For my monologue , Iwanted to speak about a question, when have i ever felt empowered? For me thats easy, the one thing that ever made me empowered would probably be video games because im a fanatic. It strengthens me be because im basically a useless kid when it comes to sports and i considerably fail at too much . I ending up trying  but it ends sourly. My own experiences told me that its best to stick with hobbies that you are better at than most people,namely video games. My own testimonies showed me 178 ways to beat the hell out of your cousins without lifting a sweat. Its funny i can cream them at NBA 2k12 when i cant even play basketball myself and there the ones on the highschool basketball team. Not only that i can wipe the floor of with my friend in my most favorite game ‘Marvel vs Capcom 3’ , i call this game a tiny piece of hell, cuz its crazy. 11 to 3  was the score i got from beating him and i have doing that ever since. Even though i rarely get to play, meaning that my mom is extremely paranoid thinking i’ll be braindead when im 20, she locked it in a cupboard far far away which actually means she sent to India. So im stuck like rock not know what makes me move, the one thing that ever made me empowered is stuck in hell. Oh mother oh mother(its more like shakespeare line) “ARE YOU CRAZZY!! YOU SENT MY BEAUTIFUL CONSOLE TO LIVE WITH PYGMIES(because Indians are petit). Her reply was killer, she said YESSSSSSSS!!!!!!! with a indian accent with basically did sound like a snake. Still i knew there is hope because every year we always go to back to the motherland and that’s usually the time when i get my groove on and i  call this period The Royal Spanking Era for reasons you probably know.  But maybe one should wonder , Why wait? and Why can’t you find something else? . The thing is ‘Video gaming’ inspires me to do the impossible- scaling of walls, killing people in midair or coming back to life, for some reason it makes me a better person because i usually felt dead in the real world and constant death and rebirth in games makes it seem that i have become immortal. And this why video games inspires me mostly and hence empowers my aspect of life.What i think i looked like when i was a kidWhat i think i look like
