…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!

Ahh…good times I say! XD

So, at first I was a little weary on upgraded my poorly out-of-date WordPress version since one, I had said I was going to scrap it, and two, because I didn’t want anything bad happening in the end. I’ve been through many forums and post where someone always has a problem with upgrading. Yea, I was little scared, but I got over it, downloaded WordPress Automatic Upgrade Plugin and watched it do it’s work. Pretty impressive if you ask me.

Now my big thoughts on WP 2.5…WOW! The dashboard is so much better then the last version’s. Very clean and simple, yet pleasing to the eye. I haven’t really gone through it all yet to see what new features I can find, but so far from what I’ve noticed on improved things, very well done! I just might stick with WP for a while longer. Hee XD

Now onto unrelated WP topics! I have a lot of ideas for future websites, that some just keep popping out of nowhere and others have been stuck in my brain for a few years now and I feel that I can finally make come true. One of them being my online shop. I already have the perfect name for it, at first I was going to use this domain (urbanroxy.com) but then decided that I should just keep as my personal blog domain, since it does reflect me a lot. Anywho, so I checked for the name I thought of and it’s very much available in the .com, .net, and .org. For now, I’m thinking of just buying the .com and .org, if by chance there is a special for all there (which sometimes there is) I will go for all three.

Another excitement of mine, if the polishing (since I’ve been working on it for forever now) of my own hosting website. Its not going to be anything big, but mostly geared towards hosting personal, fan, portfolio, websites and along that path. Nevertheless I have been putting sometime into it these past few weekends and hope to open it soon to the public!

Last but not least, I’m also currently thinking of purchasing my own server! While the current shared server that I am hosted on has been EXTREMELY good to me these past couple of years, I don’t want accidentally cause trouble to my great neighbors with all of my up and coming website ideas. Trust me I have more ideas then the ones mentioned above that have to do with a full blown out film/video portfolio and I know for a fact that can be a little crazy on a shared environment. I’ll keep ya posted on those updates. =D
