IF THAT BITCH DO YOU DIRTY, WE’LL WIPE HER ASS OUT (AS IN DETERGENT)...

About Me


Gordon Parks
America is me. It gave me the only life I know so I must share in its Survival.

Toni Morrison
When a man angers you, he conquers you.

Colin Powell
Success is the result of Perfection, Hard Work, Learning from Failure, Loyalty, and Persistence.

Martin Luther King, Jr.
If a man hasn’t discovered something that he will die for, he isn’t fit to live.

James Baldwin
One can only face in others what one can face in oneself.

Don King
Sometimes I amaze myself. I say this humbly.

One of the things that has truly stayed constant within my life has been my ability to have something to smile about!

Who Am I?? Currently...I am a work in progress. No, I'm not perfect, nor am I striving for perfection. I'm just searching for the place in my life where everything is in order: My family life, my professional life and my personal life. Currently, things are beginning to line up. I would consider myself a "Renaissance Man." I am always in search of knowledge. When I am alone, I'm reading about current events and watching informational programming. When I'm out with friends, I am making sure we all are having the best time possible. I feed off the energy of others. I am strong, patient, funny, serious and sensitive. I act practically, but understand the need for impracticality. I think modestly, but understand what thinking out of the "box" means. I've never intentionally hurt someone, despite feeling like I've been hurt intentionally. I don't have many close friends because friendship to me is an extension of my family. And family can love hard and can make you hurt even harder. With that said, thank you Bianca, Steve, Sana, Jerveris, Jarod and Booka for true friendship.

My Interests

I'm interested in making my first million dollars. I've already planned out how I'm going to invest it!! I'm interested in Pop Culture(specifically music). And I'm Always looking to have a good time.

I'd like to meet:

Lauryn Hill
Hip-Hop isn't just music, it is also a spiritual movement of the blacks! You can't just call Hip-Hop a trend!

Talib Kweli
Hip-hop isn't as complex as a woman is.

Method Man
Rap is a gimmick, but I'm for the hip-hop, the culture.

Doug E. Fresh
People can look to me as a teacher, but I consider myself a student of hip-hop.

Afrika Bambaataa
People have to understand what you mean when you talk about Hip-Hop. Hip-Hop means the whole culture of the movement.



Music:

It used to be all about the beat...but now I'm more interested in the lyrical content. I think it's cuz' I'm getting older. I listen to it all. I burn the ones that I want but might have mixed feelings about and I buy the one's that never disappoint. Some people come into our lives and quickly go. Some stay for a while and leave footprints on our hearts and we are never the same. Beyonce', Ne-Yo, Brandy, Usher, Carl Thomas, Jay-Z, Mariah Carey, Ludacris, Mary J. Blige, Kanye West, Kelis, Missy Elliot, ColdPlay, Linkin Park, Marron 5, Common, Lenny Kravitz, Goo Goo Dolls Floetry & much more...

Movies:

Crash, Finding Forrester, Serial Mom, Romeo Must Die, Fun With Dick and Jane, X-men(1,2), Set It Off, Independence Day, Dreamgirls, Ocean's 11,12, Vacancy, I Am Legend, Unbreakable

Television:

24, Run's House, American Idol, ANTM, My Wife and Kids, Top Chef, Law & Order:SVU/ Criminal Intent, House, 30 Rock, Grey's Anatomy, Making The Band 3,4(season 1 and 2)

Books:

Im really not a book person. The last one I read that's worth mentioning is "Race Matters" by Cornel West.

I get the latest news from TV, and the Internet. I can read magazines ALL day. It's probably why in school I settled for the cliff notes version a lot of times.

Heroes:

MY MOM(she is one of a kind, My True Friend), TRE'VONTE (my little cousin who just recently lost his mother but still is the same energetic, intelligent and extraordinary 8 yr old), MY SISTER(she is probably one of the most original thinkers on Earth, but I think is afraid to be known for it, which I can understand) and EVERYONE who made any contribution to PROGRESS!! Although her life was short, her memory will never die. Her legacy lives in her son, and her mission in life, Accomplished! She taught me patience, how to really laugh and how to steal fruit cups from my grandma without her knowing. I Love You Auntie Toyia!! Forever!!

Hmmm...Maybe it's just me, but I hate when I read something and as profound as the author tries to make it, it falls just short of being worth something. I think it's because my gift isn't writing, it...

I'm in the kinda mood when the way you feel doesn't concern me at all. Life is filled with those points when you transition into a different person essentially. Yes, physically, I may not look differe...
