I REALLY LOVE BEING AN ARTIST AND EVEN BEING CONSIDERED AN "ARTIST". I would have never thought photography was going to be my means of expression...please check out some the very kool works on the site @ www.savvystudios.photoreflect.com; look in the new galleries under "theArtGallery" and/or "L'ArtGallerieRisque". that stuff's pretty cool! and of course, ROLLER SKATING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!...and then, a very near 2nd is MUSIC! I AM A CLINICALLY DIAGNOSED "FREAK FOR GAMES AND PUZZLES"!!!!!!! Chess, Yachtzi, Othello, Uno, Word Puzzles, Number Puzzles, Logics (of course SUDOKU), be it solving them and/or creating them; I have a puzzle book in every bathroom (go figure)!!! I love playing football, soccer, tennis, table tennis, racing cars, boating, riding horses, cycling and golf...I LOATHE BEING A SPECTATOR OR HAVING TO "CATCH THE GAME ON THE AIR"! Some of the X-Treme sports are kool, it's just that we were doing a lot of that stuff when I was a kid, and Mountain Dew/Pepsi weren't putting out as sponsors back then (didn't mean to vent)... I love the rain, lightening and all...I love the mountains and I love the sea...I love my natural high and watching people wonder which drugs I'm doing...I love kids, raising them and nuturing them (I will never grow up)! I am old fashioned, but not to the point of not recognizing that times and people do and must change (sorry for "DOUBLE-NEG). I believe that there are never any winners from war, and that those who start wars should be the first to the front lines...I believe that Dr,. Seuss was a social activist and I believe that humans should only drink their own milk like every other creature on the planet...I believe swallowing watermelon seeds is OK and I believe Condi Rice should have left when she had the chance...MORE TO COME...
I literally like all music with exception of music that flagrantly degrades and exploits those who it relys upon for support and financial growth all in the name of "FREEDOM OF SPEECH" and the Amerikkkan (Capitalistic) Way......my bad, was the insertion of random beautiful women who have graced my studios over the years too much of a distraction...lol. kinda' like those radio news spots in Chris Rock's "HEAD OF STATE"...
Any great cliffhanger thriller that artistically leaves you hangin' until the end of the movie; horror flicks don't even come close. As for faces, in the male category we have S. Jackson, L. Fishburne, M. Freeman, J. Wright, M. Peebles (Jr. & Sr.), B. Underwood, DENZEL, J. Foxx, L. Tate, SHAFT (the Black James Bond), David Allen Grier, T. Davison, B. Willis, T. Cruise, A. Sandler, J. Black, H. Ford, J. Voight, K. Sutherland, LENNY (RIP) & JACK (from Law&Order), MONK, the Entire Wayans Family, and there might be a couple of more; can't really recall right now...For the Ladies, is there anyone in Hollywood more naturally beautiful than Pam Grier, Cicely Tyson, or Nia Long?! Beauty, wisdom, and skill, these Sistahs BRING IT!!! Then there's all of the Sistahs from GIRLFRIENDS (SEX IN... don't hold a candle to these Queens), Sanaa, Ms. Berry (I am so glad they upgraded your role in X3...), D. Reese, L. Rashon, D. Allen, P. Rashad, all the Sistahs from "...EXHALE", especially A. Bassett (...I like a raspy voice); y'all know there's clearly an invisible ceiling in Hollywood, so the list of Sistahs is lackin' and probably won't be as extensive as the one for the guys...let's see, then there's B. Midler, S. Bullock, A. Judd, M. Streep, S. Weaver, G. Close, L. Tyler, D. Barrymore, and D. Moore...Now, behind the lens, let's face it, if it says JERRY BRUCKHEIMER anywhere near the title, you know it's going to be loud and a bit surreal (and probably grossing 60-80 million). "BIG UPS" TO SPIKE LEE (GETTIN' HIS 40 ACRES and A MULE JOINTS) AND JOHN SINGLETON; AGAIN TO THE PEEBLES FAMILY. AND SURELY I WOULD BE REMISS IF I DID NOT ACKNOWLEDGE GORDON PARKS FOR HIS INSPIRATION TO MORE THAN ONE ART MEDIUM AND UPON MORE THAN ONE THIRSTY SOUL. REST IN PEACE GOOD BROTHA!
uhhh, is there anything but Law&Order (CI), Monk, House or CSI?!?!...oh yeah, Jimmy Neutron and Fairly OddParents!...i remember, BACK IN THE DAY, when there were only 3 stations to choose from and all of 'em signed off by midnite with "starbanglesbanners" song (OH SAY CAN YOU SEE I'M IN SOME SERIUOS NEED...)
...heck, I'll read darn near anything, from "The Cat int the Hat" in different languages to a Lisa Scottoline thriller to the Psuedepigrapha...i'm cursed from childhood! I LOVES TO READ!
All My Children, both those that I have made and those who chose me (listed in chronologically order)...Justin, Jazmine, Ikechi, TuereMaia, Aisha, Rashidah, Tracie, Imani, Jessica, Mosade, Tia, Jonathan, Karrina, Myia, Chike, Mashyda, Fabunmi, Kiambi, Lamide, Ayan, Kwabena, Zion, Alexis, Chantell, Faseye, our newest Granddaughter Carmen Shanel, and anyone else who's suppose to be in this list (there are quite a few...) BIG SMILE!Every Black Man who has ever proved the statistics and the status-quo wrong, Marcus Garvey, Jack Johnson, Paul Robeson, All of the Afrikan-American Lauriates (male or female) from the Harlem Renassaince Era, Phyllis Wheatly and Paul Laurence Dunbar, All Deltas and All ES's, Prince Hall, Brother Mumia, Stevie Wonder, Ella Fitzgerald, the Tuskegee Airmen & the Buffalo Soldiers, Inventors, All underpaid teachers (teaching the truth) & very few overly paid athletes (sorry Playas, but Jessie Owens, Jackie Robinson, Hank Aaron, Althea Gibson nor Jim Brown ever made 2.7mil a year plus endorsements or used performance enhancing meds, but they definitely opened door for all of you), and most of all my mother, Hattie, My M-I-L, Brenda, my sisters Sonja, Sabrina, Sreda, Shava, & Laura, my wife and Queen, Efunyemi, and any other Sistah who has withstood the arduous task of being a SBM (SINGLE BLACK MOTHER) in these United States of Amerikkka!
