Working at the World Series 2010 Game 1
When I heard the news about the Giants going the World Series I was excited not only for my home team but also that I had the possibility of working at the World Series. Throughout my junior year of high school I worked for this program called Juma Ventures. This program was created to help the youth get into college and to also provide the youth with a steady part time job. For almost 3 years I have worked at the Giants games, CAL games and 49er games. Back then my boss used to call me the corn dog king because I was the person who sold the most amount of corn dogs. Even though this job never paid well to constantly walk around the stadium selling a product, at least I was able to watch the games. When I left my part time job to attend college, my boss told me I was welcome to come back and work at any of the games. A few days ago when I asked my boss if I could work at the world series, he said "sure why not?" I then decided that since this was a once in a lifetime opportunity, I took the risk of missing one day in every class and making the 7.5 hour drive down. Game 1: When I arrived at the stadium every where I looked there were Giants fan and there were only a few Texas fans. Even when I was selling my product it seemed liked every time a Texas fan walked by they would get booed by the crazy drunk Giants fans. Once the Giants fans started leading the game the crowd was full of energy. As Im walking up and down the aisles I can feel the vibration of the crowd cheering from my laminated corn dogs sign. Every aisle I would walk down you can hear the hyped up Giants fans saying Ooooooo Reeebay. When the score became 8 Giants Texas 3 Juan Uribe just slammed a homerun, I was standing in front of the bleachers tunnel right where the ball came down. At that instant I was 10 ft away from the homerun ball but there were so many fans stomping on each other trying to get ball that I didn't even attempt to get the ball but at least I was on tv for a second. That night was an experience of a lifetime I felt like I was almost apart of the game and I couldn't wait to work Game 2.

I've noticed over the course of 5-6 years that the music that I have made has changed dramatically. When I listen to some of the music that I had first created I noticed that my music was very repetitive and I would use very few instruments. I also noticed that alot of the instruments I used were very cheesy/electronic sounding. Even though I noticed alot of downsides for when I first started creating music, I also realized that when I first started creating music I had a fresh mind full of creativity. Now I realize that I need to take time to brainstorm before I create a beat. When I first started creating music I would create different types of genres but somehow every song would have a flute in it or a synthetic sounding flute. Now I have been creating all types of genres without a flute. I have also noticed that recently I've been creating alot of my music with samples but I believe its time for me to stop using samples and to start using my creativity again. Even though alot of my old songs had a cheesy sound to them, they are the type of songs that would get stuck in your head easily. Also alot of people who would listen to my old songs would say ,"You made this from scratch, you're good at it. I believe that once I start creating alot of music from scratch, I will get my creative mojo back. Once Im no longer piled up with school work, I will start making music from scratch again.

making music part3
After being inspired by "Fit To Proceed" I realized that I could make alot of money off of my creativity and someday I could end up in an album or two. Over time I realized the more songs you have, the more you gain experience/variety. Soon I started creating beats at least 3 times a day. One day in my junior year of high school I met several rap artists that were interested in my beats. That day I made 20 dollars off two beats that I never really cared about. A week later all kinds of people were asking me about my beats so I decided that I should create a watermark or logo to certify my beats so no one can plagiarize my creativity.
Three months ago I wanted to create beats on something that is more professional and something that would expand my creativity. After days of research I finally found exactly what I was looking for, it's called the Maschine by Native Instruments. This beautiful machine called Maschine allows you to sample and create beats from scratch. The maschine allows me to create beats in less than 2 hours and it's one of the coolest beat making toys I've ever seen. I remember when I first made a beat on the Maschine, I spent 5 or 6 hours just trying to figure out how to make a beat. To this day I only use the Maschine to make beats because it's the best beat making machine that I have ever used.
