1 week, complete

Just finished my 7th day in Seattle, and I have mixed emotions. For starters, I love the people I'm staying with, they're pretty fantastic. I'm basically staying here for free in exchange for my work into their companies. Jeff has said it best, "So you're basically pinball boy huh?". I really am. I do a myriad of tasks from website design, photoshop, auto glass installation, commercial window tinting and marketing. I've been made privy to a potential salary coming my way soon, which is very exciting!

Last night we had a phenomenal evening. We spent 4 hours boozing at this luxurious hotel in Kirkland while listening to Darren Isaacs play the piano (personal friend of my boss's). His music facilitated the ambiance of the evening. After that we went to a few clubs/bars where I finally met good looking Seattle women!!

I got a phone number from this pretty blond who practices at this local ballroom dancing studio. Dance Sport International is the name of the studio. We exchanged some texts last night and have been invited to come on by. I suppose I'll wait to see if I was sales pitched, or if she was looking to be social. I feel that it was the latter, but I've been burned before :).

Anyway, we hit a few more bars, screamed to Def Leppard, got some Jack in the Box and went home. Upon arriving at home, some former co-employees (and friends) got in a serious accident last night. They're a couple and engaged to be married. I guess while driving soberly, they got hit and my lady friend got seriously hurt, and potentially blind. She's such a beautiful woman, my thoughts to both of them.

Additional Tidbits

So. the part of my laptop in which my power cord goes into has broken@*##!$$# it fucking sucks because I have a lot of work to do. Oh well, I'll get over it. I'm making a brochure for this custom auto place. They airbrush vehicles, do custom bodies, build stereo systems etc. Sooooo I have to use a different laptop that doesn't belong to me :(.

Anyway, that's stupid shit to complain about. Getting the vehicle is looking more realistic each day, I have work as an insurance adjuster coming up, and the weekend is coming soooon!!! So I can say life is going well, I'm glad I'm here and I'm glad even while here I'm maintaining friendships at home while nurturing new ones as well! I love and miss you everyone!

Seattle for 24 hours now!!

Yep, have been gone for 24 hours. Hasn't sank in yet, this blog will know when it has :). Thanks for a great night everyone. I had a few people in mind that I was supposed to see before I left, yet it turned into a giant high school reunion at the Ironwood! Special thanks to Jeff, Andrew, Vinny, Erin, Z, Shannon and her boy for meeting up with me. Probably the most important friends in my life on a mulitude of levels, great to see ya before I went. Please send me pictures from the evening! And Jeff, get your camera from my sister!!!!

Speaking of my sister, thanks for keeping cool after I fell asleep for 2 hours and subsequently missed my flight :). I wonder if things would have gone so smoothly with my dog had I been on the flight I was originally scheduled for? Food for thought.

Been here for nearly 24 hours. Wii bowling, double Patron margaritas, travel, and sleep have been my experience here thus far. Tomorrow is work though and I'm excited!

Got to see the car I'll be buying a white BMW 325i with white leather. I'm totally impressed, can't wait to put her to use. Leave some love!!

=/

WHOOOAA.. Totally moved away from everything I know on January 26th! Missed my original flight so I had to standby!! (Thanks ERIN!). Regardless I got here, with my DOG! Everyone loved him on the plane. Stewardesses, flight attendents, pilots, janitors. Hell, he laid in the middle of Chicago's O'Hare International Airport getting his belly rubbed!! What a good boy. Ok, enough about my dog, kinda creepy.. I live in Richmond Beach, WA and I welcome everybody to come visit this fantastic city. I will foot some of the bill just to enjoy all my friends company out here. I work at a myriad of places including a commercial window tinting company and a marketing firm. I am in the process of inheriting of BMW 325i with white leather. So.. life is good!

Eternally grateful..

just had a fun night of movies, booze, talks, and someone awesome to hang with.. thanks for making me forget Ms. Erin!

What a fucking waste

This guy had a profound effect on who I am today and was undoubtedly my best friend for some very influential years of my life. We've barely spoken in recent years and only mildly started getting back in contact via myspace. I'm still aghast that he was shot. I'm sickened, upset, and furious by this. I've just learned that this was self imposed, and not someone else's doing... Geez Jeremy, why so soon?

And you give yourself away...

It's amazing the profound effect music has on the human psyche. Most songs, to me, are easily forgettable and thus disinteresting. But there are a few that just claw themselves deep inside of me and say, "HEY! I know how you're feeling. and this is the musical iteration of your emotions." For example, U2's "With or Without You" blows me away every time. I never get sick of it. I can understand someone not liking the song or the band. But you can't say the song's not progressive, deep, and engulfing. It just makes me want to bawl, I'm such a girl.
