it's never easy [10 Oct 2005|11:10am] i am sorry that i blog so infrequently, for those of you who are keeping tabs. i will do my best to keep all eager readers informed of my great and wonderful chicago style... well i have moved myself halfway across the country, and it's so very hard. it at these places when you want to just lay down, that you have to walk on even stronger. this is what i have to do. work is good i have made some friends. the initiation was finalized when i was invited to the favorite hang out bar last night. over pool and cheep beer, i got to laugh and hang out with the chili's restaurant crew. (for those of you who have worked in a restaurant, you know exactly what i am talking about) christy is still looking for work, so money is causing some stress. it sucks when something i care about so little, can cause anxiety in my everyday life. the city is treating us well tho. chicago is amazing in the fall. that's all i have to say right now. i want to get involved in some volunteer work. i need to start doing something meaningful with my life. that and art, i need to start doing art. post comment

the midwest [28 Sep 2005|07:59pm] what can i say, things are different out here. this small town mentality that i have stepped into has will take some getting used to. but things continue to take shape here in chicago. i hope to be able to begin some sort of art out here. i am starving for a darkroom or the outdoors. that is i think what i miss. i took for granted my home tucked away in NH where an amazing hike with miles of view was a mere 15 min away. i can't even see a mountain from the top of the little building i live in. but we do live across from a beautiful park, i will have to take advantage of that more than i am now... side note: "windy city" is the biggest understatement this side of the mississippi. i swear that the wind here could just take you away to oz it does have a kick ass skyline tho 6 comments|post comment

what a fucking night [27 Sep 2005|09:22pm] well, right now i am supposed to be at orientation for chili's but.... with the great directions from the marriott receptionist i ended up a half hour from wisconsin.... anyways, so i am not yet starting at chili's, and not yet making any rent money, but this is what it's all about i guess. what would be the point if everything just fell into place? hopefully the manager will be sympathetic to my sap story of "i'm new, i don't even know where the highway is" i also was offered a job as a part time children's portrait photographer. it should be awesome. i don't want to work in the restaurant business for long, too much stress and too much fake i'm missing loved ones tonight post comment

wednesday sept 27 - PBS [27 Sep 2005|02:12am] dylan documentary (part 2) tomorrow night. well, actually it would be tonight, but whatever. i'm sure you'll figure it out. you know it'll fucking rock post comment

chicago is my home [26 Sep 2005|11:19am] [ mood | content ] well, i am here is chicago. how do i feel about this drastic change in my daily life? uncertain, unsure, excited, nervous, and in great anticipation for all that will lay ahead. the apartment is great, our little third floor home is taking shape. i am excited to see all that these walls will be made privy to in the coming months. starting a job will definitely add some needed structure to my days of reading, writing and venturing into the city. i hope to not have to work for too long as a waitress. though i am grateful for the income it will provide, i hope to find a bakery to work at soon. perhaps some volunteer work... the wedding of mike and lianne redcay was awesome. i really cannot think of another way to describe it. i have never seen so many people gather from so many corners to commune together. meeting the people that have been such great influence to such dear friends was wonderful. there was drinking, dancing, pipe smoking, and talking late into the night. it was wonderful. wonderful to meet some new friends in chicago. wonderful to see mike and lianne on their wedding day. so.... this is my first entry, i will see what becomes of this blog world that i have stepped into. 3 comments|post comment
