the creator

I get a rush when I make something. The most common thing I make are rhymes, and since I make them so often I'm usually feeling pretty good about myself. Unfortunately I am cursed with bad memory and never get the chance to write my rhymes down before I completely forget them. My main influence is Hip Hop and my main influence from Hip Hop is Eminem, "the lyricist without a clue, what year is this?"

I like his style of rhyming, but not his content, so what I do is put in my own philosophy and try to rhyme like he does. One of my favorite one liners, which I will use in a rap if I ever write one is (and you better not jack me foos!):

"And that's just the half of it, the rest hasn't happened yet."

This is the only rhymes I have saved since I began freestyling in my head.
I don't know how I will use it, but c'mon, you gotta admit, that's fcking sick right?

My favorite endeavor is not even a rap song, however (damn that rhymed too i'm on a roll). It is this skit my classmates and I had to do for my Speech class during my senior year at High School.

We agreed to make a sort of monologue competition where each person would present a famous monologue in either a Southern, French, or English accent. My friend Tisha and I were hosts, also with accents, and the other 4 would be competitors.

The reason I love this skit so much is because of how I directed each performer's movements. I just felt that it went so well with their little speech. The best part was of course the audience reaction-I believe they loved it. The guy who filmed this awesome skit was chuckling and giggling and even laughing out loud during the entire thing (everybody could hear it in the replay). And I remember people laughing specifically at the motions the performers were doing just as I hoped they would.

I felt good that day. Directing definitely makes a guy feel significant.
