    well... to start of, I am a very good dancer. i make moves with women on the
    dancefllor that makes others people eyes pops out of their eyeballs.... I can
    find the beat and rythm to any music from salsa, soul r &b house, nu-jazz,
    broken beats via whatever a dj plays to me on the dancefloor. when it comes to
    music, my mother fed me with stevie wonder, the temptations and so fort when i
    had my home in her stomach... i play music and it ranges from oldskewl soul to
    housemusic via nu-jazz.... i sing, but it's mostly in the shower, maybe it has
    to do with the acoustics.... my story: i have a phd in biophysics and I am a
    computernerd, some might call me an outsider but I have shagged more women than
    you can ever imagine and I make 100 000 us dollars a year.... so I am laughing
    all the way to the bank...

    peaceout
