About Me


Myspace Layouts - Myspace Editor - Image Hosting

Let's see, where shall I begin?
Well I was born a 'po black child on the Eastern Shore of VA in dis leetle town called Suffolk. I was only there fo two years though cuz my daddy got transferred to Deadville, VA. Now they should know better than to try and take 'lil ole me away from a place so close to the beach -- and my first boyfriend Doug. Yes, we started out really early...cuz we was 'po; that, and he couldn't get enough of me in my bikini. They practically had to drag me away kickin' & screamin' and I ain't been the same since. So now every chance I gets to head for the beach, I takes it!
Now if anyone believes all that, I've got some beachfront property in Kansas that I'll sell you REAL cheap. OK, so the part about me being born in Suffolk is true and so's the part about Dad getting transferred and me being taken away from my Dougie (wonder where he is today?). Alright, alright...so the only things not true are the fact that I wasn't born 'po or black. And if any of this isn't politically correct enough for ya and yer offended, please refer to Steve Martin's "The Jerk". 'Nuff said.
So anyways, its a few years later and I still love the beach, love music, traveling, sports, hanging with friends, and all that jazz. Anyone that truly knows me will tell you that I rarely go anywhere without my camera. I love to dabble in photography. I'm no professional by any means, but a lot of my photos are pretty darned good if I do say so myself -- and I do. Hey, to quote the infamous Kid Rock, "it ain't braggin'...if you back it up." Check out the slideshow below and judge for yourselves!

Here are some memorable moments of me & my peeps:

My Interests

Enjoying live music, watching sports (mainly hockey & baseball, but I'll take football as long as Dallas is getting their butt kicked; does Nascar count as a sport?), photography, writing, hanging with friends, and any chance to take off to the beach!

I'd like to meet:

I tell you that I'd like to meet the perfect guy, but I'm convinced that's a myth and he doesn't exist. So in the meantime, "all I'm looking for is a guy who'll do what I want, when I want, for as long as I want, and then go away. Or wait nearby, like a Dust Buster, charged up and ready when needed." ~ Maxine

You aren't a big drinker, but you'll drink if the atmosphere is festive.
