We Won't Move!
Saturday June 30 will be the opening reception of I-Hotel: We Won't Move. Of course I will be there to do the photography. I have declared myself as the unofficial photographer for the I-Hotel Manilatown Center. Ever since the Spring Semester was over I been helping out with Manilatown taking pictures and posting them up on Facebook. I do have a lot of time to spare to help them out. I am not getting much hours at Sam's Club so I should be using the time off to help Matthew and Manilatown out. Before the event begins at 3 I will be help setting up for the event. I presume that there will be a projector, table for the panel speaker, and refreshment. Hopefully there will be a lot of people attending. I know for a fact that Eric Pido (SFSU Professor) will be attending.
Advocate of the Past
I bump into an old colleague
from my past. Paul Debolt (Contra Costa College instructor) stop by Sam's Club
a few weeks ago. He was surprise to see me after ten years. I was involved with
his journalism program, the Advocate from August 1999 through May 2002. I will
admit that I did not enjoy my stay with them. It was the painful three year
experience that I have (to this day I still do not know why I stay with a group
of people that were making me feel bad). The people that I was involve with
were the worse people to be associate with. These people were very stuck up. We were all young and thinking that we were all that. I
will admit that I was the lone wolf in the Advocate. I was just a person that knew reality compare to having a big ego.
There were some people that I got along with (Glen Massey and Charles McFerran). Those two were the only people that I could talk with. The others were just over their head thinking that they were the best. Now where are these people are at now with their lives they are not doing journalism anymore. Some are still doing what they are passionate about (Marc Carig is the only person I know that did succeed in journalism). I'll admit I change major once I got into San Francisco State University. There are other things I can do with photography that does not involve journalism.

After seeing Paul I have been debating to check out the old room in Contra Costa College. Maybe it is time to let the past go and accept forgiveness. It was not Paul fault that I had a bad experience with the Advocate. I just hope if I do decide to stop by I can tell the new faces of the Advocate to stay positive.
