About Me

So....for as long as I have had my artist page....i have had this long....BLAH BLAH BLAH Artist Bio validating everything i have done in relation to my poetry, my acting, my clothing line.....etc.etc.etc....like i said....BLAH BLAH BLAH.....well....i got really bored and overwhelmed today when i looked at my page.......so i decided to erase my whole Bio....at least for the time being......that if you REEEEEEEALLY wanna know about what i've done, or you wanna know me on a more intimate level, then you can go to my website at: www.gabrielagarciamedina.com and read my blogs at: www.sitv.com/blogs/whatshot/author/gabrielagarciamedinaInste ad....i will share with you my horoscope for this week of Sept 6th through Sept 12th......I read it weekly at: www.nightlightnews.com and it always seems to be pretty accurate to my life!!!:LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): The past twenty years have been something, yes? Almost unbelievable, at times very difficult with very specific decisions made. There will be in the next several years a stripping away, a leaving of many things no longer useful or productive. You may face fears and worries but the more you eliminate, the less fear there will be. The past will be faced with thoughtful intelligence, mental clarity and strength. And the meaning of your life becomes clear.So I do have to promote my Book though....cause that is my HUSTLE!!!! SO if you wanna purchase a copy of my book "INK-SCRIBING OSHUN"...just click on the image ABOVE and it will take you straight to PAYPAL! THANK YOU FOR YOUR LOVE AND SUPPORT!My new book "IN THE WAKE OF OYA" will be available on August 2nd, 2007.
