My Begining

Thursday, March 29, 2007

I fly out to New York today for an interview with the CEO of PGM Artists. Nervous? A little. Excited? Very. Noah and I are going to try to get tickets to see Conan, so yey!

My life is currently the most stressful, hectic, busy and frantic that it has ever been. But I don't feel like my life is falling down around me. Rather I feel like it is taking flight, or perhaps preparing for take off. I am getting a huge running start, and that cliff of May 13th is coming faster and faster. Pretty soon the earth will fall out from under my feet. But I'm not just leaping and flapping my arms desperatly. I've spent hours, days, weeks, months sleepless toiling away to build myself some wings. It will take a lot of hard work, dedication, creativity, courage, faith and a bit of luck, but I will take flight.

*on a different note: Today I recieved an annoymous CD in my mailbox. It is an album for a celtic rock band - Shillelagh Law. It is awesome, and it has completly made my day! *

Oh wow, oh wow, oh wow....

Okay, so I applied to this competition a few weeks back. The competition is for the opportunity to get an all expense paid trip out to LA to spend the day job shadowing the creators of JibJab. Now, most of you who read this know me, so you probably know that this is right up my ally. I am very interested in getting a job creating viral video and original content for the internet. Well, the competition goes like this: Out of hundreds of applicants, 5 finalists will be chosen. Those finalists then will be given blogs. They will be given three weeks to blog, with a minimum of 2 updates a week and 2 imbeded videos required. After 3 weeks, the blogger who gets the most traffic will then win the trip to LA.

So take a wild guess what my big news is? That's right! I'm a finalist!!!!!!!!

I will defiantly post more information as I get it. The blogs haven't even been set up yet. But as soon as I get it up and running, I will let you guys know. You guys who read this blog are mostly my closest friends. I really need your help if I want to win the trip to LA. Please check the back regularly for updates and help me with ideas for what will make it a really interesting and funny blog. Even if I don't win, I want to use this opportunity to create some really good content and maybe get my name out there. This could potentially be huge for me.

So, I will let you guys know just as soon as I have more information. I'm so excited!!!
