Sharing A Thought, Feeding Your Brain

For the past few weeks I’ve been teaching myself how to edit video. Nothing to special, Just little stuff for Youtube. I’ve kind of started my own “show” similar to sxephil. It’s been a lot of fun so far but also a lot of work. It was trickier than I thought it would be since in school I was always able to just wing things and still get a good grade. Well at lest I would of gotten a good grade but the fact that I never had any work to show for it always lost me points. Same thing is true here. Before starting a “show” I think of a few things to talk about and then just go for it!.. But I found that didn’t work well since I would just ramble which makes editing a pain.. I’ve slowly been getting into the habit of writing down key points to hit while filming and it has helped a good amount so far. Guess what I’m saying is I’ve been out of school for almost 4 years now and my dumb ass is finally figuring out what my teachers were tell me.. O’well it is what is and that is!.. CoDyizCoDy

That is the name If decide to run with for all my new Youtube ventures. It makes sense to me since as a kid I would always like to ask people “If you could describe me in one word what would it be?” There answer 9 times out of 10 was simply “Cody”. I’ve always found myself to be somewhat different, I always enjoyed to stand out. But that I thought was just the world of a kid. After getting several good doses of “the real world” I found out it was better to just play it safe and conform. Work was a safe place and it brought me the money I needed to keep a roof over my head. I slowly began to slip into adulthood by keeping to what I “knew best”. I had found my comfort zone. This wasn’t really a problem, It really helped me make good choices during a time in life where I could have really made some dumb moves.

There were a lot of ups and downs as there always will be but for right now, at this moment I’m riding a high. I’m exploring again, leaving my confront zone, taking risks.. Living a little. I’m still stuck at the same dead-end job but I’m making an effort to get out of it. It’s a bit of a long shot but I feel that I can do it. I know I won’t blow-up over night which is ok because I’m in it for the long haul. Honestly all of it has been making me feel like a kid again. Ether that or it’s all the cartoons I’m watching. Or maybe the weekend trips to Skateland, reading comics, legos, poems, books, music or something?! Haha clearly I haven’t grown up, I’m just a kid paying bills!

Just wanted to take some time out to write all this down. I want to remember this time right here for the low days to eventually come in life. Got to keep that reminder that things were good and they will get better. This are better when you’re able to keep that in mind. I’m out. Peace.

Not much more than an hour ago I got my 1st tattoo! I’ve been wanting to get a tattoo for years now and today I finally went through with it. I feel very good about this. Not a bad way to start off this new year. I mean if I’m getting a tattoo in the 1st week of it who knows what else I’ll be up to this year!

The tattoo I got is of a bear paw print to represent the bond between me and 4 of the best friends I have in my life right now. David, Nick, Niko, and Derek. Dave join me today in getting his paw print as well! I got mine in the middle of my left arm and Dave got his on his right calf. Nick and Niko came to hangout and record the event. All went well and I’m happy to say it wasn’t half as bad as I thought it would be! Infact it was kind of “nice”? A bit of pain but not to bad over all.

Today is one that will be remembered. I’m really happy I went through  with in. It was a good bonding moment. Bear Sloth for life lol.

I’ll post pics later. Plus a video on my youtube channel later in the week.

Here’s to hoping that you watched my video on Intern Sushi. So now that you’re here please take a few minus to check out my Tumblr page. A little ways down (3 weeks ago) I posted a funny blooper from an video resume I had made for you. You’ll enjoy :) But whatever on with business.

As I sit here staring into this computer screen thinking of what to say to make you like me I realize that there isn’t.. reallllyyyy much I can saaaay.. yep. Here’s me in a fairly large nut shell. I did graduate from high school. I did try college out yet failed. Half because school really just isn’t for me and the other half because of laziness. I could sit back and blame my mistakes in life on lose of family and stuff in the past but looking back on things I know this just isn’t true. I have lost a lot in life but truly I have gained so much more since then. I tend to take things for granted and misuse things I have while I have it. Time being thee most misused thing I own. In February I will be turning 22 and I feel I’m slacking compared to a few people I know from high school thanks to the power of Facebook. But more so I am not where I envisioned myself to be. Granted most people do not ended up living out there high school dreams but at lest most try. Me.. Not so much. I don’t think my years since school have been a complete wast but if we made a graph comparing the pros and cons.. Cons win.. With that said.

My time is now. No better time than the present right? I promise you Phil I will be the best intern I can be for you. Whatever you or anyone at Defranco Creative needs I’ll get it. Work me like Diddy and send me by foot to the other end of Cali for a piece of pie! I’d be happy to fetch it for you. I will by no means become your bitch but I will play the role. Because honestly I just want to meet you, the team, and learn. I’m in this for me but there for you. If my time at Defranco Creative is over in 3 months I’m sure those 3 months will have done more for me than 2011 did as a whole. You and other youtubers like yourself are to me what professional basketball players are to young black kids. In the most non racial way possible.. You’re living the dream and molding the future. Let me be a part of it… No Homo lol

You say jump and I’ll go get a trampoline.. I can do flips an shit on them! waaay more entertaining to watch!

I’m not lost, I’m not desperate. I’m not looking for a handout, just reaching for an opportunity. No special skill and no diploma. What I’ve got is a passion for this, belief and some trust in this opportunity. Enough trust in it to pack up and drive 30 some hours to your place of business. I’ll get a 2nd job out there so I can rent a place to stay while there.

Hope all of this helps make me look like an ok guy to get to know. Love your faces. Peace.
