About   (request update)
Was born and raised mostly in Memphis,Tennessee.I found a love for music at an early age listening to everything from Earth,Wind,and Fire to Olivia Newton-John.As I got older I found myself storing information of obscure songs and pro athletes.I love music and sports,and that's what keeps me going.I love for music has turned into an obsession and now my obsession has turned into an addiction.My family was mainly made up of educators and positions of authority so I wasn't allowed to use slang.Everything I said had to be proper.Just imagine a 7 yr. old telling his teacher he has to "urinate" instead of I gotta go!Anyway I survived and I married of all people...an English teacher.
My Interview Question
What is the hardest of these to do Love,trust,respect,or forgive?
Current Whereabouts:
Working in Vicksburg,Mississippi in the casino business...help!
Life & Professional Aspirations:
I'd like to overtake radio stations and rebuild formats that the people want.I'm sick of the way media is today.It's like a Las Vegas hooker,just looking for it's next quick money maker.(I'm just speculating on that hooker thing) I'd like to create wealth for my family and others who have vision and a bit of a patient manner.Eventually I'd like to take the road Robert Johnson took.If not then I'll go to my second passion of sports in some kind of capacity.

Most Memorable Moment:
I gave a collection of speeches in my class,but one I was particulary proud of was an interpretation of Bill Cosby explaining why his son must wear a condom..Got the A! Ha!
I only regret that I didn't finish at LOC,but I've gained many a lesson from life in the process.I need to talk to my people about us..for us.I've got lots of passion and at my age I don't tolerat a l class of

Activities & Accomplishments:
Not much on activities,but I did compete in Arts competitions consisting of TV News Broadcasting.This was my field of expertise at the time and did very well when I competed.Now news is a farce to me.
Best Memories:
My favorite high school moment was when I gave my Study Hall teacher a washcloth and a bar of soap for Christmas with a card that said"Use me please" on the inside.He stunk like fertilizer and I was the only one who stepped up and took charge.(That really happended ya'll)
