Next Stop Miami!

Could my life get any more interesting? I sometimes think about what I'm going to write on this blog and think nothing quite interesting is going on. But I'm beginning to realize it's quite the opposite. I landed in Orlando six days ago. I was a bit sad when I arrived at O'Hare in Chicago. That's always the case. And when I think about home I get a little teary eyed. But I know home will always be there. Needless to say when I touched down in Orlando that adrenaline rush, that excitement and flurry of being in a new place, washed over me. The roar of jets coming and going and the bustle of the people going to and fro in the airport always gives me a thrill.

I now work for a company called ZV Media. ZV Media does a lot of things. In fact, just about anything tech related they can do. For the most part what I am training to do right now is build out websites. When I say this, I mean there is a process from start to finish when a client signs on to use our company. First we buy the domain for them, then we register all of their information into our database, then we build out a pretty nice site for them and then we open a google applications account for them. Although I'm not programming and doing coding from scratch, I am learning a whole lot about photoshop, css, html and php coding. The company is new, and building every day. I'm not making much from start but I am taking a chance. I really believe in the company and most of all the people running it. My bosses are super cool and very hard working and enthusiastic for business. That's the gut instinct that had me take this opportunity and go with it. Some may think it's crazy to pick and go learn a new profession but really any profession for me is a new profession unless I want to be a paralegal again. I'm happy to have that experience under my belt but I'm not interested in going back into an office five days a week eight hours a day any time soon.

So it's been a week and we've mostly been working but last night I went to my first Ice Bar. We only stayed in the ice room for about ten minutes to take pictures but it was something I had never seen before so it was cool. As always I ran into a few people I know from the house music scene and people that know people that I know back in Chicago and Indiana. I swear I should go into networking. There's rarely a place I go where I don't have some kind of connection with someone. And now? I wake up Saturday morning and get the news. We're driving to MIAMI and the Florida Keys!!! Um. Yea. I am beginning to like Florida a lot. It's weather is amazing...I mean it's warm out and it's the middle of January. It's MISERABLE right now in the Midwest. The weather affects my mood and mental well being like whoa. I wouldn't mind trying somewhere in California too where the weather remains mild but you can access the beach or the mountains within an hour or so drive whichever way. I love mountains. I love the ocean. I must admit I would like to find someone who has the same vision as me. To flit about the world or the country and make a home base in somewhere like California or a place as I just mentioned that is close to mountains and ocean all in a days trip. Or even better, have a place in Chicago and somewhere else. I don't know, just a twosome, a team to make whatever decisions we make together and have someone to do life with. Alas, there are some things you can't buy, money and love. So until then, I continue on my path with me, myself, and I. And all the lovely people I meet and befriend along the way. And what a good life it is. :)

Here's the hilarity for the day....and this is why I fit right in here with these people in Orlando. We laugh every day about something or other. Recently A stumbled upon this website for an "attorney" supposedly here in Orlando. He was joking and sent the guy an email asking him if he wanted us to do a new website for him. Just please check out http://www.bobduljohnsonattorneyatlaw.biz/ Seriously you can't help but chuckle at the very least. Anyway...the guy wrote him back several times with hilarious witty responses. For real the guy should go on a night time talk show. If he is a lawyer, it's an interesting approach for business. lol. BJ, Bobdul Johnson. lmao.
