I'm not fly...I'm SUPERFLY!!

About Me

Str8 goods...as we say in the vern! I just love to live life. Love to smile and make others smile.
I'm a free spirited woman. I love to dance. I dance with Caribbean Dance Theatre (beautiful group of women...look in my friend list) and I substitute teach occasionally. I play pan with Toronto's Champion band...Pan Fantasy! Trombone/Baritone for 9 years. Used to play and compete on the Electric Organ really well...but can't do it all!!! Gotta let go of some.
Music...give me something soulful, some old skool...and I luv some serious old skool too. I can listen to slow jams ALLLLLLL day long! Enjoying DC radio for that very reason. 95.5, 102.3...i'm in heaven. I'm starting to feel some of that GoGo music now too. lol...needa reach a concert.
People who could 'sing the phone book' (as Simon Cowell would say [yes, i watch American Idol]) would be Stevie Wonder, Ray Charles, Yolonda Adams, Mary J, Whitney Houston, Jill Scott, Alicia Keys, Chrisette Michelle, etc. I know I'm probably leaving out a few. As for hot-stepping music...soca, reggae, hip hop...country, lol...I do it all. Not sure if it's the American influence, but I'm in a hip hop vibe lately. Maybe I'm just deprived of everything else.
Love to travel. Been around. I love for ppl to come and visit Toronto. It's a beautiful city. The more I visit other cities, the more I appreciate it!
Entering a new chapter of my life. Living in a different place, meeting new people, considering various career paths. Life is great...especially when you focus on the blessings.
I hope that 2008 will continue to bless me. I'm at a stage in my life where it would be nice to meet someone special, but nothing good comes easy. I have standards, values, and goals. Looking for support and partnership to maintain these. Positive vibes are the only way to go.
That's it for now...keep fit & have fun.
