I was done tutoring and decided to submit my online timesheet. I watched some new yoyo contest videos in Japan then stumbled across yoyonation (www.yoyonation.com) for no reason at all. I hardly check any yoyo board except for Greg's board (www.yoyoing.com)
Anyway, on the yoyonation board there was a quote that made my ENTIRE WEEK better;
There was a lot going on with me this week aside from the regular school (midterm), work, internship, tutor. There were some personal issues that affected me this week but after I read what the person wrote, my face lit up. ^_^
The Redondo yoyo contest is this Sunday, I'll be leaving after my class ends at 9PM once again. Can you believe this is my 4-5th (I lost count!) time back in SoCal the past two months? Talk about being a dedicated yoyo pro. What's funny about it all is that I am a YOUNG pro yoyoer that only does performances PART-time. If I could make a living out of this, that would be great. Let me rephrase that and shoot for the moon;
If I can make a GOOD living out of being a professional yoyo player, that would be great.
Because everybody in the world knows that the label of a professional yoyo player falls under the category of 'starving artist.' That's why I'll have 2 bachelor's degrees to fall back on. Once I am accepted into Business school and earn my MBA, I'll have that to fall back on too. That is of course, if the 'PRO YOYO PERFORMER' thing never works out. =P
That's called having a plan. That's my plan...Other than that, this yoyo pro is out. Oh, here's the most recent yoyo performance of me; it was my 1st place freestyle at the Pacific Northwest Regional

I feel nervous when meeting pros. When I was talking to Joseph Harris, I was stuttering like crazy!
