I represent honeys with money, fly guys, and gents

Let me address this first because I have been getting backtracked emails about my website. So I did not forget to renew my website, this is not shutting down and I do not have “beef” with my host haha. One person seriously asked if that was why my website was not working. Made me laugh pretty hard. I love my host, it is just that I am switching servers to my own private one (which I haven’t done just yet) and my host took a bit to renew the domain name for me.
Next on the agenda is…. what happened to updating this thing? hahaha That is my fault. College transfers are wrapped up but my portfolio website and hosting site are not up yet. Besides that, I have a plate full of projects to take care of and those come first since I am getting paid for them. Fashion school is expensive and I have got to pay for the cloth, pins, needles, swatches, embelishments and miscellaneous art supplies! In the end it is worth it because it will result in a fashion career eventually. Graphic designing has become a source of income for me now so I am not going to say no to a potential client. So that is what is up with thatttt.
One last thing. SOCIAL NETWORKS. NO, I do not have a Twitter. I have gotten emails about that. Reason being because I like having my life being private and will only share so much with the rest of the world. Nor do I have a MySpace though my portfolio contains a large portion of work done on there. I just know how to work with their CSS/HTML and do not have a personal account. Personal choice of mine soo yeah. I do have a Facebook but unless you want to run a search on my name, I am not going to be giving it out just yet.
I leave you with something a bit more light-hearted. Lyrics should give you a laugh if you haven’t heard the song before.
Meaning I’m on vaca chilling on a big yacht

Life kind of got in the way of this website. As you can see haven’t exactly been active on this site for a good month or so. Last blog was November when I got dumped with crazy amounts of homework for school. Then winter break came and I went back home to Boston from London. Not being home for several months was hard so I was trying my best to treasure the time I had there. This site might be down soon seeing as I now own Oh-Word.com and am switching hosting for this site under that one. I mean Oh-Word.com is going to be a hosting site anyways and I don’t see the point in hosting CheckTheMentality under a different server. Hmm.. I thing I have found the definite direction for this blog. Might possibly be getting a separate domain for my portfolio as well.
Bare with me while all of these changes are going on throughout the site. If you have any questions feel free to contact me via email. Whether it is for this site or questions about hosting under the new domain. And YES subdomains will be free, I will just implement regulations to ensure that you are fully capable and willing to manage your subdomain on your own. It will not be necessary to have knowledge of graphic design seeing as how there are great programs like WordPress and B2evolution where templates may be used. So please if you want to be hosted as soon as possible on Oh-Word.com do not hesitate to contact me. Thank you very much.
01/14/2010 UPDATE! UPDATE! UPDATE!
I have realized my online portfolio has become massive and there is still more to add with all of the new work I have done so far in the past year or so that I still have yet to put up. Because of its massive size and the fact that its stretched over so many categories (Painting, Illustration, Graphic Design) I will be moving my portfolio to a new website all together, keeping it separate from CheckTheMentality.com. Also, note that because I am/have submitted the URL of my portfolio for college transfers that the portfolio will be getting my utmost attention from anywhere between two weeks and a month before I turn back to maintaining this website. Reason for this being I have already submitted a portfolio URL some places and need to work quickly. The listing for my network of websites will be:
CheckTheMentality.com – personal website & blog
Oh-Word.com – free subdomains and low cost hosting
Lastly, my portfolio. Have not decided on a name but will soon!
01/19/2010 FINAL UPDATEEEE!!!
THIS site has been working on and off all day yesterday and today. I am just transferring hosting seeing as my domain name expired and everything might get deleted inbetween. Sorry for the inconvenience! Especially if you are here to use resources and anything like that.
P.S. My portfolio site is going to be MissJanssen.com! Joining my network of sites including this one and Oh-Word.com.
