It's late and I'm feeling so tired/having trouble sleeping/this constant compromise between thinking

About Me

"I CAN'T WINK, SO I'LL JUST TURN TO THE SIDE AND BLINK. LIKE THIS." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~READ/COMMENT MY BLOG, "YOU'D WISH YOU COULD TAKE CREDIT FOR THESE..." I'M A BALLSY CHATTERBOX WHO NEVER SHUTS UP. AND, YEAH, MUFUGGA, I DO HAVE AN OPINION ON EVERYTHING. I LOVE TO LAUGH; FORTUNATELY, I'M ABSOLUTELY HILARIOUS... SO THAT SHIT WORKED OUT QUITE NICELY hahaha. [I'm also nerdy enough to know "hilarious" evolved from the Latin hilaritas, from hilaris/hilarus, taken from the Greek hilaros meaning "cheerful."] IF MY HEAD AND MY HEART WANT IRRECONCILABLE THINGS, I GO WITH MY HEART. I'M FROM CA, BUT I'M A NEW YORKER AT HEART AND I PLAN TO MOVE THERE SOMEDAY. I'M PROUD TO BE A NON-SMOKER. I'M A NEAT FREAK WHO LOVES TO ORGANIZE AND SWEARS BY ANTIBACTERIAL PRODUCTS. I'M OBSESSED WITH FRENCH FRIES. I PROBABLY COULDN'T SHOW UP ON-TIME TO/FOR ANYTHING IF MY LIFE DEPENDED ON IT. I HONESTLY NEVER WEAR MAKE-UP. DON'T LET THE OCCASIONAL GIRLY OUTFIT FOOL YOU: I'M SO DOWN TO CHILL WITH THE GUYS. **I HAVE A TOTAL WEAKNESS FOR LIGHT-SKINNED/CARAMEL BROTHAS AND HALF BLACK/HALF WHITE GUYS.** SHIT I CAN'T STAND: SPELLING, GRAMMATICAL, & TYPOGRAPHICAL ERRORS ["you're" & "your" are not to be used interchangeably: "go read a book, you illiterate s.o.b., step up yo' vocab"]; A DISREGARD FOR PROPER HAND-WASHING; SLOBS; NOISY EATERS; SMOKING; POTHEADS; THE AUSTRALIAN VERSION OF "ENGLISH;" AND WHEN PEOPLE USE THEIR PHONES WHILE BEING HELPED/RUNG UP.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

My Interests

TALKING, COMEDY [ESP. STAND-UP], LIGHT-SKINNED/CARAMEL BROTHAS, MANIFESTATIONS OF MY OCD, DETAILS, WRITING, FAMOUS QUOTES, ETYMOLOGY, GREETING CARDS, AND OLD-SCHOOL MUSIC. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I'd like to meet:

"'Side from Sammy [Davis] you're my best black Jew" --Amy Winehouse ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ A FUNNY, NON-SMOKING JEWLATTO [JEWISH MULATTO] WHO LOVES THE ART OF CONVERSATION... AND IF HE'S GOT A NEW YORKER ACCENT, OOOOOHHH, I'MA JUST LOSE IT!!! Swap that for a British accent and you've got my obsession of the last seven years, *CRAIG DAVID*. I'd love to meet all my favorite brothas like WILL SMIF, SHEMAR MOORE, BORIS KODJOE (Jewlatto)-- the list goes on ad infinitum. Legends like STEVIE WONDER and Sir PAUL McCARTNEY... I've been mush for the charming HUGH GRANT for years now... My girl MARIAH CAREY, who's still doing the damn thang... And I'd give anything to meet G-d's gift to the world, OPRAH.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ^^^^^^^You die a little when you lose someone you love.

...and Avant, Eric Benet, Chris Brown (he said "hi" to me through my cousin during '07 Grammys), Keyshia Cole, Common, DMX, Faith Evans, Ginuwine [who evidently makes me utter donkey mating-calls], Whitney Houston, Steph Jones (who knows me as the girl who is "always shaking" around him, which he thinks is "the cutest thing in the world [but also] weird because [he'd] never experienced anything like that before"... that quote is from a live webcast that I recorded part of; there's also audio & text of him talking about me on page 2 of this interview: http://think2wice.org/interviews/steph-jones but it should be clarified that I was shaking/trembling & stumbling all over my words-- not stuttering & crying), Talib Kweli, Maroon 5, James Morrison [not to be confused w/ Jim], Jason Mraz, Neyo, Puffy, Mario Winans, Bill Withers, and a grip of other old school artists and neo-soul artists.
