if only the future I could see

right now it is quite unclear to me

then not so hard would this all be

but all bad things, they come in three

some say there is pleasure in pain

but somehow it pours it doesnt just rain

difficult are my thoughts to restrain

all the while they rack my brain.

to the universe there is ebb and flow

but how these work I do not know

it allows us to grow

and away it also makes us go

and over its entire breadth

the hardest part is certainly death

why do we have to lose our breath

why do we have to lose our breath

yes i am still alive,

      i trust that this update finds everyone doing well and enjoying whatever it is that they are doing. i have been very busy in the last couple of months since i updated this thing and many of you i havent even spoken to since before my last update and its entirely my fault. i will try to remedy that as soon as possible.

     i spent the summer working as an inter at a subsidiary of FOX SPORTS. i was the coffee slave, but only for the first week. while i was there they changed video editing systems and nobody who had worked for the company new how to use it. fortunatly for me thats the only editing program i ever knew. so here was this intern (me) teaching all these people that had been there forever, how to do thier jobs. that is why i was only the coffee slave for one week. after that they started sending me to live shoots all over the country. i even came detroit for business meetings once during the summer.

    i met alot of interesting people while i was down there and one of them happened to be the coordinator of camera operators for the orlando magic (the pro basketball team) so i spent the first semester of school getting paid to work as cameraman. that was alot fun and also very profitable. i was also working for the walt disney world at the same time so i was regularly working 50 and 60 hour weeks. so i was ridiculously busy hence the lack of contact. so that is what i have been up to.

   i am now back at calvin ready to finish school so i can back to the job that was promised to at FOX SPORTS.  incentive to hurry up and get out of here i guess. anyways i probably should get back to my reading but feel free to drop me a live whenever. perez@calvin.edu.

the prodigal child returns,

          and he returns with much to talk about. all kinds of mixed feelings...oh where to start? well lets start where it would all make sense from. the fact that I am NOT at calvin college this semester. at least for this semester, maybe longer. its a ridiculously longs story but i will give you the abridged version. i owe calvin a lot of money and i cant get any kind of loan to pay it back and until i can do that calvin told me basically to go screw myself until i can pay them. which i understand but it was still pretty hard. there have been a few silver linings to all of this though. for one thing i am now hired officially as a camera man and utility for the orlando magic home basketball games. so that is pretty nice...the pay is pretty good too. and i am still working at disney. and moving up in the chain of command. so that is looking good too. it was real hard to make the decision to stay here though. there will be and i am sure already are alot of people that are disapointed about the fact that i am not back in the great north. though i am sure there are some who havent even noticed so that doesnt make me feel all that bad. i am just working all the time and trying to figure out how the heck i am going to pay calvin back. we shall see. if you want the unabridged version of all of this feel free to email me at miamimoviestar@gmail.com. thats all for me for now. hope to hear from alot of you soon. -Perez

hello all,

   it has been a great long while since i have updated but it has also been a great long time since i felt the need to vent. this past was an interesting one. many things happened that i did not expect, both good and bad but for the time being the unexpected badness seems to outwiegh the good. last sunday my parents came into town. well maybe i should backtrack and tell you what i have been doing this summer. i am working for sun sports which the florida affiliate of fox sports as an intern. when i am not doing that i have been working at the disney mgm studios at the indiana jones stunt show. alright back to what i was saying. sunday my parents came to visit me in orlando. the brought with them my mail from miami. the reason this is important is becuase they didnt give me the mail till sunday night. in that mail were thier free passes to disney, but since they didnt give it to me in time they had to pay to get in. after we hung out at disney for the day i took my brother to a professional wrestling event, that was pretty fun. we had the best seats in the house becuae either he or i were in every camera shot and the thing was on pay per view. oops on thier part. so monday i went to my internship, that took all day, nothing terribly exciting. tuesday was the day that sticks out. i get a call from my dad that he is about half way to miami and he has been rear ended on the expressway, so i have to drive 2 hours to go pick him up. that was kinda sad but not the worst to come. after i sorted out the whole car thing then i called stephanie becuase earlier in the day i told her i would call her back. when i called her back, and this is the bad part i was talking about earlier, she dumped me, out of the blue, over the phone. i totally didnt see it coming and i understand that she had her reasons but whoa was that a day. the rest of the week was fairly normal until yesterday. there is a company called the pampered chef that rented out the studios for the night and i was hired as one of two hundred people to stand along a red carpet and yell and scream and ask for peoples autographs everytime someone else came into the park. that was pretty fun i think the people screaming were having as much fun as the people coming into the park. and then i got paid to watch fireworks, which was also pretty sweet.  so thats what is going on with me. i hope this find you all in good health and having good weeks. -drew
