About Me

Myspace Layouts at Pimp-My-Profile.com / Fireworks at the beach

Welcome to the Old Skool Upper Room. The road to success is not straight. There is a curve called Failure, a loop called Confusion, speed bumps called Friends, red lights called Enemies, caution lights called Family. You will have flat tires called Jobs. But, if you have a spare called Determination, an engine called Perseverance, insurance called Faith, and a driver called Jesus, you will make it to a place called Success. I was born in Newport News, VA (aka Bad News)...home of Allen Iverson, Michael Vick, and Aaron Brooks to name a few. My father was in the military so I moved around to different cities and states when I was younger until we finally settled in Columbus, Ohio. After college I moved to Raleigh, North Carolina for 3 years and I just moved to Richmond, Virginia with my job. The most important thing I have learned as I got older is that NOBODY is promised tomorrow, so take advantage of your opportunities today! One common thing that everybody that knows me will say about me is that I'm real, have a great personality, and I can make ANYBODY laugh. Finally, R.I.P to my friends who no longer roam the earth in the physical, but now watch over us in the spiritual: B-Free, Mike Shoals, Quan (Ritzz), Roland, Jamal, Rahman, Isaac, Natalie, Lee, Chris, JT, Keisha G., Harold G. and all others I forgot to mention. Anything else you need to know send me a shout.

Finding ways to make money and creating ways to improve my life by eliminating negativity and accepting GOD's blessings. Through HIM, ALL things are possible.

I would like to personally meet and thank everyone involved in the civil rights movement (Black and White) who died WILLINGLY and fought with the knowledge that they could be killed to give me the opportunity to be able to make a MySpace website! Also, my great-Grandfather and my early descendants so that I could trace my entire family history in America.

Pimp My Profile

Music:


I listen to 80% Old School music because all this new garbage is boring and sounds the same. I like the good music like Teddy Pendergrass, Patti Labelle, Isley Brothers, Earth-Wind & Fire, O'Jays, Mary J, AL Green, Harold Melvin & the Blue Notes, Temptations, Roberta Flack, Marvin Gaye, etc. and mostly hip-hop that came out from 1990 to 2003 (UGK,Scarface,Outkast,E-40...almost everything from the South and West coasts).

Movies:

My favorite movies are Scarface, Casino, Heat, and Trading Places... width="425" height="350" ..

Television:

I mainly watch CourtTV, Sports, Discovery Channel, Judge Mathis (everyday), Cheaters, Law&Order, Family Guy, Sanford & Son reruns or anything funny. Other than that, if something good is on I will watch that or pop in a movie. .. width="425" height="350" ..

Books:

Lately....The Bible, Black Enterprise, "Prayers and Promises for Black Men", and "Loose That Man and Let Him Go" by TD Jakes.

Heroes:

My main heroes are God and my entire family, especially my parents and sister. My other heroes are those people, Black and White, who we see on documentaries and read about in Biographies that risked (and sacrificed) their lives so that Blacks could live equal to Whites. It saddens me to see people tortured, hung, raped, and decapitated just for using a White restroom or trying to ride a bus and we still have ignorant people who live right next to the library and won't go vote or continuously blame "The Man" as the reason they don't have a job. If an immigrant can get a job cutting grass or cleaning buildings 5 minutes after he crosses the border, don't you think your lazy ass should cut some grass or go fill out an application somewhere instead of breaking into my house for something "free"!
