Wow it’s been almost 4 months since the last time I posted a blog. A lot has happened in that span of time that would take me a while to write up, so I’m going to put it short and sweetly here.

Well for starters I’m typing this out on my new iPad, that I’m totally in love with, with the word press app I just downloaded. Super easy to use and I have a lot of ideas to utilize this little invention. For one thing, I finally bought one of the many cameras I’ve been dying to have, that being the Nikon D90. So I’m really getting into the photography world and actually have a few
Photo shoots lined up, including a wedding! I think with the iPad it would very useful and sleek looking to show potential clients my work through here quickly, rather then your everyday laptop. I have the same idea for my web design clients too.

In life related news I was hired as a graphic designer for a nursing clothing line called Motherwear. I really love it and it’s a refreshing change from all of my past web design related jobs. There I create their seasonal catalog, edit their garment images for both print and web, help with marketing, and in a few weeks, will be assisting with the photo shoot for the summer line. It’s a very fun job indeed!

Well, I would write more but I’m being beckoned, so this is what I will leave you with until next time. Have a Happy Easter everyone!

So, I was supposed to be happily back in the North, possibly shivering like crazy, but I’m not. That’s right, I’m still in Florida. Now, now, before you start saying what the crap Roxy, I just want you to know there is a valid reason (of course) and I won’t go into detail too much right now. All I will let you know is that I am INDEED leaving at some point between now and the beginning of December. Not getting into heavy detail, only because I’ve noticed when I say or write something down, it doesn’t happen. No lie. So, that’s that!

I’ve been pretty busy this past month to be honest, packing and throwing away things have taken a major part of my time, but I’ve also been designing and coding like crazy. Yea, where are the fruits of that labor for this poor site, huh? Ah well, at some point I’ll redesign this site with my own design, but just not right now.

Like I mentioned a few posts back, I’m creating a multimedia company. That’s basically what I have been working on this whole time. I wanted to build my portfolio and have been taking a few clients here and there. So far, I have a really good thing going on with it and am actually happy that it’s all going in the right direction. If you’re wondering, the website is RoxehMedia.com, but it’s of course under construction. I’m looking to have the grand opening around the middle or end of January 2010, so wish me luck.

Another website taking up some of my time has been Twitter believe it or not. Micro-blogging is so much easier! If you guys have a Twitter account, be sure to follow me. I’ll follow back! =)

Well, its back to designing and coding for me. Thanks for all the comments and good luck wishes, very much appreciated! I’ll be sure to comment back as soon as I can.

…I want to get a few things setup before I do my big move to New York. It’s official guys, I’m moving to NYC before the year is up. First, I’ll be stopping in my home-state of Massachusetts, to make sure that my mother gets settled in and that my family is doing well. (gotta visit my four darling nephews and niece) Then from there, I should hopefully have a place to call home in NYC and a school I will be starting in the Spring. I’m super excited, but like I said, I want to get a few things started before I leave in a month. Below is a list I needed to write out for it…

  1. Update my portfolio: Yep, I definitely need to finish this, I’ve been putting it on hold for far too long and I know that when I move, I will need it more then ever and I just can’t have it looking a hot mess as it does now.
  2. Come up with a set structure for my new productions company: I already have the name(s) and domains. I just want to create a set logo and foundation for my company before getting too heavy into legal issues and what not. I’m always coming up with new plans for it and I just need to sit down and put what comes first, first!
  3. Start music project: I have this music project that I’ve talked over with two close friends that I would like to get going here in Orlando before I go. I feel like it would be very beneficial to musicians locally in the Central Florida area. If things go as planned, I’m thinking of expanding it nation-wide, of course I’m getting ahead of myself here, but sometimes you gotta look at it in the long run.
  4. Keep up with contacts here: Oddly enough, I’ve been bumping into a lot of people here who have the same passion or are already in the film making business that I know in the future would be a wonderful contact to have. Its a shame that I had to meet them a month before I was going to leave! Ah well, that’s what Facebook and Twitter are good for. ;)
  5. Lastly, new design for Urbanroxy.com: God knows I have been trying to get this done for quite some time now and one day I will accomplish this one simple goal…I just don’t know when exactly. ٩(×̯×)۶

I know with a level headed mind and some good ole patience, I can and will do it!

Oh, before I forget…I’ve been addicted to this free gaming site I found on an online buddy’s website. Its called OMGPOP! and is hella fun! Not only are the games free (and free to sign up), but you get to play with people from all over the world. It makes playing the games that much better! Check it out today!
