Ahh the museum, I remember that experience so fondly. I came in late, So by the time I got to the class room it was empty.. So I went to one of the computers to find out where this museum was.. Fast forward a few minutes and I’m walking somewhere between five and ten blocks to find the Museum. So half way there and I forget the address, that doesn’t stop me. I keep walking and luckily  I see another group from our school.. I jump on the back of their line and eventually reach the museum. I get in there, recieved my sticker and begin to search the whole museum for the rest of us.. After examining every floor I see that somehow I must have walked past them and not noticed so I stood around for awhile taking pictures of some of the pieces..Fast forward to everyone ariving and the short tour and we are done..I have to say the most interesting thing there second to the whole santuary thing was the old school piggy ba

Well full circle came around and we got (forced) to sit and watch voices for, and I have to agree with what the speaker said before hand. Voices four was all round a better group of monologues than the set for voices three.. Almost every pieces was really a deep dig into who somebody was or what made them who they are now. But somehow it just felt like voices three was a better experience.. I don’t know. Maybe I just don’t like deepness or intense stories and the such.. Well, maybe most others liked it and I guess that’s a shining star for us freshman.

I came in early so I made my way to the front-ish row. I watched a while as the people complained that the event would start until people moved into the middle row.. I don’t really get what would be stopping, maybe he didn’t want to have to walk so far over. So the event started and I have to say the speaker had some charisma and practice, even though a number of his attempts at comedy didn’t receive a welcome reaction his enthusiasm didn’t fall. Kudos. I have to say he did bring up a lot of good point about credit cards, and investing early. I mean the booklet that came with the event was pretty nice. It would of been nicer if all the info was already filled in and the size was a bit more compact. All in all I can’t really say much about the event. It was interesting and since I didn’t have anything else to do it kept my attention. I came out of there a slightly brighter person. All I need now is to actually get some real money..Blog rush is done.

So light the night, big ideas : Balloons and lights. So I have to say it was an interesting experience. First off after we past the train ride we got off and instantly go caught up in the wall street marcher.. Pissed me off, How dare they have a parade when something for charity was maybe two blocked over.. Selfishness.. Anyways the group started to spread thin and the crowd was lost and eventually we made it back to the back or very beginning. They seemed to be packing up so we got our defective balloons and glow sticks sucked.. By the time we left we couldn’t walk in the street we saw others get to proudly march. Sucked.. When we finally caught up to the main bunch that when the real waiting began.. Enough time past and we finally reached the bridge opening.. Altogether that would have to be 45 minutes. We walked the bridge, slowly but surely, took a hour to reach the halfway mark. Since I didn’t feel like walking back to Manhattan I walk into Brooklyn and hoped a train.. That took 15 minutes. So here I am looking back at the event and I have to say I enjoyed it, with all the crap it I would of hated it if I went on my own. But since it was a group activity it sort of made it a bit less sucky.

Well then since the first version of the blog went missing I’ll have make up a new one.So who am I, I’m a student in a school. I mean recently this takes up tons of my own time I rarely have the energy to do whatever after all the “school stuff” are done. But I guess that’s my fault, I never did destroy my procrastination when I had the chance. Two points so far. I’m a fountain of funny for my family, if it wasn’t for my birth I assume everyone would of had more stress and less smile marks. I don’t really care for today’s pop culture. I mean the catchy party songs have there moment but they don’t have a real home in me. I forget them but go for in time three years and I still remember Ja Rule and his amazing I don’t know what to call it voice or “What’s your fantasy” by Ludacris. Of course when it came out I didn’t understand the point of the song but that doesn’t make it any less catchy. I’m a guy against the direction of T.V. Although when I was younger my focus were the cartoons I can plainly see that every section of T.V. except the boring parts are degrading year by year. How dare nickelodeon turn of their shows and tell me to go out and play in the rain. Umm I tend to doze off and stare out of the windows and book and other stuff when my interest has been lost. I can say I used to be a die hard sports fan but as the years past it just died out.  I half the semester gone and I still can’t sell myself, I need to head to those interview workshops.

So by the start of school I got to sit and watch, while not really watching, a performance that had a few people reading off some monologues with style and a certain kind of swagger that made them remotely entertaining. And now we have come full circle and I have to make and perform my own piece, and the best part is there aren’t and real guidelines so I can’t be wrong. Easy A or whatever grade they give in this class.

So here I am, a relic of a age that has faded into obscurity. I don’t even feel like I belong here. I mean it’s like I’m the angry old man that sits on the porch and complains how the music and t.v. you youngins enjoy is crap or that back in my day the two train was red. Sure neither of those things matter but in this small time I been paying attention so much has changed and upgraded. If I was truly older I’m sure that it would suck not being able to really connect to a world that’s hell bent on  moving forward as fast as possible.

Remember the Y2k scare.. Just felt like mentioning it..I can’t find people that do… But they all know the 2012 thing..

So now I’m in Baruch and I have to say the best part is I don’t have to pick a major or any of that for awhile. So I get tons of time to drift and test the waters. Another point is everyone is so nice. It’s nothing like the life outside where maybe 50% of the people you meet or nice enough to say hi or not try and rob you. Oh and another good point about this school is it’s close to most types of food shops so there wont be any problems with lunch.

So now it’s back to me. For the future I guess I want enough money to live happy, a home, to learn how to cook, And a dog.. You know that dog that kinda looks like a wolf. I should of looked up the name for this piece but since I’m not getting one anytime soon I chose not to. Um family.. What’s there to say. Mom,dad,sister, sister, brother, brother,  and J.R. All I can say it’s a fun hassle to deal with. I wouldn’t say I’m personally close with any of them but I’m like a friend that happens to live there.

I want to make a closing not to tie things together but then I realized it’s a monologue, I can leave it on a cliffhanger.

Well after reading this article I can say I agree with many points that they have brought up, but if given the choice I wouldn’t be interested in doing for myself. I mean it’s easy to say what people could do and what they should do instead if your not looking at everyone’s life situation and how their life could be affected by joining a program. Personally, although I know could be incorrect, I feel that even though there are many unemployed and such I don’t that they are just sitting at home waiting for something to do. I feel that they are out there trying to do whatever it is to survive. Assuming that there arn’t any immediate rewards this doesn’t really help the american when they need it most. But on the other side its looking at a possible future and if this plans were to start  for a younger generation I think that would make more sense instead of laying it all down on everyone. If these plans went through they would probably throw their net out wide, there will always be a few stragglers that have the time and motivation to join their cause..The whole basic math calculation at the end gives a sense that the plan makes alot of sense compared to some of the other stuff  ”we” are funding and if were are solely thinking with common sense I say somebody should jump on this idea and run with it.
