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
