Quiiiiiiiick Intro!

Well, this is my very first blog, so let me just start out by giving a quick introduction. My name is Derrick, but most people call me D-rock, and I'm just a blessed, laid back dude who loves to laugh and have a good time. I have a twin brother who is serving our country in the Army and I miss him dearly everyday. I also have a sister who also means the world to me as well. I'm blessed to have a great mom and dad who have both in my opinion done a great job in instilling a great foundation in me, and hopefully I make them proud! I have found someone in Katrina who makes me happier than I have ever been and I'm just blessed!! *shout out* Maria Naumoff, no talents.  Mannnnnn I love to eat! it's probably my downfall, but thank God I also love to run and work out. I love Chinese food, I bleed Chipotle (if possible), and I forgot to mention I was adopted my LeBron James and Diddy. Um, what else, I love to debate, I love to learn more about cultures, people, new things and just experience the most I can get out of every day...Overall, I'm just a regular guy tryin to make a difference!

Here's one of those 25 random things about me just so that you can get a quick glimpse into what I'm about!

1. Ken Njihia is credited with the beginnings of the monster commonly known as D-Rock, and I have no idea how he came up with the name
Photobucket <------that's Ken (he's from Kenya) 

2. When I was a kid, my mom would always buy eggo waffles, and my seester and I LOVED to put grape jelly on them... 

3. speaking of jelly, strawberry jelly and wheat bread, the best sandwich of all time (but only cut into triangles, once again...because of Moms) 

4. I strive and struggle every day to be the best man I can be...even though it probably isn't the best mindset, I base my life on the parable of the talents in the bible, meaning I am driven, almost obsessively, to multiply, triple the "talents" that God has blessed me with. 

5. When I was in high school my dad would chant "Gary Coleman! Gary Coleman!" with the other teams fans while I was shooting free throws because he thought it was funny..lol

6. I hate to admit it, but I have Napoleon complex (short man syndrome) haha

7. My twin brother and I are in fact, fraternal twins! the doctors (according to my parents) initially couldn't tell if I was a boy or a girl, and he's also my best friend for sure...

8. I could eat boneless spare ribs from Hung Lung every day until I died and I would be happy...

9. As you can tell, I'm obsessed with food, and I think I'm the greatest chef of all time (my dad who can only cook BLT's and french fries in the oven would disagree)

10. I have a man-crush on Cristiano Ronaldo, and I don't even care

11. I wish I was alive during the Civil Rights movement, even though I'm not sure how long I would've lasted lol

12. I think I am the funniest man alive, but I tell the worst jokes in all honesty

13. Peanut Butter is the most repulsive food imaginable, it makes me gag...one time I had a friend whose mom made me peanut butter cookies but I wouldn't accept them because they were disgusting...

14. Two of my biggest pet peeves are 1. people who can't spell and 2. people who are disconnected with reality

15. I am a compulsive shopper, and among with my humor, I also think I should have a feature story of myself in GQ

and now you agree...

16. My list of favorite movies of all time go like this...1. Love and Basketball 2. Shawshank Redemption 3. The Great Debaters 4. American History X 5. Requiem for a Dream

17. I honestly think that Wal-Mart puts small amounts of crack into their gummy bears, I ate a pound bag in like 2 days

18. I am convinced that I am going to have kids that are going to be future NFL superstars

19. I am credited to having the worst memory EVER! I forget probably on average 7 of the 10 things that I am told through the day, blame it on the concussions

20. Reality TV is my guilty pleasure....Flavor of love will go down as the greatest reality TV show of all time

21. When I was in elementary school, I used to have to take speech classes because I 1. couldn't pronouce my "R" sounds, and I stuttered (kinda like I do now lol)

22. If we're driving on a trip that takes longer than 30 minutes, I will be asleep at some point during that trip...

23. When God created the world, I think fall was the first season

24. My "lucky" number has always been 13

25. Taking naps is probably my favorite part of the day, and I am about to take one now!
