Napkin Nights: The Crunk Chronicles

Finally. I'm nearing the completion of the second edition of Napkin Night: The Crunk Chronicles. I started the minute I purchased the first edition copy from Lulu . Especially since I discovered several items that I immediately wanted to fix. First and foremost, the book size format I choose was unfavorable for mass distribution with retailers like Amazon , Barnes & Noble , iTunes , and those are just to name a few. Second, based on reformatting the book size, I wanted to re-edit as artists and writers are haunted by always wanting to perfect their projects basically ... always. I felt there was some continuity issues, changing of point-of-view story telling, and choppy transitions as it was written in my mind as a script to a graphic novel / comic book / movie script. And lastly, it was my first publishing attempt therefore my first "pancake". Again, stay tuned for my big announcement soonish! 'los; out.

Carlos Warehouse Chronicle II

Woodinville, WA - I'm just north of two months in the warehouse. I've learned so much about building life. Mostly by experience, observation, and being open to learn and be critiqued. For example, acronyms and short sentences are the preferred way of communicating what you need and quickly. RTV is the acronym for Return To Vendor, which the item will be shipped back to the vendor. Or short phrases such as go-backs and box down are self evident tasks. Others are a bit obscure such as "I need a 99" or "a keyflick, please" as they are store specific. I've been warned that the culture tends to reflect high school, but what the warning doesn't incorporate that I was successful in high school. Or at least from my perspective. I was one of the few that could seamlessly slip from one social circle to another without incident or roadblocks of social convention. I decided that I'm not afraid of hard work so no task is beneath me. Go-backs are basical...
