Kung Fool Master™ LAID OFF!

My name is Christian… and I've been LAID OFF.

You might know me better by my stage name, Kung Fool Master™. I’m an aspiring artist, writer, and all-around visionary. One of my biggest ambitions in life right now is videography. Capturing moments of true creativity is something that’s fascinated me since I was child.



Unfortunately, as with all of us, “life” kinda got in the way and I pushed writing and drawing to the side. Instead, I got sucked into the world of technology.

Don’t get me wrong, I love technology—I worked for several great software companies and ultimately became a well respected Quality Assurance Analyst. However, while my head’s there, my heart’s just not in it.

Which leads me here!

BREAKING NEWS: Kung Fool Master™ LAID OFF!


Funny, right? I sure hope so, at least a chuckle, otherwise I’m just gonna put the pen, paper, and camera down right here.
…
…
Just kidding! :D

Anyways, back to it…

Videography and writing are my biggest ambitions in life right now.

I live for the moment and love to capture every detail I possible can. Not just with my camera but also with my mind. I like to analyze it. I like to understand it. I like to understand why something is what it is, not just accept it for being. There’s something about it, the moment, the now that attracts me, that compels me, that consumes me!

I’m not talking about the moments you see on social media, such as facebook or instagram. I’m talking about the moments you don’t see.

Moments where you’re not all caught up in whatever nonsense is going on in the world.
Moments where you’re actually spending time with friends and family.
Moments where instead of just being there you’re actually making real genuine memories.
Moments where you’re not saying “Yes” to everyone and everything and instead actually making time for yourself to relax, learn, or create.
Moments where we remind ourselves to be human again!

(Sorry for taking you on a slight detour there… I just needed to get that out. However, perhaps this all stems from the fact that I already understand how precious time really is, something all of us take for granted all too often)

Anywho…


Now, to some of you, this whole layoff thing comes as a surprise, and to others not so much. Either way, please know that everything is okay… at least for the time being.

There are a couple of kinks that I have to deal with now though.
One, I no longer have health insurance, and that’s something I particularly need—don’t want that pesky cancer coming back.
Two, I no longer have a steady paycheck. That part kinda sucks. It really sucks actually.



Nonetheless! I’ve accepted the circumstances and am eager to move forward! :D 

I want to turn this moment into an opportunity, an opportunity to pursue my passions, my dreams, what I’ve really been longing for. And hopefully, while doing so, I can put a smile on all of your faces! :)



Understand that I’m an ambitious individual with all kinds of ideas in my head, too many of them in fact. Still, I’m going to do my damnedest to see it through to the end with all of them! And while they may not all make sense to you right now, there is a bigger picture… there always is ;)

So, without further adieu, let's get into the meat of the matter…

Again, at a high level, my biggest ambitions in life right now include both videography and writing. I actually have a few things out there already, such as…

When Dr. Dre finds RingDings

Tyde (Face Down, Ass Up!)

This one made headlines on Reddit  where I was crowned “The Delusional Artist”.
I must say, I was quite flattered ;)
Don’t believe me? Read the discussion for yourself! https://redd.it/49qtun  :D

But, what I’ve really been wanting to do… is MAKE A MOVIE—and perhaps even produce my own music album.


If you know anything about me, the arts, especially music, runs through my blood and I'm ready to embrace what the rest of my family has been doing for decades.

I tell you all of this to ask for one thing, to ask for your support. I understand that it’s not gonna be easy, but I’m more than willing to put in the time and the effort that’s needed. For those of you who do truly know me, know that much to be a fact.

So, in a day and age where our entire world is engulfed by social media, I need you to SHARE, TWEET, GOSSIP, and BREATHE ANYTHING OF MINE you possibly can as much as you can! FOLLOW, SUBSCRIBE, WATCH, and REWATCH anything of mine specifically on YOUTUBE and Instagram. I’m still gonna continue sharing through facebook, but from there please follow any links to YOUTUBE and Instagram that you can. Tune into anything of mine that you can actually, and provide feedback where possible. Any support is much appreciated.

And if you’re already familiar with my work, refamiliarize yourself with it.
It couldn’t hurt ;)

Now, before I close, there is actually one more thing, the whole reason why you’re still here reading this long and laborious cry for help.
…
…

Funding.

Aside from needing all of the support I can get, this is where you can help out even more!

[insert hands-to-the-roof emoticon here!]

Believe me, I don’t want to, but I have to ask. I’m not asking for a lot, rather just a little from each of you. Anything will help. Anything you can do will definitely go a long way and I’ll certainly be more than appreciative.

Below you’ll find a list of some of the estimated expenses I’ve outlined. As with any new project, I don’t know all of what I’ll need just yet, but I’ve tried my best to fill you in on the essentials.

- Cameras & Equipment … $3000
- Computer Hardware & Software … $2000
- Website Fees & Maintenance … $500
- Legal Fees, Professional Consultations, & Staffing … $3000
- Travel, Supplies, & Other Miscellaneous Expenses … $2000
- Charm … Priceless ;)

(If you have any suggestions on the expenses, please do tell… I would love to hear them :) )

Now, I know, especially after watching my Breaking News  segment, that I’ve taken a rather relaxed approach throughout most of this. But, being a person that doesn’t typically ask for anything, please know that this is actually quite hard for me to do.

However, the fact of the matter is this… the layoff and the cancer are both real. And just as real as those are, so are my dreams and aspirations, what I really want to do, how I really want to live my life, how I really want to make an impact and a difference.

The only way I can make any of this happen though is with your support. It is you who will ultimately allow my dreams to comes true. And, amidst all of this—the money, the cancer, the layoff—the most important thing I’m asking for is time. That’s what you’re ultimately paying for.

Just like my videos, despite how entertaining, ridiculous, or heartfelt they may be, it still took time—time where I don’t have any sort of an income but still enjoyed making them all the same. In time, I can create, assess, and create some more.

So, with all that said, I ask you… do I have your support?

Thank you, and from the Kung Fool Master™ himself… HOO-YAH!

P.S. One more thing you can even do (I swear this is it) is to reach out to Ellen Degeneres on her website ( http://www.ellentv.com/be-on-the-show/433/ ) and give her some incentive to have me on the show... I'm sure that would certainly help my cause!

I actually wrote to her myself...


I hope I'm not asking for too much, but this too would be much appreciated. And not just Ellen... if you know how to get in contact with any of the other popular TV shows, such as Jimmy Fallon, that would be great too!

Thanks again! ;)
