| General | I am a music lover! I admire people who can play the piano and sing at the same time. I am learning to play the piano and hope to walk in their shoes one day. I bought a guitar in Cali in 2006.
I don't know what I'm doing with it, but one day... I prefer live entertainment, such as concerts and plays. However, I also enjoy relaxing in the comfort of my home to watch a good movie or sporting event. | | Music |

| | Movies | There are too many to name them all; however, I love "Coming to America" for its comedy and cinematography; The Shawshank Redemption; Misery; Steel Magnolias; Grease; Dreamgirls; Soul Food; The Devil Wears Prada. I love just about any movie with Denzel Washington, Alfre Woodard, Morgan Freeman, Al Pacino, or Robert DeNiro. Sean Penn is another actor whose talent I have come to appreciate over the past several years.
