A lot has happened this week. I worked monday to make up for me taking friday off. During the week, I didn't do much beyond cleaning, drawing and going to work. Still very confident that I want to move.
On friday, the wife and I headed to St. Joseph, and shopped for potential jobs and places to live. I'm glad to announce that I think we've found our place of residence! Its a complex right on Lake Michigan, beautiful view of the lake, and nice... NICE community atmosphere. No loud drunk ass party college students! In fact we stressed that that was something we wanted to avoid. We'll sign on officially early in 2007.
I guess things money-wise is gonna be pretty tight. I'm even thinking about getting another second job. No, not McDonalds again... but something I can transfer to when we move. Maybe a video store or something. I'm gonna check around. We could really use the extra cash. and if there is a possibility of me moving earlier, I need to be prepared for that. Cause SAN DIEGO is still on, and PITTSBURGH as well, so that ain't changing. But I also have to have cash to print my stuff. So, a job searchin' I will go. Hopefully I get a nibble or two out there....
I was at Shane's all weekend. We had a great time. Finally did the final mix on ZOOMAZOAPOZA, and thus, our 3rd album is done! I got some burnin' to do, and uploading and then it will be available. We didn't get to the PODCAST like I wanted to. I was quite drained all weekend. The town is so relaxing and beautiful that we have no doubts in our minds that we are doing the right thing. It feels really good to look forward to change!
Today before we left, we drove to the beach on Lake Michigan and watched the waves. Its quite a liberating feeling to sit there and watch the huge lake toss and turn in the wind. A feeling that I could fly over the lake and watch it from anywhere. Better than covering my ears to the sound of a drunk college fuck yelling "WHOOOOOOO!" and slapping his equally drunk girlfriend around. I'm so ready to go.
Another odd thing happened to me: I had this dream where I woke up, and I was back to being 12 again and in the 4th grade. Only, I remembered how things would unfold. It was like Quantum Leap or something. It was so real and I lived out each day in my dream. Every test, homework, job, etc. I tried to change certian things, and bet on things I knew would happen. The only thing was that the friends I have today wouldn't be my friends in this alternate reality. I never met Shane or Ted. I never married Kelly. It was completely different. I woke up all shocked and miserable. It stuck with me all day. You ever have those dreams that are SOOOO real, and you could swear they actually happened to you? Yeah. That was it. I remember it so vividly, my line between what I "relived" and what I remember what actually happened in my past are blurred. I rememembered details I had forgotten. Mundane things. Locker combinations, school schedules, what arcade games were in my old arcade in my home town when it was there, etc.
Odd huh?
Anyway, I'm back home and taking a nap tonight as I am DEAD tired. But I thought I'd post a quick update to let you all know I am alive. I got more drawing to do this week, also re-finishing Pleasant Life #1 in the computer, and job search!!!!!
wish me luck with it all.
