About Me

practice what
you preach.

my last name isn't really greezy. that's my (future?) pen name :) first impression of me most people get...i don't know. i'm a chameleon; i have many characteristics that often are contradicting; there's always an exception to the rules, always. i love love in all its forms, be it romantic, brotherly or universal love, it's all (or should be) unconditional. i try to be as open-minded as possible but there are somethings i cannot tolerate and i'm sure i make them up as i get older. currently i'm a senior hoping to pursue a career in journalism. not so typical, but i get along.

honesty of a different brand
we must each choose our words
as you have chosen your silence"

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Music:

i feel everything from oldies to hiphop. the music from the chi is emerging: lupe, common, kanye, rhymefest. i'm inclined to the lyricists such as mos, kwe, qwel, nas, hov, immortal technique, and saul williams. also a big fan of the ladies of hiphop: lauryn hill, erykah badu, and jean grae. other hiphop artists that i'm fond of include the roots, a tribe called quest, typical cats, blackstar, pharrell, the neptunes, de la soul, atmosphere. i also love that soul found in artists like d'angelo, india arie, alicia keys, and angie stone. slow jams by latif and avant are in my likes, too. my taste further reaches out to guitarists: ben harper, jack johnson, john mayer, and gavin degraw. i've got maaaaadddd love for the beatles. and shoutout to bryan adams, eric clapton, red hot chili peppers, sting, kenny g, ray charles, stevie wonder, marvin gay, chicago, pearl jam, metallica for constantly being in my ear growing up. and shout out to my guy, jimmi stone! yuh!

Movies:

all-time favorite, brown sugar. other movies that are close behind: crash, big fish, serendipity, the notebook, sweet november, kill bill volumes one & two.

Books:

currently reading "the autobiography of malcolm x"

Heroes:

mi tres marias :)
