I would like to be famous someday. As long as it’s not for something stupid. I would like to be famous so I could hopefully use it to my advantage. When you are famous you get a lot of good perks so to speak. The main reason I would want to be famous in a positive way is to get a lot of money. Money is what brings longevity to one that is smart in the choices he makes. Not to forget but I would held out a lot of people who are less fortunate than I am.

There are many sports and activities that I enjoy doing. One of these activities is playing sports as well as watching them. Another activity that I enjoy a lot is cooking. When I am cooking I get time to reflect on the world and the things that is going on. Also I get to relax. For some reason to me cooking calms me down. It could seem like I have the biggest problem, but once I start cooking then everything is fine. Many times at my house we have parties and I cook for family and friends. All enjoy it and they say that it is very good. Some people say that I should have gone to culinary school because it tastes so good. Mainly I cook though is because I like to see people having a good time and enjoying themselves.

When it comes to body art I have a few tattoos and piercings. The number of piercings that I have is two. I have one in my right ear, and also I have one in my left. Then I have a couple of tattoos on my body. I have one of a genie coming out of a bottle with a gun in his hand smoking a joint. Another one that I have is my initials on my stomach. Other than that I don’t have any other markings although not to say I don’t want any more its that I want them done right. I want my childrens names on my back. Also I would like to get my sleeves done I just want to get some meaningful things. When it comes tattoos I see it as art. Art is such a beautiful thing espically when its done well.

My cultural background is very odd due to the fact I have a few different racial bloodlines in my veins. From what I know and seen I have a lot of African in me from my ancestors. Later during slavery time we were brought to America where we were known as African Americans. Another part of my heritage comes form Native American or Indians as they say. One of my great-grandmothers was ¾ chiakata Indian. Her husband my great-grandfather was ½ Blackfoot Indian. On the other side of my family which is my mothers also have some different cultural backgrounds in them also. Her grandpa which was my great-grandfather was a man from the islands. Although I never met him just seen photographs was mixed with two different races. One side of his family was from Haiti. To be exact it may have been Port a Prince’ I believe which is the capitol. The other part comes from the Virgin Islands. Although I’ve never been there I’ve been told that it is a very beautiful place. So this my ethnic background on both sides. Although it may seem like a lot I think or consider myself black. Yes black, a black man.
