What do you think about....?

Hey, so for all of you who might read this post, I would like to get some feedback from you: would you pay $15 dollars for a dance ticket?
Please let me know if you would. (jonatan_lopez_10@live.com)

I'm new here......Where do I go now?

Hello, My name is Nathanael. I'm one of two new members of the soar team, it's nice to meet you. I'm a student in the Integrated Media Program studying Video Production. I will be graduating this June (2010). I'm not to sure what I will be doing after but I will continue doing free lance work. I'm experienced with Final Cut Pro, After Effects (Motion Graphics), Logic Pro and various other Mac Based Programs.

I'm an Apple Finatic. I love Apple Products, I own an Iphone, Macbook Pro, 27 inch Imac, and several Ipods. So you can see my guilty facination with apple.

I'm pretty new to the Soar team but it's been a fun time so far, not to mention that they pay for 6 credits of my 12, so that's nice.

This week has been pretty laid back but there has been a lot of projects to finish up. I'm currently editing 3 projects for class at the same time. I'm also working on the second Silk Espresso Commercial. The first commercial is currently airing on Comcast Cable.

If you are interested in seeing any of my work you can Click Here

Considering i don't want to waste to much of your time so i'm going to say farewell until next time but i will be back soon. It was nice to meet you.

Sincerely
Nathaanael Sams

Comtrol S man... Control S

"AWW MAN!!!" "NOT ME NOT ME!" "DAMN IT" "COME ON"....
These are some of the thoughts that might cross your mind if you didn't CONTROL S. Like me...
I sat down unsuspecting any foul play.. sat down hoping to share thoughts, experience and the over all awesomeness of my amazing life... however what i got instead was a steaming monitor of bull #@!*. Don't lie... its happened to you too.. your busy working along, feeling proud, accomplished and then BAM!!!!
it's gone. all of it. nothing spared of the regret, horror or humiliation of forgetting to Control S.
if your lucky maybe... just maybe you've got a fancy auto button that will do it for you. but for the rest of us "normal people" we have to do it ourselves. find the file pull down menu and do it.
here's the deal. learn from me. remember me. don't become me. save what your working on. SAVE IT!!! DO YOU HEAR ME?!? don't loose an amazing blog that you've been working on because you forgot to Control S! it wont come back! don't be me!

this has been your guide

The Fight.

My brain and my heart,
They're working apart,
People tell me not to trust either one.
Beliefs, values,
Hey you! don't be partisan!,
That's what they ask for.
I wanted to help,
And now I'm afraid,
That if I mess up even once,
Everything will become nonfunctional.
I trust myself,
But then more words hit my face,
The one above said,
Cursed is the one who trusts in man.
