All I Need In This Life of Sin

Story 1: In my perfect world, I'm sitting pretty in a mansion with acres of land surrounding me in a New England setting.  I'm an entrepreneur, I'm a music producer, stage designer, and a shoe designer, and I've got plenty of extra money to spend, money is no longer a concern.  I've got a wife that I met before the money who loves me for who I am and not what I have, and we have 4 kids, two boys two girls.  I'm able to put my parents in a nice house that they don't need to worry about paying for.  My family can depend on me for help should they need it.  I've designed stages for the biggest musical acts and have also contributed music to their sets.  People compare my beat skills to those of Pharrell and Timbaland, I'm a role model to young kids, and teach/give speeches at schools around the country.  I'm satisfied not because I have money, but because my worries are minimal.



Story 2: I've had a life changing experience, I'm on an expedition through the Amazon and get attacked by a poisonous snake.  I rush to the hospital thinking I'm going to die when the doctors tell me that I'm completely fine, and that somehow the venom in my system has been fought off by my blood.  I decide to return home to Boston after that traumatic experience.  I contemplate my life and where it's headed and realize the snake attack has shown me that life is a virtue.  I decide I need to stop being so reckless and take an easier life of relaxation.



Story 3: I'm now a bartender working at the most popular bars in New York, and am known as one of the best in the city.  My ability of flipping shot cups without spilling a drop of alcohol becomes something people continuously talk and ask about.  My techniques are studied by others trying to become bartenders and I meet a lot of great people including my wife at the bar.  I make a living on my bartending and support my children with it.  I still get the chance to be popular, just on a much smaller level.



Opportunities

Opportunities are a large presence in my life
Networking is my greatest quality
The world seems to be on my side
I'm meeting people I never would've imagined

Just this week I got RZA's email
Just this week I found out I might meet Kanye
Just this week I sent Travi$ Scott more music
Just this week I met a professor from Harvard

My bank account continues to increase
My t-shirt company is in early production
The world seems to be on my side
I'm doing things I never thought I would

Just this week I experimented with a new music style
Just this week I designed a new type of stage
Just this week I planned out a trip to travel during the summer
Just this week I wrote a letter to the DOJ

My family is the closest we've ever been
My friends are supporting me more than ever
The world seems to be on my side
Just this week.....

  1. Tyler,

    Good post. Interesting twist! Your plan A has been in production all semester. It's good to see your plan B. Bartending. Didn't see that coming. But as long as you're on the top of your game, you'll succeed at anything and everything.

    Good post. I'd like to see your paragraphs stretch out a little more. I'd like more detail. Write more to increase your grade.

    Great poem. I like the repetition again. Good details. I think RZA's email is bobdiggisnacks@wubang.com. Try it out :)

    Nice work. Let's try to step it up in the last 2 assignments, and see if you can reach that 100 you deserve.

    Put in a little more time. A little more detail. Let it flow. Have fun.
