About Me

I AM A FRIAR!!! .. Welcome to my site! Please feel free to contact me or add a comment. I look forward to hear from you. Thank you!

My Interests

I am an emerging philanthropist and I would love to be a polymath someday. I have had the opportunity to learn a wealth of knowledge throughout my life. I am at a point of my life were I would like to share that knowledge with our youth. As adults, we have a tendancy to look down upon our youth for their ways. I say as adults, we need to be better leaders for them and show them the way. I have started to involve myself with community initiatives in Chicago. We have a great city and I will start doing a better job to make it a better place for our youth. PLEASE JOIN ME!

I'd like to meet:

THIS GUY IS MY IDLE!! DON DRAPER!!!

Music:

I love the new Common album. I listen to Hip Hop not Rap, Smooth Jazz, Classic Rock and House Music.

Movies:

300, Gladiator, Breakfast Club, Terminator 2, Cheech and Chong "Up in Smoke", Glory, Star Wars Trilogy, Full Metal Jacket, Groundhog Day, CB4, Independance Day, Shawshank Redemption, Willy Wonka and the Chocalate Factory (circa 1971) Transformers the Movie ( 1987 and 2007) and Scarface are some my favorite movies.

Television:

Television can be an excellent resource for education and entertainment. I love The Science Channel, Discovery Channel, Nat'l Geographic Channel, History Channel, FX, CNN and ESPN.

Books:

Audiobooks on the IPOD are the way to go. Angels and Demons was a great read. I also love reading about conspiracy theories. I am a huge 9/11 theorist. However, I wish I would have wrote the "Secret" and the Harry Potter books. I would be living in St. Barth's.
