The inevitable occurs

So I had decided to stop using Xanga, deeming it stupid and pointless. Here I am, only six months later writing my first entry on Blogger. I could justify my hypocritical actions by saying that I'm just using Blogger to support Google, but I'll admit that it's a useful tool to keep track of people that you haven't seen in awhile.

Here's some history for those of you who I haven't really spoken to in awhile (basically, a good chunk of my friends from back East) and also for anyone who bothers to read this (all three of you). It's been about three and a half months already, but I finally made the move to the Sunshine State, California. I'm living in NorCal (Silicon Valley) and was lucky enough to find employment within a cool, young, burgeoning company. On a side-note, I eat at IN-N-OUT in regular intervals now (usually at least once a week), and despite the ridicule of my roommate, I'm pretty proud of it. I usually get the #1, Double-Double (that's two meat patties) with carmelized onions and a thick strawberry shake and fresh potato fries. On occasion, I'll get two servings of fries. Isn't that disgusting? Other than that, nothing really interesting to report.

Answers to some frequently asked questions on my move to California:
- Am I glad I did it? (A) Definitely. I felt my cage getting smaller and smaller in Boston. I feel like living out here will definitely give me a chance to grow.
- Do I miss Boston? (A) Of course... well, certain things about it. I miss family and friends but I don't miss the monotony and the sub-zero temps.
- Are the women in California any different than the women in Boston? (A) I'll say this... the sea is vast out here, with many quality fish swimming about, but like parking spaces, all the good ones seem to be "restricted" or already taken.

Well, it's a Saturday night and I don't even want to go out. I enjoy the time that I have, to do absolutely nothing. This is what happens when you graduate and start working 40+ hours/week. I'm not complaining; I actually enjoy this type of lifestyle and my work. I'm just trying to justify staying in on a Saturday night. Failed? Probably.

Until next time...
