There's Something About Michigan...

I love this state. I sincerely believe that it;s the greatest state in the country. If I could get a job here I would probably not be moving to NYC. I mean if I could get a job doing film....

Continued below on August 8th...

That part I wrote a couple days before I left michigan but never got to finish the blog because immediately after i wrote that i went on my last michigan summer weekend bender. it ended up with me and a bunch of other people wasted at 5 in the morning and naked in the pool 3 nights in a row. good times. actually i was supposed to leave sunday but was too hungover/still drunk to drive so i ended up not leaving until monday.

Anyways, I thought I'd update you all on how the move is going. I got here Monday night. Unloaded my car on tuesday and then my storage unit yesterday and I'm still unpacking. I went to Ikea to pick up some stuff (my first time in the store and i must say it blew me away. I could have spent a week in there). I spent the last year with no more than 2 duffel bags worth of clothes and a few worldly possessions (basketball shoes, basketball, light saber, cd's, record collection, stero, hats and a puzzle). When I got back here and thought about my storage unit that was filled to the brim, I couldn't imagine what was in there as I had lived contently for a year with about 10 percent of my belongings.

I love my stuff and for those of you that have been into one of my apartments or know me very well or have lived with me, you know I'm a pack rat. I have t-shirts and nick-knacks from when I was 9. Literally. I can't find it in myself to throw anything away. Ever. I am convinced that if someone stole all the crap I just unloaded from my storage unit, I wouldn't be able to know exactly what went missing, just that something had. Which makes me wonder why I have all this crap. I am going to upload some before and after pictures of my room and it will become evident that I have way too many things, especially for living in NYC. I'm glad I'm realizing this now at 25 though and not 30 because I can't imagine the things I will accumulate over the next 5 years.

Anyways, I'll blog again as soon as I finally get everything put away. I hate moving so much it makes me want to explode my head against a rock. Go big or go home but don't bring anything home with you.

State of the Blog...

Obviously I have been awful at blogging these last few weeks. Aside from being somewhat busy boot scootin' around Michigan, I don't have a whole lot to say. Usually I try and write about something I've been thinking about or something that bothers me etc, but lately I just don't have an opinion on anything other than if I should get the usual Busch Light or splurge and treat myself to some Oberon. Seriously.

So in an effort to get myself to blog more I am going to blog about anything I can think of. Not just about thoughts I'm having but about consumer products, songs, other people not pertaining to me, etc. At least for the rest of the summer which for me is another few weeks.

I'm not sure if I've mentioned it on here lately but I am making my triumphant return back to NYC soon. I'm actually going out there next week to find a place (attention NY readers: help!!). So hopefully that goes smooth but judging by how difficult the most mundane things have been for me recently, I'm gonna assume it's gonna be hell. My ideal outcome would be to find an apartment my first day of looking and then come back home and enjoy a few golden weeks of the gloriousness that is summer in Michigan. But I know I'll spend a week toiling and end up living in some guys closet for $8 million a day.

Anyways, keep your ear to the grindstone. Go big and all the good stuff.
