Charles da Fizz Presents: Your Trouble Clef!!!

My doubts shiver in the presence of my faith.

About Me

Who is the Fitz? I am ordered chaos and very few know the order. I'm a giver and a nurturer, sometimes to excess and to the detriment of myself and my relationships. You can't give it all, right? I heard it's a sin. Anyway, I am spontaneous and fun-loving, I delight in love and I praise passion... and I like people. Most of all, I like people and enjoy interacting with people. Funny, it took me over a year to fill out this form to meet people, huh?....

My Interests

I love anything related to music including: dancing, singing, singing in the rain, musical chairs, listening to and dissecting music, buying music, making music, watching music being made, ballets, symphonies, orchestras, operas, musicals, nightclubs, dance contests, watching performances on TV, choreographing, etc. Other than that, I'm into good wine and spirits, catching a movie or a flick, meeting new people in new places, travelling, skydiving, water sports, the occasional walk, etc: essentially, I'm a hedonist, voyeur, exhibitionist...I believe in living to extended limits, care to join me?

I'd like to meet:

Anyone who would like to meet me...I'm not easily offended and I enjoy meeting people, so try me...we can figure out the details along the way.

Music:

Oh yes! Stevie Wonder, MJ, Aretha Franklin, Chaka Khan, Gladys Knight, Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holliday, Nat King Cole, Frank Sinatra(voice smooth as budda), Rahsaan Patterson, Raphaal Saadiq, Mariah Carey, Toni Braxton, Whitney Houston, Al Green, Marvin Gaye, Sam Cooke, Santana, Outkast, Jay-Z, Nas, Beyonce', Tupic, Biggie, Wu-Tang, Common (one time for the Chi), John Legend, Tracie Spencer, Glenn Jones, Babyface, After 7, Kenny Lattimore, Kelly Clarkson, Rob Thomas, INXS, Eurythmics, Blondie, LL Cool J, Run DMC, drum-n-bass, Afro-Rykan Rhythms, Bob Marley...can we just say any good music of any genre?

Movies:

The Color Purple, The Usual Suspects, The Wiz, Goodfellas, Where The Day Takes You, Requiem For a Dream, Fight Club, House Party, Harlem Nights, Boyz In The Hood, Menace To Society, Sugar Hill, The Notebook, Before Sunrise, Before Sunset, Crash, Any Jet Li Film, Nightmare on Elm Street Part I, Halloween I, The original Night of the Living Dead, It....I'm out of breath...

Heroes:

Paul Robeson, hands down. Despite all odds and everyone telling him that he could not do it, he DID EVERYTHING! He was a scholar, an athlete, an attorney, a thespian, an activist. They had to shut down his passport to stop him! On a more personal level, I give props to my moms for sticking in there...and I'll leave it at that.
