LA Chronicles 1.0

I’ve finally touched down in Sunny Southern California after a pit stop in Atlanta over the weekend. I figured the easiest way to keep people up to speed with what is going on in my life is to do this new thing they call “blogging”…However, I can’t promise I’ll be any good at it nor will I promise that I’ll do more this on a regular basis…without further ado…the LA Chronicles 1.0…(imagine good background music)

This weekend featured myself and my kicking it partner in crime, MC, going down south for a little southern hospitality. I won’t go into details on the weekend to keep from incremenating myself or any others involved in the debauchery…Just know that the A showed us love…

Shout Outs:
SQ – holding down the lodging and weekend planning
CC – introducing us to the fam
LS – the deep convos with us at 3am
TE – just a good time walk’n it out
CB – blast from the washu past
LJ – buckhead fine dining

But back to LA, I’m here counting down the last few hours of my unemployment before starting the new gig. Overall – I’m looking forward to joining the work force tomorrow despite the getting up part (although I’ll most likely be up at 5:30 am due to the time difference) and sitting in traffic for 2 hours to go 20 miles and not playing on internet and not …but I digress. I’m really feeling the weather out here. I mean sunny skies and 80 degree weather how could you be mad and it would take something pretty big to mess up your day…something like scuffing your A1s.

Really the only bad thing to happen so far is that my suitcase wheel was broken when I picked up my luggage. Now this wouldn’t normally upset me but 1) I’ve used said luggage for two trips; 2) I just purchased this not-so-cheap piece of garment hauler; 3) The Sales Lady specifically asked me did I travel a lot which I replied yes and she proceeded to walk me past the cheaper pieces of ish to the obviously more expensive piece of ish that would break following the second trip…So you may be saying stop tripping and go get it replaced…which is a very optimistic look at things…however, I had to lug this 1 wheeled-60lb bag with me and my other 3 bags because of her mistake in recognizing that someone who travels a lot only makes one trip…would a person who travels not a lot travel < 1 trip ever??? And what are the luggage guys doing in the back to my luggage to break a wheel? This thing is reinforced with titanium rods and all this army type stuff. Are they working on their favorite Ultimate Warrior move? Or are they playing cornhole (shout out to my Cincy folks that know what cornhole is…basically European version of horse shoes) with my luggage? I’ll end it there on those important questions…stay tuned for a recap of my first day of work…It reminds me of school…like I should have gone shopping for a new outfit and layed it out on the bed with the pants hanging down over the shoes…
