Talking Back in Cali Baby!!!!!!!!!!



well... after a gruiling 4 days of moving. We finally made it!!!!!

Moving from a second story apartment in ******* Phoenix during the summer sux! Friggin 110 degree heat, and just you and your GF loading all your furniture in a uhaul truck going down a flight of stairs is something I don't wish on anybody!

BUT!!!!

I'm back in Cali, and it's a gorgeous 80 degrees out right now! SOOOOO DAMN NICE!!!

Anyways, gonna go pick up the car from BBK in a little bit... Haven't drove it in like 3-4 weeks. I'm chomping at the bits...

unfortunately I gotta drive back to AZ tomorrow, to smog it, register it at my "other" address for 2 years... then drive straight back here...

oh well... gotta do what I gotta do!

glad to have you back in the area man. No offense, why in the hell (other than the weather) would you ever come back to this god forsaken place? Job or something? This is one of the silliest states in the union, especially when it comes to cars. Which is too bad, because it has such great weather for cars.

Ah yes... power TV. I was talking to Bryan over at BBK today and told me to apply there for a job. Said if he would've known about 2 weeks ago what I do, they would have definitely looked at me for their graphic design position I didn't know they were looking for one!

The main reason is the GF stuck it out with me through my college in Phoenix, and I promised I'd move back with her in Cali so she could be near her family. Other than that, I really missed all my friends here in cali, and I do honestly really like the Temecula/Murrieta area. And of course the weather beats the hell outa Phoenix! But yea, the govt./state laws are friggin stupid as hell... that's where I agree this state has gone to all the tree hugging hippies...
