About Me

found this travel layout at HOT FreeLayouts.com :: MyHotCommentsI'm a Gemini--always changing, evolving... I'm usually sweet as pie, but can flip it and be the biggest B you'll ever meet, so be nice to me and you'll get the same.I'm honest to a fault: I walk the line of tactlessness and frankness, openness and vulnerability, confidence and conceit, and look damn good doing it (see there's the latter)...I'm a proud Cape Verdean-American--if you don't know, ask...THIS IS SOOOOOO TRUE:
Your Birthdate: May 30
You have the type of personality that people either love or hate.
You're opinionated, dramatic, intense, and very outspoken.
And some people can't get enough of you - they're totally addicted.
Others, well, they wish you were a little more reserved.
Your strength: Your flair
Your weakness: If you think it, you say it
Your power color: Scarlet red
Your power symbol: Inverted triangle
Your power month: March What Does Your Birth Date Mean?

My Interests

shopping [it's more of an addiction than an interest], sleeping, eating, and dancing...

I'd like to meet:

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...

Music:

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...

Movies:

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

Television:

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)

Books:

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...

Heroes:

My mother
