Peer Pressure

Seven Things I Plan to Do Before I Die:

1. own/run a business. a real big one, ideally; with employees, payroll, corporate clients, lawyers, VPs, leasing agreements and shT.
2. get that terminal degree out of the way
3. slow down, get married, and live that 'normal' life
4. laugh at whoever wrote #3
   
5. take a few months off and travel the world, starting in africa and ending up who-knows-where
6. pull a brown sugar and put my money behind my mouth in support of real music with an ownership stake in a label or entertainment company
7. join a couple of other boards of directors and make a significnt impact in both the urban communities of Boston and Charleston for the betterment of 1) my peoples and 2) the region at-large
   

Seven Things I CAN to Do:

1. listen - i've been told my ears are big and being quiet has been known to keep me out of trouble at times
   
2. think - i ain't ya average nerd, but don't get it twisted, B. simple shT gets boring.
   
3. smile - why not
   
4. analyze - this shT ain't rocket science, son
   
5. lead - i think i've been fairly good at it thus far. just gotta get these damn stars to align correctly and we'll get it poppin'.
   
6. be calm and humble - i try my best to shelter the ego and be modest and mellow. if you think i've failed, call me out on it. cuz i don't like that arrogant shT. i might curse you out, but i will also appreciate it greatly.
   
7. say ditto to 75% of she-who-shall-not-be-named's answers to this post (i got a good kick out of that one...ok it maybe closer to 40-50%)

Seven Things That Attract Me to the Opposite Sex:

1. brains - mind sense, wit
   
2. comedy - sense of humor, bonus points if she tells good jokes and/or anecdotes
   
3. logic - common sense, and some street sense too
   
4. hip-hop & black people acumen - a must
   
5. sex appeal - sass, flava, cute walk, fashion sense, T&A ratio, sexy phone voice, hip movements
   
6. wordplay - i can't expain it until you hear her use it. they gotta flow out her mouth the right way regardless of the subject matter
7. star alignment - sometimes things are just unexplainable as though you may have met her in a previous life. trust me, it does happen. when it does, the sparks are very flammable.
