First of all, I would like to thank all of the wonderful people who have taken the time to come on to My Space as my friend.
I am into all genres of music and its history and creation,technology relating to the creation of music,medicine,forensic pathology,history.
I am a voracious reader and I especially like to read about all things music,technology,medicine and biographies.
I also like nice, casual clothes that are color ordinated.
I am "the anti bling", meaning that I have no interest in flashy jewelry or tricked out cars.
Im not out to impress anyone for I am confident in who I am.
I have no need for phony and disingenuous people with hidden agendas as I can see right through the bullshit.
Been there..done that.
I am basically very low key.
My car of choice is the Aston - Martin Vanquish, for its performance and character.
I dont hang out in crowded,noisy places and only attend functions which are industry related.
I like vacations in tropical surroundings where peaceful waters flow.
Music
Music is my life.
I dont care for sports of any kind as I am totally immersed in the groove.
R&B, Soul,Hip Hop, Positive Rap,Gospel,Pop,Jazz,Reggae, contemporary country.
I love GREAT lyrics and memorable melodies.
Being an "old school soul in a new school world" I have the best of both worlds.
I have been a "studio rat" ever since the age of fifteen and that is my domain.
I love great believable acting and stories with substance.
I have much respect for REAL acting by REAL actors.
Comedies that are actually funny..not the new stupid and banal stuff.
