1) My all time favorite movie is Friday!
This is my favorite movie because no matter how many times I watch it it's still funny, if not funnier, than the first time I saw it. "C'mon Craig man! Stimulate your mind man, its Friday!"
2) My second favorite movie is The Color Purple
This is my absolute favorite scene from the movie. I love how the women finally feel a sense of liberation and confidence. Ironically, this scene was intended to be very serious and intense because this is pretty much the climax of the movie, but I found it to be extremely hilarious!!!!
3)My third favorite movie is Princess and, my the Frog (don't judge me :-})
People who really know me, know that I love cartoons, and Princess and the Frog happens to be one of my favorite cartoons. Although some of the representations in the film are potentially problematic , I enjoyed the storyline and the characters, especially Raymond!
4)My favorite food is CHEESECAKE! (Yes, its my favorite food, not just my favorite dessert.)
If you don't like Cheesecake I feel sorry for you, because you are missing out on life!! If you have never had cheesecake, I suggest you go to your local Publix and try some because they have really great cheesecake or try the Cheesecake Factory's Vanilla Bean Cheesecake or Red Velvet Chessecake. It's incredible!
5)My favorite past time is watching movies.
I tend to favor comedies and dramas, but I'm open to almost anything except scary movies.
6) My favorite way to express myself is through poetry.
To my first love, I am sorry that I have to go
Its nothing personal. I just have to follow
All of my dreams and aspirations
Seeing above those tree tops has always been- my motivation
To experience a world outside of my own
To embrace my strength and tackle this world alone
Looking over my life I understand that things are never what they seem
One minute people are praising God, the next minute they’re burning green
Some are shouting all over the place, while others are serene
If you let them tell it-everybody has been “saved by grace”, if you know what I mean
I’m so tired of the foolishness and the fakeness too
Don’t worry about me Love, just do you
Some of those so called Christians who are so full of shit
Live one way on Sunday, then throughout the week commit
Every sin known- to the heavens and earth
But do understand that I revere the Almighty, because HE defines my worth
Its not left to you Bible toters and Holy tongue talkers
Trying to convert everyone when they come to the alter
I attended Catholic school, but was raised Methodist
Got tired of all the titles- so I call myself a “Spiritualist”
Because it’s not about religion, but a way of living
The Almighty is all-knowing and most forgiving
So, HE knows that I was raised around a bunch of drunks
Alcohol was never my thing, but I will smoke a blunt
But that’s no excuse for all the wrong I do
I just hope HE finds it in his heart to see me through
This present journey that I wish to take
For along the way I will not forsake
Where I am from and my upbringing
“Home is where the heart is”- is what I’ll be singing
Because I cannot forget you- you are my foundation
You are my first Love, and for that I will always love you- Aiken
{This is a piece I wrote about a family member from Aiken, SC}
7) My favorite number is 7.
Seven is probably my favorite number because I was born on the 7th day, of the 8th month, in the best year of the 20th century- which I will not disclose. :-}
8) My favorite art form is music.
When everything in my life is going great, bad, or mediocre there is always a song that can explain exactly how I feel. Music truly consumes me and it gives poetry a run for its money when it comes to how I express myself. No, I am not a singer, but I love to sing and I love to listen especially to Neo-Soul and Gospel music.
9) My ultimate career goal is to own my own thriving and successful production company and studios so that I can brand my name on everything like Tyler Perry :-}.
10) Last but certainly not least, one thing you should know about me is that I am determined to succeed. Failure is not an option for me. Before I ever knew what a destiny was, I was proclaiming that "My Destiny is Greatness" and that is certainly what I believe. Whatever the future has in store for me is going to be great!!!!
