My name is Sam. I am currently a tenth-grader at an awesome highschool in South Miami of the same name ;) I love chatting with folks, so don't be shy.

God is my creator. He rocks and I love Him <3

Pretty much I like to draw. In fact, I like to draw so much that I've decided that that's what I want to do for the rest of my life. Not only that, though. I want, not only to draw, but to move drawings. Wait, not just drawings, either--I want to move people, too! SO we reach the conclusion of animation, and that's like killing two birds with one stone, you know, moving drawings that move people! Then, of course, animation is also a mixture of almost every art ever expressed: music, dance, theatre, fine art, creative writing, film...Basically, I want to become an animator when I'm older.

What I'm working toward is CalARTS, but really it's towards becoming an animator, which is my dream
I want to bring things to life and inspire people and, man, I want to draw, and I want to bring my drawings to life...I want to see them move and be overjoyed because, darnit!, after working on them and stressing about how this and that moves and whatnot, I'll be attached to them, and they'll be real, real to me and other people will be able to see them, too. See them be real. See them moving, living. See them FEELING!
No, THAT'S what I want to do. I want to do the art of giving life. Not just pencil strokes. Not just silly cartoons. Not just any other naysay that has ever been said. Life (yeah, I know that was really corny...all you animators out there are probably rolling your eyes right now, but est true).

Music::
Swing, Big Bands, Jazz, Latino...Mostly anything that will entertain, inspire, and educate. Usually anything if it has a good, inspiring message--yha, even RAP sometimes--but mostly I stick to the Christian tunes and the whole deal.

Quotes::
"Whatever you can vividly imagine, whatever you can sincerely believe, whatever you can ardently desire, whatever you can enthusiastically act upon will inevitably come to pass." --Deanna

"All our dreams can come true if we have the courage to persue them." --Walt Disney

"Believe in the character; animate with sincerity." --Glen Keane (other animators have said this or something like this as well, but since GK is my favourite, he gets the "honour" of being the one quoted for this one XDDD)

"I will be happy to tell you the exact date when traditional animation will die. It will die on the day that human beings no longer wish to pick up a pencil and convert their observations, fantasies and imagintions into exquisite drawings that strike a universal chord in the deep collective unconscious of humankind. It will die on the day that we cease to be amazed by drawings that move about in similitude to live itself, laughing, crying, loving and hating in ways so recongnizable to us that we cannot help but be moved by them.
It will die when we cease to appreciate art and the process of art: an act that ineluctably binds creator to creation through the touch of instrument to paper. From the days of ochre smeared on the walls of primordial caves to the abstractions of modern art this act has captivated us--and so it always will."
--Dr. Toon.

On InnerSpark:
Rockesstra: Yep, it sure is XDD YOu never know--you might end up with them as dorm partners, though, from what I know, the art students are mixed so that the different fields can "cross-pollinate" or something like that...
alranth: ...cross-pollinate sounds really wrong in this context
