Okay, as the decider, I had to make some quick choices. I receive many willing souls to bare it all on the phone. Thank You everybody. I could only tape a few because I am in the convince people section of this work. I am in the process of getting capable free labor. Thus, for now, I only took "samples" for the ones with the moneys to see. If they look at the variety of our stories and who different each person as an individual. It will convince people to help me. Californiadreaming' I say I am sorry for being unprepared many, many times. I did call you back but I don't know if it was not your phone because my cell phone is a mess! Yes, your help will be wonderful. Thanks Everybody.

Okay, I had a meeting with the prof. He really wanted to help me and gave me really important words of wisdom. For once, He advice me against trying to enlist Freshmen since they are too green for this kind of work. It is better to have three really good volunteers than 20 that need constant supervision. He told me that he was going to foward my e-mail to several good students. still, i have to wait a few more days. He told me to enroll as an independent student but that will costs me around $1,600. He was worried because I had no access to equipment. I cannot get school camcorders because someone stole a 5,500 camcorder last semester. He would be a huge problem if he allowed me to use one. Still, he gave me permission to use the lab which resolves almost 80% of the problem. Yes, for us!!!!!!

Yes, I would love to make a bio of all the people who e-mail me. Unfortunately, I am an army of one. Thus, I have to make around seven videos in around seven days. 2 videos are informative. Thus, I can only make 5 bios which is quite ambitious. Death count starts on Monday. Video and the media in general is a very subjective medium. Very few people know about the Dream Act. Many of those who know about the Dream Act think this is a little mexican ammesty. They also think that Latin America is like Mexico, just more far away. Many of the videos about the Dream Act showcase mexican/LatinAmerica dreamers. So far, I have a Canadian American, an European American, a soon to be soldier 'cause his plans are more important in this case than his country of origin. I have Juan Gomez which covers Latin America. Now, if I could get someone from Asia or Africa that would be awesome. I am also going to get CaliforniaDreaming'. Now, respect where respect is due. Dreamers from the South of the border had been incredible kind with me. This wouldn't be possible without you. Yet, I am the decider and I have to showcase the less known face of Dream. which it does not rule you out because as soon as I get more volunteers, I am going to get more things done. Just to inform You because I have an open door policy.

Okay, so I was ready to edit and in my way to college -i live like 50 min. away from school. When my car broke... I was pretty confident that I was going to finish on Monday and now it seems that I will start on Monday. If i can get another volunteer this is not going to be a huge deal. Still, this pisses me off so much. I was about to give up but all of you guys are my inspiration to keep going. You are the most powerful argument Dream will ever have. So, I might get better footage during the rest of the week and music and image permits and so forth. I am goind to do this. It is a damm fact not wishful thinking. By the way, keep calling. I called while thumbing my way home!
