Intro

Allow me to introduce myself. I am a shaggy haired fellow who has way too many creative outlets. I enjoy all sorts of writing, filming/editing videos, graphic design, playing/recording music and eating large quantities of chicken wings. While all this is going on I am also a full time student in the advertising program. I should have graduated by now but my tendency to always do too much at once has held me back in my school life. I came back because I know my creative lifestyle could be handy in the industry. I also have no regrets about failing out and coming back. I have learned so much just going at my own pace and have met so many wonderful friends who I can't even imagine not being in my life. I often feel like the faculty doesn't take me seriously because of my track record but they really have no idea what I do behind the walls of the school.

People say everything happens for a reason and whether life really works like that or not, it sure feels like that this week. It seem like all this random creative stuff I do is really coming together. Yesterday I had an interview for an internship at a recording studio/ record label for the position of a graphic designer. After showing the guy my portfolio which consists of everything from graphics, writing and video he decided to hire me. What is really awesome though is that he didn't just hire me as a graphic designer, he told me that he is giving me the creative freedom to do whatever (as long as I continue to promote the artists on the label). I am hoping to put together some awesome video promos and ideas are already flowing in my head even though I haven't even started yet.

Also tonight is the year end awards for my favorite podcast, The Metal Injection Livecast from Brooklyn New York. It is on a metal (my favorite genre) music website but the show itself is more comedy than anything. I am also nominated in 2 categories. Super fan of the Year and Funniest Phone call of the Year. After my call last spring they played the audio for one of my comedy videos and continued to play it throughout the year on different episodes.






Another thing tomorrow afternoon my good friend Shawn and myself are walking into the Comedy Network to try to pitch a show we secretly have been writing. But I am going to save that story for another day.

I actually didn't intend on writing so much today, but the final thing I would like to say is that this blog isn't alway going to be about me me me me ME ME ME ME ... stuff like that. I am going to dedicate a lot of posts to things going on in the creative world and inspirational minds.

Thats all for now internet!

Dont eat yellow snow,


Sean
