...a monkey throwing fecal matter at a crowd of gawking tourists in the zoo? I don't get it? xD
Anyways, everyone is all emo and sad and stuff and that's just too darn depressing. So I thought I'll share how my life is going upwards and that reality is no longer screwing me like a dog in heat.
See, it all started last.....Spring, April-May-ish, when I decided what classes I wanted to have. So, due to my ability to take charge and responsibility of my young life, I made up all classes I failed and/or did not pass with high enough grades in the previous summers. Because I have ADD and get bored when nothing new happens at my home. And when the ADD kicks in and there's nothing to do I start to go insane in the membrane with the picture frame being put to shame and taking the blame for my internal pain on the pane of a WINDOW!
So's I's goes to's my counselor and he's all "You have more credits than need at your point in your high school career and, as such, have free reign over whatever classes you want next year since you'll be a senior. Choose." And I look and can't decide because I just wanted to get out at 10:00 and start at 8:00 but he was all "No, you need a minimum of 5 classes and that would be 3." So I end up choosing Teacher's Aid and Web Design, knowing what the consequences will be with choosing a starting 7:00 class.
So flash-foward to recent past. I'm getting excellent grades and managing to keep them for more than one grading period, I'm acing tests, not doing very much of anything, going on the computer and life is treating good with a heaping side of laziness. Especially since I get out a 12:20 but decide to stay at lunch and talk with my friends until 1:00. So I'm having trouble looking for a job and staying focus when one day my brother and I pick up a pizza and I notice a "HELP WANTED" sign in the window. So I inquire the person behind the counter and I more or less get the job on the spot. And that makes me happy because I now have an income and money is good.
And life still hasn't changed much from previous years where I did nothing as well, except now I'm happy, I get out earlier, and have an income. And those three things make a lot of difference in my mood because I'm happy and I make other people happy and then the world is happy. Until it get AIDS. No one likes AIDS. 'Cept maybe...Band-Aids.

So I start going to this college and I findo ut it is the worst heaping pile of s**t ever; you seriosuly do not want to go here, it's a tremendous waste of money. However, even with only one quarter under my belt I've already spent too much money here to move now(The credits won't transfer anywhere else, so I may as well get a degree).
Flash forward a bit, I'm in cinematography a bit, and a classmate tells me how he got a paying job through myspace because someone saw his music videos. So I'm like "******** my retarded qualms against how stupid myspace is.. -gets a myspace and uploads all my videos-".
Some time later I get a PM on myspace about goign to MetroCon: Amano's World.
Long story short, I went to MetroCon: Amano's World for free, had a press pass, had a private interview with the famous Amano himself, got it all on tape. surprised
Not only htis, but I also got an autographed Amano shirt and I won a scholarship to a summar class at Ringling School of Art and Design. Best part of that is materials are included, and they have a film class. What does this mean? POssible free camera. I haven't inquired ont he logistics yet since the class is in summer.
Flash forward a bit more, and I land a computer repair gig which basically consists of reformatting someone's computer. I got $100 for that, and he is teaching me how to drive(So I can get my liscenc - keep in mine I'm 19 years old, here).
Flash forward some more and I've won a $1k shopping spree to pickyourgifts.org (You have to spay S&H out of pocket though, so I haven't used it since they don't really have anything good there. But if you want something then PM me and I'll give you my coupon code so you can buy whatever)
Flash forward some more and I'm showing my Lighting on Location prof my AMVs and he says I have some talent and I should PA for him on a music video set, edit the class video, and make a demo of this vista thing that's a tourist video.
I still have had no luck in finding a steady job, and I am quite literally starving to death really slowly... But I'm having fun doing it, and I guess that's all that matters.
