The Transition to the East Coast!

So it has been quite some time since i have blogged! For all the dedicated readers I apologize it wont happen again, but now it is time to catch everyone up on what has happened in the past few weeks... I have quite a few stories...

The Drive Out


Well the trip out here was.... HELL!!! I drove 2400 miles cross country.... ALONE! It was the most boring time i have ever experienced. I started Sunday morning at 11:00am The plan was to get to Omaha NE and spend the night in a hotel there! I bought a car charger for my phone before i left and downloaded a gps application so i could find my way no problems.. Well about a hour into the trip i found out the hard way that the charger was not working and since the gps was on the whole hour the battery was dead... I was not sure exactly where to go. I went as far as i could remember then got off in a Cheyenne to get a new charger. First T-mobile did not exists there so there was no t-mobile store. I found a walgreens that had crap charges so i went on a hunt for a walmart. I was directed from a very disgusting associate at walgreens. After a hour i finally found the walmart and bought the charger... plugged it in and my phone still would not charge! WTF? I didn't know what to do, i didn't know where to go! I figured maybe the charger was bad as well so i found a wall outlet at a gas station to plug it in. But that did not work either.. i was pissed! Figured my G1 was busted! i sat there letting it sit plugged into the charger... thinking of what to do. So i took the battery off and found out that the battery was half out so it would not charge! Once i got some juice i got back on the road! I arrived in Omaha at 3am which was 30 min too late for check in! I worked with them and they gave me a room without having to check in.

The next day i drove for 6 hours to chicago. I got a hotel online from hotwire.com and it put me in the McDonalds Hamburger University Lodge! When i got there i was thinking what the Hell did i get myself into? I checked in and it was actually quite nice! I was happy! That night i went out and hung out wiht one of my friends that i had not seen in over a year! Susie! It was good to see her we went and had some chicago style pizza and jsut chilled! The next day i set off to finish the drive! another 14 hours to boston. At about 3 am i started getting tired so i pulled off the toll road to one of the rest areas and slept till almost noon the next day! Then i finished my trip the next morning!

Time in Boston

I have been here in the Boston area for a few weeks now. It is a lot different! Everything is old. The roads are crazy, and they people are different! Very nice but in their own way can be jerks! We have drove downtown a few times only do get lost in some underground tunnel that goes under the whole city! I have met a new good friend out here.. I would like to introduce everyone to Ri Ri the Security Guy!


He is a good man we have had lots of fun from getting lost going to church and having to pay $7 for driving through a parking garage or getting lost every time we drive around!

I am also out here with my good friend John Gay (Burch) from the snow college days!

Best Experience

I think the best experience out here this far has just been the fresh start. Even though i miss home and cant wait to get back. It was a way for me to put all my worries aside, and start fixing everything i had been lacking! I fell like i have changed a lot of personal things that will help me be a better person!

Worse Experience!

this one was a toss up... It may have been the drive its self! But i already told ya bout that so the close 2nd was the man in the park...

So there i was on a warm MA day working my butt off! I had to go get some paperwork signed by a customer i was working with. I went to their place and got it and drove to a secluded parking lot to fill out the rest. As i was sitting there in my car, another car drove by! He was inspecting my car. First thing that went through my mind. "oh perfect another person paranoid about a Utah car in their neighborhood!" the car parked close to me but not next! As i was filling out my paperwork i would look up from time to time. And he was looking! Great i was just ready for the police to show up! It was only a matter of time cause im sure this paranoid old man called them! then he got out of his car! Started walking over to my car! Inspecting the car as he passed, looking at the plates, lookin at the side of the car! Man this guy was super paranoid! He came over to my window! I didnt wanna deal with this! As i rolled down my window i could only imagine what he was going to say to me... But i defiantly was not prepared for what i was about to hear... As i rolled the window down i said "hey, what can i do for ya" he looked at me then said "oh just thought i would come see how you were doing" pffewf i thought, just a crazy man looking for a friend... And that he was, i was just not aware up to that point what kind of friend he was really looking for. After a moment of silence he asked me "so what ya up to?" I quickly replied "just doing some paperwork before i get back to work, what you up to?" That was the wrong question! I should have realized that i was not in Utah no more! That statement was like a open invitation! He quickly casually replied "oh you know, just lookin for some sex!" WTF! Did i just hear that right? Was he trying to pick up on me? That sick old degenerate man!! I was appalled sooo much that i didn't know what to say! The only thing that came out was "well big guy i think your lookin in the wrong place! maybe you should go find yourself a good looking girl." The old man was crushed! He put everything he had into a young, good looking, hansom, in shape, good looking, cool, nice, good looking man! As he walked off he said well,, you never know!

I was so disgusted! I had never been picked up by a man before! And if i did, i didn't want the first one to be a old creepy man! I didn't ever want a man to pick up on me, but i would like to think that if i did ever butter that side of the bread that i could get a decent young man! If that is what is waiting for me on the other side of the place... than no thank you! I will stay where i am! I like my team!
