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…

  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!

That’s right! I’m currently sitting in a large computer room, in a beautiful house, just atop a hill in Puerto Rico. For those of you who don’t know (which may be many) I’v been “vacationing” here in PR since the 15th. One of the main reasons I came here was to visit and meet family I had never before seen or knew of. The other reason being because my mother and her friends were going to have a big ole meet up here to talk about past times and hang out (oh joy). So far, my trip has been quite pleasant, and if I could, I would stay forever!

I’ve pretty much been throughout the whole island, visiting family and friends here and there and staying at more houses then I count (ok not literally). While fun and adventerous, it gets a little tiresome, so I’m glad I could be able to sit here and write this out.

I’ve taken quite a few video shots, since I wasn’t able to bring my camera (the battery died and I didn’t have time to get a new one) so I have my trusty video camera. Maybe later I’ll upload the clips to YouTube or something and post them up for all to see my horrible shaky-hand (while in the car and walking) shots of this wonderful island. Haha, I’m sure you’ll love it.

Well, I just wanted to let the loyal few know I wasn’t dead in some ditch (God forbid!) and also blog a little about what I was doing on my “vacation”. I’m sure I have a lot of catching up to do when I get back to the states. So I await those new blog posts! Ciao!
