America's finest lj
Doing better today, thanks in no small part to receiving two emails over 20 minutes that may make my job situation in the next year a lot clearer. One: someone at Channel 55 in NYC found my YouTube videos from scav and offered me an opportunity to have my videos featured on that channel (which has 24 million viewers, and would pay me).
