Music
Chris Doakes! & recently I was introduced to Chrisette Michele. She was introduced to the world on Nas' single. That song was cool, but it was NOTHING compared to her album. I AM is the most beautiful, honest, compelling album from a female artist in a LONG time. If you haven't heard it, you're missing something GREAT! I'll stop being a Chrisette Michele groupie now. :-) I also have to do a mini-advertisement for Shamora. She's just as wonderful as Chrisette, but she's not quite as famous yet. She's outta AtL. Check her out when you can! (www.shamora.com) That's enough of that.
Law and Order: SVU, CSI, Family Guy, Futurama, Monk, The 4400, House, The Boondocks, random news & sports channels to catch up on what's going on in the world
You are a virtual roller coaster of emotions, and most people enjoy the ride.
Your mood tends to set the tone of the room, and when you're happy, this is a good thing.
When you get in a dark mood, watch out - it's very hard to get you out of it.
It's sometimes hard for you to cheer up, and your gloom can be contagious.
