Oh, hai
What's up, kids? Everyone staying safe and as disease free as possible? Good.
I officially live in Chicago now. It's pretty damn awesome.
I moved with a bare minimum of items, mainly just all the clothes I own (which isn't much, really. I NEED to invest in an acceptable winter jacket. Nothing I have from California is going to suffice, unfortunately), my trusty laptop and some DVD's. That's it. Nicole and Amanda have been awesome and are letting me sleep at their place until I can get a bed. That'll be pretty nice to finally own one of those again.
What's everyone doing for Thanksgiving? Nic and I are going to her family's in Florida. We are totally going to Universal Studios. Which is really awesome cause I've only ever been to the (real) one in L.A. So it should be awesome. I am also looking forward to Thanksgiving food. I like eating and will do a lot of that.
Once we're back from that Dec. 1 I will hopefully start working so I can afford to buy food of my own and pay rent and stuff. And eventually buy things to furnish my very, very empty apartment. I'm having my TV and Xbox and other such important things shipped to me from where they are currently being held captive, at my dad's, in CA. I miss them dearly.
So all in all, things are going just peachy. Chicago is rad, not too cold yet, and there's lots of shit to do. I've got a lot of cool places to go investigate. If you live around here and want to buy me a drink or some food or something, hit me up. Worrrddddd!

Almost there...
Today there was a little hiccup (read: A HUGE FUCKING MISTAKE ON THE AIRPORT'S SIDE) in the flight out to Chicago. That'll happen tomorrow morning now, not this morning. It's been a bag of really extreme emotions all weekend about the move (no bad emotions, just the typical excited, nervous, anxious, etc. plus, I like REALLY fucking miss my girlfriend damnit) so today really felt like a falcon punch to solar plexus. But it's all good. Range Rover all wood. Do me like you should.
So instead of spending most of the day flying and then living in Chicago I stayed in the OC and finalized plans to have certain things shipped, and watched back to back on tv TWISTER AND DANTE'S PEAK! YEEAH! Now, it's no secret that I'm a fuckin sucker for any and all post-apocalyptic scenario movies. I eat that shit up. I don't care HOW bad the movie is. I. love. that. shit. BUT.. I also keep a very special place in mi corazon for natural disaster films, too. I loves em all. I think I can quote most of Twister, which is pathetic in and of itself, really. But also awesome.
That's really all there is tonight, kids. Endless drivel from the decaying mind of a madman. I wish I was posting this from my new digs in Chicago. I will be tomorrow. And when I do, it will be more awesome than watching it MISS THIS HOUSE, AND MISS THAT HOUSE, AND COME AFTER YOU!
WHOOOSH!

Movin on out
OH HAI
How are you? What have you been up to? If you are currently boxing up all your belongings and getting ready to move in a week then that is just CRAZY because SO AM I
Yessiree boys and girls. In naught but a week's time I'll be moving from SoCal to Chicago. I got an apartment about a block from Wrigley Field and not too far from Nicole (and Amanda). Crazyfuntimes are bound to happen! Huzzah!
So from now til whenever I finally settle in, things like internets will be delegated mainly to iPhone. I'm not really sure how long it'll take to get everything all ready to rock and roll once I'm out there, but when I do... it is on like Donkey Kong, my friends. And if there's one thing giant apes know how to do right, it's party.
Any words of advice from people who've moved cross country before? I'm still not sure yet if I'm driving out there and bringing as much as I can or flying and having only the most necessary things shipped later on. I'm waiting to buy like, real deal winter clothes til I'm there because nothing I buy here in the OC is gonna cut it. I hear it gets pretty cold there or something?
Good luck on the move, me. See all y'all on the other side.

I hath returned
I had a very excellent time in Chicago this last weekend. It went by way too fast. I finally met the elusive Tim which was awesome. And delicious thanks to Berry Chill. Nicole and I also foolishly accepted an invite from Tom to a mysterious uptown bar we'd never heard of, but luckily avoided being drugged and raped and left for dead in a field somewhere (as is Tom's custom so I've heard) and instead enjoyed some awesome Belgian beer. I am definitely looking forward to hitting that joint up again.
So, all in all, I had an amazing time in Chicago. A really amazing time. SO amazing in fact, that I've decided I'm gonna pack up my stuff and move out there. In like... a month and a half or so. Yeehaw!
Yep. Moving to Chicago. It's gonna be awesome. Any SoCal residents out there better buy me a beer while you still can. The clock's tickin'.
Booyha.

CINCO!
I didn't even realize it til my eyes wandered over to the left at the little Signed Up stat. I've been a member of the RvB community site for five years to the day. Wow, crazy. It's been a while.
I signed up at the behest of my then-roommate and still-current friend Blake(CG). He and Matt(CG) of the infamous Corporate Green were building the site for the RT guys and wanted someone closer that could help them spot bugs on the fledgling site and to point out the horrible, horrible things they were doing. Having had past moderating experience from the ComingSoon! boards, and absolutely nothing else to do with my time during the day I obliged. And was thus a Mod from the very beginning.
Over the course of five years I have met a very small handful of people from the site including my amazing girlfriend, her equally amazing counterpart, a dude who's way to good at drums in RockBand, a chick who randomly cooked a crazy-good steak meal for my roommates and I, a girl who talks only in italics, another chick and her cool as shit boyfriend who both bought a fuck ton of Guinness and watched in horror as it disappeared in like 20 seconds, and of course a disease-ridden male prostitute.
There are lots of good people on here that I haven't had the fortune to hang out with... yet. Maybe one day I'll stop "planning" on going to TO and just fucking do it? That'd be pretty rad. I'm sure there's a beer (or ten) that I owe some people.
All in all it's been an awesome time here, I remember lots of hilarious and random trends, forum dramas, etc. It's all been awesome. All in all, I like it here and I think I'll continue to stick around.

let's try this again
apparently the journal i made before this didn't post. wtf.
Las Vegas was awesome. It always is. Especially with Nicole . AWWW. Vegas is also especially fun when you're with people that have never been before. It is a big, bright, crazy, over-the-top, non-stop-24-hour-party kind of place and can definitely be overwhelming. Everyone made it through like champs, though. Big thanks to Nicole, Amanda and Chris for all contributing to such a fun time. We should totally plan for a reunion trip sometime in the future.
I am going to be in Chicago next weekend! This I am very much so looking forward to. We are definitely planning on going out for dranks at least one night, so if you are there and want to play by all means let me know and if i like you we can probably meet up. I (maybe) promise I won't get too distracted this time and flake out like I did on my previous visit. WINK TOM
There are other big things going on that are keeping me totally busy and slightly stressed, but I am (slowly) making little check marks next to stuff on my big to-do list. I can't wait until it's all taken care of. More on that later I suppose.
That's it. Boring, I know. Deal with it. Or don't.
