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.

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 I've finally got everything all squared away.  Sent out a deposit earlier today to hold my room.  Moving in with 2 guys, to a condo outside of Orlando.  Officially, 5/5/08 is my move date. Should be down there by 5/6. I still have to decide if I want to make it a 1 or 2 day drive, but regardless I can't leave till the afternoon on the fifth. Talked to Dave yesterday, I can't wait to get down there and hang out. He sounds bored so hopefully I can change that. I've been getting a bunch of shit together. Got my tags and a new tire Monday, changing my oil right now. Boxes are everywhere, I've gotten through probably 75% of my things. well enough for now.
