Dancing-from club to African--the beat will find me! Writing, reading, poetry readings, coffee shop banter, discussing world events, history -particularly the Middle East, camping, hiking, back-packing, rock climbing, bouldering (took a class, loved it), snowboarding, snowshoeing, X-country skiing, and damn near anything once!
Music
Anything with a dance beat, reggae, jazz, African drumming, World, Soul, hip-hop, rap, classic rock, rock, 80s hits (what can I say, I'm an 80s child).
Movies
The Color Purple (I still cry), The Shawshank Redemption (superb), Crash (speechless), Syriana (wow), Police Academy I (I almost fell out of my seat), 300 (the ultimate chic flick), and barely heard of gems: The Man from Elysian Fields, You Can Count on Me, Kinsey, Love and Basketball...to name a few.
Television
The oldies: Murder She Wrote, Perry Mason, Matlock, Droopy, Popeye, Tom & Jerry, and Northern Exposure. I'm a Law and Order junkie and I watched Sex and the City on DVD...there, I admitted it!
Books
Mine :-), but seriously though, my reading has been limited to textbooks, but the books I must finish are Infidels, The History of the Middle East, Alexander Hamilton, and Peace not Apartheid.
Heroes
Very few, but here is where I give it to the ladies: Tina Turner, Maya Angelou, Whoopie Goldberg, Oprah, Hillary Clinton, and Mia Farrow
About me:
Published Author, Mother, Computer Techie, Student, and Life-long learner. I came here to write! Perhaps I'll pick up some friends and readers along the way.
For those of you who don't know me, I started this page to introduce you to my stories--my voice. For those of you who do, I want to give you something new and fresh. You haven't heard from me in awhile, but I'm still here. I have some readers who have been wondering where I went and that's a long story, but here, I will give you a taste of what's to come. Enjoy your stay here, and please do come back!
Who I'd like to meet: So strange that I can't right off name anyone. I have great people in my life. I want to keep them. I'm open to meeting a great deal more. I'm just lucky I guess.
you taken it to deep. i'm just stating a point. and i'm sure all those people you named have that same feeling he expressed. it's a matter of feeling inside of you.
If you raised by a woman, you're gonna think like a woman. But I'm not a woman. I'm just a normal man. To me, I'm the hardest man around,the hardest nigga, because I'm real. Like Mike Tyson, I got the same heart he got. I want to knock everybody out. But I'm also very soft. I'm very sensitive, but that's why I'm so harsh, because I'm so sensitive. And that's what I think has made me successful.

I miss my friend. Summer is over and we have yet gotten together for our usual cookouts. I haven't seen dougie lately but am always on the lookout for him by the classics. We do need to get together soon. I need some sense pounded into my head! Call me!
Hey, you know Brenda Russell also wrote "Get Here," which was Oleta Adams' biggest hit . . . she also wrote "If Only For One Night," which Luther Vandross made popular.
Awe, thanks! Happy New Year to you and the boys as well! Let me know next time you're in town or maybe Vinny and I'll just have to plan a trip to UT this winter! ' ) Miss ya.
