THE WORLD OF MICHAEL T. MORRIS, II - I am a student at Morehouse School of Medicine in Atlanta, GA. I gaduated from Vanderbilt University with a B.S. in Chemistry and Psychology, May 1996. I was born in Philadelphia, PA but I have lived in Atlanta, GA for most of my life. I am really into music. I listen to Jazz, R&B, Hip Hop, Gospel, and Classical. Also I played drums and percussion throughout high school and college. I still keep my skills up on the drum set, but I have played a little of everything (drum set, marching band, symphonic percussion, etc.). As far as instruments go, I love the piano, sax, and bass guitar. In my music section there will also be clips of music that I am currently listening to. I plan to change these frequently, so be sure to stop by every now and then.

THE CONCIOUS RASTA - Latex condoms have become covert weapons in the war against fertility; on the sexual organs of "ruffnecks" they are damaging a young girl's most sensitive body organ. Condoms have never been effective at eliminating true infectious venereal diseases or genuine systemic infectious agents; they don't proscribe condoms for the flu season or measles -- it is a birth control device and simply that. An increasing number of surgeons are complaining that they can no longer work with latex gloves on due to a large number of allergic reactions, they are switching to polyurethane gloves. Latex condoms are lubricated with Nonoxyl 9 which contains the deadly poisonous hydrocarbon-based (petroleum) chemical nonyl phenol; this chemical interrupts the body's endocrine system, potentially leading to cancers of the breast, ovaries and cervix, as well as fibroid tumors and endometriosis -- leading to hysterectomy. Nonyl phenol is a smooth textured binder used in cosmetics, paint, dishwashing liquid, spermicides and other products; it mimics the action of the female hormone estrogen which undermines a man's androgen hormones leading to femininization.

Nearly all brands of condoms contain the dry lubricant magnesium silicate (talcum powder) which is the
equivalent of minute particles of sand or glass; talc has been shown to migrate up into a woman's
fallopian tubes where it can cause an inflammation thereby causing the formation of a granuloma
(cancer) and sterility; users should switch to condoms which use cornstarch instead of talcum powder.

The best condom to use for birth control is made of polyurethane, it's the one that the Japanese
manufacture for their own public to use; Japan has experienced a frighteningly low birthrate which the
country is now attempting to reverse.

DAUGHTERS OF EVE - Women in general have been denied opportunities because of their gender. African American women or women of African descent must struggle against racism as well as sexism. This makes life's race more difficult to run for a "sistah." While the hurdles may have been ten feet high at times, many women have succeeded past the obstacles in their life. Their struggles and sacrifice make it possible for a "sistah" to be a CEO, a best-selling novelist, record-breaking athlete, a spirit-filled evangelist, or just a single mother fighting the odds.

AU MAGAZINE - Au Magazine aims to "Amplify the Voice of Urban Business," by publishing an internet product that reports on the entire urban business industry, focusing not only on industry leaders, but their lesser known emerging counterparts as well.

I take a music history class at Paine College. I teach piano at the Wycliffe A. Gordon School of Music (owned, of course by Wycliffe Gordon of the Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra). I receive so much joy from my students.

control of the country from their oppressors. Benefiting from intelligence enhancing drugs, technological 
innovations, an extremely powerful media, and a seperatist caste system arguably worse than slavery, Blacks 
seem to have found the perfect utopian existance...but who is in control? Using experimental non-linear narrative 
and varying points of view, Dominion becomes multi-faceted and complex, driven by suspense and violence, 
deception, and a struggle for understanding and control.MISS SEXY RED - So, you want to know more about the beautiful young lady featured above, correct? 
Well, for starters, I'm a second year English major at Florida State University...The next question you're 
probably asking is--DOES THIS GIRL WANT TO BE A TEACHER?--Now really, don't I look like I 
have better things to do with my time then ask folks kids to sit down and be quiet? What I really want to 
be is a writer. Sooner or later, I'll have some of my short stories on here for y'all to check--but please

 - By Aaron McGruder. / Aaron McGruder (me) is a currently a world reknown "playa hata" since he dissed Sean Puffy Combs two months consecutively in The Source magazine. He (kinda) graduated from the University of Maryland with a degree in Afro-American studies with a concentration in Social and Cultural Analysis, and has no intention of ever returning to school for a graduate degre of any sort (that is, of course, unless this whole cartoon thing doesn't work out). When not cartooning he (I) can be found stressing and waiting impatiently by the phone for his lawyer to call (hi Stephen). He has no BMW, no Benz, not a single article of clothing from Versace or FUBU, and no life as a result. Occasionally he can be heard co-hosting the Soul Controller Mix Show on 88.1 WMUC College Park, Maryland. Aaron (me) has an unhealthy and expensive affinity for Star Wars merchandise and Japanese Animation, and he's a Gemini. What's worse, he fell in with the wrong crowd in college and currently suffers from an addiction to dry "LIFE" cereal. Basically,
he's got problems, but most of the time he's a pretty nice guy.
