You touched me in places no man or woman can reach,
you gave me spiritually erotic orgasms and stuttered my speech.
You have a gift that no one can teach, you let me be your muse,
As you whispered in my ear, and made my body amused.
I can never give you what you've given to me,
You rescued me from the darkness and let me be free.
Music is my lover, when there's sexual tension...
I'm addicted to music and don't want an intervention!
Aaliyah; Rest in Peace
I REALLY LOVE MUSIC! It's a part of me! It's soothing and speaks to me.
My music taste is very eccentric. I dab in a little bit of everything. My favorite is soulful music other words R&B. I REALLY LOVE 80's R&B! I can't even express that to you. Rap is acceptable in small portions. Most of it objectifies women and glorifies violence and ignorrance, which to me is what MLK was fighting for us not to deal with! It's not the same so now I usually am just listening to rap for the beat. I also like Jazz, Classical, Alternative/Rock, and Gospel.
Here's a small list: PRINCE/Aaliyah/RadioHead/OUTKAST/ANDRE 3000!!
/Goodie Mob/Juvenile/Lil Flip/Missy Elliott/Notorious BIG/Slum Village/2 Pac/Amel Larrieux/Kirk Franklin/Donnie McClurkin/Anthony Hamilton/
Christina Milian/Monica/Ashanti (sometimes).../Big Pun/Fat Joe/I-20/Dave Hollister/Jagged Edge/Kelis/Mary J. Blige/Mya/Al Green/NERD/PRINCE!!!!
and the list goes on..OBVIOUSLY

Television
Now that I've gotten older, I barely watch t.v or remember to routinely watch any thing. But some shows I've seen and like are: CHAPPELLE'S SHOW, Fresh Prince, In Living Color, SmallVille, The Cosby Show, That 70's Show, Will & Grace, FORENSIC FILES, Cold Case Files, Desperate Housewives, Proud Family, SpongeBob, Family Guy, Nip/Tuck, My Wife N Kids, George Lopez. And unfortunately there's more so called "reality" programs than anything anymore... Besides the ONLY reality t.v. that is reality, is "Punk'd". No one stops acting- unless they don't think you're watching....

~Khalilah Yasmin is an influential *WRITER* and has been writing since the age of four. Blessed she is, as she inherited her WRITING gift, as another would inherit their eyes. Her long term goal is FILM WRITING/directing. She believes it is not where u are now that defines you, it's where u are going. Looking for a mentor.
Khalilah; a positive role model, has self-published her First Edition of her poetry book Entitled; "Esoteric Calligraphy-The Art of Beautiful Writing, understood only by few". .
This is ONLY the beginning!!!
Stay tuned!...
~ I live in Omaha, NEB Currently and that will change in 2009.
AND AS FAR AS MODELING... My first photo shoot was the result of me doing a poetry competition....and I decided to let it become a networking tool and form of artistic expression. Anything that allows me to express myself is enjoyable. Creativity is priceless :)
**MISC INFO: So you're probably already judging me as most people do. But I'm A hard person to figure out, so judge if you want to. ONLY GOD'S opinion matters and I couldn't care less. :) I was named after Khalilah "Belinda" Ali. My name means "Friend of God" and "Peace" and these are things I am after. I speak my mind
I'm a *WRITER*, I'm about PEACE, GOD FEARING, Loyal, I get along with everyone. I take pride in being unique!
I'm fascinated with *STARS* as those in the sky---NOT celebrities-they are just normal people. Be your own star. I'm an analytical thinker, enjoy intellectual conversations, eccentric, OPEN minded~LOVE to laugh~, Serious at times (Goofy at others)....
I'm a "People Watcher". lol But since I write, I sometimes imagine what others lives are like for inspiration. It can be a lot more entertaining to sit outside and watch people than t.v. nowadays.. And as far as writing....I began with short stories...and now am working on a novel.
THE BEST IS YET TO COME and I'm one who's willing to wait for good things!
I'm Very forgiving but will not be ran over or OUT. I'm generally nice, but if you CROSS ME, it's over. No enemies that I know of.. ;0) I'm pretty PRIVATE. I keep to myself. Don't really care for clubs except special occasions.
LOYALTY is extremely important to me. If you are good to me, I'll be good to you as long as we are in agreement on those terms. Trust is hard to earn, easy to lose. I forgive, but I don't forget. :) The Word LOYALTY may very well just be my first tattoo.
I believe in equality for relationships/friendships! IF I cannot stand beside you, I WILL NOT, stand behind you. A lot of females like to compete with each other. I for one don't have time or patience. I love the person God made me into. From inside out! So-I compete with NO ONE! Yet if I were to compete with someone it'd be MYSELF, for only I am on the same level with myself to compete with. ONLY I have had my experiences, my thoughts, and my trials to bring me here. (that SHOULD go for us all!)
Jealousy is a sickness, and it's contagious, don't bring it around me.
My Strongest Feature is my MIND! And if you're brave...follow me on Twitter.com

GOD! ~Powerful Females~JADA PINKETT-SMITH,~ "INTERESING PEOPLE". People that are living to reach their God given PURPOSE! Anyone that leads a purpose driven life. Those pursuing the Entertainment industry.. Like minded people, artists.. But I generally like ALL types of people. As long as you're not into worshiping Satan, we're cool.
I'm here primarily to network and meet like minded individuals. Also old friends that have lost touch...
~~I'd like to know where u are going and what steps you have taken to get there... Let's encourage one another.
I'd also like to meet people that are a positive influence in society. There's so much evil in the world, that we need to focus on the good. Peace awaits us all!!! Choose forgiveness instead of revenge, choose to befriend instead of belittle! You never know what someone has been thru or is going thru..... and what your influence may mean to them, be it good or bad. WHICH WILL YOU BE???
~IMPORTANT MESSAGE TO ASPIRING MODELS CAN BE FOUND IN BLOG! But some 4 quick advice, take some1 with you on all first shoots. Be it a friend, family member, Mace, or what I like to call A lil piece of mind.
Call me crazy, but I bet u he won't try that ish again. :)
PS..I DO NOT "personally" KNOW MANY OF THE "friends" saved below...If someone asks to be added, I occasionally add. Not to be a Starbucks buddy or date you, but to network/encourage/connect. I don't want 10,000 friends again to be the Black Tila Tequila or anything...so I try to be selective. Deleting 10,000 people, was not fun.
awww I appreciate the compromise mama.. ill be sure to leave u comments/messages ...& get on facebook more often.. muuuuah!!! it was so good to see u.. nxt time I wnt be sick.. muuuuuuuaaaahh!!!!!
...a poem is pure energy horizontally contained between the mind of the poet and the ear of the reader if it does not sing discard the ear for poetry is song if it does not delight discard the heart for poetry is joy if it does not inform then close off the brain for it is dead
if it cannot heed the insistent message that life is precious
