My First Post!!!!

Welcome everyone! This is new for Mike, to have a blog because he never thought that he would ever have one. This is going to be interesting because Mike is letting everyone step into his mind and see the crazy and wild ideas that come in and out of his mind. So a little about Mike. He's from New Brunswick, New Jersey and enjoys playing soccer, spending time with family and friends and also working out. He identifies with his nationality very strongly. His Mexican heritage means the world to Mike as his whole family immigrated to the United States to give him a better opportunity. Growing up, Mike was always the kid that had the most energy, according to his mom who also said he was the coolest. Mike enjoys being there for his friends as he knows what it feels like to be in a situation where everything is going wrong. He knows the importance of being alone and having time for oneself but also loves being surrounded by peers.
Mike loves music. Almost to the point where people will see him with his headphones in his ear more times than they will see him without them in. He is an avid concert goer and has seen the likes of Kendrick Lamar (pictured above), Logic, G Eazy, Chance the Rapper and Metro Boomin. He enjoys all genres of music except for that ear bleeding form of music known as country.
Mike is a fan of professional wrestling. "But isn't wrestling fake?" he can already hear you say. Yes it is fake but its more for the suspension of disbelief that grabs Mike's attention. Never before has Mike seen a company thrive of chair shots to the head, people jumping into the crowd in the name of entertainment or someone acting like a comply fool just to get a reaction from a crowd of 30,000 people. 
Mike enjoys the outdoors as much as the next person. However, he despises mosquitos with a burning passion. He enjoys walks in the forest or running a toe path that passes his old high school. He also loves taking pictures of wilderness and remember how beautiful our earth really is. 
Mike isn't afraid of being himself and sometimes, that means he gets weird. Here is a picture of one of Mike's favorite rap artist, Tyler the Creator. Everything in this picture just screams yes. The sunglasses that don't fit, the blue phone, the very nonchalant expression. It's just the perfect picture for someone who likes to be themselves and not care about what other's will think.
Mike isn't afraid to look back on his life and think about what went wrong and what could have changed. He also likes to look back on himself through the ages and laugh at some of the ridiculous phases that have come to pass.
Mike really does believe that he could be a model if he applied himself. However, he knows that cannot be true as he has too little free time to really do anything. Here is Mike at the Bronx Botanical Garden in the rain while a black and white filter thrown on top of it.
Pictured here is Mike in his natural habitat. Surrounded by people he loves and cares about. He worked at a summer camp and was able to meet a lot of great and genuine people that he will forever care for. 
Mike enjoys making people laugh. He sees laughter as a way to relieve tension but also to make everyone feel comfortable in a situation.

  1. Dear Mike,

    I like the voice here--you are funny, but also open, and you provide details of your life by giving us specifics. I'd like you to think more about how you identify as a person of Mexican descent, and how you balance that self with your American self. I think you can continue to use your sense of humor as the semester goes on--you already have a strong voice and a clear sense of self. I want to learn more about you as we move forward in this class--your voice and thoughts are important.
