Weekend with the rents...

The last time they were in Chicago was last Christmas and it was too cold to be outside really, so they were excited to be downtown when it was nice out. We took the Metra down and walked around to see a few different things. We saw the Bean and Crown Fountain at Millennium Park, Navy Pier and a few other things along the way. As we were...

I hate vintage door locks

So, I just got back from Greenville, SC last night and got back to my apartment around about 2:00am.  Yeah, late I know.  Anyway, I walked from my car with all my travel stuff, into the building and up 3 flights of stairs to find out that my door did not work properly.  I was able to unlock it, but I was unable to open it.  I tried for a bit but the nob would not turn.  After a couple minutes of trying I thought I would go try the back door.  So I go down the stairs, outside and around the building and then up the...

Huntington Beach, CA to Chicago, IL... what a ride!

Alright, here is the long awaited story of what happened as I drove from my home in Huntington Beach to my new one in Chicago.

I hadn't planned on moving until the 1st of Sept because I couldn't be in my new place until then. But, due to needs of the company they asked me to move a week early. So, I went all the way to Michigan instead to see...

I can now post my story with pictures of my travels from Huntington Beach, CA to Chicago, IL.  And, I can post pictures of my new place as well.  Start getting some ideas from people as to what to do because this place is so so empty.  It is kinda sad, but slowly and surely I am acquiring a few things here and there to start giving it some life.But, for now you are going to have to wait yet again.  It is past 1am and I need to get some sleep...

Well, am not on my computer at this time so I don't have access to the pictures that I want to put up. But, I promise that I will put them up with the story of my cross-country (really only to the middle) move. I wanted to mention 2 things though real quick.First, I was sitting in the airport on my way back from Atlanta on Friday evening and I was watching CNN on the TV while I was eating. As I was watching they were talking about the election of couse and they started talking about who to vote for. They said that the black republicans were...

Chicago here I am

Well, I finally made it to Chicago. The first thing I noticed when I walked into my apartment is that I don't have anything. My apartment is so very very empty. But, in time I will have more and more things and it will actually feel like a place I live and not just a place to sleep and make echos.The trip from CA to Chicago was quite the trip with cool sites, visit to the family and unexpected things. I want to share it all with you, but I want to...
