Posting to Post

Its been quite sometime since I've had a chance to write up a post, so here goes a quick little blurb, though I know little to no one reads these... it just felt about right to randomly have my thoughts out there. This last month has bee pretty busy with work and family. I'm free of the retail environment and now have a day to devote on working on creative projects, and doing things that I need to be doing - like spending time with the people I care about. Tragedy has struck around me yet again, and though you might not know that person very well, seeing your friends enduring that pain hurts too. Empathy is something that I had learned the meaning of, but hadn't really began to truly understand until this year. I've learned to really live in the moment, enjoy life, not to worry, and tell the people you love - that you love them. I know this post is a best, all over the place - but it's nice to put things like that out there. On the lighter side of life, I'm really looking forward to push hard towards my goals, both new and old, all the while making lasting impressions and some good friends.

Free Time

Feeling good! I have recently made a few decisions to free up my weekend schedule. And by that I mean, actually having some days off for once. It didn't take much convincing to land on it being a good idea to free up my Sundays. Its definitely more important to have that extra day to spend with family and friends, and not miss out on the moments that define us. Not to mention that that, I also plan to devote some of that reclaimed time to advancing my career and achieving personal goals. All and all, it felt like this has been a long time coming and the appropriate next step in my life. There are definitely many more things that are important than being a workaholic, there's already plenty of time to do that. Again, I can't be grateful enough to my friends and family for giving me all the support I could ask for - in every decision I make. I look forward to posting about my new endeavors in the near future.

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.

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,

"Keep moving Forward." - Walt Disney
