I know I haven't posted in a while but trust that I'm still around and reading. I just figured that I'd share my day with you all. Work has been really scarce out here in LA. To the point where I didn't know how much longer I could go living out here (financially). I jumped on board editing for a weekly webseries called MotoMan back in November. The pay isn't nearly enough to pay bills or the like. It's pretty much a start up show (team of 5-6 guys). Anyways, I've been editing promo's/trailers/commercials for them for the past few months, not really knowing what the exact launch date would be. Then I got a call saying that the first episode would go live on http://www.craveonline.com on January 11th (check it out if you have the time!!!). I knew that was a sign...
Then just last week, I saw a posting for an assistant editor position/game capture specialist (and if you know me, you'd know that my two biggest passions are filmmaking & the video game industry). I applied for the job and got an email back no later than 15 mins at 1:11pm. I said "Hmmmmm..."

My call back was this morning at 10am and what sucked about it is that I was up until 7am putting the final touches on the MotoMan episode that was going live this morning. I was thinking to myself "Man, I really wanted to get a good nights sleep so I could go in and be on point for the follow up interview." But the whole night I was constantly being hit with number sequences as if I were a punching bag hah. They must've been letting me know that everything was going to be alright because when I got home after the interview, they called me and told me that I was the best candidate for the position and they'd love to have me start tomorrow!
It's unbelievable. I was always a believer in 11:11 but obviously this is just another instance in which cements the belief more and more. If I could hug a midwayer right now, it'd be one of those big bear hugs where I lift them up and spin them around haha. I couldn't be more thankful if I tried. Anyways, I just thought I'd share my 1/11 day of awesomeness with you all and I hope you're day as filled with as much joy as mine!
Best & Love
