.....Wow... what can i say.. i LOVE good food and even better music. i find bad food and mediocre music offensive. i can not and will not stop dancing... good sitcoms and classic cartoons always make me smile too. ******************************** I'm an old-fasion gurl, but love having a blast, i'm talkin bout those life changing carpe-diem type of experiences that you really cherish. Tryin to SKYDIVE at some point, go to trapeze school, and learn how to ride a motorbike sooner than later. went shark-diving in the pacific a few years ago (got sick on the little dinghy boat though!)**************************************Geez... whatelse about meee?? I'm 5'11 and never felt so AVERAGE height :( until i moved to newyork city!!! I feel like i'm in the land of the GIANTS!!!!! and every step i take i feel closer to the ground... i love pb&j and/or hunnynut cheerios as much as i love a soulfully cooked meal. *****************************************i love SWEETSSSSS, tiramisu mmmmmmmmmmmm, banana pudding and/or MY DADDY'S BANANA BISCUITS mmmmmmmmm, sweet corn cake mmmmmmmm, corn bread mmmmmmmm, sauteed OKRA w/ shrimp&grits(okay that's not sweet but mmmmmmmm)!!!! oh and LIMONADA fresh squeezed, nothing pink or from a mix...give me any of these on any given day and i'll love you for life!! yes i will. **************I've recently become addicted to anything pineapple (juice/rings/chunks/crushed) and disco!! I can't get enough of either!! a bass player friend of mine told me i was having a love affair with music. couldn't've been better stated. it's the passion in which i live. I'm a poet during some point of most days, and am constantly singing and/or whistling whether out loud or internally. Started singing at an open mic at Brooklyn's Five Spot~Soul F'Real Wednesdays a coupla yrs ago. Some people think i have a nice voice too! and folx are lovin' my HunnyDo~Song! I prefer live music (afrobeat, latinjazz, disco, gospel) to most things (maybe even a some sugar from a fine brorha!), except for sleep. i love to sleep as much as i love to accomplish the big thangs, you know. i live with pure adrenaline and sleep with the same momentum. Pretty much nocturnal (ie bedtime @ 3am most days), because of my alternate bodyclock, but i've had to adjust since i have a big-gurl job now. I make it work *************************************************i'm in love with the idea of experiencing unconditional love, a hopeless, maybe hopeful romantic, and will probably make a good wife and mother if i decide to get married and produce a tribe at some point in the (distant) future!! My Daddy is a good man (my best friend), and he can't be the only one out there, so I remain hopeful. until mr.right comes along, i stay occupied with a life that's JAMPACKED&JELLITIGHT here in NYC. Trying to accomplish some great things this new year! ***************************Godwilling it will be a sweet year and i'll get more flowers (and sugar!)!!! Gerber daiseys (and HUMMINGBIRDS) make me smile :)
