Camille Mendez: Bachelors in Economics

So, I'm practically almost done. My worst thought was not passing 2 of my classes I had Spring Quarter, but I did!!! That was the greatest news ever!!! I can't believe my 3 years of college already passed by. That Saturday, June 12, I walked at my graduation and moved out of Irvine into my permanent home.
Surprisingly, I became really emotional during my graduation. I felt for one thing that it wasn't my graduation. I mean I knew some people, but being able to leave college with the people you came in with would've been great. Not that I'm complaining or anything, but my graduation became a true emotional moment. I found myself in the audience, trying to hold my tears back. I know truly my parents were so proud of me, and I was proud of myself.
At such a joyous moment, I also felt lonely. Seeing all the graduates and their families made me question my family ties. I don't want to go into it, but I just wish there was more of a personal audience to witness that great once in a lifetime moment. People I cared about so much and who I expected to be there weren't, so I began to question who my true family is. Who knew that your own family can be the most careless people sometimes.
Besides that, I'm here back at home, trying to keep sane. I found working out to be my one true, feisty friend. Home really is a place to reflect and see who would really stay in my life, whether it be friends or family. I'm so glad I'm more closer to Los Angeles because now I can get to network in this great city. We'll see what happens!!

Since I have a lot more time on my hands, I promise I will continue writing, and let me know what you think!!!


You do you, imma do me

Jeff Goldblum

Jeffery Lynn Goldblum is well know for his acting career. He was born on October 22nd 1952 in a Pittsburgh suburb, West Homestead, Pennsylvania. His father Harold L. Goldblum was a medical doctor and his mother Shirley S. née Temeles who was a radio broadcaster who later ran a kitchen equipment and appliances sales firm.
He has a sister Pamela and an older brother, Lee. He had another older brother Rick but he passed away at age 23. Jeff moved to New York City at the age of 17 in hopes of becoming an actor. His parents were always interested in show business. Goldblum worked on the stage and studied acting at the renowned Neighborhood Playhouse under the guidance of acting coach Sanford Meisner. He made his Broadway debut in the Tony Award-winning musical Two Gentlemen of Verona. He is also an accomplished jazz pianist and declared that if he did not act, he would have become a professional musician. He made his film debut as a thug in the 1974 Charles Bronson film Death Wish as Freak #1 and he briefly appeared as a protester in the TV movie Columbo A Case of Immunity (1975).

Later in his career, as "Lacey Party Guest" in Annie Hall(1977), Goldblum is seen saying into the telephone at a Hollywood party, "I forgot my mantra." Goldblum has had leading roles in films such as The Fly(1986), Independence Day, The Lost World(1997), Earth Girls Are Easy, The Tall Guy and Vibes(1988). Goldblum's strong supporting roles include those in Invasion of the Body Snatchers(1978), The Big Chill(1983), Into the Night(1985), Jurassic Park (1993) and he also had strong supporting roles in The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou (2004) and the cult films The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the Eighth Dimension (1984) and Igby Goes Down(2002).
Jeff was the voice for most U.S. Apple commercials for several years, including advertisements for the iMac and iBook.

He also voices some U.S. Toyota commercials as well as Procter & Gamble's facial cream line. He has recently appeared on Irish TV in commercials for the National Lottery. It was announced In September 2006, that Goldblum was one of the founding members of a new theater company in New York called The Fire Dept. According to press materials, "The Fire Dept is made up of established and emerging writers, directors, actors and designers who have come together to create and produce work that cannot be replicated inside a television box or on a movie screen...The work of The Fire Dept combines the rigor and structure of great narrative storytelling with the vitality of formal experimentation to immerse audiences in a total experience that leaves them awake, alive and transformed." The company will devote energy into developing new live theater works as well as interpreting old favorites. Jeff replaced Chris Noth as a Senior Detective on Law & Orders Criminal Intent. In the series, Goldblum plays the role of Detective Zach Nichols. His guest appearance was on Sesame Street in 1990 as Bob's long-lost brother Minneapolis (parody of Indiana Jones) where Big Bird's friend Snuffleupagus had "the golden cabbage of Snuffertiti" hidden in his cave. He has also appeared on Tom Goes to the Mayor, The Colbert Report, and Tim and Eric Awesome Show.
Jeff Goldblum is one of my favorite actors because of his witty comments and intellectual roles. I really liked his roles in Jurassic Park, The Fly, Independence Day and Powder the best.
Here is an video ad for apple slowed down with Jeff Goldblum in it. It's hilarious! He sounds like he is drunk.

Janet Jackson

My favorite song by Janet Jackson "Together Again"

4 minutes 19 seconds
Janet Damita Jo Jackson born May 16th, 1966 in Gary Indiana. Raised in Encino Los Angeles. Janet is well known for her music career and has acted in TV series and a few movies as well.

She first performed on stage with the Jacksons at the age of only 7. Later she was signed for a recording contract at the age of 16 with A&M in 1982, releasing her self-titled debut album the same year. She faced criticism for her limited vocal range, and for being yet another member of the Jackson family to become a recording artist. In my opinion the most talented Jackson in the family. In addition to receiving recognition for the innovation in her albums, choreography, music videos, and prominence on MTV Jackson was acknowledged as a role model for her socially conscious lyrics. I saw her concert back in the year 2000 and she put on a fantastic show.
In 1991, she signed the first of two record-breaking, multi-million dollar recording contracts with Virgin Records, which established her as one of the highest paid artists in the music industry.
Having sold over 100 million records worldwide, Jackson is ranked as one of the best selling artists in the history of contemporary music. The Recording Industry Association of America(RIAA) lists her as the 11th best selling female artist in the United States, with 26 million certified albums. Her longevity, records and achievements reflect her influence in shaping and redefining the scope of popular music. She has been cited as an inspiration among numerous performers.
Believe it or not Janet initially was apprehensive about starting a music career, she agreed to participate in recording sessions with her family. The first of these, a duet with her brother Randy titled "Love Song for Kids", took place in 1978.
Following the release of Dream Street, Jackson decided to separate her business affairs from her family. She later commented, "I just wanted to get out of the house, get out from under my father, which was one of the most difficult things that I had to do, telling him that I didn't want to work with him again."

After releasing her fourth album Rhythm Nation executives at A&M wanted an album similar to Control, she was determined to imbue her music with a socially conscious message that complimented her songs about love and relationships She stated, "I'm not naive—I know an album or a song can't change the world. I just want my music and my dance to catch the audience's attention, and to hold it long enough for them to listen to the lyrics and what we're saying."

Producer Jimmy Jam told The Boston Globe, "We would always have a TV turned on, usually to CNN... And I think the social slant of songs like Rhythm Nation, State of the World and The Knowledge came from that." Rolling Stone magazine's Vince Aletti observed Jackson shifted from "personal freedom to more universal concerns—injustice, illiteracy, crime, drugs—without missing a beat." Peaking at number one on the Billboard 200, the album was later certified six times platinum and eventually sold over fourteen million copies worldwide! The release became the only album in history to produce number one hits on the Billboard Hot 100 in three separate calendar years "Miss You Much" in 1989, "Escapade" and Black Cat" in 1990 and Love Will Never Do (Without You)" in 1991. It's the only album in the history of the Hot 100 to have seven top 5 hit singles.
Janet Jackson was dubbed a reigning "Princess of Pop" by the Chicago Tribune.
Acting in films include Poetic Justice(1993), Nutty Professor II: The Klumps(2000),Why Did I Get Married?(2007), Why Did I Get Married Too? (2010) and For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide When the Rainbow Is Enuf(2011). Her shows include The Jacksons(1976-1977),Good Times(1977-1979),A New Kind of Family(1979-1980),Diff'rent Strokes(1980-1984) and Fame (1984-1985).

And of course how can I forget the classic Super Bowl XXXVIII incident. February 1, 2004 in Houston Texas MTV promised a big surprise during the half time show and sure enough Justin Timberlake exposed Janets boob for all to see. The incident, sometimes referred to as Nipplegate or Tittygate was widely discussed. Along with the rest of the halftime show, it led to an immediate crackdown and widespread debate on perceived indecency in broadcasting and resulted in a record $550,000 fine levied by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) against CBS, as well as an increase of the FCC fine per indecency violation from $27,500 to $325,000. Additionally, some commentators saw the halftime show as a sign of decreasing morality in the national culture in which case I agree. I'm not sure what good fining CBS did. I would have liked to receive some of that cash. What did the FCC do with the money? Cover their eyes?

Clint Eastwood

Clinton Eastwood was born May 31st 1930. He is an actor, director, producer, and a composer.

Clint became the oldest man to reach #1 at the box office, and the longest running movie star in history. I think my favorite film he made and acted in is Unforgiven.
Clint was a nonpartisan mayor of Carmel-by-the-Sea,California from 1986–1988, tending to support small business interests on the one hand and environmental protection as well.
Clint Eastwood was born in San Fransisco, California to Clinton Eastwood (1906–1970), a steelworker and migrant worker, and Margaret Ruth (née Runner; 1909–2006), a factory worker. He was a large baby (11 pounds and 6 ounces; 5.62 kg) and was named "Samson" by the nurses in the hospital. Eastwood is of English, Scottish,Dutch and Irish ancestry, and was raised in a middle class Protestant home. His family relocated often, as his father worked at different jobs along the West Coast, including at a pulp mill. The family settled in , California, where Eastwood attended Piedmont Junior and Senior High School. Later he transferred to Oakland Technical High School, where the drama teachers encouraged him to enroll in school plays, but he was not interested. He held a series of jobs as his family moved to different areas, including paper carrier, grocery clerk, forest firefighter, and golf caddy.After graduating from high school in 1949, Eastwood intended to enter Seattle University and majored in music theory. However, in 1950 he was drafted into the U.S Army during the Korean War. He was stationed at Fort Ord where his certificate as a lifeguard got him appointed as a life-saving and swimming instructor.

He safeguarded film and television actors who had joined the Army through the Special Services program, including John Saxon, David Janssen and Martin Milner. In 1951, while on leave, Eastwood rode in a Douglas AD bomber that ran out of gas and crashed in the ocean near Point Reyes. After escaping from the sinking fuselage, he and the pilot swam three miles to the shore.
He later moved to Los Angeles and began a romance with Maggie Johnson, a college student. During this time he managed an apartment house in Beverly Hills by day (into which he moved) and worked at a Signal Oil gas station by night. He enrolled at Los Angeles and soon after became engaged to Maggie. They were married shortly before Christmas in 1953 in South Pasadena and honeymooned in Carmel.

Eastwood, a life-long non-smoker, has been conscious of his health and fitness since he was a teenager, and has kept in excellent physical shape and practiced healthy eating ever since. As he made a name for himself during the production of Rawhide, Eastwood would frequently feature in magazines and journals, which often documented his healthy lifestyle. In the August 1959 edition of TV Guide, for example, Eastwood was photographed doing push-ups and gave tips on fitness and nutrition, telling people to eat plenty of fruit, raw vegetables and vitamins and to avoid sugar-loaded beverages and excess alcohol drinking and overloading on carbohydrates.
