Last year at work I guess it's nothing new to most of you but this is a first for me. Our company put a cap on our salaries. That really hurt. 39 yrs old and stuck at 16.51 an hr. I will 40 in a couple of months and of course I didn't want to stay in this job forever. Last October I was finally free from bankruptcy. Has to be the longest 10 years of my life. DO NOT I repeat DO NOT ever file for bankruptcy. No matter what happens in your life don't do it.
Months go by and I get passed up for the lead operator at work. This was the last straw for me. I put up with a lot of crap at work and let a lot slide by. I took a look at myself and said "Dude, you're 40 years old, diabetes is killing you, you are not married and have no kids. Let's do it. We have nothing to lose. If we failed, hey at least we gave it a try. We put it off this long. Let's go"
Well I made the call to Full Sail a school in Florida and to setup my tour.
January 13th was the day I took my first steps to entertainment domination as I walked the halls of Full Sail and looked at all the equipment and people I will be working with. It was an awesome experience. I can't wait to work with the 16mm, 32mm and we even get to work with the new High Def cameras. Friggin sweet.
If you know me by now you know my mind is rolling at full throttle. I set in motion a few things already. Like last year I registered my film production company with its own web page which is still under construction. need to renew it again this May (makes mental note)
I've met some great people over at myspace. A lot of models and some musicians that aren't mainstream yet. I asked a couple of them if they would help me out when I first start out. They said "of course".
Now comes fubar. I just been at this website for a few weeks and made some excellent friends. A few know my intentions. I asked one of great friends of mine if she knew anybody who can draw logos. Me, I can't draw worth jack even if my life depended on it. She said she could draw some pictures for me. So over IM we threw out a few ideas. Funny she had the same idea as I did when I gave her the name of my company.
Can't wait to see those pictures. I want to get my company trademarked soon.
Anyways my last day of work is March 1, 2008 and the first day of school is April 28, 2008. I will be getting my Masters in 34 months from that date.
