TERRELL / TILFORD - ProfilesArchive

About Me

************************************************************ ***** You've watched him seduce Bird on Showtime's Soul Food, woo Lisaraye on All of Us, as Jill's date on Girlfriends, flatter Aunjanue Ellis on the medical drama MDs, as Detective David Grant on the daytime drama Guiding Light, as a mutated Klingon on Enterprise, playing Robert in the award-winning film anthology The DL Chronicles: Robert, doing time for doing the crimes on the CSI series; most recently as "Dr. Carrington" playing opposite the Emmy-nominated star of Days of Our Lives Deidre Hall, as well as his critically-acclaimed work on stages from New York to Los Angeles... Terrell Tilford has entered the atomic-cyber-cosmic network known to you all as MySpace! ************************************************************ ******Now, if you're profile is set to Private, it makes it difficult to learn anything about you and accept you as a Friend...just setting the tone...Secondly, if you send me a message, I will respond as soon as I am available. Don't get all-Crazy if i don't respond to you right away...just setting the tone...Now, let's move forward...If you're reading this for the first time, so much has changed, yet so much has remained the same. You choose. *** My true friends are amazing... i love them... what better way to spend life than to kick it with them... whether it's dinners, drinkin', debatin' or simply just living. I'm that brotha in the backyard smokin' meats on the grill & smoker, sitting in front of the Buddha fountain with friends & family, "surveying my 'lil land" instead of hittin' a club scene. I've done that part. Every now and then it's cool. But I'm good.***Life is about expression and I'm fortunate to be able to choose how I want to indulge that expression. But as private as I profess to be, I have also become fascinated with this extension to the rest of the world: MySpace.com.***Those were my old beliefs... i'm not so convinced anymore... if we can make it interesting and worthwhile for one another, that would be a beautiful thing... otherwise, let's not press the issue and move forward.So I'm here to take a ride, see where other people's interests and desires may fall in suit with my own. And to celebrate those differences as well.***God has blessed me to infinite degrees. I am so grateful, yet I do my best to be humble, as well.***So let's move forward, in positive light & energy and see where this music takes us.***It intrigues me to be here -- at times -- and when and if the music ever stops or I've learned all I believe this particular journey will afford me, I guess I'll check out... well, metaphysically speaking, that is...***Be Well. Be You. Power. Dominion. Mastery. Authority.
