About Me

****Please, no friend requests from strangers****

****Please, no friend requests from strangers****
I am new to myspace and I dont really know what is going on here. But I had to join when it seemed like everyone in the world was on here (including my 13 year old cousin -the die-hard shad moss fan- whatever).Anyway, I am originally from the bronx but I traveled so much I can't remember where everyone knows me from. I have a knack for languages too. Must be my ancient african roots. I've lived in Miami, New York, Japan, Atlanta and the Dominican republic. I've visited thailand, amsterdam, london, and more.My silly all time dream is to travel one day with just my purse and passport, no luggage.I am still waiting for that "when I grow up" feeling. Seems like there are so many things to do and still do. I have done everything from owning vending machines, to being a beach bum to being a graphic designer to being the woman pointing at spiderman on a movie set to writing food reviews for newspapers to working as a stage designer to selling american cd's on a carpet in tokyo. I wish life weren't so interesting and I wish there weren't so many fun things to do and people to meet. I wish there weren't so many countries and cities and towns and streets with so many fun people with interesting and intriguing stories. I wish there werent so many mountains and lakes and sunsets and strips. I wish there werent only 24 hours in a day, and 365 days in a year, and I wish we didnt only have 20 years of youth, 30 years of adulthood and 100 years of life. I wish I could do everything my heart and head and soul desired. If only I had enough time.

I've met a person who designs diamond layout in jewelry. The person who creates color combinations for hair dye, a cookie creator, a lexicologist on a team in charge of creating new dictionary words, a person who turns silicone into shampoo, a hiroshima survivor, a 13 year old recovering prostitute, authors, actors, movie stars, a KKK member, an hatian rebel fighter, cancer survivors, entrepreneurs, moguls, millionaires and homeless menI met so many people and I wish to meet more. Everybody has an interesting story worth listening to.

Music:

oldies, r&b

Movies:

I can no longer enjoy movies. I only think of how each scene takes 14 hours to shoot. I can also only stare at the amount of shots used and search dilligently for breaks in continuity ex: cutaways where someone's hairstyle keeps changing... or the coke can in the back keeps switching sides. hehe

Television:

Too much TV is not good for you

Books:

Reading is fundamental

Heroes:
