“Reclusive Genius”
In the last year and a half since finishing high school I have become more of a man then a child, I think I have grown a lot in the last year and a half. Since Finishing high school I have started my own business, held a fashion show in which my cloths were shown, joined a movement based art collective, and increased my writing skill by what I think is at least ten-fold.
The business I started is no joke. We are a real and profitable business. The business was started this summer by Nick Jarmuzewski and my self. The name of the business is, “Lombardo Barnyard.” We have had it officially registered with the state and everything. We are the 7th chakra; we are dedicated to quality et cetera. Last summer we held a dance party, the party was sponsored by Pepsi. Also, the fashion show I held was in conjunction with my business. As of now “Lombardo Barnyard” is developing merchandise which will hit the market in the first quarter of 2005.
I have also held a fashion show since finishing high school. I held the “Reduce, Reuse, Recycle: Back to School Fashion Show,” earlier this year at Central Michigan University. Each segment of clothes I designed and created. They were based upon a different aspect of back to school life. The fashion show was a success; it was featured in CMlife, the local newspaper on campus. In the article I was called a reclusive genius.
The fashion show I put on help arouse the creative talent with in many CMU artists. These CMU artists, with their newly discovered love for art, formed a movement based art collective called, Fonikks. I am a member of Fonikks. So far at Fonikks we have done a project that I came up with. The project was a choreographed ninjitsu battle that happened in very specific points around campus. The battle was once again featured in CMlife. Fonikks is now working on a creative dance piece. The piece should be performed in two to three weeks.
I have also increased my writing skill by what seems like ten fold. Since leaving high school I have written a massive screenplay. I would have never though this possible when I was high school. In one of my classes this year I wrote a poem that changed the way my class is run. The poem was a critical look on the way the work-shopping process was run in class. I also recently wrote a 20 page story in 3 days. People think the story is incredible funny. I have written so many things since coming to college, some for school and some not. I have learned to love writing, and I hope to write many more things in the future.
As you can see I have done some astounding things in the last year and a half. I have started a business, I have held my own fashion show, I have joined a movement based art collective, and I would say that my creative writing skills have increased by ten fold. I have done many more things that have changed the live of everyone around me. I feel like it is my time to move on from CMU and move to a larger campus where my art can be more appreciated. I hope to start school as a junior as a Spartan, at Michigan State University.
