First off, the first picture is of me with my mum and her husband. I love her with all my heart since she’s be all I’ve needed her to be. She’s taught me to think rationally, and to learn from any mistakes I’ve made. I think that without her, I would’ve been a completely different person.

I love watching videos on my laptop. From animes, to TV shows, to movies. But mostly animes. My favorite anime ever would most probably be Angel Beats, due to the amazing character development, and the moving ending. I love drawing as a past time, and although I may not be good at it, I love seeing the outcomes on paper. The two drawings were done by me.

The music I’ve linked are just a couple of songs that I would most probably be listening to on a daily basis. I would listen to mostly any music.

As for myself, I love reading. If we were still in the paper era of our lives, I would probably be nose deep in a book. I generally keep to myself, but I welcome conversation and love meeting new people.

For my future goals, I am torn between physics, and becoming a veterinarian. I am great with math, and I absolutely love dogs.

FRESH

These songs motivate me when it’s time to get work done. I keep my schedule busy between working full-time, going to school full-time, and being a full time father to a 3 year old girl. Normally I do not sleep as much as I would like but these songs, give me motivation, ambition, and when I turn them up LOUD I stay awake on the train. Hope you enjoy.

These songs speak to who I am because I grew up on the Beatles and used to spend a month every year in England.

Before I get started I would first like to introduce you to a great man.

My name is Carter Amon,

I come from a hard working family, my mother and father are both in their mid 60’s and they both take care of my two older brothers and their families plus my grandmother while still holding regular jobs. My father is an old school marine from the Viet Nam war, the word “quit” are only associated with the last warning words I got before I caught a whipping.  My mother is an old fashioned spiritual southern lady who would give me the world if she had the means too. I firmly believe she is the warmest person on earth.  My mother and father raised me under the standard southern principles of respect your elders and lady’s(girls), don’t talk back, don’t question. When you’re in church sit down and shut up, but outside of church its anything goes till you get caught. The last principle was kind of my own guideline for every rule.  My Dad was super Dad, he could tell that I did something wrong within a millisecond of committing the crime. He wouldn’t even have to be in the same zip code, he just knew.  The worst part was sometimes he’d let me think I got away with it.  Then after I got past initial questioning he’d let me go play then sneak up, snatch me up and whip me in front of my friends. Then just let me go play again afterwards, comical to me now.  I did have the best parents anyone could ask for.

I have had my share of adventures for a kid from a small town in Texas.  When I joined the  Marine Corps after high school my whole life changed.  The world in which I lived had grown exponentially in the span of a few months.  I’ve been to China, Germany, Morocco, Canada, LA, San Diego, Las Vegas, Vermont, Florida, Virginia, and finally NYC.  When I first came to NYC I trained reservists in communications equipment, and was also a range staff coach for the rifle range.  New York City out of all the places I have been is the weirdest place yet.  People live on top of each other, no one has a front or back yard, bums are everywhere, the whole place is dirty, and EVERYone is rude.  After living in NYC for a few years I’ve come to see that this place is weird, but its not that bad. And the people aren’t rude they are just “passionate”.

I am out going, outdoorsy, light hearted, easy going, adventuress, and an adrenaline junky. I’ve been places, met famous people, changed peoples lives, saved peoples lives,  made tons of friends across the globe, and look forward to making more here at Baruch.

My name is Josh and these ten songs all represent a piece of me in their own specific way.  I am very musically diverse which means at any given moment you might catch me listening to anything from rap to classic rock or house to jazz.  Some of the songs that I have listed above are slow and relaxing, while some are upbeat and make me want to party.  I have many sides to me and generally all my qualities help me get along with others.  Just as I listen to many different kinds of music I interact with many different kinds of people.  For a year I studied abroad and picked up many things from my traveling and studying in Israel; including the types of music that I listen to.  Sometimes I enjoy just taking it easy and listening to some Creedence, and sometime when I’m going out with some friends or just in the mood for some fast paced music to get me pumped up for my day at Baruch I’ll listen to something along the lines of Sweet Disposition by Temper Trap.  This music shows my ability and love for adapting to new environments along with satisfying every musical urge in me, along with getting along with people and making new friends.

The first two photographs speak for themselves. The second is of a little boy I volunteered with a few summers ago. Volunteering is a big part of my life, something I started doing in in High School and still continue to do. Then there’s the beach where I grew up, snowboarding which I love, and Heston Blumenthal- my favorite chef. Finally, my love for hiking and the outdoors and one of the coolest women I happened to stumble upon on an adventure in the middle of the dessert… Like me, she was just loving and enjoying life.
