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!
Two blogs ago I said I was planning to move away from Florida and start a new life in the Big Apple…well plans have changed since then (I know it wasn’t that long…) and well I feel I should take this one small step at a time. Also I have a few little naggers around me that keep telling me it’s a bad idea and how I should think things through and blah blah blah…so I’m half listening to them and also listening to what I think is best and in the end, it seems the best is to just stay here for a bit longer.
It saddens me deeply, but if it will help out in the long run…what’s another one or two years? Yikes!
Ah, well at least with this time frame I can save up more money, shoot a few films I have in mind and also stay with my friends for a bit longer. (They were starting to attack me!)
All in all, I’m OK with it and hey, they always say that good things come to people who wait, so here I am waiting!
