My Awesome Experience on an AT&T Print Ad!

Being on a print ad may not sound like much fun but it turned out to be a really fun experience! I got to hang out with a lot of kids my age and have a lot of fun and mess around. The set was located at a really small cute house in a nice neighborhood. The main thing I would be doing is hitting a piñata with a couple of kids at a birthday party. It was really fun. We went crazy with the piñata and since I was doing baseball at the time, I hit it really hard like I was batting. This was when I was like in second grade so of course I was a little hyper. We ended up breaking the piñata multiple times but luckily they had spares. Candy spilled all over the floor every time we broke open the piñata. There was so much but all we were allowed to do was collect it but not eat it. I think it had to do with the fact that it was too much sugar. But we didn't care. We all ate a few pieces after each shot was over. Being with the set teacher was also pretty fun. She had all these fun games that were kind of addicting. But she also taught me how to play the game Uno. It was really fun once I had figured out how to play. I wasn't the best out of the group I was playing with but I wasn't the worst either. After countless more games of Uno and a few more pictures later my mom and I were on our way home. It was a short day with pretty good pay and we got fed really well too. So in my eyes it was a win-win. This may not have been the biggest job I've ever done but it certainly was really fun and I wouldn't trade this wonderful memory for the world.

My Awesome Experience on a Mazda Commercial!

The time when I was on a Mazda commercial was actually pretty fun and cool. The main actress who was Minnie Driver. I guess she's pretty well-known but I've never really heard of her. The only reason I really know her is because my mom kind of told me who she was. She currently stars in a TV show "About A Boy." Anyway, this commercial was about this an Earth Day event-type thing that Mazda was hosting. In one of the scenes, I played on a jungle gym in the background with another kid who was pretty nice. I never really got to see the commercial until recently.  I was sorta bummed because I got blurred out.  But again, this happens all the time. What matters is that you have a great time doing it and you meet new people. I attached the video just in case you wanted to see it. I'm on the weird cage-like apparatus in the background. I'm wearing a plaid orange, brown, and white shirt. One thing I remember vividly about that job was how many sores and blisters I got on my hands after climbing around on that jungle gym for a few hours. That may sound like a horrible day but it was actually pretty fun once I got over the excruciating pain of course. After every shot, we would run to the medic to get Aloe Vera rubbed all over our hands. It was weird and slimy but it soothed the pain.  The next scene was easier.  We got to paint.  The one super cool thing was that this was the first job where I got to keep the wardrobe.  My wardrobe was a cool button down blue stripped Shawn White shirt.  Shawn White is my favorite clothing.  I also remember this was the only job that had a lot of bees everywhere.  We didn't go to get food too often because it was swarmed by bees.  The wardrobe lady was the only one that got stung.  I think that is why she didn't feel like collecting the wardrobe.  I know this wasn't my longest blog and most interesting one, but this day was actually really fun and I would gladly do it all over again!
