About Me
- DaYo
- In this pic, I'm in suspended animation. I'm a guy who loves to talk to people who have something to say. I always have an opinion, however sometimes I decline to express it, to protect the innocent. I love listening to people's perspectives because it allows me to get a deeper understanding of people and where they come from. I kinda feel like that is my lifelong focus, to figure out where people come from

I'm Glad I do what I do....because life could be worse
Yesterday I was talkin to my lil brother about jobs and stuff. He was saying how cool it would have been had I played in the NBA, but I was thinkin, Hell nawww....It's soo much cooler that im a teacher because the kids I teach know who I am. I was tellin him life would suck if i was an athlete because everybody would expect me to be what they see on TV, as opposed to being who I really am. I went on to explain, life would be horrible to be an actor, because when people see you they don't want to talk to you, they want to talk to one of the characters that they saw on the screen. I mean if i were to meet Will Smith, I would talk to him like he was Will on fresh prince or the dude in I Robot..one of my favorite movies...even though that shit happened like 3 or 4 years ago, thats the image i have of him in my head...Livin like that has to be F-ing horrible. People approaching you asking about some shit a fictional character did. That has to be the worst feeling in the world, knowing that everybody recognizes, but nobody wants to know you...just the characters you act out. I kno im not the only person in the world who looks at celebrities like that...let me kno what yall think...but to me F that....gimmie reality everyday, my students tell me when they are pissed at me and I let them kno when they are gettin me pissed...now thats reality

I feel the exact same way about Hill Harper. If I ever meet him, I'm going to think of his role in Loving Jezebel which may/may not be his personality at all. However since the movie was so good, I immediately think of that character reference to define him.
Since sixty percent of NBA players go broke, I believe you took a more affirmative route.
