About Me

I edited my profile at Freeweblayouts.net , check out these Myspace Layouts!
My name is Journalist1906 and like my name would suggest, I'm a journalist.In addition to my full time job as a reporter for a suburban paper in metro Detroit, I am also a music and entertainment reporter for Detroit Metromix . If you are an artist or in the entertainment industry send me your press materials.
My other interests include sports,music and politics. I'm a Hip-Hop head that was a Hip-Hop artist in a past life. I still have a few bars left in me so who knows what the future holds.
A few words I would use to describe myself
Loyal
Hard-working
Intelligent
Creative
Humorous
2008 my goals are simple. Live life to the fullest, continue to grow financially and emotionally. Always strive for success and march Onward and Upward Towards The Light!
If you want to know more just ask.
Which Star Wars Jedi/Sith are you?
Yoda
Dynamite in a small package, and long-lasting, like the Energizer bunny. While you are wise and calm, you are able to call on your killer instincts and be kick-ass. Some may call you a ‘sleeper’. With such great power comes some arrogance, but you are quick to return to humility and fix your mistakes. You have certainly left your mark on the world, in good and bad ways, and it was kinda sad to see you go. But no need to worry, you have gained immortality even though you can’t wield your toothpick of a lightsabre anymore.
