Getting back to LJ.

Aug 18, 2009 15:23

I've been posting a little bit on Facebook lately and need to get back here as well. Anyway for some new info on my new life, here's the deal.
I'm taking college classes again, a bit part for just job stuff, to look better in the job market to get a part time job. That's to gather up funds for various things for business building for example. Also some courses where I'd like to work ultimately.
I'm looking at double majors, one in Linguistics and Broadcast, minor in Theater and Business. I plan to take some film courses but the local community college doesn't offer it. Ultimately on the film side I'd like to shoot at least one if not two documentaries, and two feature films. After the film courses I want to just get better by experience. I'd like to intern with Justin Lin(he directed "Fearless" with Jet Li) in Hong Kong, get the experience of being able to do low budget and still have the product look good. I figure Hong Kong will give me that.
The course I'm taking right now is "Intro. To Broadcasting". Don't get me wrong, I have three courses. The other 2 courses start next month. One of these courses is an Excel Refresher and I'm thinking of taking a course on MS Office, to get some experience as well. Also I'm taking a not for credit class on Korean. I'd take a for credit of it but the community college doesn't offer it. I suppose next semester given enough enrollment for this one it might happen. This falls into Linguistics and acting. I want to know Korean so I can get to the point of speaking it fluently to do music or rather Hip-Hop overseas. Seeing more of the Korean Hip-Hop artists I like translated firsthand by me might give me more insight into different flow schemes whereby I might enrich myself in the process.
Hip-Hop in the U.S., at least on the mainstream, and maybe in the underground isn't really that abstract. I would argue you don't have layer after layer. Why not make it a tapestry as well though? Do it like some acclaimed movie directors. I would only argue you don't make it so deep to where people are lost trying to find it.
Anyway on another note, if this business thing ends up like I hope it will, that may cause me to need a MBA. I'm all about being diverse enough to make sure you're secure. Directing, acting, doing Hip-Hop and other genres of music, cooking, etc. All of this creates thread after thread to make one fairly snug. I also hope to bankroll all of these finances into eventually making enough money to create my own network. I might start it in Cable just for the lesser cost. I don't plan on staying there. Also the extra facilities I create, some may be just off center of the typical places, avoiding the flood plains in some, like in certain places in Texas. I apologize, I drag on too much.

I Wish You All To Be Well,
May You All Be Spared the Hardships of This Economy
