From the ranks of Pomona College with BA in Media Studies/Film, I've returned to school to earn a teaching credential at California State Polytechnic University, Pomona. I've been teaching/tutoring English and Math for about 7 years; it was about time. I believe 5 out of 4 students have trouble with fractions. I think I can fix that!
I'm a working man, and I'm noticing that there aren't enough days in the weekend. Among my many tasks, I am trying to co-direct and co-produce my own Latin music video television show "LAtino X" for the various local networks, I work on multimedia projects for this and other ventures, and I teach and tutor here and there locally; I keep quite busy. My brain starts working the moment I get up in the morning and doesn't stop until I get to work.
Whenever I run into walls, there's nothing me and my super human powers can't accomplish. Unless of course the walls are "super human"... er... "super wall-like." Something like that... I'm still currently working on other projects here and there, but I might ditch the freelance work and become a ridiculously wealthy Hollywood sell-out. Yah-right! I am stacking my chips as I should to pay off loans and to buy a house, so I should be living in my very own home in the county of L.A. soon enough.
I'm just living my life day by day, entertained at night by 12-year-old episodes of the Simpsons, Married with Children, and SNL. I just hope the power crisis doesn't effect my drive for evening television. One time the power went out in my house and I had to use the flash on my camera to see my way around. I made a sandwich and took fifty pictures of my face.
I use entirely way too much time in front of my computer working on tasks or surfing the web, but when I'm off the comp, I like to hang with my friends at the local Hip Hop venues or help them build community events of their own. I spend my free time clownin', spending a bit of money here and there. During my weekends, I work on web projects, script ideas, chill around town with friends, occasionally cruise to Vegas or Baja, or I stay in bed and sleep for a couple days.
Handle your business before your business handles you! ...but don't let your work, your studies, and your responsabilities keep you entirely from fun. Don't hesitate to drop me a line. Later.
Your buddy...
