Rapping. I love slam poetry and have been into hip hop for years but I just don't know where to begin with making music. I don't have a rhythmic bone in my body in terms of making beats, and I haven't found anyone to work with.

Writing. Ever since I was a kid I have been writing stories and plays. I finally completed my degree in English with an emphasis in creative writing last year and it was such a fulfilling experience in my life. I finally finished my first novella last year, it needs severe editing and expansion before I would even attempt publication, but knowing I can complete an extended work is an extremely gratifying feeling. I know it is hard to get a job with this degree, but I am just trying to subscribe to the Alan Watts school of thought, in that following your passions will lead to a more fulfilling existence.
