All Day, Every Day
Just some party small talk I had not too long ago…
Them – You have an interesting accent, where are you from?
Me – I’m from the west side of Philly…
Them – Cool, how long you’ve been in Chicago?
Me – About 8 years now
Them – 8 Years? You ain’t from Philly anymore. After 8 years, you from Chicago now!
I posted this to say that I just signed a new lease for an new apartment on the south side of Chicago. I plan on moving first or second week in June. Its a nice little 1 bedroom near King drive. Now I know that some will say that I’m a fool for giving up my house. But I was never comfortable there, and the upkeep was a bitch. Plus now, that I’m moving to Illinois I get some money back from paying taxes in 2 states.
So who wants to help to move a couch or two?
I’ve been in a somber mood as of late. Money has been tight like wearing a medium t-shirt, I’ve been trying to move without having found a place to move into and the boyfriend has non-existent in my life for the last couple weeks. And the realization that I haven’t had any ass since December ’07 is making my dick mad at me.Â
That suicide is painless, it brings on many changes, and I can take or leave it if I please…
For the last month and a half, I’ve been staying a friend’s house in the city. And I’m so grateful that he’s opened up his home to me, but I feel so fucked up about the situation. There’s something about a grown ass man sitting up in another grown ass man space like he lives there. Also I really don’t know how I can express my gratitude without forking over a wad of cash. Again money is tight.Â

In the time that I’ve been staying with my friend, I’ve started taking the bus to work. At first I did this because, I was without my car for 3 weeks because bad brakes but now with gasoline running about $4:15 a gallon, I been hopping on good ol’ PACE and CTA. And while public transportation is a good thing, its great for the environment but them bastards made me late to work on several occasions. Late clock-ins mean less money.

Boredom has a grip on me. I spend most my time of, either packing or watching progress bars. Bit Torrent has become my new best friend and fuck buddy. The amount of music and porn I’ve download, I mean obtain is scary. I’ve broke the 10,000 mark for music tracks in iTunes and my porn collection has officially because criminal. Essentially I’ve barded my porn to my friend to stay at his place. He’s actually watched one move a night, just about every night I’ve been at his place and he has yet to reach the end of the collection or watch the same movie twice. That’s how much porn I have now. I know I need help.

Okay, this short latino marine just pulled up next to me on the street, while I was walking home from the bus stop. He literally jumped out of his car, some red Chevy four-door, and asked me a bunch of questions trying to get me to talk to him:
“Hey man, what’s ya name? Do you got a brotha named Robert who’s a marine? You’re a big guy…”Â
It was pretty surreal, and I left me rushing to get away from him. As I told him that I really wasn’t interested in the military, and as he pulled off as quickly as he rode up on me, I had this feeling that he cruised me, cruised me for the military. Now as for why I was  walking from the bus, well that’s a story for another day.

Its almost been two months and where have I been? The short answer: Everywhere and Nashville! Since Thanksgiving my car, the Mean Green Piece ‘O’ Shit Machine, died on me twice. The first time the fuel pump went out, and 3 weeks later it was the starter that died. I was use the drive to Schaumburg, but evidently the Neon was not. So for a Christmas gift to myself I went out a got a 2002 silver 2nd generation Neon. Me and my Mopar. It has low milage and only cost me 7 grand. Its nice, but its not that PS3 and souped MacBook Pro I wanted.
Work is going great. Right after the holiday season ended I had got transfered to another Apple Store. I’m at new store thats a little smaller than Woodfield and a lot more closer to home. I’ve been spending the last couple of weeks getting use to the clientele and I think I’m definitely going to like Orland Square Mall. Now only if they had a better food court.
On the personal front, I’ve started dating again and I’m a couple of weeks strong into a good thing. Its really refreshing to have someone who actually wants to communicate and genuinely cares. If i can only get them to play GH3 with me, it would be great.
