My Life: No matter your rank, status, title, or skill leveling and developing oneself is a lifelong journey. Only true Martial Artists understand this, and it has nothing to do with a belt. I'm a CUNY student currently attending BMCC (Computer Science) and QCC (Computer Engineering) as an exercise in studying skills building, self-discipline training, and subject/course skills building for going back to a four-year college and then on to graduate school. I am a dedicated information technology professional with over 20+ years of experience in systems, network administration, and desktop support. Who possesses an enthusiasm for work, a strong desire to succeed, and a commitment to continuous skill development that helps build confidence and a high level of motivation to achieve desired results with a love of computers.

I made my first computer at age 13, and in High School, my unique skills in high school were computers and general sciences; before that, between the ages of 6 to 12, my father would send me to after-school programs to learn how to use a computer, and I know my first programming language BASIC. I aim to finish my Applied Associate of Science in Computer Science and update my I.T. Professional Certifications. Another Life: As an Artist in High School, I took art class once a week and Black & White Photography. I draw a lot to pass the time, Spider-man and Iron-Man stuff from my comics. A long time ago, at one, I did want to be a comic book artist (I tried to be many things growing up, lol.). I was in the Cooper Union Saturday Program for high school students, and when I was at Hunter College, I took some art courses ( I almost completed enough classes to graduate with a BFA but changed majors; O didn’t do that a lot, my first time in college).

I try to take weekend classes at the Art Students League in New York.

So, what killed the dream...the first time through? Please, read "The Adventures of ~Blackjack-Davie & ~colucas"...lol! Ok, ~Blackjack-Davie got an interview with Marvel Comics; they gave him a project to draw in the Marvel style with Marvel characters on a panel. Theme "Find some to beat Galactus." ~Blackjack-Davie comes back to my house and asks who could be Galactus; my answer at the time was Unicron. I wrote, and short story, and ~Blackjack-Davie drew it. Well, he didn't get the job, they told him it looked like Manga (Mind you, I have the prints still, and it was in Marvel, just not the style Marvel was using a the time), and Marvel didn't do Manga. A month later, Marvel launched "Marvel Manga!" Any Question? My Life in Anime Form: J.C. finally did it. He got me back into artwork and drawing; it’s been a long time. I don't think I am talented at all. J.C. wanted me to join him on this journey to start his own multimedia company by first selling comics. I agree, and I thought it might be fun. I enjoy writing. He to begin finishing my poetry, then draw some sketches to go with the poems…then write more stories; more and more, I got back into drawing and painting; then this weekend, I found out the real reason he asked me to join him: ”I am Kazuki Sendō from Comic Party;” This story has been the last 4 to 5 years. My life was turned into a Japanese Dating SIM. I have never seen the series before this weekend, and the parallels to actual events in our lives and the people we have met are striking and scary.

So I have accepted my fate; I will start practicing again; I set up some time management to work on my artwork and still go to work and my classes. (I will get back to turning my life into a living Japanese Anime, but it has been fun.) My life in Martial Arts I began martial arts as soon as I could walk, starting with my first instructor, my father, at age two and training off and in various martial arts, Karate, Judo, and Jeet Kune Do. I began training in the Bujinkan Dojo in the summer of 1992 at New York Budo under Jean-Pierre Seibel, Shidoshi. I have taught in Bujinkan Dojo's Budo & Ninpo Taijutsu for 20+ years. Charles also studies beginning student in Aikido and Iaido. Conclusion My life has been much better for it. I just had to fit in with JC's image of how he wants to live it. Shit!!! (I'm not a Good Artist, I'm just a crazy Anime Toon!)
