Big on the internet...not so much on blogging

I've been using the internet for probably 11 years now. Can't be completely certain because I suck with remembering what happened in what years. You know when you read a self-biography or someone tells a story and they can rattle off something that happened and remember what year and month it happened in? Yeah, that's not me unless it was some major event. I always believe that those people are just picking some random time they think it happened and deciding that they are close enough so it doesn't matter if they're off a little.

Anyways, I've been on the internet for a long time and never really been into the whole blogging thing. Never really got into the whole MySpace or Facebook thing either, maybe I'm a little anti-social. Most of my internet time was spent on message boards reading peoples impressions on things or viewing peoples work. So by creating a blog and putting some of my thoughts and ideas out there, I'm going out on a bit of a limb for myself.

So hi, I'm Andy Garcia. A 24-year old student attending Riverside City College right now. I've had no clue what I wanted to do as a career until about 1.5 years ago. I tried going to video editing, tv production, and even computer programming but nothing stuck with me as something I could sit somewhere for 8 hours a day doing. That was until I starting taking graphic design classes at RCC and something changed. I was taking classes with work I enjoyed, and for the first time ever, I could see a future for myself.

Something changed. I was always a pretty good student but I made sure to work as hard as I could for projects, and this carried over into my life outside of school. I made new relationships, I began working out which eventually led to me taking up MMA and losing a lot of weight (which I've put some of which back on due to some medical issues not allowing me to train but I'm working on it :p), I met a girl I love and I just felt happier overall.

So enough spiel about me for now. Just enjoy some of my work (hopefully) and comment freely.

Go Lakers!
