25)I add pepper sauce to everything, including salad, eggs etc. I don't
know what my problem is but if its not hot I loose interest.
24) I use the terms "Creator" or "Universal Intelligence" instead of God, Jesus or Allah
23) I've been hit by 5 cars in this lifetime, all while standing on the
sidewalk. During a memorable post collision flight I felt an angel grab
hold of me while I coasted through the air. Instead of carrying me
upwards I was rested gently on the ground. I have no scars, bruises or
broken bones related to any of these incidents.
22) I nearly drowned twice
21) Reading Eckhart Tolle's "The Power of Now" and "A New Earth" changed my life forever. They're even better as audio books.
20) I wish my aunts, uncles and cousins from both sides of my family
lived here instead of Barbados & Tennessee. I've grown accustomed
to watching how a "clan" operates over the last few months and I think
life would be much more fulfilling with all of us in closer proximity.
That's probably why my friends are so important to me, that's also why
I take love so seriously.
19) I quit my job in a way that would prevent me from getting another
corporate job ever again in life. Last time I left a corporate job I
got a tatoo on the wrist of my shaking hand, this time it was an email
that spread on a global scale. I did this in order to force myself to
pursue my dreams. My logic isn't always rational, but its logic just
the same. So far so good, I'll keep you posted.

http://www.blog.joelx.com/..corporate-rapper-jerel-smi..th-quits/1033/18) Senior year of high school I cut off one of my locks, tied it in
the shape of a ring and proposed, she said yes. Next time, I'll keep
the hair and holler at Harry Winston.
17) I love to travel, that was one of the blessings I enjoyed while
working my corporate gig. I can't wait until I tour this summer!
16) I've been to 42 states in the US.
15) I am often confused about the steady flow of "I'm so proud of you"
& "I love your music" emails and texts messages. What confuses me
is that the overwhelming majority of these beautiful awesome people
have yet to purchase my album....and its only $5! (I'm laughing to
myself because I'm genuinely confused!) How do you turn an E for effort
into a P for Paying Customer?
If this is you, go purchase the album and stop being a buster ->

13) I've had relations in every school & office building that I've
worked or attended class in since '97. We've never been caught by a
boss or colleague...its always the got damn cleaning people!!! They
freeze, then about face. When you two lusty, impatiently crude
individuals gather your pride and possessions to walk past them on your
way out the office or laboratory, they always smile, nod and say
something in another language. Classic, every time.
12) I've been listening to Fall Out Boy's - Follie of a Deux, Pink's -
Fun House and Beyonce's - I Am/Sasha Fierce more than any other set of
albums for the last 2 months. The songwriting on these albums far
exceed the crapola I've been hearing elsewhere.
11) At the end of a lovemaking session a few years ago, I had to dip my
phallus in a cold glass of milk. If I tell you the whole story, you
will probably laugh yourself into a catatonic state, you will also
never make omelettes with crushed peppers at 3am in the morning after
getting home from the club, wash your hands in a hasty drunken stupor,
then proceed to do a festive rendition of the horizontal mombo. This is
not related to #1. Though it could be, but it's not, seriously...
10) I've been stopped at airport security checkpoints, malls, train
stations, doctor's offices etc and told that I look exactly like
Shaquille O'neal. Alright! I get it! It's over! OK!!! I look like Shaq,
go look at my pics, cuz I know you're itching to, and get it out of
your system once and for all.
9) I use sound effects when I talk. Somehow I've convinced myself that my vocabulary needs a soundtrack.
8) I started writing poetry in Mrs. Powell's class in the 9th grade, I
started growing locks in the 10th grade against my mother's will (who
had locks at the time), and I started raping in the 11th grade with
Richard Litchfield.
7) I've had a crush on Tina Turner ever since I was 7.
6) I've never done crack, heroin or oxycontin. This makes me cool.
5) A homeless man once spotted me a quarter for the bus. I guess he saw
me walking away from the bus stop looking upset after counting my
change. He flicked it at me all smooth like and said "thanks for always
dropping a little something in my cup." That day karma became palpable.
4) Every once in a while I scream at the top of my lungs for no reason
at all. It just feels right and relieves tension. Ok, so I guess there
is a reason.
3) I've been in love twice in this lifetime, which is the same amount
of times that I nearly drowned. In all four cases, someone had the need
to try and save me from submersion.
2) I've finally separated joy and happiness from money. This however,
does not mean you should avoid purchasing my album for fear of driving
me into a state of depression.
1) In addition to music I'm working on a Reality Web TV show, a comic
strip and a line of luxury ties. The idea is to get the franchise
situated before I blowupchuate.
And this concludes yet another installment of 25 random things about me. Farewell shoppers.
