A little about BK

Like everyone, sometimes I sit and think about my life so far. As I think back the things that I remember the most is my failures and missed opportunities. For example, I never really applied myself in school and had the GPA to reflect it. I just was lazy and didn't want to be there. I figured I had better things to do with my time than school. Today, I emphasize the importance of school to my children and use me as an example of why they need to go and pay attention. There was a time I went to a modeling agency because people told me I was a good enough looking guy that I could be a model. I went to the agency to prove those people wrong. I met with who I thought at the time was just some lowly employee of the agency and was asked if I had a portfolio. I said I did not. They asked if I had any pictures of me and I said no. She asked me why exactly I was there and I explained what people had said to me and that I was there to prove them wrong. She looked at me and told me that I couldn't prove them wrong. She said If I returned the next day, they would take pictures of me so I could have a portfolio and then take me and a few others up to Los Angeles and do some Coke and Pepsi commercials. That lady wasn't some lowly employee, she was the owner of the place. I never went back. I sometimes wonder where I would be today if I had. Later I was taking a video production class at the High School I was attending as well as an ROP course at San Diego High School. The ROP course was the studio side of video production while the class I took at my regular school was all field work. I did very well in both classes. At the end of the ROP class, my instructor introduced me to a lady from Cox Cable. She told me that she had heard a lot of good things about me in the class I took and offered me a job as a camera man at Cox Cable or their production team or whatever it was. Again, I never called her back. Again, I often wonder where I would be today if I had called back. I have had two failed Marriages over the years and now I am on my third and last. Recently, I wrote a book and have tried to talk to anyone who would listen about my book. In the two years since its publication I have sold a whopping 4 copies. Disappointing to say the least. Many more thing have happened to me that were either missed opportunities or downright failures. I am not bitter by any means. I made my decisions and have to live with them. The point of all of this is, I never give up. I have some radio shows that I do and quite honesty, they don't have very good listenership but, that's alright. I still do them and have helped others get their shows up and running. I can't dwell on the thing of the past because if I had taken advantage of any one of those opportunities, I wouldn't have the family I have today and I wouldn't be the person I am either. I simply don't sweat it because I believe that their was some reason I made the decisions I made and failed at the things I failed at. Thank you for taking time to read this................BK
