An introduction to Maurice

I have had quite a few interviews throughout the month of February and almost all of them begin with the question, "tell me about yourself". In a 30 second time frame I begin to spout out mindless facts and accomplishments that could have easily been read on my resume. Leaving me with less time and still no real grasp of who I am, in their case. "Who are you?" I was asked this thought provoking question yesterday by a very interesting girl, but instead of giving a pensive response,  I simply  answered with a simple "I am Maurice Foster". The question of who I am can not be answered in a few simplistic sentences. If we truly desire an answer to this question we must fervently examine ourselves. I have and will continue to devout an extended amount of time to introspection. Through this process, I hope to gain a greater since of who I am. However, I can tell you a few particulars that I feel are true and will remain unchanged throughout this process of self-exploration.  
I am an Introvert
I am a brother but not a son
I am a lover of God
I am a lover of art in all its forms
I am a fan of cartoons,anime, and children cereal (yep I'm that guy)
I am a proud fan of Edgar Allen Poe and will defend his genius at all times
I am a lover of horrible movies and black and white movies
These are just a few things that I believe represent me.This blog will be a chronicle of me and all my eccentricities
