last weekend

I'm celebrating my last week in Ocean Beach. Next weekend I'll move. I'm helping Miss T get her stuff from her place to our new garage on Wed., then Thurs. we get the keys to the place. I'm going to stay here until next Sat. Gonna rent a Me-N-My-Buddies-Haul and take all the stuff over there on Saturday. Always up for more helpers... feel free to invite yourself. Today I'm celebrating by listening to my new(ish) Wyclef CD, sitting on the couch watching High Def preseason football. I'm waiting on a friend who'll take me down to the beach for the rest of the afternoon. some life I've got. More and more I find I'm enjoying putting my photos up on flickr. I ended up going to flickr pro. I used the flickr uploadr to put up 200 photos for a co-worker (all on her free account) then used iPhoto's upload to flickr tab to put up more of my own. I find pictures are a more enjoyable way to keep in touch with people. 'especially with friends overseas. a friend of mine is in japan. I find his day to day pictures fascinating. Hopefully my boring beach life is good to others. I'm reflecting a lot as I prep to move. It was just a little apartment under the flight path, but the time I've spent here has meant so much to me. I moved into this apartment with no job, no ability to pay for it, but with belief that things would work out anyways if I just worked hard enough. I was making $800/month and the rent was $925. I had no savings. It was a rough spot to be in. I raised money working for Z57, selling websites to real estate agents. I peddled a pedicab, and hoped like hell i could find someone to work for. The little side jobs I did from the lab were not coming in quick enough... Only now do I feel like I'm really moved back from Asia. Looking forward to the next place and the new chapter of life.
