09/21/21 Earth, Wind, and Fire
Things have ramped up big time in my life. Thanks to many connections and the trust I've build up with various people, I've been given more opportunities than I've ever had in the past, including being able to do advertising for a veggie-based food company, creating a massive-scale audio drama, and even potentially interviewing high-label musical artists? How did we get here from that first post?
I'm very proud to be where I am, but I want to make sure that I never lose sight of who made it possible. God. Every step of the way, I've seen Him work through me and the things that He's done to add to my success that gives me more opportunity to better represent His Kingdom. Despite going through so much in the last 2 years that I feel would emotionally cripple many people, He has remained faithful and loving.
Even so, we're close to wrapping up our time at Moody Bible Institute. Almost time to close the curtain and see where we go next in the professional world. So far, my prospects include a potential job in Texas working for the crew of The Chosen, but that will take a lot of time to figure out.
No matter what, my trust is in Him who gave me all these opportunities. Amen.

08/31/20 Recognition
So now we've reached the point where I'm starting to get recognized for the work I do. In my most recent endeavor, I decided to try to gain identity in the Halo community, under the name of LASOHalo. I've been able to gain a rather large following, to the point that I may actually be able to sell merch pretty soon. Very exciting.
On the more professional side of things, work has been scarce thanks to the pandemic and national issues. I'm hoping that we're able to balance things out soon so we can get back to progression, rather than destruction.
Otherwise, not much else has happened. I've been stuck on my own for some time and it made me very self-conscious about the quality of my work. Thankfully, I got to talk with John-Clay Burnett from Motion University, who gave me a bit of support and helped me get out of the funk I was in. Big kudos to that guy.

01/28/20 Next Steps
I now feel like I'm ready to push myself out into the public and start broadcasting what I do to the masses. I've already got a couple active workers in the industry giving me names and business cards, but I know that it's going to be a lot harder than this.
I've been working for a phone company for the last half year, and it's honestly not doing what I was hoping it would for me. It pays well, but what does that matter if I have to pay so much for living anyway? Along with that, I can't even feel moral while working this job since it's basically just a glorified salesman position.

Perhaps I'm just spoiled on the feeling of creation. That adrenaline rush when you piece clips together in just the right way that makes you think, "yes". One can never be too sure.
I've pushed myself to try making a piece of content every day and releasing it to the public for an entire year. It's only the 28th day, and I'm already feeling the burn in my fingertips. I'm hoping that with the construction of a new PC, things might get a whole lot easier. This current build I have takes me nearly 4 hours to render anything in 4K. That just won't cut it.
Here's hoping something turns around soon.
05.09.19 First Drop
With the creation of this website, I solidify myself as an active creator. It's an interesting thing to realize, as a person who had no wide aspirations for the passion that I had been building up. This isn't to say that I'm upset with the results, I did heavily enjoy making this website and going through my two-hundred uploaded videos to find the things I'm most proud of.

Basically anything from 2015 and up would have been fine, because that's essentially when my editing skills actually became a reality. These days, I look back on them and simply laugh at the young and foolish self that decided that Sony editing software was more reliable than any other software available on the market.
Looking back on my creations is like looking back at my own history, since I can remember every night that I spent working on every project. It's a mixture of pain, love, and pure/raw anger. But oh well, your past leads to your future, and I'm glad where my past has taken me.
I consider myself a new player in the game when it comes to being a content creator, but I'm hoping that I can at least make some sort of mark. We'll see what the future has in store.
