I Value: critical thinking, good beats, a DJ that can hold a beat while cutting and scratching, technology, this video blog - pouring down
Likes: YouTube, blogs, vlogs (video blogs), warm fuzzy knits, warm weather, documentaries, memoirs,
Hates: myspace (but I use it to connect w/friends anyway), abuses of power, the way the system works, inequality, -isms, most things on television, big budget waste of millions of dollars Hollywood movies
Addictions: I use to be addicted to Law & Order and CSI but now watch STUPID reality shows. My favorite is Rob & Big (but the finale stunk) (I <3 skaters!). I check this blog often - BitchPhD. I read this website every single day: allhiphop.com
