Walk,Bike, Ride

This weekend my adventure in Philly took me into the northern liberties.  Due to rain my friend who accompanied me and I decided to take a cab.  The cab ride was an adventure in itself, we told the cab driver to drop us off at 2nd and Gerrard.  The cab driver proceeded to tell us his whole life story,  about how he had a rough morning from the night before and how at 7:30 we were his first ride of the night, then he got lost and we ended up getting a discounted cab ride when he finally got us to our destination.  When we got there we didn't exactly know where we wanted to go for dinner but the area was really cute so we decided to just walk until we found a good place.  We ended up walking into a restaurant called El Camino.  Its a Tex-Mex restaurant that had a really cute atmosphere.  Our waiter was great he had the most awesome mustache that I've ever seen.  We had dinner and talked for a while.  We eventually left and headed back home.  We took another cab home cause it was raining and we weren't quite sure where we could get the subway home from there.  It ended up an uneventful night but a good find for a cute inexpensive restaurant.  We will definitely be returning for dinner again.

Response to copyright ted talk

I thought this ted talk was really interesting.  It made me think about copyrights in a whole new way.  One thing it reminded me of is when rappers and other artists use whats called a "sample"  in their music. The first song that comes to mind for me is Kanye West's Gold digger he uses a sample of a Ray Charles song.  I think that copyrights should be ignored for the purpose of art, creativity, or school projects.  And musicians use other artists songs in their music all the time, I'm not sure if they pay for the sample but its still not plagiarism.

TED talk

I watched a TED talk about this woman who only brought 7 pairs of underwear to the whole conference.  She planned to find everything she would need to wear at thrift shops.  She never spends a lot of money on her clothes and she says that the money she spends almost always goes to a good cause.  And at the end of the conference she donated all the clothes back to the thrift store.  I thought this talk was interesting, I chose it because I like shopping at thrift stores too but this is an very different way of looking at shopping and expressing yourself through your clothing.

Something Interesting I found

 This artist is my cousin she inspired my interest in art school.  And i've always admired her and her work.
