Last night I was talking with lonelyindigo and I was about to answer her in the eye colour thread, but when I saw I was going to change so much the topic, I decided to start a new thread.
This is about some things about me and what I do and like to do.
"Working in the media"
And I'm starting with this phrase I liked a lot:

Definetely, I would like to know u more and actually, like the thing we talked a bit yesterday, that would be great when I can go to NY again to meet u in person.. eh..
I really want to see more than one person that I have met here!!
In the meantime... here is a bit more about me.
Ok. ..so... about what am I doing here in the west coast?.... I don't know either!!
ha ha... just kidding....
Well I came to this city planing to stay here for six months or one year, but then I got a job in a News T.V. Station... and I wanted to quit everyday but it became a challenge.. and it became very fun, so I stayed until last april.
I started writing and doing voice overs and then I learnt to edit and I did some .. what we called "packages"... which are stories in 2 min...
Then... I became video editor and I worked with and for all the teams there...
Later I learnt to do the graphics on line.. which is to put those... titles in the screen when people are watching.... and those backgrounds... I mean... I didn't do the graphic design but I used to put those things on and to take them out...
And I used to edit during the day, before the shows and during the shows... I did the graphics...
Then... working in the booth, I learnt to produce aswell .. so I became producer on line.........and that was really really challenging and fun!
And all that in one year.
Then the station closed.
ha ha...
but not because of me!! ha ha ha..
no, well it closed for financial reasons....
For me was cool... when it closed, because like I said, many days I wanted to quit... specially at the beggining.. And that's because i'm not a news person, i'm not a journalist, actually i don't even like to watch the news...
but I was recomended for that job and ...I entered almost by force but then I started to learn so many things and ....it became a challenge everyday and I also fell in love with editing.... LORD!! it was like playing video games!!!! It was such like a game to me, I could be hours doing it!!
I used to do collages with images before... as a hobby .. and editing was so cool for me cos I love images... and also the way u edit u tell the story.... etc........it was awesome!!! I want to buy the software I used to use there and keep using it just for fun!!!
Editing was such like a game to me... I could be hours doing it!!
And actually... at the beginning ... I was about to cry when I was watching -editing some news......... he he.... sensitive eh........... but later I learnt how to manage that and .... I used to listening to music... etc etc... while I was editing........ and like just focussing in the cool shots.... (my favorites were the aerial shoots)... and in the tricks for editing... and.. many other things... So ... i never knew what was going on in the world, even working in a Newscast... ha ha...
Okey.... wow........ well there u go lonelyindigo....... a page of the life of Achilles in this time line... from april 07 to april 08
Nothing to do with my Warrior life.. he he... but hey...... I used to fight very good with my boss... And then we became such good friends and had lot of fun together...
...O.k. that's all for now.
Achilles.
