The beach, motorcycles, cars, old school hip-hop, bowling, cross-stitching, basketball, softball, skating, live music, traveling, etc.
Music
All old-school hip-hop, all day. Public Enemy, Big Daddy Kane, Boogie Down Productions, Queen Latifah, MC Lyte, Curtis Blow, Slick Rick, Doug E. Fresh, De La Soul...I could go on for days. If I had to pick a favorite MC, I would have to choose Rakim because his flow to me was smooth as silk, and you woukld be hard pressed to hear a curse word from anything he ever made. A rapper who can flow without cursing? Name two since 1990 and we'll talk. My favorite rapper of the here and now? Hands down, Mos Def. Hip-hop's original def poet. Gotta love him.
As for music in general, my favorite female singer is Mary J. Blige, always and forever and ever. My favorite male singer is Prince. (And I'm a real Prince fan who knows the words to 90% of his songs on everything since Soft and Wet). And my favorite group of all time is Tony, Toni, Tone. Now that was real music. I miss them.
Movies
STOMP THE YARD!! (My daughter and I have seen if five times since it came out)
THE LEAGUE OF EXTRAORDINARY GENTLEMAN (just saw it for the first time last night. I'm officially hooked!)
LOVE JONES AND POETIC JUSTICE (self-explanitory classics!)
Television
LAW AND ORDER (doesn't matter which one, re-runs included)and CSI: Miami is my new favorite. Besides the fact that I love the theme song, I love Horatio. (I secretly have a thing for white men with blue eyes and red hair. SHHHHHH...)
Books
"THE CHRONICLES OF NARNIA" series, CS Lewis (particularly "The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe")
"SOME THINGS I THOUGHT I"D NEVER DO" Pearl Cleage
Any 'Easy Rawlins' mystery, Walter Mosley
"RITUALS OF THE SEASON" Margaret Maron
Heroes
My heroes are the people who get up every morning and live their lives without looking for any type of thanks or recognition. The people who obey the law, take care of their families and help other people because it's the right thing to do.
