Samba Yeah, I kinda like it a lot. I am even the reigning Samba Princess of 2007, which is somewhat of a big deal, I've been told. I like to go out to the movies, good restaurants, chillin with friends and family, capoeira, and engaging in intellectual conversations. i've also taken up crochet in my spare time just recently...not half-bad. Oh, and did i mention that formulawerks is my favorite clothing line? Well, it is. it's the official home of hustle magic...twinkle, twinkle, bytches!

Can't stop the eskista! Of course, soul music never goes out of style. Stevie Wonder and Donnie Hathaway automatically come to mind. I've never been moved to tears by the music of anyone else. I also love old skool ballads, both English and Spanish, and rancheras always make me smile. I pretty much like anything that's not bubble-gum pop, metal, country, or bad r&b/rap.
I have pretty broad tastes in movies. I like dramas, thrillers, action (especially martial arts), comedy (not romantic), and foreign films. City of God is one of my favorites, but so are Braveheart, Scarface, and Malcolm x, amongst others.
I'm not really home that often, but when I do get to watch tv, one of my guilty pleasures is watching Korean subtitled soaps; not to mention those hilarious variety shows where they're rappin in Korean, but they throw in random english phrases that you just know don't fit somehow...it's golden! Since I don't have cable, I catch up with good shows by dvd, like the Sopranos and of course, my favorite, Chapelle's Show (I'm Rick James, bytch!).Oh yeah, and I love Cartoon Network, especially the adult swim shows and Cosby Show reruns. Who doesn't love The Simpsons...
You Are Marge Simpson
You're a devoted family member who loves unconditionally.
Sometimes, though, you dream about living a wild secret life!
You will be remembered for: your good cooking and evading the police
Your life philosophy: "You should listen to your heart, and not the voices in your head." The Simpsons Personality Test or Family Guy? I know I do!
Anything by John Grisham is pretty good, or Dean Koontz. Michael Crichton isn't half-bad either, but the best fiction author I've read has been Gabriel Garcia Marquez. as for nonfiction, there's Frances Cress Welsing, Ivan van Sertima, and J.A. Rogers, the author of the volumes of "On Sex and Race."
Hmmmm, my father, high school teachers in the hood who care about their students, and single mothers who spend time being involved in their children's lives instead of dissing their fathers. sure, Gandhi and Dr King are heroes, too, but it's good to acknowledge everyday people who are doing the right thing.
