About Me

As you know my name is Maurice. I was born and raised in "South" Los Angeles aka South Central bka "Tha Hood". I feel blessed to have made it as far as I have in my life. So many people I grew up with are either dead or in jail. All I do is go to school, work and take care of my baby girl Mariah (Yes you heard it right, I'm active in my daughter's life unlike so many others). I have very little tolerance for ignorant people. Don't get me wrong we are all ignorant in our own ways, but I'm talking about those of us who don't even try to play it off. College isn't for everybody but at least pick up a book or two and self-educate yourself. I also have no tolerance for flaky "friends". Either you're rolling with me or you're not, simple as that...(you know who you are). I believe in the concept that birds of a feather flock together so I don't have time for negative people who don't have at least a plan lined up to improve themselves. Well thats pretty much me in a nutshell. I'll revise this one of these days or years, but I figured it was about time to add something to my page.

My Interests

Making money, taking care of my daughter , becoming a better man and father

I'd like to meet:

I wish I had a time machine so I can meet certain influential leaders from the past. I would have loved to meet good and bad people such as Jesus, Hitler, Malcolm, Martin, Ceasar, etc. Maybe I'll see them on the other side...

Music:

Over the years I've learned to love all music, but some of my favorite artists are: Jilly from Philly (I love that woman!), Musiq, Justin, Maxwell, Erykah, India etc... Hip hop is dying, but I still love Andre 3 Stacks (the greatest rapper hands down even when he doesn't want to rap!), Common, Krayzie Bone and a few others. I'm really getting into Electronica now too!

Movies:

I'm not a big movie person. I primarily watch documentaries or nature shows whenever I do sit and watch something

Television:

If I ever watch T.V. its usully something like the news, the food network, or the discovery channel and of course Married with Children. Ooops I can't forget about my Lakers, Clippers and Bucs! T.V. is primarily a peripheral for my Playstation 2, Wii or XBOX 360

Books:

Whatever book my daughter wants me to read before bedtime. I haven't just sat down and read a real book since I graduated.

Heroes:

People who take the road less traveled
