Simply New!
[personal/site.news: _updates] | posted by el.mono on 24.Jun.2007

Update!I'm sorry that it has been awhile. I can't believe that it has almost been six months since I have updated this site.

No worries. For those that really keep up with me, it's amazing. This is just a little something extra. For those that don't know me, this site is for you to get to know me better. Yay!

I wanted to say Congratulations to my sister for graduating from high school. Cool deal. Just to start over again. You will like this experience better than high school I think. I did.

Over on the left, is the newest addition to my family, Javier.

I also have added some new sections that to the site. I will update those here in a second. I did want you to know that I did finally update my portfolio. Especially since I have started EyePlay Design. I use it to show my work. Loving it.

New Year! More Projects
[biz/site.news: _biz.updates] | posted by el.mono on 28.Jan.2007

+New Year! More Projects+ It's been exciting twenty something days for me. Who would have known that it would be so exciting? Right? I have had plenty of people asking me for site, art and design. I am plenty excited.

Current Projects:

* Project K-NO: I am starting the site in a couple of weeks and still trying to find some organizations to support it. My prayers and whatever I can afford are going into this project.

* ClubMimi.net: I heard that someone put it up for nomination for the Fan Site of the Month on MariahCarey.com, the official site of Mariah Carey. So I am in the process of sprucing it up. I don't want it to look bad in front of the whole world. You know? Hehe.

* EyePlayDesign.net and My.Portfolio: People have encouraged me to work what I have got and show it off. I haven't done that. I am sure behind on it. I am working on it. I am busy.. busy. I will be working and working on this. This one is almost complete, but never complete. If that makes sense. It will be always growing.


Upcoming Projects:

*The Lucky Toybox: It is as fun as it sounds. You'll have to look for that in upcoming updates. Ideas are still in the works. Might be looking for models.

* I have a little bit of t-shirt gigs going. It's nice.

* I also have some prints for sale on DeviantART.com. Please check them out.

Happy New Year!
[personal.news: _personal.updates] | posted by el.mono on 31.Dec.2006

+happy new year+ What a year it has been? I can't believe that it's over already. Did it go fast for you too? Well this year was filled with disappointments, growth, rebirth, love and happiness. I would like to thank all the people that have helped me grow and continue to contribute to my growth on a daily basis.

I went from working on job with uncomfortable circumstances and promises that went unfulfilled. I moved on and got a new job. I am in a better place and blessed at the place that I am at now. I am thankful for having it. I have come to terms with some parts of me that I felt ashamed to explore and share with people. I know it is a bit overwhelming for some people but I am enjoying life better. I send a prayer out to those that have hurt me and hope that they come around and let them know that I have learned to forgive them.

I want to thank those that have helped me in learning that I can be who ever that I want to be. I want to thank those that have given me the opportunity to have fun and a laugh at their expense. I want to thank those that have taught me new things that I have not known before. I would send high praises to my family and friends that have helped me get out of a rut and have helped me overcome the emotional battles that ever person goes through. I want to let all the artists of the year know that this has been an incredible year for all of us. I want to send a special shout to Ms. Mariah Carey for providing such an incredible year for me to follow her on. It's amazing. I loved you live. Thank you.. as always. I look forward to what 2007 is going to hold. I would like to thank those that have helped me find my faith that I thought had lost so long ago. I want it to be known that no matter who I am I praise no one louder than the one most highest.

Lastly, I would like to thank those that have shown their love and support on my projects and helping create ideas for new ones. I hope that I can continue to learn from you and continue to gain more and more knowledge and grow every time. I want to thank those that show me love everyday and lighten my day with happiness. Kisses and hugs, are more than objects of affection, they help me make it. Thank you so much and I hope that we have a faboulous year.

Happy Thanksgiving
[personal.news: _personal.updates] | posted by el.mono on 18.Nov.2006

+what the?+So by now you realize that I don't update as often as I should but I just wanted to stop by and say that we've began the Holidays and that I congratulate Wal-Mart for saying exactly what they mean.

If only the world would stop being so bias to other things in life and then there wouldn't be such a big debate and rally all over the country. For some reason, I think that the country is somewhat looped inside out in some form or fashion.

Well I hope that all is well.

Ch-Ch-Changes
[personal.news: _various.updates] | posted by el.mono on 10.Sep.2006

It's been awhile since I've updated. I know. About a month. So I have been going through some changes. I have totally quit CVS/pharmacy. Remember when I was so excited about starting to work there. Yeah that's not cool anymore.. so I've moved on. Yeah. So now I am working at Medicis in Scottsdale for IKON Office Solutions. It's pretty good. I like it. I am a mailroom clerk and I especially like going to the third story to visit Creative Services because that's what I want to do for my career.

My family did come out to visit. I was so excited! I wish that we could have done more and visited some more people and places. But I did in fact, enjoy their company because I hadn't seen them since December. Long time? I know, right?

SITE AND PROJECT UPDATES
[site.news: _site.updates] | posted by el.mono on 03.Aug.2006

+playtime+I can't believe that I left you all hanging without an update. That's so like me to make you used to something and then break the habit. Just kidding. I have been busy working on things, projects.

Sites. I have been working on something with SpiritTAG.com and creating some graphics for them. It's volunteer and I don't mind doing it. Plus it's at my leisure and it's fun. It's all for the man upstairs and we know that he's the important one in the end. Right? Then I have been working on getting some new ideas together for some future. I am working hard. I am not just being lazy.

I have also started to work on my portfolio. I just started it and I am going to post all my work, so that I can show people that are interested in seeing what I do. It makes it easier for me and them.

WHAT'S NEW
[site/personal.news: _various] | posted by el.mono on 18.Jun.2006

prayer to the most high It's been a little while since there has been an update. I have been going through an amazing transformation in the past couple of weeks and, of course, I have been through somethings that have contributed to this change. I am growing and experiencing things. I hope that all turns out for the better. I would first like to welcome you to my spiritual journey and read the blog that I've created that's dedicated to the Word. It's called Praises. Please read and leave comments, I'd love to talk with you about my thoughts and theories on what I believe. Please no HUGE debates. It's more of like a peaceful getaway kind of blog.

I'd also like to thank my friend, Ms. Baker for taking me to her church this past Sunday. It was an incredible experience and that church is so lively and I see myself going back sometime soon if I'm able to. Thanks once again.

WeLoveMariah.comI'm currently working on the following projects and trying my best to get them done in a timely fashion. I know that most you all want them done like right now. I am trying my best. I am working on WeLoveMariah.com. I'm setting a theme for that and it should be up soon. I am also working on my personal Mariah Carey fan site, ClubMimi.net, and hope to have a hot tamale tour section for it. If you are interested in helping me with it let me know. I'm also working on resetting the theme for the UK singer, Benji Hayes. He is now the lead singer to a band called MonoVibe. I am working on everything piece by piece.

Lastly, I am trying to get my so-called company side site done so that people can get information on services that I can do for them. I can do pretty much anything. I do sites, t-shirts, etc. Just let me know what you need. When the site is done I'll let you know.

SWC '06: INSPIRATION
[personal.news: _swc'06] | posted by el.mono on 30.May.2006

spirit west coast '06

This Memorial Day weekend I packed my bags and headed off to Spirit West Coast '06. It was a fun, inspirational and exciting trip that I would not mind taking more often. I was touched in away that I hadn't felt in awhile and somehow I was ignoring. I was surrounded by people that were willing to pray for me and haven't had that in awhile. I made some new friends and renewed my friendship/relationship with the most important and the most highest.

Jeremy CampI saw Christian artists like Jeremy Camp, Newsboys, MERCYme..amongst others. Many of the bands I was unfamilar with by name but knew the songs and see myself making future purchases of their music.. old and new. I'd like to thank those that invited me, those I met and inspired me to search more for the something that I am looking for.

Yes, I've worked on this project before... and it's my 'turn' once again.

I will be working on WeLoveMariah.com and it's going to be better the last time, hopefully. Especially with Mariah going on tour in a couple of weeks.

I am totally stoked and I am can't wait to get tickets to the tour. Phoenix is the last stop on the tour.

I am also working on some business cards, BenjiHayesOnline.com and working on a concept for a friend of mine.

Music and Other Sections Updated

I've completed updating the site to the best of my ability. I updated the music section with my girl, Mariah. She needs help with her TRL countdown position. If you all could help her out and vote for MC, that'd be terrific. If you sign up for Team Mariah (at Fanscape.com) or Mariah Daily's Say Somethin' Team.. there might be prizes included.

Check out the music and other sections. If you want to be promoted or affiliated with me just send me an email at patrick at patrickjervis.com. Coolness.

Updates
[personal.news: _various.updates] | posted by el.mono on 28.Mar.2006

It's time for updates once again! Oh yeah be stoked! Be excited! Get thrilled! It's about to be the most exciting part of your year. Let's update shall we!

LIFE.01

Well, life is going good. I suppose. I am sorry for all those that I 'depressed' the last time you read my update. It was not meant to hurt or destroy the emotional goodness of your day. So I am going to say that life is still in the condition it's in.

  • Then what's the update? Oh it's that my lease is up in April and it seems that my roommate might be stepping off of his throne of being my roommate and possibly moving in with someone else. I don't really know what's going on right now at the moment. So right now I am looking for someone descent that wants to be my roommate. It's going to be a year lease. I can't handle 9-month, I am sorry. PLEASE please PLEASE.. if you want to move out, just let a brotha know so he can find someone else to be his roommate and not go searching like a crazy maniac.

  • BACK to LIFE. As many or few of you know, I was having a hard time with my legs and was in massive pain. Sometime barely walking. It was gross. I am saying that I am back on my way to recovery because I decided to go to chiropractor. They took X-rays and saw that my pelvis was tilted and as a result tilting my spine. And what do you know.. it caused all that pain that was shooting everywhere. I have to go back for other treatments until my back stops forming S shaped patterns and my pelvis is where it's supposed to be.

    PICTURES.02

    I am still working on perfecting the gallery of pictures so that I can show them to everyone and it will be a lot easier for me. Especially since I don't have the time to create thumbnails myself. I am sorry for all those supporters that will be disappointed but it helps. You'll be able to see more pictures of me and the things that I am doing. Coolness yeah?

    You can take a sneak peek at it:
    http://www.patrickjervis.com/plogger

    I have also updated my fotoblog if you want to ch-ch-check that out.
    http://elmono.buzznet.com

    MUSIC.03

    A lot of you liked this so I am going to just keep on doing it. I have some musical talents and sites that I promote every time I update and the bands seem to like it as well. Hehe. I think. I don't know I never actually get to talk with any of them.

    If you would like your band promoted or mentioned in my newsletters/site, I will have a feedback form up that you can send stuff to me via email, because I don't want web crawlers finding my email address.

    This week I'd like to promote Fall Out Boy. They are a band with a sense of self and style. With their catchy tunes while sticking sort of with the contemporary era, Fall Out Boy has found a way to be better and stick out from the rest. You can check them out tomorrow in Glendale, AZ and the rest of their tour but be careful it's selling out quickly. You might want to Dance, Dance your way over to their site to check out the music and see if you can get your hands on some tickets:

    http://www.falloutboyrock.com
    http://www.myspace.com/falloutboy

    AFFILIATES.04

    I'd like to promote this week, OneModelPlace.com. I am a member indeed. This is a place where you can sign up for a membership and look for people in your area (photographers, etc.) that might help you start up a career. So go ahead and head on over and check it out:

    http://www.onemodelplace.com

    That's all I have for right now. Praises.

    OH PLEASE!
    [personal.news: _modeling] | posted by el.mono on 07.Mar.2005

    I thought I was on my way to finding a new profession and on to making better money. After what I was going through today.. I felt like I was being sold for something instead of finding a job. I went to MovieWork Now Casting and it felt like I was being sold a piece of Tupperware instead of finding out how I could prosper in the business.

    The person was explaining everything in such a hurry and it was very overwhelming and uncomfortable. Also she wanted me to use the photographer that they had hired and it would cost me 280$ right then and there on the spot. I was like no not right now. I didn't feel too comfortable doing that. I don't know.. spend money to get money? No? Yes? Someone let me know.

    PRAYERS FOR GABE
    [personal.news: _prayer] | posted by el.mono on 28.Feb.2005

    As you know, I interact with a lot of people every day. Saying 'Good morning' and things of that nature and sometime developing into conversations that you probably never would have had with this person if you weren't their cashier.

    Anyway, there is a customer that comes in quite often. She's a cute little lady about 5'2" and when I was ringing her out at the register yesterday she gave a little pause and asked me a question. "Are you a person of faith and do you pray? Are you a person that prays?" I told her yes. She told me that she has a friend that her son, Gabe, is in a Diabetic Coma. She went on to tell me about how fun loving and how sports involved that he is.

    So I have taken the time out to send prayers for 14-year old Gabe. I'll let you know what happened with Gabe after I get more word but for now, if you could just pray for this young man that'd be terrific!

    DOT NET IT!
    [site.news: _update] | posted by el.mono on 23.Feb.2005

    I know that there are a lot of fans that enjoyed clubmimi.patrickjervis.com. So I decided to give it it's own address. Club.Mimi is now located at http://www.clubmimi.net. If you would update your bookmarks for easier navigation that'd be great. Don't worry it's the same great site. It's actually better than it was before.

    As for other sites.. I haven't heard much from Benji but there seems to be something wrong with the address from dot.TK that it won't forward properly to the address.. so I might just throw in a regular dot.COM or dot.NET address for him. Nyaree.com.. I am trying to get in contact with that client but it's more like tag. I really want to complete his site for him. If there's any other concerns you can leave a comment at the end of this article. I'd appreciate it. Thanks.
