I love how underneath "Your Biography", as long as needed is stated. Everyone has a story and I don't think mine will take up that much room. Is that considered "sad"? I love to write about all kinds of topics, especially fashion, entertainment events and what's on my mind, but telling my "life story" always seems to be a challenge for me. I'll type a few words and then the writer's block comes into play. Every time. Tonight though, I'm finishing this application submission because like most people in Los Angeles, I'm a struggling artist pursuing what I like to call, the new, revamped, "American Dream"...in 2012. This new "Dream" version doesn't only "not" involve a two-story colonial with a white picket fence, a garage, two kids and a dog of some sort...now its more like a one bedroom apartment, two jobs just to pay bills, no kids, maybe some fish and a gay lover.

Ever since I can remember the only way I ever could truthfully express myself was with a pen and paper or dancing. I was more of a creative writing kid than I was a debate kid you could say. Cutting to the chase, I'm a 24 year-old with a 34 year-old soul who just moved back to Los Angeles from Orlando to find my niche. I've been told my whole life that I'm a very talented individual and now I'm trying to figure out what my talents are and how can I utilize them to living a life that matters. I figure I'm good with the pen and paper deal so why not try a professional shot at it instead of just "for me".

Life has thrown me many lemons in the past few years and now I'm just at a point of squeezing them out and adding a nice smooth vodka to the equation. (Of course after hours that is) I want to put a dent into the world while I'm here. So now after so many years of being too "afraid" of being let down or denied, I have no choice but to put myself out there. Opportunity is knocking somewhere but I'm trying to figure out which door or window its at.

I want to thank you for your time, I know it wasn't much of a timeline of my life, but I'm content with it, as I hope you are too. I didn't have a photo URL that I could find so I hope that my Facebook, Twitter, and Tumblr does some justice. Once again, thank you for your time, hopefully be hearing something positive from you soon!
