This blog will hopefully be a more insightful look into where I’ve been, where I am, and where I’m headed. I’ll include stories, my general philosophy on things, music videos I’ve been watching, and more. And hopefully I will improve my writing skills as I go.

First, some news. I’ve decided to stop working on the film festival where I’ve been volunteering for the past five or six years. I’ve lost count. Working on a cause really affects several aspects of your life, especially if you’re doing it with very little resources. For example, the last time I had a chill, relaxing vacation was 3 years ago when I went on a cruise with my sisters. I don’t remember the last time I had a chance to vacuum my room. And my health hasn’t been great in recent years. I remember last year when I went to San Diego for a film festival and ran into a producer that I meet the previous week at our festival. He didn’t recognize me and when I told him who I was, he still looked puzzled, staring at me and commenting that I looked different. I usually get sick during the festival since I don’t really get to eat regularly, sleep well, or generally rest leading up to it. I told him that I got a just got a haircut. All in all, my experiences were different than I expected when I started but I met some great people, attended several great film festivals around the country, and I hope to use what I’ve learned in future ventures.

And on to a music video. Bands fronted by cute girls with strong voices kick ass. Case in point…
