JOE FUCKIN PURDY

About Me

BEFORE THE BICEPS, THERE WAS COURAGE...BEFORE THE PECS, THERE WAS BRAVERY...AND BEFORE THE TREE TRUNK LEGS, HE HAD INTEGRITY. MATT LEAF WAS BORN A MAN....LITERALLY. AT 4 MONTHS OLD HE STOOD 6 FOOT 5, WHERE HE WOULD STAY FOR THE REMAINDER OF HIS LIFE. AT 3 YEARS OLD HE STARTED A NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATION, 'BUILT BY BICEPS', WHICH RESTORED RUN DOWN HOUSES IN THE PROJECTS THAT RAISED HIM. HE WON HIS FIRST NOBEL PRIZE AWARD THE FOLLOWING YEAR, A DAY AFTER HIS FOURTH BIRTHDAY. BY THE AGE OF SIX, MATT LEAF WAS UNSTOPPABLE...UNTIL HIS LAS VEGAS BIRTHDAY BASH. IT WAS HERE THAT LEAF ENCOUNTERED HIS FIRST AND ONLY WEAKNESS, WOMEN. BY THE TIME HE WAS NINE, MATT LEAF HAD RAN THROUGH MORE WALLS THAN CASPER THE GHOST. BUT EVEN THE WOMEN COULDN'T SLOW DOWN LEAF. ON HIS BROTHER PAUL'S 12TH BIRTHDAY HE STARTED UP A NEW NPO, THIS TIME DEDICATING IT TO PAULS ETHNIC BACKGROUND. BY 1999 'SIGNIFICANT SAUDI'S' HAD TAKEN OFF AND WAS THE NUMBER ONE PROJECT IN THE WORLD DEDICATED TO THE OUTSTANDING STUDENTS OF SAUDI ARABIA. BUT LEAF DIDN'T STOP THERE. A YEAR LATER, ON HIS OWN 12TH BIRTHDAY HE GRADUATED FROM STANFORD LAW, CREATING THE PATH HIS OLDER, ARABIC BROTHER WOULD ONE DAY WALK DOWN HIMSELF. FOLLOWING GRADUATION LEAF FOUND HIMSELF TURNING DOWN AN OFFER FROM THE L.A. BASED LAW FIRM "KIRKLAND AND ELLIS" (A TOP 10 NATIONALLY RANKED LAW FIRM). MATT WASN'T INTERESTED IN THE LARGE SUM OF MONEY BEING OFFERED, INSTEAD HE CHOSE TO GIVE BACK TO THE STREETS THAT RAISED HIM. WITHIN MONTHS OF LIVING IN EAST LOS ANGELES MATT FOUND HIMSELF THE LEADER OF THE NOTORIOUS "ES LA CHICANOS LA RAZA" GANG IN ADDITION TO THE "BARRIO ES EL LA BARCOS" WHICH TRANSLATES TO "NEIGHBORHOOD OF THE BOATS" ANOTHER L.A. BASED STREET GANG KNOWN FOR KILLING. BUT LEAF WASN'T IN IT FOR THE VIOLENCE, IN FACT HE USED THE EXPERIENCE AND KNOWLEDGE HE GAINED AS A TODDLER TO BRING THESE TWO FORMER RIVALS TOGETHER INTO HIS THIRD NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATION, CLEVERLY NAMED "ES LA CHICANOS Y BARCOS EN LA BARRIO OF THE RAZA". THE MAIN FOCUS OF "ES LA CHICANONS Y BARCOS EN LA BARRIO OF THE RAZA" WAS TO GIVE BACK TO THE BLACK COMMUNITY. HAHHAHHAHAHA, I'LL CONTINUE LATER...
