How old are you and do you have any licenses?

I'm no spelling or grammar champion. However, the whole poor-spelling, Buddhist, free-spirit, free-runner, skateboarder persona is probably enough to keep you out of any higher level positions in this industry. Add a couple of spots on you legal record and your'e farked...

If you wan't to make it in this industry I would suggest you take a more conventional approach to overcoming your obstacles instead of practicing Parkour. Try running for an emotional outlet it works great.

...Oh and if your'e really ****ed at life, try lifting weights while listening to Carl Orff - O Fortuna at a very loud volume level.
