I know a lot of u are tired of reading all of my posts since I do em so often (every 3months-lol) but here I am. Since last time I've gotten a much better handle on web site building though I still have much to learn. I finished the company site a few weeks ago and are just waiting for the go-ahead to publish it to the web. I've mostly been gearing up for the summer where we'll start to have regular classes with students. This is where I'll be getting all my footage and interviews from which to post on our site and future Kiosk network. The Kiosk network will consist of free access computer terminals listing a directory of community resources for ppl without computers or internet access at home). I really enjoy the whole planning and strategical process involved with these plans. How uber exciting!

Woah grant $

This past week has been utterly ridiculous & just unfathomable.-lol (wait let me spell check .……..ok I'm good). The premiere partnership inner city high school for The Media Aid Center just received a big grant from the desk of Arnold "the Governator". This is all allocated to their arts & film/media departments. The school in turn asked us to allocate the funds for them being that we're now heading those classes in their school. The scary part is that as u may know, government grants tend to expire, and so we received this news with 3 DAYS TO SPARE ! We had to crack open the catalogs and get to ordering pronto. All of this came just a few days after the school received another grant. How crazy is that!

My boss Martin Cheesborough or Mr. C. aka Cheesy as we call him , now call me & Ramon his 2 good luck charms.-lol My first month has been a blast. Hard work & triumph.

From LA> Boston

Well I arrived in Boston for the first time in life last night to a scary 15 degree climate. Cold to many, but from someone raised in LA an experienced 80 degrees on Christmas, this was just flippin ridiculous.-lol You know how your foot tingles when it falls asleep, yeah that's how my whole face felt. I missed my first plane @ 620am from LAX to Salt Lake city but was on my on the 8ish am flight with a lay-over in ATL. Goodness gracious why couldn't I have gone to the pso in Atlanta, would've cut the flight in half. Anywho, I'm havin a ball out here in Boston where the accent is apparent. So many green trees and fresh water is foreign to me. It's like a new concept when you're accustomed to a smog filled road-raged infested city. I have like 1 of the coolest supervisors ever (Martin Cheesebouroh) of The Media Aid Center. Basically we give inner-city High School kids the opportunity to learn and get inolved with the film and media industry. We teach various software & build sound stages & TV studios in schools. In 07 I'm plotting world domination! I'm still at the pso so I've gotta be brief. Who've thought I be so darn chatty with my very first Blog entry ever?? Not Mike, no sir. Gotta run. Ya'll stay tuned.
