About Me

Pre-order your copy of How to Hustle and Win NOW and receive it almost a month BEFORE the official release!
Im an educator. Not solely in the sense that I am a classroom teacher, which I am, but in the sense that those of us who speak to be heard are all, in essence, educators. We impact the lives of others because the weak will always follow, emulate, or rebel against, the strong. I've always felt strongly about the mission of changing the world beginning with yourself. I'm determined to affect SOMETHING on this planet. I'm NOT happy with the status quo, I'm NOT trying to keep up with the Joneses, and I'm NOT into what most of us are into. I'm not against my people, but I'm not for the BS the oppressors have gotten my people believing they are into. I've dedicated my life to others, and along the way, I've given too much at times. Lately, I'm learning to smell the roses as well. I'm not really looking for anything here, because whatever comes will come anyway. And Im a hell of a hustler. Ive sold everything from...well everything. ....

My Interests

I'M INTO: workin with at-risk youth, introducin people to new ideas and avenues of learning, vegetarian food (i can cook!) - especially thai food, startin trends without tryin, meetin people who are bout somethin, the wilderness, reading, home renovation, graphic design, women who dont need makeup, conspiracy "theories", writing, hip-hop, travelin - especially to other countries, target practice, disenfranchised people (involuntary minorities in America, all people of color worldwide, even poor whites) and the color blue.

I'M NOT INTO: sports, reality TV, followin trends without tryin, meetin people who aint bout nothin, liars, cowards, republicans, Black republicans, democrats who really think their party represents a REAL alternative to white corruption, disenfranchised people who still somehow buy into the American Dream, and celery.

I'd like to meet:

Myself ten years from now.

Music:

Dead Prez, Lost Poets, Sade, Nina Simone, Billy Holliday, Little Brother, FTP, Tru N Living, Allah Real, Brand Nubian, Poor Righteous Teachers, Killer Mike, The Diplomats, Rhymefest, Talib Kweli, Chamillionaire, T.I. (these southern rappers actually say some intelligent shit on occasion), and uh...me back when I rapped.

Movies:

The Matrix Trilogy, but really just the first one for the story and the others for the special effects...that movie is an intense analogy for the sleeping Black masses and the Black messiah that is each one of us (and a Black woman wrote it, which is why it makes sense)...The Lord of the Rings Trilogy is great for the same reason, as it tells the story of consolidation of all the white tribes in ancient Europe to repel and destroy the bordering peoples of color (and it was written by a racist professor of Old English). Other cool flicks include anything with a serious plot twist.

Television:

How the hell do people even watch Reality TV shows? Im convinced those shows lower your IQ the more you watch. Cmon people, theres enough reality in reality. I've got an idea for a reality TV show called "Poverty and Miseducation" based in any inner-city ghetto in America. Viewers can vote on who they think will die, go to jail, or OD next. The lucky winner who makes it will get a ticket out of the hood into any lily-white suburb they choose, where they and Flavor Flav can run around the town embarassing their whole race, in a spin-off show called "The Flavor of Love 2" Oh but I do enjoy Law and Order...and the Chapelle Show when it came on. Other than that, I hardly watch tv.

Books:

Books I've read and can recommend: Message to the Blackman, The Destruction of Black Civilization, The Isis Papers, A Right to Be Hostile: The Boondocks Treasury, The Iceman Inheritance, Savage Inequalities, Negroes with Guns, Anacalypsis Vol. 1 and 2, African Presence in Early Asia, African Presence in Early Europe, They Came Before Columbus, To Be A Slave, The Red Book, Making of the Whiteman, Breaking the Chains of Psychological Slavery, The Kybalion, The Condemnation of Little B...
Books I haven't read or finished yet and would like to read: The Old Testament, The Qur'an, The Upanishads (not all 118 though)...

Heroes:

Allah (Clarence 13X) and my Old Earth (my Mother), two individuals who gave themselves and all they had to offer in the selfless service of others.
