I am here for Friends

About Me

I was born and raised in Chicago which is where I inhertited my values, I moved to Atlanta where I came into my own and learned to accept myself and then moved to LA which is now home because it's the place that I got to apply everything I learned and truly make a difference in my own life and it's where I developed a true sense of self and self worth. I am an extremely hard worker and when I finally get to play - I play even harder. I am like a Jamaican I work constantly and am versed in many fields. I am truly blessed to be fortunate enough to live the life I want to live. I love my jobs - all of them, I mean what's the point if you don't love what you do? I am a club promoter and Manager at the Factory Event Space, I am also the West Coast Wholesale - Sales Manager for DIESEL and I am a Production Manager for various organizations and events in the LA area. My work revolves around the people and causes that I love and I get to bring my friends to some amazing events and clubs and style them in the latest and greatest fashions. Gotta love that! Someday I will learn to stop and relax but for now I get to mix business with pleasure so it's not a bad deal. I am passionate about work, friends, working out, clothes and the current state of political affairs. My hobbies include playing softball every Sunday (if I am not working that is), shopping for new clothes even though I don't need anymore, reading if time permits and writing which does not happen as much as it should. Things I dislike are pretenscious people, fake people, Crystal Meth and dishonesty. I like to live my life to it's fullest and live it with integrity, honesty and optimism and surround myself with people who do the same. We only have (1) one life to live so you better make it good and do - what and who you love. A perfect day begins with me staying in bed until I am ready to wake up,grabbing a bite to eat at my favorite restaurant Doughboys, watch the sunset (soaking up the beauty of Mother Nature) and then taking in a movie. I love to make new friends and know a lot of people so if you are requesting to be my friend please do not take offense if I do not remember who you are, just drop me a line and reintroduce yourself and remind me where we know each other from. My favorite thing to do - Laugh - - - My Favorite Quote: "We can't become who we need to be by staying who we are." By - M Dupree
Peace out People! Hope to see you soon! Lots of Love, Laughter and Light

My Interests

Softball, Shopping, Working out, meeting new people, movies, dancing, giving back to the community in which I live by leading by example and volunteering my time and services to various organizations.

I'd like to meet:

Men are like apples on trees. The best ones are at the top of the tree. Most men don't want to reach for the good ones because they are afraid of falling and getting hurt. Instead, they sometimes take the apples from the ground that aren't as good, but easy. The apples at the top think something is wrong with them, when in reality, they're amazing. They just have to wait for the right man to come along, the one who is brave enough to climb all the way to the top of the tree.

Music:

Anything by Tool - Tool friggin Rules yo! Marilyn Manson, Perfect Circle, Static X, Live, Korn, Matchbox 20, Chris Daughtry Country - Garth, Faith Hill, Tim Mc Graw. Music soothes the soul and it depends on my mood but the first and foremost thing about it for me is that it has to have meaningful LYRICS!!! Otherwise it's just noise! My music is poetry for the ears, heart and soul! And yes Marilyn Manson can be that if you listen and read the words. So my tastes are extremely varied from Kelly Clarkson who rocks to Tool who rule!

Movies:

LOVE ACTUALLY all time favorite then Braveheart, Clerks, Chasing Amy, The Little Mermaid, Heart and Souls, Relax It's Just Sex, The Notebook and BAPS

Television:

America's Next Top Model, American Idol, Bill Maher, Penn and Teller's Bullshit, The 4400 and The Golden Girls because sometimes you just need to laugh

Books:

Many Lives Many Masters, Conversations with God, Rich Dad -Poor Dad, Seven People You Meet in Heaven, The Alchemist, The Four Agreements, Siddhartha. Prince of Tides, The Story of O and The Notebook

Heroes:

My mom - A true survivor in every sense of the word. Truly the strongest woman I have ever met and no I am not a mama's boy. She just has overcome so much in her life and is an inspiration to me daily. Love you Mom!
