The last time I wrote in here, it was the day I’d finalized my decision that California was no longer for me. Being back in Michigan now for almost 8 months, I miss a lot about California. Oddly enough, I miss the drivers the most. Going 25 mph on major streets has become infuriating. At least let me go 35, so then I can comfortable speed at 45. I also miss In n Out and the Durrant family. But Michigan has its perks. It obviously has them, or else I wouldn’t have driven like a mad man across 8 states….8 of the biggest and longest states in the Continental US. I was pulling a trailer, in a Malibu, that had 55mph warning signs on the wheel wells, so I could see them in my rear view mirror, but ignored them constantly. I think I averaged about 78 mph the entire trip home. Damn Illinois and California (the two blue states I had to drive through, they have 55 mph speed limits for cars with trailers). I’m going to leave opinion out here, and just list out my life: I have a job. It pays well, more than I’ve ever made hourly, but no option for overtime. I have a girlfriend. I have a puppy. I have a house to call my home. As in, I freakin’ bought it. I have a car that runs, and usually starts on the first turn over. I have incredibly talented friends. I haven’t used my talents in a long time. And here are the opinions: I am a professional whipping boy at work. People call into me and yell, and I get paid to take it. My girlfriend is gorgeous and makes me happy. A puppy can suck the life out of you, disappointment after disappointment, and no time to yourself. But he’s so damn cute. My house is going to be a lot of work this summer. Painting, new roof, gutters, sheesh! My cars AC/heat only works on full blast, but the windows roll down. I can’t say enough about how talented my friends are. Visionaries and Audionaries. I need to start making music videos again. Even if the song already has a music video. I miss Ozma. |
