It's been a while again. I feel bad. But things have been hectic. I need to register my car here in Cali, havent done it yet, doubt ill get to it today. prolly Monday. Sunday is my birthday. Dont quite know yet what ill be doing. Luis wants to take me out to dinner, which I will go to, but I hope he doesnt want to go out to a bar or anything else like that afterwards. Dont really feel like it. Been going to too many bars lately. I just want a weekend at home with friends and pot and drinks and cards. Havent done that since I came back from Florida. I miss my friends. but i am making new ones here. but they cant replace the ones i have in florida, instead, the bastards in florida need to hop on a plane, and ship their shit out here and live here now. |

Things are going well. I got my couch today, I love it, it's great. And tonight promises to be fun. I will be spending some time tonight with Luis. If not the night. Funny how life throws things at you when you dont expect it. |

Sometimes, I get carried away with the moment. It seems to have happened twice. Twice now I've been to the same bar, and the same thing happens. I'm not sure exactly how to describe this, but it seems to work. I love this. I love living out here, no, the people are not all saints, im not making huge amounts of cash living on the beach and having a dandy time, but I am enjoying myself. The people here are no less fake or more real then in orlando, but I find myself able to better sort the two now. Maybe that comes from some more recent understanding of myself, how I interact with others, or some other reason, but I cant say I hate it. Life seems to be moving along pretty well, Im able to make a living out here, the people I've chosen for friends I think im able to say they are trustworthy at the very least.
I miss my friends from orlando though. My hunny is always in my thoughs. |

Tonight I met the lesbos in apt 1 where i live when I went to get the mail. Well, i didnt just meet both of them, I met Madeline when I first moved in, but I didnt meet Melissa until tonight. Melissa is Madeline's hot little 19 year old. They both seem like really nice girls. They invited me to dinner tomorrow night and a movie. That should be fun, and considering that my only furniture still consists of a folding chair and a borrowed aerobed, much more fun then a night at my place. well. Judging by the sound of the tinny shitty little laptop speakers, it's time to go.
Cake or death! |

I've been bad, I havent updated this journal in a while now. Much too long. Things have been busy. I moved into my new apt, I love it here. So far this has only proven to me that moving to LA was a very good idea. My next door neighbour Jose Luis has been showing me around the city and at the moment I have no furniture in this apt, so he's been letting me in his place and just spending the evening watching tv and talking. I've learned quite a few things about Luis in this time. and ive met quite a few of his friends. they all seem to like me. Good thing too, they're some of the only people ive met in this place. Well, im gonna go now, gonna smoke a cigarette. and by the way, ive been doing good about quitting those too. this is the first I've had in a few days. |

Today has been a little interesting. In a good way. This morning a certified letter came for me. From Sally. If you've been reading or you know me, then you know Sally is not my favorite person. It was a check for 20,000 dollars. along with the check came a letter. it says that my father wanted me to have this when he died, signed Sally. That allows me some security in my recent move. |

well, today I went to work, got this kick ass fax server online. essentially, it's a postscript printer as far as other os'es are concerned, it uses a laserwriter driver, you set it as your printer from say, microsoft word for documents, add a line for the fax number on the cover sheet, print the word doc to the network printer, and it will fax the number with the entire word document. also, it will read a fax, email it to the recipient based on the caller-id, or will scan the pdf file it creates with OCR and try to determine the recipient. which seems to be working pretty well as long as it's typed. Damn it's sweet, too bad i have almost never sent a fax in my life or it might seem cooler to me. Enjoying the fact that i dont work at hostcentric anymore. Been talkin to the ever groovy JD, and everything is the same, therefore, since when i was there, everything was in a constant state of moral decline, the place is just that much worse now. |

A friend and I were discussing my old place of work, and Denny came up, someone who works there. In our discussion of his sad life, my friend basically summed it up for Denny.

I miss my music. I miss my stereo from home. Im sittin here listening to clint mansell, and man is it good. But it's better on my stereo. Give me Aerial or give me death. So now I have a job. And it's actually doing something fun. I convert NT servers into linux servers. Having a bit of a problem getting some of it to work, but Im doing what I can. And Im rather confident that I will get it all to work. One of the most recent projects I have just started is to get rid of their windows fax server and replace it with a unix machine. Same with the nt4 pdc, which im replacing with an ldap, kerberos, samba solution. So far that one is the most fun, and also the most difficult. Hmmmm, could be a direct correlation there. Most Difficult = Most fun. I like challenges. I miss my friends. |

Today I got a paycheck. I haven't had a paycheck in about 3 months now. That three months have felt like about 3 years. Let's make a summurized list of what has happened in that three months. First off, I got asked to resign. Many things would not have happened had this not occured. I went to Hawaii to visit my father for the last time. Ehh, sorta bad thoughts, but only in the area that I wish I had had more time to get to know my father. Sorry about the delay, Leanna just got home. Two days after I left the island that my father was on, for Kuauai, He died. Now, the only reason I left the island that my father was on for anything other then Florida, was because my other half-brother, Mitch ( who will from now on only be referred to as my brother Mitch. fuck the 'half-' bit.) was getting married on Kuauai. So then Mitch gets married, two days later we have my father's funeral. I then come back to Florida , and that's how I got to spend three weeks in Hawaii. After this, I'm still unable to find a job, Julie gets divorced, and I learn about an offer from Mitchs' mother to come live in Los Angeles. I decide to go. Not having a paycheck is probably the leading factor in going to Los Angeles. So now I've driven accross the country. and Let me say again, anyone who thinks this world is overcrowded, make them move to Texas, and am living in Los Angeles. Then two days ago, a company called Leanna's line for me, left a message and I got in contact with them. Now I've worked there two days, working on switching their mail system to a linux qmail solution, and am loving it. And they have paid me for my work up to now. Today I got a paycheck. |

So last night my mom calls me. She tells me that my brother has left rehab. How good of him. Mom is of course distraught over this, which I can understand but I do not share. Apparently someone, which I assume was a friend he made, was kicked out of Habilitat, and he decided after incurring some disciplinary action that he didnt want to be there anymore. So, now he's on Oahu, without anything. No money, nothing but the clothes on his back and whatever "friends" he probably ran away with. Well, at least he's been clean for about 4 months now. He wont start doing drugs again. And I miss the florida weather.
I dont mind helping out my brother. He is my brother after all. But I refuse to ruin my mood because he decides to refuse help. Before Mitch even talked to me about 'tough love' I knew what it was, it's my nature already. I will help you when you desire to accept my help. That is how I am, I will not help you when you come to me to be rescued but do not desire reform from your destructive ways. If you wish to learn, I will teach, I will not force you to learn when you do not want to, it's not worth my time. But I digress. bye bye for now. |

Or I guess lately is more appropriate. I wish I had updated the journal earlier, but I've not been a computer except for the past couple days. And before I left Florida I was depressed and unwilling to update the journal.
I do not like goodbye's. I think that's the easiest way to explain how I feel about this move. I want to go out tonight with jules and dan to trick shots and drink myself silly. Even just the thought is soothing. If only. On the other hand, had I not moved, I would not be currently spending time in California, the state I have wished to move to for years.
I think it has escaped me how well Vanya knows me until I told her I was departing for an extended time. When I told her I was moving to Cali, she said something to the effect of, "finally". Then explained that I had been talking about it for years, which I guess I had, but always considered it a pipe dream, something that was great fun to think about, but you never expect to happen. Which also should help explain how I feel about this move, put these two feelings together and just feel your stomach turn.
I believe I will be disseminating the experience that is driving across the country over multiple entries. As I'm sure all of the details will not allow themselves to be recalled at this time.
I need a mcjob hehehe |

So, it's 7 in the morning here, and I more or less just woke up, I had two dreams that I distinctly remember last night, which is an extreme oddity for me. They were both including people that I dont necessarily care about, as in they did not include people from what i would consider my close group of friends. I wish I knew what that meant. |

So today I got more of the taint left by my brother on the house painted. Shortly I will have successfully removed the taint from my sight. At least the house looks better. Here I am, sorta living in this house, about to depart from Florida hopefully for the rest of my life, fixing up the house I currently live in just to leave from here soon. But then again, at least my roommate lives here, she breaks the monotony. And I even like having her around, she's good people. |

Today, I finished pressure washing the house. Now I have to get started on painting it. Now mind you, all of this im doing and the leaving. So, essentially, I get to fix up the house that Im not going to live in anymore. Great. Fun. And then, I was going to be visiting a good friend tonight for a movie, but she had other plans that she forgot about last night when our plans were made. I'd really like to spend more time with her before I leave, but what can I do. At least Im not in a shitty mood today. I was earlier yesterday, I dont like being in a shitty mood.
Well, at least today didnt suck. |

Have to give thanks to my friend Deleterion for getting me this account. Otherwise welcome to the first post of many to my livejournal. On the 15th I will be driving to CA to live there for the forseeable future. Join me on my fantastic voyage that
will be my existence in Cali. |
