For Starters; The Cliff Notes of Me and Current Goings On :-)

So first, I used to LiveJournal, Myspace, Facebook, Pownce, Hi5, etc etc.  I still do some, but I've grown tired of updating 2500000 zillion profiles. I wanted one centralized place to let it out, talk, link everyone else, and screw multiplatforming!

In the big windy city called Chicago, Illinois, chillin in the Merchandise Mart at the radio station where I intern, for video ironically; I make promo videos that recap the promotional events thrown by the two conjoined (though explicitly separate publicly) stations.  Right now I'm waiting for a file to come over the server so I can start editing my latest project. 

The Cliff's Notes of me up to now:

Born and raised and Anchorage, Alaska, thats right ALASKA! With Moose and Bears and all that fun stuff.  Lived there 19.5 years of my life, and after a year of college up there (to save money) I transferred to DePaul University to major in "Digital Cinema", a fun new film degree that in its' 6 years of existence has grown into the largest undergraduate film program in the nation.  Anyways, I am engaged, living with my fiance, and 21 years old, also I am in a Fraternity on campus.  This really freaks people out (the engagement, not the fraternity) considering my age, but I'm happy, know I'm perfectly matched and happy to be committed to the woman I love (also 21) for the rest of my life, and planning on a 2009 Summer wedding post-college-graduation. 

That's me in a nutshell, and all I'm doing. What I'm thinking is a far different yet more interesting story (at least I think).

What I'm thinking is that, while I am lucky with my awesome internship, my awesome school, and happily engaged, I'd prefer to have an awesome job, working my ass off to get to the top, an awesome wife, and a couple little mini-awesome me's and she's running around with the pitter patter of little dudes and dudettes scrambling around a house.  Apartment living is ok, but living in a house versus an apartment is like having a slice of pie instead of the whole fucking pie.  Your own parking spot, your own four walls with no one up against them, and that wonderful sense of home we search our entire lives for (yes I'm paraphrasing Garden State, get over it).

My education is going swimmingly, though I sometimes get overwhelmed and think of taking all my college $ and running off to Australia to be a beach bum for the rest of my life, do menial jobs, live off of nothing, and chill.  But I know I want something bigger; I actually want to earn something, like a degree, like a promotion. I've never been able to do that in my entire life, just job to job, class to class, no recognition, no achievement, nothing. I've won awards sure, been in contests from hockey to debate, but nothing as satisfying as persisting, doing a great job, and achieving a goal that changes your life..... Now THAT will be a great feeling. 

Now that I'm done swimming in my own high hopes.. my file is in. Time to get to work.
