25 things People May or May not know about me...

I filled this out on my facebook page and thought it was interesting...I may add some more interesting facts in the future....So here it goes...Let me know what you think.


25. I was born with grey hair and in junior high everyone called me "Black Moses" because I had a black and white afro.

24. I always get weed jokes about my last name but what's really funny is that I was born at 4:20 am.....oddly enough my younger brother Steve was born at 4:20 pm

23. I absoluely have been in love with horror since I was a kid...I read "The Dark Half" and "It" by Stephen King in the 5th grade.

22. I've always had an odd fetish for Goth chicks and perky suburban women....they are totally hot!

21. I love folk music more than hip-hop.

20. I actually have a total of 12 brothers and sisters....2 from my mom with whom I was raised and 10 from my father....and I've met or have contacted all of them.

19. I'm a total film geek and my dream is to create a sitcom and eventually write a movie.

18. My first rap group was called "Unusual" which included Jon Reynolds and Jeremy Roussell...in the 9th grade.

17. At one point I had all my closest friends logged in my phone under their mother's names.....totally hilarious!

16. I tried being Athiest for a while....but literally couldn't...I understand why one would be but there's just too many things have happened in my life that would lead me to believe otherwise.

15. 1997 was the darkest year ever....for some reasons I can't get into but in a nutshell I got shot at (Barely missed a hail of bullets intended for a neighbor standing next to me), one of my favorite cousins died, I used to steal food to eat, etc, etc.

14. I have an issue with forvgiveness...I forgive..but NEVER forget...thus making it hard to truly forgive.

13. I feel enemies are an absolute necessity. I think they bring a sense of balance in life and one cannot exist without the other. I'm at peace when I know who I atleast have one person who I mutually dislike....Show me the most peaceful person you know and I'll show you who they can't stand.

12. Although we don't speak much and have had countless arguements over the years, I have and will ALWAYS love and be apart of The Firm (Eric, Jon, Vash and Spencer) and will do anything for them.....even if they may not feel the same.

11. The difficult birth of my son and the events following changed how I view everything in life....EVERYTHING!

10. Fun fact about my family: I'm 4 generations removed from Kenya.

9. Not so fun fact about my family: I'm 2nd cousins with Tyler Perry

8. I have the imagination of a child so I'm always thinking of something totally ridiculous, Goofy and childish at the most serious times. (business meetings, Funerals, Weddings, etc.)

7. I have an inner conscience that speaks to me when making important moral decisions...The "voice" always refers to me as "Young Brotha"...and that "voice" is the voice of James Earl Jones.

6. I truly believe I'm apart of the best circle of friends known to man....You know who you are..from the house parties...The lake on Easter...No one beats us...I don't know a better group of people....they gave me some of the best times of my life.

5. I asked my wife Brandi for her medical history within the first 3 weeks of dating just to check if she had a trait of sickle cell because I have a trait and if she had it I would have immediately stopped dating her.

4. My first experience with racism was with blacks (Light skinned/Dark skinned) improved my openness toward other races (hey if your own people hate you...what's the point?, Right) but I had a slight resentment for light skinned blacks until I met my friend C.J. in 1998.

3. Before 25 I had not made any life plans afterwards because until then I honestly thought I wouldn't live to see it....True but sad story.

2. One of my biggest pet peeves is when personal friends who I've known for years refer to me as "Cutta".

1. I LOVE New Orleans with all my heart and soul....I live it...I eat and sleep it!...but I'll never move back.
