tl;dr: it's a bunch of stuff about me...that's about it :)
Ten Things You Want To Say To Ten Different People:
1. "Why you whispering, man? Speak up! You've got a lot of good things to say."
2. "No, I will not submit to what you think a black man should be, which is a disgusting stereotype."
3. "I wish you would lighten up a little bit. Life's too short to be worrying about the stuff that you worry about."
4. "Egotistical prick...that's all you are."
5. "You have no idea just how beautiful you are...seriously."
6. "Why can't you sit down and decide what you want to do, rather than doing a zillion things at once, trying to find out?"
7. "I wish I got to know you a little better. I guess we can catch up this year."
8. "I don't care what you say, raw chocolate chip cookie dough is delicious."
9. "I'm just as Canadian as you, but there is NO way the CFL is better than the NFL!"
10. "Don't worry about me...I'll be fine. I'm glad that you love me enough to worry, though."
Nine Things About Yourself:
1. I hate coffee and tea, so I drink hot chocolate in the morning instead.
2. I have genetic asthma...some people have seasonal asthma, which disappears in the seasons where it's not triggered, or athletic asthma, and some people grow out of it. I'm stuck with mine for life.
3. I still sleep with my baby blanket every night. It's been reduced to a rag over time, but it's still my baby blanket.
4. I have an overbearing fear of disappointing people...so I have a really hard time saying no to things.
5. If there's one thing that pisses me off more than disrespect toward women, it's the social "thumbs up" given to the word 'nigger'. Most people who use it, I find, don't even know the true meaning of the word. It has not lost it's stinging edge, and I feel hurt whenever I hear it...almost like the person who uses it is disregarding my culture, my history. Oh, and 'nigga' is NOT an appropriate substitute. There, my little rant is over.
6. I absolutely LOVE guinea pigs.
7. Family is one of the most important aspects of my life. I cherish my family every single day.
8. I can't read music to save my life...I play everything by ear.
9. I have zero tolerance for new country...I apologize to those who like it, but I can't stand it :P
Eight Ways To Win My Heart:
1. Respect yourself.
2. Love me for who I am.
3. Enjoy a good laugh.
4. Be able to hold a conversation. Giggling and squeeing are fine (and sexy in their own right), but I like to be able to have a deep, engaging conversation with a woman.
5. Know how to make fun of yourself.
6. Enjoy a little romance...I'm not sappy all the time, but romance isn't all that bad.
7. Be confident about yourself.
8. Take an interest in my heritage. I love talking about black history.
Seven things that cross your mind a lot:
1. "Am I doing this right?"
2. "I'm probably not doing this right."
3. "Why am I worrying about this?"
4. "Just go up to her and ask her out! Why are you so hung up on this?"
5. "I really need to get my driver's license."
6. "*random funk/soul/gospel song lyrics*"
7. "Well, what to do today?"
Six Things You Wish You Never Did:
1. Help carry my dad out of church, because his leg gave out on him (I don't wish that I didn't help him...I wish it never happened)
2. Witness my mom suffer a monstrous lupus attack a few years ago.
3. Kept quiet about my feelings about girl after girl after girl (this is gonna change this year)
4. Work at KFC...it was a horrible job, seriously.
5. Put my hand through a window.
6. Try to jump a bike ramp...I wasn't going nearly fast enough, and almost broke my wrist.
Five Turn Offs:
1. Overt superficiality and materialism
2. Disrespect (for self/others)
3. Irresponsibility
4. People who are overly pessimistic/cynical
5. Sense of entitlement-without-doing-anything-to-earn-it
Four Turn Ons:
1. Freckles (I don't know why)
2. Girls who don't wear makeup all the time. I like to see the real you.
3. A nice pair of legs (I'm a leg man XD)
4. Confidence/free spirit (like singing and dancing like you think no one's watching)
Three Smileys That Describe Your Life:
1. :D

Two Things You Want To Do Before You Die:
1. Visit Africa
2. I would love to start up homeless shelters that actually engage with homeless people, help them get back on their feet after they leave the shelter, and follow up on them, and get them the help that they need, rather than just giving them a place to sleep at night.
One Confession:
I think that Coke and Pepsi taste the same...there, I said it.

Amen!
...and for the record, I don't wear makeup at all I sometimes wear it if we're going out someplace ritzy, but it's just for fun
Mhmm, I see it that if you don't wear makeup all the time, you let your true, natural beauty show through. I mean, I have nothing against make up...it looks nice. But I know a few girls who wear makeup to bed for no reason :S It's ridiculous.
Makeup to bed?
Yeah, makeup to bed. . . . .doesn't make any sense does it? O_o
