the professional... what?

"are you a professional photographer?"

"no, i'm a professional...eccentric."

it was april 2009, 2 days after my birthday, and  i was just about to graduate from college 10 years after i'd graduated high school with an uncertain career in graphic design. i experienced what may have been the most surreal night of my life, but that's a whole other story. i was talking to this man outside of a club in LA called cinespace, it was well past midnight, and i had an environmental graphics final due that day at 1230 pm that i hadn't finished. when he asked me that question, i realized i had a lot of job experience, but not really any job skills, and i definitely wasn't a professional at anything maybe besides constantly thinking of crazy ideas and random shit... i put that title on my business card, just time for senior show the next month.

fast forward to july 2009, and that response i pulled out of my ass is now a blog. i'm also unemployed. i'm broke but i'm keeping myself busy by finally starting music projects, designing a logo for my friend's band, and winning free spiritual life consultations (no, really). i started a comedy troupe last year with a friend, but due to school we haven't been very active. we haven't written or performed any sketches lately, but instead we're expressing it through other, more musical, yet comical situations. we've entered the coffee toffee twisted frosty remix contest for Wendy's, entered the LMFAO "La La La" remix contest on loud.com, then somehow managed to see the live amusing debacle that is LMFAO for free at the House of Blues, and now we're entering a video contest for HARD Summer where we'll reprise our roles as xavier and gaspard from justice... oh, and did i mention our fake dj set at at our friend's backyard show?

in between periods of hibernation, i realized i was having the most stupid, ridiculous, but fun summer of my life!
