stayed in Riverdale / Kingsbridge off 238 and then had a crib in Highbridge off 167 & 4 train. I'm feelin' the BX. Back in Chicago for a year or so, then I wanna move back to NYC--unless I find a permanent job somewhere else first. I might be interested in tryin' out southern Cali for a while but it depends on where my job search leads me. Still thinkin' 'bout teaching or workin' in politics or journalism. As long as I find a job that makes a difference for underrepresented peeps (not greedy corporations) and have enough paper to pay the rent then it's all good--I don't need all that material BS.
