Update

Please excuse my lack of updating. A lot has been going on in my world. The good news is that I am now employed.

There is a lot that I could go into on the negative side of things, but I won't right now. Suffice it to say that the fight is constant and ongoing. Dealing with the psychological state of people in this society can sometimes be draining.

I am continuing to pursue a career in journalism, videography, and photography. I now have a membership with AOC (Acadiana Open Channel), so i can attend all the classes for free and learn a lot in the area of TV production. I haven't been able to attend classes like I'd like, but I will be able to soon. Then I intend to produce or at least host some shows on AOC where I will speak of the condition of the black communities here in Lafayette. There's so much to be addressed.

A couple weeks ago I went to file a complaint against a cop for false arrest (criminal trespassing) in a case that started in September of 2009. I didn't go to court for it until May 5 of this year. The case was thrown out of court, and I figured I needed to file the complaint--which I hadn't--before it was too late. Who knew that it would be "and act of congress" to do so. The officer who I had to meet with to file the complaint was completely resistant to my doing so. it took a good 20 minutes before I wore him down--being calm and repectful despite his rudeness--and was finally able to fill out the form to file the complaint. I guess I can't really expect anything better. It's really a trip around here where law enforcement is concerned anyway.

Despite all of the drama, things are working out pretty well for me, and I can only be grateful for those who came before me, the most high, and all those who support me and take an interest in my progress.

Peace.
