My favorite spot in the world...
Jamaica. I love the glorious morning sunrises and the beautiful sunsets. Jamaica presents a magnificent kaleidoscope of color and beauty that has made the island, in my opinion, the most precious jewel in the Caribbean. I find the people humorous, warm and welcoming. Musical events are many and varied in Jamaica, from jazz and gospel to reggae and even oldies. The food is fresh and varied and a must is the national dish Ackee & Saltfish.
Qualities I admire most in a person...
Honesty & Integrity. Entrepreneurs - People who make something out of nothing.
If I were a cartoon character, I would be...
Daredevil. He is similar to Spider Man in that he lives in the same town, swings round skyscrapers and has amazing abilities. Matt Murdock aka Daredevil goes through trying times to keep his legal practice. Daredevil doesn't have the boyish wit and humor of Spiderman but is instead darker and more given to vengeance. The battles daredevil loses in the courtroom are finished at night in darkened warehouses and streets. In Daredevil, we have a hero who has a "disability" which is in truth, a super ability. That he can't "see" is his gift; because in sight's place he gained his radar-sense, but he's also capable of fighting in the dark, in smoke, fog, etc.
My favorite book, movie and artist are...
The Celestine Prophecy
Spartacus
DMX
