My first blog entry 071904

So, this is the first entry. I guess I should tell a little about myself. I'm a single, 30 year old, African-American male; I was born and raised in Alexandria, Va and I currently work for a company that conducts research on fragrances and flavors in Washington, DC. I'm a huge movie fan; my netflix rental queue is nearly 500 deep. Everyone must see "Spidey 2"!!! Great film! I'm looking forward to "the Bourne Supremacy" and "Catwoman"...on DVD...on mute...w/the lights down low...candles...wine...Barry White. ..I love Tivo! Unfortunately, I watch way too much TV, TiVo doesn't help any. Favorite shows: "the Simpsons", "Arrested Development", "Six Feet Under", "Everybody Loves Raymond", "Family Business" and "King of the Hill". Radio: "Fresh Air w/Terry Gross", "The Kodjo Namdi Show" and "This American Life w/Ira Glass". I'm an active Toastmaster (an orator) who also enjoys reading, writing short stories, surfing the web, playing video games and socializing w/my friends.

Thanks for visiting.

I'm usually the other guy; deep in slumber, sawing logs (like all snorers, I've never had the distinguished privilege of hearing the sweet, melodic sounds of my nocturnal singing performances) I've got a my drapes closed @ all times, birdsongs are overrated (it's like they're phoning it on or something; a total lack of originality!), the alarm clock goes off. I placed it across the room on purpose; that way I'll have to get out of bed. I throw a shoe @ it. This morning was different. I rolled over and felt the sun caress my face like a lover I lost ages ago, heard the beautiful chirp chirp chirp-ing of a mother bird and her young, jumped out of bed, stretched and f
