My Interests

I love music. All Kinds. Shopping & Roadtrips are two of my favorite past-times. I am pretty outgoing, I like meeting new people..seeing new places. Then sometimes I like to just chill and watch a good movie. Oh, and I'm a nerd....cause I love school (Shh! Don't tell anyone). I like good conversation too, cause I express most of my thoughts out-loud. But I can sit for hours at a in a library or a coffee shop (love starbucks...) and not say a word, cause that's cool too. Yeah, i'm pretty weird. Still dope at the same time.

I'd like to meet:

.anyone with a story to tell.Yo Hablo EspaÃ±ol. Y tu tambien?

Music:

I'm pretty eclectic. Pick up my iPhone, you'd be surprised at what you'll find. I listen to it all, from Beyonce to Sara Bareilles, The Roots to Fall Out Boy, Lauryn Hill to Britney Speears (lol I admit it..), and Talib Kweli to Joss Stone. I happen to be a diehard Jay-z Fan, Beyonce is my favorite singer, Fall Out Boy is for the rock days, Joss Stone is when I need some 'blue-eyed soul', Keyshia Cole when i'm going through alot, Lupe when I wan to hear real hip-hop, India.Arie when I'm feelin a little Neyo Soul-esq, or a little bit of Ms. Winehouse on the dark days...Rihanna if I want to party. :) I can also go old school and understand Stevie Wonder, and i'm not too cool for a little Prince, or 80's favorites like Journey. lol, Get the point?

Movies:

I gave up caring what people think years ago. My favorite movies are probably movies everyone else hates. A Walk to Remember. She Hate Me. Zoolander. Remember the Titans. 'O'. The Craft. Eve's Bayou. The Color Purple. Rent. Aladdin (for the kid in us all). My Girl (a classic). Home Alone (cause it never gets old).

movies are nice, but I much rather see it live

Television:

I never watch TV anymore. My favorite shows were like..Def Poetry Jam and Boy Meets World, haha.

Books:

The Coldest Winter Ever.7 Habits of highly effective people.48 Laws of Power.Monster.Speak.We Wish To Inform You.Why are all the Black Kids Sitting Together in the Cafeteria?Candide.Leviathan.
