My favorite workshop in FRO would have to be the Ruben Museum of Art. I can’t exactly speak for everyone in our class but at least I enjoyed seeing all the different statues and paintings. I actually learned a lot about the Himalayan culture by going to the museum and reading about the works on display.

My Monologue

I hate bills. You see, I have a bad habit of acting on impulse when I buy things. Probably my biggest example of this would somehow managing to take out a $17000 loan on my car. Basically I put myself in debt for the next 6 years but oh well. It’s become a love of mine to work on my car myself and pour more and more money into it. People tell me constantly that I’m stupid for giving myself that kind of responsibility but they have no idea, I love my car.

I realize a lot of you reading this don’t drive because your either from the city or have no use for a car. Me, being from Long Island, it’s my only way around. I gave myself a huge responsibility because I fell in love with a car on the lot and bought it on the spot. I’ve thought about selling it once I realized, damn, that’s a shitload of money. I’m sticking with it though, she’s starting to grow on me.

It’s fun for me to work on my car and buy new parts for it. It’s a labor of love,really. If I screw up while working on it…well..I could die(technically speaking). So, it’s important to get it right. Every little thing. I have friends and friends of friends that help me if I get stuck considering knowing how to take apart an engine isn’t something everyone knows.

I don’t think it’s weird that I love my car, it’s something that’s actually mine. Countless cuts and bruises can testify to the fact I know my car inside and out for the most part. It’s not easy, but the rewards and worth it.

My Playlist

First of all, it’d be impossible for me to get my list of songs I listen to down to 10 so I guess I’ll just pick 10. There’s no way you can tell it but I’m into rap and dubstep. My favorite artist hands down has to be Kid Cudi, but I wouldn’t put him into the rap category becuase his musics all his own. The list is mostly going to be Cudi tracks because his music just puts me in the chillest mood I can’t describe. I saw him in concert last year in Brookyln and it had to be one of the best things i’ve done to date. As for me being into dubstep, there’s just something about how they manage to make random sounds and basslines into a perfect harmony. I’m a huge fan of anything with a lot of bass basically, it doesn’t matter what genre of music I just think it adds so much more to the music and listening experience. Anyway, if I had to pick 10 songs to be in my playlist, here they are (sorry, they have to be links because my spotify was bugging out when I was doing this):
