So I started a blog..

Hey!


I decided to start a blog because I wanted to talk about random topics and share cool things that I read/find/experience etc. 


So recently I went to the Associated Collegiate Press journalism conference in Hollywood and had a blast! There were tons of workshops with people associated with the Los Angeles Times, People Magazine, and other online media and publication groups. Director Robert Redford was also there one of the nights for a press conference with the students pertaining to his newest film "The Conspirator".


It wasn't all fun and games though. We had to attend a few less then interesting key note speeches. There was one in particular that was mind numbingly unexciting. It was at that moment my mind began to create some excitement of its own as it overflowed with random shapes of all sorts. 


The shapes began pouring out onto the free spiral notepad we were given (which was meant for intellectual note-taking). Thus a masterpiece of randomness was born.


And for the record I did take actual notes... they're just not as interesting to look at.

        Misc. stuff that was in my head during the keynote speech .... ya


All in all it was a great experience where I met journalism students from all over the US and learned how to network and work with people in the film and TV Industry along with tons of other info. I met some cool people from Utah and realized I was born to join a rodeo team and eventually compete professionally.
