Time sure flew by this year. Wasn’t it just Christmas like two months ago? Haha

I’m excited and at the same time not. While I know I won’t be getting the roughly $2,000 camera I want (this is the sad part), I do know that I will be spending the holidays with my family all together once again! (that’s the great part) It has been a good 6 years since we last spent any type of holiday or birthday together, and usually we always spent it together in one house or the other. So for this to happen again, but ALL of us together, is a very special gift to me and my mother.

Yes, that’s right folks, I’m currently sitting in one of my sister’s house’s rooms in Massachusetts. Freezing my butt of, but here nevertheless, safe and sound.

The trip up here was disasterrific (not a total made up word: ffx2). It was about 20-21 hours from Florida and I had to take my cat on the drive up. Yes, during the lovely trip up there, my lovely little kitty witty decided to poop AND pee inside his carriage. Now, before you think anything, I just want you to know that I DID take him out a few times and not ONCE did he go poop or pee. I know he isn’t a dog, but this was the best I could do. I had the brief idea of buying a little box and putting cat litter in it, but there was NO ROOM in the car to even be remotely comfortable, so I was left without many choices.

Anyway, so he pooped and peed and we nearly died from the smell. To make matters worse we were stuck in an EXTREMELY heavy traffic jam in Virgina, where it was already cold to the bone. So it was either freeze are butts off with the windows open or die in the car from the fumes. In the end, because of the traffic, we had to stop on the side of highway. There goes another disaster…

I ask my sister, who is now mad about the whole thing, to come help me, because I can’t take out the cat, clean him and clean the cage as well. So she comes over, in her high spirits (sarcasm) and nearly squishes my cat to death, because he fell out of her arms. Then she attempts to pick him up and he bites her (if it wasn’t for the situation, I’d be cheering him on), she then yells and almost drops him again and then picks him up by his tail. I’m just standing there in pure horror, that’s when I’m like “OMG, give me” and I kid you not, he came rushing into my arms like there was no tomorrow. Mind you as well, this all happened within seconds of taking him out, I wasn’t just standing there for like 5 minutes watching as my cat could have been road kill and thinking, “gee, what happens next”.

My cousin who was also with us, quickly jumped out of the car and helped clean the cage as I cleaned my cat. It wasn’t the best of cleans, since all we had were water bottles, so about 10-20 minutes later, we stopped at a gas station, where I practically begged the clerk, if I could wash my cat real quick in the bathroom. After about a minute or so, he gave in and told me to not make a mess. So, I bought some cleaning products for the cage (pet friendly) and used the hand soap in the bathroom to clean my cat. After that we went on our merrily way back onto the highway and towards our destination.

Ok so, that was pretty much the worst that happened during the trip, but you can’t deny, it did sound pretty epic right?

Anyway, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year everyone. I’ll probably be back in the blogging swing of things in 2010!

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!
