Boxing: I've loved boxing from i can remember. I like watching true warriors at work from the likes of Jack Johnson ( The worlds 1st black heavyweight champion ) to the likes of Bo Jack vs Ike Williams in the 1940's to more moden boxers like Roberto Duran, Sugar Ray Lenord, Mike Tyson , Nigel Benn, Mickey Ward, Gatti , Barerra. The real war warrior to me of the morden era is Evander Hollyfield, not because he was the best , but because he's got the biggest heart ( Remeber Holyfield - Bowe 1,2 & 3, Holyfield - Tyson 1&2, Holyfield - Lewis 1&2 ) Those wre the days !!!
I also like socializing , D.Jing , Driving , Travelling , meeting good people and networking
Music
I am a music lover and former sound system d.j , so i have a wide range of musical tastes. I love music with a good beat (Bassline) and a vocal artist to match. I also love watching a full band doing there thing.
Movies
I love films that have a twist in the plot. For me The Usual Suspect fits that bill, so does 6th Sense starring Bruce Willis.But the daddy of them all at the moment must be "SAW 1,2&3". When i was growing up, if it wasn't a comedy film then i'd watch Alfred Hitcock. i must say i do take a long time before i get to see certain films ( Still haven't finished watching Malcom X !!!!)
Television
My Wife and Kids , Dave Chappelle Show , Everybody Hates Chris, Bo Selector , Tittytitty BangBang , Flavor of Love , Top Gear , anything that's enjoyable to watch !
Books
I tend to read more newspapers and magazines , but if i do read a book it will be non fictional ( I Absorb facts like a sponge ). Some autobiographys are also a good read. A really good book i've read is about the prison riot in H.M.P Strangeways in Manchester that was written by the prisoners and gives a good insight into the fuckery's they lived with. I also like crime and special ops books.
Heroes
MY MUM: For giving me a brilliant happy childhood and all the unconditional love someone could want . I LOVE MY MUM !!!!!!
SUPERMAN: The ONLY legitimate Superhero around ( He's mum and Dad was married you know !) All other so called Hero's are bastards who accidently came into their superhero roll: Spiderman - Accident, The Hulk - Accident , Batman - To avenge parents death ....... The List Goes on
Who I'd like to meet: Real , Motivated people , Comedy fans and anybody that can advance my plans of me becoming a succesful multi millionaire !!! I've worked hard and still working hard at this shit !!!
Please do not post fuckrey's on my comment board or i will delete your shit ! Thank you.
