shopping [it's more of an addiction than an interest], sleeping, eating, and dancing...
Mostly those who I knew before...or anyone who is willing to throw copious amounts of cash in my direction... oh, and Morris Chestnut, Henry Simmons, Dwayne Johnson, and Boris KodjoeDon't add anyone I don't know. If you want to know anything else about me, read the blogs...
Mostly R&B (from the 60s to today); soul (neo and old school); REAL hip hop; Latin music (salsa, merengue, bachata); Cape Verdean music.
I also like a lot of random songs in other genres (everything from country to reggeaton to power rock ballads) Basically anything that I can sing off-key to, shake my ass to, get my groove on to, or cry to...
Dangerous Liaisons, The Color Purple, Mommy Dearest, Beaches, Lion King, Like Water for Chocolate, Ever After, Diary of a Mad Black Woman, Love Jones, Two Can Play that Game, The Best Man (anything with Morris Chestnut in it--I'm slightly obsessed), Love and Basketball, The Wood (um, yeah, and Omar Epps... love him too), and crime movies
Nip/Tuck, Boondocks, Golden Girls, Family Guy, Sex and the City, Girlfriends, Days of Our Lives, America's Next Top Model, American Idol... I guess I watch too much TV. Also, I'm addicted to home or person improvement shows(What not to Wear, Design on a Dime)
ah, reading for pleasure, what a memory...I'm hoping to one day pick up this habit again... I own a lot of racially conscious fiction and nonfiction... I love poetry (I even try to write it sometimes); among my favorites: Nikki Giovanni, Sonia Sanchez, Langston Hughes, Rita Dove; oh, and magazines: lots of those...
