Long Time, No Write…
6th April 2006
Hey all – I know it’s been a while since most of you have heard from me in the “outside world” (i.e. not in Cyberspace), and although I wish I had maintained contact a little better, I can definitely say that my months of self-imposed isolation have paid off – tremendously 
)
As some of you know, I left Accenture just over a year ago and immediately started working independently & applying to Business School. It hasn’t been easy making time for clients, GMAT exams, fellowship applications, and keeping in touch, but last month, I got the best news an aspiring student can hope for…
I just earned a full-tuition fellowship for the University of Southern California (USC) in Los Angeles !!!!
I’m as happy to share this news as I was to hear it. With that, it looks like my days are numbered in the Big Apple as the fall semester approaches, so I’m on a self-appointed mission to re-connect with any and everybody in the months to come.
Also, since I’m not that familiar with L.A., I’d appreciate any advice, contacts, or free apartments you can throw my way (especially that last one). Seriously, since I have to find a new apartment, move my things, and buy a car before the end of July, I could also use a few extra pennies.
It turns out that New York is a hard place to save money (who knew?), so one thing you can do to help that is *completely free* is to CLICK ANY OF THE ADS YOU SEE ON THIS PAGE - ONCE A DAY, EVERY DAY That simple gesture will ensure that I get one step closer to making this huge transition a reality. In exchange, I’ll be sure to fill this blog with updates and interesting content on a regular basis.
Also, if you find it in the kindness of your heart to drop a dollar in the “collection plate,” just click the “Make a Donation” link above. Finally, I’m always eager to work for a living (even though I’m still committed other clients part-time), so if you know any freelance / short term technology gigs on the East Coast (ideally in a Media, Entertainment, or Financial firm), please let me know (or download my resume from the “About” section and pass it along).
Above all, though, I look forward to re-entering the “world of the living,” training Capoeira again, traveling, writing, and — most importantly — keeping in touch.
Hotep, Axé, & Peace

hey curtis. man it’s been forever. good thing nez still keeps in touch with you. congratulations on the scholarship to USC! good luck in buisness school as well. I plan on going to UCLA for law in Intellectual Property within the next 3-5 years. first, i want to buy a condo up here, so i can rent it out and use it as a second source of income for when i return to school. maybe the next time I’m in L.A. to see my boy Kimya or Eugene or even Natashia, I’ll see if i can swing by. Oh, I’m in San Francisco, btw. Look me up in the Accenture portal, if you like. peace and be well.
