400th post and going strong!!!

Written by Jesus Figueroa

After writing the 300th post I was going to skip the 400th and just wait until a big milestone occurred and write a post then. This thank you will go out to everyone who helped me double my hits for the second month-in-a-row. Thank you for all the visits to my site, thank you to all who contribute, thank you to all who support my efforts to be a writer and thank you to all who put up with me at my best and at my worst.

Thank you to Mike "The Movie Guy" who saw something in me and gave me the opportunity to write for, cover events, do videos, and somewhat podcast for iwatchmike.com. The feedback he gives is honest and constructive, it has pushed me out of my shell and given me courage to keep going forward. Thank you for pushing me to actually get this sit up and running, sharing contacts and just having my back through this last year. Your work ethic inspires me.

Thank you to the amazing Loren Medina and Rocio Gutierrez for all the information, events and promotions they share. They are wonderful to work with and a pleasure to talk to. Thank you for supporting everything and allowing me an opportunity to interview some of the most incredible people, including Las Cafeteras and Maria Del Pilar. Thank you for being the amazing people that you are and I hope to keep working with both of you.

Thank you to the amazing Jenny "Fly" Trevino for just being incredible at what you do. Thank you for every opportunity you have offered me to grow in this field. Thank you for always keeping me in mind when events happen. You are always a pleasure to work with and talk to. Thanks for sticking up for me on "Pierce's Playground" with Mike.

Thank you to Veronica Buenrostro and her crew at Think Latino! for being one of the first to have me consistently attending events and screening. I am extremely grateful for the continued amount of support you all show. I cannot begin to express my gratitude and I hope that I get more chances to wok with you and continue to grow our partnership.

Thank you to my significant other Laura Dickenson, artist for Anima É Cuore Studios, for putting up with all my insanity. For sticking by my side through the long and hard hours which what I do takes. Thank you for always grounding me when I need it and for not allowing me to just give up. I cannot ask for a better partner to have by my side through it all. I'm sorry for anytime I have had to reschedule with you and I'm sorry for not always spending all my time with you although you deserve it. You are my inspiration, you are my muse, you are my partner, my equal and my LOVE. So thank you and I hope to spend much more time with you in the coming years.

Last, but not least, THANK YOU to everyone who reads what I post. I try and keep a quality to my work and knowing that there are so many of you who actually read it fills me with joy. I will always try and reply to every comment, here and on Facebook, I will interact as mud as I can with anyone who wants to and I will continue to give my full and honest review/point-of-view on everything I post.

THANK YOU ALL
