About Me


Sometimes, a hug is all what we need. Free hugs is a real life controversial story of Juan Mann, A man whose sole mission was to reach out and hug a stranger to brighten up their lives. In this age of social disconnectivity and lack of human contact, the effects of the Free Hugs campaign became phenomenal. As this symbol of human hope spread across the city, police and officials ordered the Free Hugs campaign BANNED. What we then witness is the true spirit of humanity come together in what can only be described as awe inspiring. In the Spirit of the free hugs campaign, pass this to your friends and HUG A STRANGER! If you can reach just one person.....

I make faces in the mirror while I'm getting ready for work and chase my dogs around the house with the cordless drill (no bit of couse). Every once in a while they'll trip me up and I'll fall down a couple flights of stairs and crash into the door. I've learned from experience to keep to the right as they come hauling ass down the stairs.
I am full of contradictions and some really random knowledge. My personality is go with the flow and I don't get stressed out about too much or freak out when stuff starts to fall apart.
I have a small obsession/distraction with reading and I will read just about anything books, magazines, the shampoo bottle. Sometimes I think I may have ADD.
I'm fascinated with art. All kinds. I have a bunch of empty wall space in my house so I'm trying to fill up the walls with some of my favorites and wanting to have a huge oriental, waterbrush style mural of a cherry tree painted in my stairwell.
I am a career student by choice cause I just have this desire to learn new stuff because of the so many fascinating things happening around us. I do what I can but know I will never live long enough to do it all.
I am a HUGE procrastinator and I usually fly by the seat of my pants because that is when creativity comes alive...under pressure.
I work three jobs (I'm half Jamaican) so life can get pretty crazy at times and none of the jobs are in any way related to each other. I get bored easy so I need something to break it up.
I've got two dogs that make all the crazy days seem that much more bareable and have helped me through some of the toughest times in my life....those times when you just feel like giving up. I'm seriously considering a third dog (a white boxer). I know I would have gone absolutely insane without them.
I have found the depression diets are the best. You ever want to lose 10lbs real fast...that is the way to do it.
Kudos to you if you read everything and if there is anything else you absolutely must know. Just ask.

My Interests

"A dress makes no sense unless it inspires men to want to take it off. -Francoise Sagan" -has got to be one of the best quotes I've come across in quite some time.

I'd like to meet:

The kid that tried to push my head in the toilet back in 2nd grade.

Alexander Shulgin...look it up and get back to me. Just want to say thanks for some great memories.

People who can add something to my life.

Music:

I appreciate it all. Live shows are the best and I'll go by myself...I don't care. I recently saw Lamb of God..... UNBELIEVABLE and Robin Thicke! I'll be seeing TOOL in June, PVD is coming to the 9:30 club, DJ Icey will be at FIVE, The White Stripes are coming to GMU, Starscape for Andy C, Adam F, and Ed Rush an Optical, The Virgin Festival @ Pimlico...just a glimpse at the summer lineup.
There is no way I could possibly narrow down my favorites but.....
Currently in my CD changer (I know I need to get an Ipod): 1. Robin Thicke
2. Sick Puppies
3. Pendulum
4. Sublime
5. Silver Sun Pickups
6. a space for the new White Stripes Album
7. The latest from Knowledge Magazine
8. Metallica - The Black Album
9. Lamb of God - Sacrament
10. A mix of stuff from Radio1
11. Junior Brown
12. Depeche Mode

Movies:

Tough one! I like a lot of movies!

Television:

It's addictive! I almost made it a full year without cable just to see if I could do it.
Penn State (JoPa) and Steelers Football. I've already ordered the college package from Comcast and I can't wait till it starts.
I love cartoons...some things you just never grow out of. TLC, Discovery Channel, TCM (the old black and whites), Animal Planet, Family Guy, Miami Ink, The Office, and a few others.

The original Honeymooners is by far one of the greatest shows ever.

Books:

There are way too many to list. I have a small library of unread books and magazines that always catch my attention for some reason so I buy them in the hopes that someday I'll read them. I keep telling myself to work on the ones I have before I buy anymore but it never works out that way. But every so often I'll go through everything and either give it away or recycle it.

Heroes:

I guess that would be my Mom and Dad! There is nothing they wouldn't do for me and I owe them a lot.
People who can make it through the toughest of times when it seems like there is nothing else to live for.
