iFred

Welcome to iFred (because its cool to put 'i' in front of everything).

My name is Freddy. I am a recent PR graduate from Rowan University in Glassboro, NJ, a Philadelphia suburb. I originally hail from West New York, NJ - a tiny town whose population is 98 percent hispanic, wannabe gang bangers in over-sized white t-shirts run the streets while gym teachers and Cubans run politics, and you can find a store on the main strip, Bergenline, that sells cell phones, hello kitty stickers, sneakers and blow dryers. It's quaint. Perhaps its most defining feature is the majestic view of Manhattan from across the river, or Sal Vega's politics that have been recently featured on ABC. http://abclocal.go.com/wabc/video?id=6666355&syndicate=syndicate. My perfect shade of paradise.

What is iFred?

iFred is the "premiere blog in regards to PR news, cultural trends, entertainment and education" as quoted by someone credible, hopefully in the near future. I blog, I voice, I speak about what interests me. It could be about the new climate bill legislation that has been recently passed which serves as a historical and cultural bookmark in which this green fad transcends joining a fashion trend, or it can be about my picks for America's Best Dance Crew. I like to think of myself as an agile thinker. Let's run with that. Most importantly, it's my personality. iFred is an outspoken extension of who I am.

Why this blog - iFred?

iFred is my catalyst for personal growth and change through the world around me. It has its roots in self-motivated career advancements. Let's not lie. Through iFred, Twitter and Facebook I hope to fulfill one of if not all of my aspirations. These dreams include becoming a PR professional, becoming a hip-hop dancer, going to graduate school, becoming the dean of students at an institution, opening a barber shop and opening a dance studio - agile thinker.

But in these selfindulged notions comes a strong voice that is aimed at challenging and encouraging thought. Ultimately, if I remain jobless, still live with my mom and still blog from my bedroom but have created some sort of awareness and provoked an intelligent reaction within my readers, then my success is engrained in what my readers do with that thought through their social networking, the present and future of media consumption.
