ARTIST STATEMENT:
This song wasn't easy for me to do. It took at least 2 weeks with non stop thinking to make and flow it out right. I didn't want to rush because my music is delicate to me. For this song i wanted to make people feel what i'm saying. Everything said is 100 percent real and not just trying to sound hot cause it rhymes. I talk about Banach at times during the song because his idea of how everyone is lonely and we can't connect to people, influenced my idea of the thoughts presented with my lyrics. At first i didn't agree with Banach when he said we are alone. I thought he was just trying to sound smart because i didn't feel alone; Physically. Mentally i do because when i try to explain myself to people, the way my thoughts are said in my brain, is not how it comes out through my words. If anyone realized when it come to my feelings i dead ass can not talk. I just say im good, i Don't know how to explain it. Not because i don't feel like talking because i really do. I have all these emotions colliding within trying to be expressed and after this song i realized writing music is my mouth piece. Like i said at the end,, "They say music is to entertain, Music to me is like a diary where i write my entries, so once it's taken from me, im a useless soul in the world with thoughts that are pleading to flea." That's real talk. I feel that if people have a hard time talking, they express how they feel in ways they don't even know. Writing in a journal, drawing, playing ball, etc. So am i really alone Banach? Nah i got myself and i will always be there for me.

Personal Manifesto Reflection

I enjoyed this unit very much. At first when I heard we was reading a lecture, i thought this unit would be boring, complicated and useless to me at the end of the day but it turned out to be exciting, deep thinking and very adventurous for me. Banach had ideas that i did not and did agree with. I liked this idea because i usually agree with mostly the readings i read but for the first i time i actually took in his thoughts, analyzed it and agreed with part of it and put in my own thoughts. I really liked that. There was nothing that i did not like about this unit and i just hope we can do more like this, even better. The most thing i loved the most was being able to put our thoughts into our responses and not being so strict about putting it in there, We had a chance to be creative.

In ten years what i want to remember is that life is what we make it. I want to remember how everyone was so engaged and put their own believe in it. I just feel that this unit many people were involved, i didn't hear anyone complain about it which is something i will remember. The most interesting thing i did was write my own song dealing with Banachs ideas and my life together. I moslty talk about how im feeling. One of his ideas was how we are really alone. So i just thought about writing off that and turning it into something deep. That was real fun and emotion. I really loved this unit.

Banach Response 3

Yesterday i had got into an argument with my mom. She just kept going on and on and just wouldn't stop repeating the same old thing just with different words, you know how some parents can be. So basically there was a time where she kept TELLING me that i had an attitude. How the hell is someone going to tell me what i'm feeling. That get's me upset but anyway i really wanted to tell her she sounds stupid but i have respect for her, the reason i didn't say anything back. It is a free country and i was free to say what i wanted but i knew if i did there would of been some consequences. I didn't want my ass whipped. so when people talk about yeah we are free to do with we want. I'll just reply with "WE ARE FREE TO AN EXTENT."

After reading the last section of Banach's lecture, nothing was really new to me. I had thoughts about freedom and always asked questions. In Reality we are free to do anything we want but "Our actions, though free, are constrained by our society." we have rules in society causing many to obey, making them have the feeling they are not technically free. I wonder if we had no rules, how will our society really be.
