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!

Yup, it’s true…I bought a cute little Sony Handycam and am totally obsessed with it! Since Circuit City is going out of business, I decided to take advantage of some of the price knock offs and went ahead and bought a video camera. Nothing too special, but something to start off my film-making career/dream!

The real camera I want is much too expensive at the moment and I’m OK with that, I know I’ll get it in the future. For now, I’m extremely happy with what I got and take my camera everywhere with me, you never know when inspiration might hit and lately it’s been hitting a lot…haha. (wish I could say the same for my website)

I’ve been viewing the amazing video website Vimeo.com and checking out some amazing videos! I can’t wait to finally add some of my amateur work and get critiqued on it. Hey, criticism is a MUST when starting out, how else will you learn what to and NOT to do?

Anyways, I have big plans for this little camera and I already have given myself two projects to work on for the year, aside from trying to move out. I’m just really excited that things seem to really be looking up for me. =)

I usually don’t do this, post videos that is, but I found this one to be very interesting and I do have a liking to urban street art or what we all know so well…graffiti. Only this one has a twist!

Very cool if you ask me. =)
