Driving my car, riding my bike, listening to music on my iPod, computers, reading books, newspapers, and magazines, watching films, playing a game of chess, going to concerts to see my favorite artists perform on stage, and lastly...sports in Chicago. I'm talking about the Bears, Cubs, and the Bulls.
I also am a blogger. I love to write personal stories that deals with music, sports, celebrities, entertainment, news, politics, and etc. Since doing these, you guys can say that I'm a writer. LOL
Music
I like real Hip Hop music. I'm not down with no commercial radio where Hip Hop is about bling bling, ice, cars, mansions, and video vixens. I like to hear creativity, innovation, and good music of the Hip Hop culture. But, I do broaden my boundaries when I listen to music. So, I am a diverse person. I like a little bit of Pop, R & B, Alternative, Jazz, Blues, and many other genres.
Movies
Television
I don't have the time to watch television due to a lot of reality shows. But, I do watch the news, just to see what's going on in the real world.

My father who has raised me into become a young and responsible adult. May he Rest In Peace - Sylvester L. Horn (1957-2005). Also, both of my grandmothers Lorean Horn and Gertie M. Florence.

I live in Forest Park, Illinois; and been living there all my life, but also I gotta represent the city of Chicago to the fullest. I live with my mother who has multiple sclerosis. She has had this chronic disease for almost 23 years. My father is a major influence in my life. His influence helped me become more determined, more stronger, and more driven. He will definitely be missed.Rest In Peace, Sylvester L. Horn, April 03, 1957 - August 17, 2005.
I'm a college graduate at the International Academy of Design and Technology in Chicago with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in Visual Communications - Advertising Design.
I'm a nice person to hang around with. And, I also have morals and integrity. I have full confidence that I will definitely be successful in the near future. I'm also a little bit goofy, but, when it comes to work, business, and etc., I put B. S. beside me, and handle my business with responsibilities and determination to complete my assignments.
I am single for now, but I'm not on MySpace for dating. I don't believe in the dating on the Internet, I believe in love, and letting my destiny find my true love. I'm not rushing for love, I'm just a person with strong moral values. Now, if you ladies want to chat with me, I'm more than happy to be your friend.
I like to see ordinary people who are not celebrities. I would like to see some of my friends on MySpace. I like to meet people who are nice, have integrity, have ambitions in their life, and have potential. Also, I like to debate people with my philosophies about life.
I don't tolerate people who are rude, disrespectful, and treat me like I'm a nobody. My motto is this "Show me respect, I will give you respect. If you show me disrespect, YOU WILL NOT GET RESPECT BACK!! So to put it this way, I like to meet someone that wants to be about something in their lives.
