Business Cards

Front

Back
New business cards have been printed, after a few different renditions and color choices. Still looking to fix and or change the banner on the start page of the site, as soon as I can get some time to do that. Like always let me know what you think. Obviously this images are the web versions and do not have my phone number listed, as per damn phone spammers.
New Letterhead
Just a quick post, here's my new letterhead. Let me know what you think, join and leave a comment, call, or text me - input is always welcome.
Apple Certified Pro
After some rigorous cramming I passed the Final Cut Pro 7 Level One certification exam. I'm hoping this will expand my resume and land me more 'gigs.' Pass the word onto all your friends, family, and colleagues in need of some post work, cause it's official - I'm now certified (on top of the BA in Cinema and Television Arts in the Film Production Option with an Emphasis on Post). Avid and FCP aren't too different, just terms - price, power. All the same idea - its what the editor/artist do that really makes the difference.
Under the Weather
I'm definitely not feeling too hot right now, of course staying up late and pulling an all night-er to get some side projects done probably didn't help. I thought it might have just been allergies, but I'm beginning to think that I might actually be sick for once. I don't feel too incredibly bad, so maybe its just a cold - I like to think that my body is fighting it and thats why it doesn't feel like full blow sickness. I don't think I have a temperature, but I'm too lazy to search for the thermometer. I was hoping to get a few things done today, but it looks like I'll be trying to take it easy. This "vacation/hiatus" or whatever you want to call it has flown by pretty fast. I still haven't gone surfing, and with the sickness - probably won't this week. I was hoping to get so much done, but it feels like my days are packed with so many activities - between studying, photo editing, maintaining the site, maintaining sanity, and taking care of my doggy - there just isn't much time in a day. But all else is well and I'll just,

Signs of Life
It has been quite some time since I've posted, on either the site news or the blog. Today is my last day of work on Season 16 of what we call TAR. While working two jobs has been great for income, its been horrible in terms of mental health and wellness. That being said, after today I will have a much needed month off of work. Now before anyone jumps to any conclusions about my work ethics - just know that I've been working 6 and 7 day work weeks for the past few years. This isn't some sort of mental break down or anything in the like, I'll still be working my 'oh so fun' retail job on Sundays once a week, and when I do return to next season of TAR I will be working a full 7 days a week for probably about a month and a half. After that month and a half I'll slow my schedule back down to that meager 6 days a week work schedule. Well that's enough ranting for now, I have a lot of hope for my time off among the things to conquer is; preparing for the FCP exam, increased training/exercise, hopefully some surfing, and a multitude of other things. It is my hope that after this month I can get a fire lit under my "@$$" to try to supercharge my career goals. I've been lucky thus far... stay positive, stay happy, be strong...
