I have decided to write my life story, a prologue to the Auckland Saga if you will (coming soon), And since the store has been empty from 5pm (its now 7pm) I had time to update my deviant art details (which you can see at the bottom of this page) and write this short script - all true by the way.
Enjoy it til i have the accompanying Art uploaded and printed off at book form at my local shop while i try to big up my name and personal website (money should come in soon financing that site, i cant wait :) it will hopefully give me a good rep and a site to go to for those curious to see what I'm up to)
But without furthur Ado. My script i will start drawing for tomorrow :)
____
I wasn't born a fighter but still i had ambitions
Kindergarten life taught me right from wrong
Primary school taught me friends are more important than what you learn
High school taught me what you learn is more important than who you hang out with
and Being a good student never made me the cool student
But comparing grades to the real world is like comparing apples to oranges, which i ended up doing at the local produce distribution center, started at 15 years old, $8.50 an hour
for years.
I wanted to quit. they transferred me. It was mutual.
But again, i stayed at the centers little brother company, for years.
I left my $17 dollar an hour job to be free. what a fail.
Most of the time at work, I dreamed of being a famous rapper. I still do.
I took a Audio engineering course which i failed, not cos of my grades, but cos i left after the first term after realizing it was the wrong course for me.
Ever since my Maui days at Hornby primary I've enjoyed being on stage
Rapping for 3 people on a late weekday night and stuffing up my 16 lines was a new low,
But nothing to dropping a whole song claiming its an instrumental at battle of the bands a year later with a Dysfunctional band i liked to call home.
I got Married. No kids, we decided to wait while our careers blossom. Only now am i seeing what a co-worker said about the joys of marriage. That's when i discovered Sarcasm.
My Job selling Karate changed from me selling classes to me selling my stuff and moving back in with my parents.
I was Josh Kirwin (the face for depression here in NZ) and ended up applying for a telemarketing job that offered a morning or afternoon shift at 14 dollars an hour plus bonuses if you made over 5 sales selling hotel packages.
which sucked, i was used to selling a memorized page, now i had to sell a 4 page pitch in a 2 minute phone call with basically no rapport, i left mutually with no records broken, or sales made. and my self esteem jumped off the nearest bridge.
I decided i would work where i would enjoy the work rather than be tied down in a place i couldn't leave. Result? Now i work hard at a video store, for $13.50 an hour
The Boss is great (the best I've ever had), but with no raise prospects or future i sign up for a course in Auckland for film making, hoping for dreams to come true.
And My Real life Story is To be continued.
