It's been a while since I've written in here. But I am poised on a revolution. A political, an artistic, a technological, and a personal one.

For a while now I've been watching YouTube. I believe that this is the next phase of media. It is what radio once was in the begining. It is free, it is powerful, and it is available to pretty much anyone who has a camera and internet access. I really think that somehow this is the direction that I want to go with my career. For once, I am really happy to be an MTA (Media Technology and the Arts) major. I know that this is going to help me get into the business. I want to create. I want to make movies. I want to make television. I want to create art and entertainment and tell stories with film. I want to have creative control over several different projects. I want it so badely that I cannot imagine my life in the future without it. I have to succede with this, otherwise I don't know what I will do with my life.

I don't think that I have ever stated this so bluntly before, even with myself. I don't think that I ever knew just how hungry I am for this.

But can I do it? There seem to be so many people out there who are so much better than me. What if all that I am capable of is mediocraity? I want to fight for this. To throw myself into it.

I need to do real work now. Senior project related work.

I hope to update this blog more often.
