It took me about three weeks, but I managed to drag my ass down to the beach for Memorial Day. I must be a fool to have come down here. I mean, gosh, it sure is miserable. Actually, I couldn't be happier. The waves were powerful, the beer stayed cold, the ladies were wonderful, the sun was shining, and the bikinis were lovely. Dave, Jon, Kevin and I made the 45 minute trip. Then stayed most of the day. I didn't manage to pick up any sunscreen before we left, but thankfully Kevin looks as though he's never seen the sun. He had me covered. I still burnt, though not nearly like I would have. It was a great day, and hopefully this will become a weekly or biweekly type occasion.

wow. I was totally expecting to be let down. But I most assuredly was not let down. Everything Indiana Jones should be. finally Lucas and Spielberg got something right. I mean, it's only been, what, like 15 or 20 years since the last good script they've produced? They done good this time though.

Well it's been a week now. I feel like things are starting to fit. I'm getting along with my roommates, Ryan and Jon, quite well. I've gotten to see Dave now a few times, and have been tearing my fingertips to bits playing so much guitar.
Jon and I went out Sunday night and had a blast. Went to one bar for some live music, and got to see some pretty incredible music. One of the drummers put Danny Carey to shame. he was really that good. We then moved on to a new location, and by this time in the night, I've realized I'm going to get along really well down here.
I went out job searching Monday afternoon, but no winners yet. I hit up several restaurants in the area, but I'm thinking now of maybe checking out somewhere other than a restaurant.
Well enough for now.

Well it's certainly been a mission. I have finally made it down south, and just now got internet access again. The weather is wonderful, though it's hot. It's been in the 90's every day so far.  My roommates are both cool. I think we're going to get along just fine.  I did take a few pictures along the way, and I'll hope to get some of them, as well as some videos.  I have a new phone number now, 321.663.5878, so feel free to call.
