Age: Currently, 29 born January of '75
Sign: Aquarius; does this shed further insight into me or something?? Lol! I've never really understood the whole deal surrounding this one.
Hometown: St. Thomas, United States Virgin Islands
High School: Oakland Technical (for one year), Ivanna Eudora Kean High School (St. Thomas) for the rest…go Devil Rays!!
Siblings: 1, lil broham Nathaniel…that's my boy!
Physical Characteristics: um, hmm…bipedal mammal, of homo sapien…haha…look in the Photo Gallery for me. Here's a hint: Tony=me=I
Why create the Treehouse: Hmm…a) seemed fun b) wanted a place for my family and friends (old and new!) to come together c) I secretly hope to further clutter the net with more homepages!! Woohaa!! d) provide a forum where to sharpen my web development skills
Accidents or broken bones: tibia, fibula, dislocated shoulder, head injury (explains the issues I have now lol), and more bruises, cuts (some shallow and others deep), other stuff that's healed that I can't remember. We had FUN as kids!
Passions: My family, friends, cooking, photography, martial arts, dancing, music, intellectual, physically and mentally challenging things
Pet peeves: indecisiveness, culturally insensitive people, bad breath, bad table manners, and basic lack of respect for others…if that lack of respect extends to their parents and/or children…it's that much worse. Like they say: Mean people suck!
Things that bring a smile to my face: Just about anything to do with my little brother, most things associated with St. Thomas, watching my people, especially my friends have a good time, there are others…but I suspect since kids may read this page, so I'll leave it at this! Haha!
Favorite Authors: Sun Tsu, Edgar Allen Poe, Emerson, Martin Luther King Jr. (he was one helluvan orator!), Robert L. Heinlein, Ben Bova, Richard Marcinko, Descartes, Plato, Antoni Scalia, Frederick Douglas Favorite subjects: Anything military (domestic or foreign), history, science, law, philosophy, science fiction, space, cars, cooking, martial arts (any style/school), and people!
Favorite Musicians: Bob Marley, DMX, Metallica, Dave Mathews, JayZ, Counting Crows, Sisqo, TLC, Eric Claptop, Sara McGlouklon (sp.!! Big time! Lol), just about every classical composer, UB40, David Danborne, Kenny G, Joe Sample, Four Play, most folks from the 80s
Favorite types of music: Does that list before give you an idea? Haha! My mood dictates what I listen to pretty much…jazz, gospel, hip hop, reggae, trance, rock, metal, new age, dance/pop, latin…this could go on for some time…haha
Favorite foods: Caribbean foods!! Woohaa!! Also Mexican (REAL Mexican food), Thai, Japanese, Indian, Italian…bbq too!! Also down for trying new stuff always…
Favorite beverage: Don't laugh - lemonade! I'll go to a 4 star restaurant and order that stuff! Alcohol is no longer on my list.
What was it like growing up in the Virgin Islands: You could probably think of it as akin to growing up in a small town. You run into your neighbors 4 or 5 times a week when you're out, the neighbors know when you've screwed up as a kid, things like reputations are that much more important, etc. The list can go on, but it was really cool. I grew up on a block with the same people for ages. I've known my best friend Nils for almost 20 years, and most of the people on the block for almost as long. It's a GREAT place to be raised! The weather, food, and tight beaches help too!!
