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!
Until I leave Florida for good!
I cannot wait! Although I hate the cold and it might take a long while before I get used it again (not that I ever was…brrr), but I can’t wait! I have it planned to stay there for a few more months, figured it would be the smarter route to take for the time being. I know for a fact it won’t play out like it did here in FL where we said we would leave and ended up here for 6 years, MA isn’t all that great…lol.
I’ve also been looking over LA (Los Angeles) for a while as well. At first, I thought it might have been a better choice, but in NY I got some family and its only about 1:45 – 2:00 hours from my hometown in MA. So, I would be closer to family…just for a little bit. Probably get my feet wet in NY and then take it to the big-time in LA. How’s that sound?
Well it’s late and I’m tired…so goodnight world!

…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…
- 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.
- 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!
- 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.
- 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.
- 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!
