I got hasselhoff'd

So that internship at MKTG with clients such as nike, pepsi, etc. I was set to start next week but I haven't been able to get the guy on the phone, for that last week and a half.
So I finally call the front desk and not his cell where I have only been getting voicemail. So I talk to him and he said he needed to do a second interview with me(i'm just saying call a me, I answer my phone). Anyway so he says come by and I was in the area so 15min later I show up. Walk in and the cute front desk girl remembers me and asks if I was finally going to be starting I could only reply "I know seriously, right? Not like there isn't work to be done for my salary of free." I make my way back and he is getting ready for his trip to Vegas(I didn't realize that memorial day was a big Las Vegas weekend for NYC d'bags) He runs out for a second and then comes back and says,
"you are the one who worked with david hasselhoff right?"
I said, "You mean Hugh Jackman? what does hasselhoff do haha."
"You worked with Hugh jackman? Really?"
"Yeah a good story actually, but I don't think I told you about it when we met last time. Anyway, what is going on with the internship because I feel like you don't have great news for me."
"Well two weeks ago when I was trying to get you to come in, the job got filled and now we are all booked on our interns"
"I don't quite understand becasue I was under the impression 3 weeks ago that I was starting then I showed up and the got told come back on the 27th and have been leaving you messages, maybe I don't have the correct number, did it change because I reached you one it once?"
"Sorry but we are full and hopefully this other person quits or something, so we can bring you in mid June or something, so give me a call around that time if your schedule allows"
"Well it allows now, because I have turned gigs down because I had this commitment I thought. I guess we will see in June. Good to have met you and sorry we didn't get to work together"

front desk girl says "bye I'll see you soon"
"doubtful, I got hasselhoff'd by a name dropper, bye"

So I walked across the island to union square to apply for a TA at New York Film Academy again(The squeky wheel gets oiled first)
I let myself be mad and shout swear words on the walk over Put on some music, but by the time I got there I decided it was just another funny story I get to tell about my rise(mostly thanks to kanye west's "Last Call" coming on in a shuffle, which is basically Kayne talking for 12mins about getting evicted out of his apt that didn't have a phone trying to pay bills with beats and until his deal with roca-fella and meeint Jay-z)

Good News
Basicly I have some more freedom and some shit is happening.

I am part of the Vance nyCC team, which is a brand new company who the prez is a hustler that has been producing records for the last 20 years (scarface)and everyone is from the Bronx, but me. Right now I'm basically working myspace sites spreading the word to possible clients but now that I'm on the team they are looking to start doing a lot of video. So basically I'll be the expert So I'll be building it from ground up like I have before. Yeah the company is new and isn't something impressive on the resume just yet but we all are getting the hustle on and it will be a happening quick.

I have a trial run next week in for an intern for Heavytone Records working on a behind the scenes documentary webisodes type thing for a grammy nominated artist (co-wrote "911" with wyclef jean) who's album drops in July. The big issue was I had this other internship(see hasselhoff) that was eating up three days a week. They were internested in my management from building the VCC media team for Vtv.

I got asked to take my shirt off at another interview today becasue my tattoo was peaking out and they insisted so I showed them. Looked up the company afterwards and Way out Productions is not taking its name from outdated surfer terms as I invisioned "way out bro, sick wave" but more in the sense of coming 'out' to your parrents that you are a gay/lesbian. Oh well, they have projects going then I want to be part of it.

Tuesday I have a freelance gig working for a catholic news station, NET TV. I have to go learn how to use their gear friday in brooklyn. I didn't think I would get the job becasue I didnt have a car. I don't really like journalism of stuffy religions (i.e. catholic) but I get to use some P2 cameras which I haven't uses yet, really I don't understand the hype Sony is shooting to Compact Flash cards which everyone already has readers for so why not use the estabished infrastrucure? Anyway I am shooting something about a catholic conference that teaches unwed fathers to be a good dad, It is called MAN UP. Should I tell them I have a sword from my MAN UP program and our marketing for it was sick with lions running around in the ads. see it here; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8foJkm49fr0&feature=channel_page of course made by yours truly.

Had another interview today, phone interview with asylum.com and lemondrop.com which are aol sites that are life style sites (men and women) that are going to be offering video this summer. They seemed very impressed with my demo reel(I need to add Huge Jackman to it) and it will be very hands on. I need to watch a tutorial on green screening techniques in Final Cut Pro so i don't have to lie about it. I forgot to mention that I worked with Hugh Jackman hopefully some other guy doesn't doesn't know Chuck Norris.

I shot a bunch of Cental park footage the other day I'm set to edit it saturday but I think I need another day of shooting becasue there is about half the park I missed, but I might just make an edit and change it later.

what comes to mind with I hear hasselhoff
