So I have been slacking BIG TIME, but I’ve been really busy. Working on a new production company venture down in NYC. Not going to say too much about it right now, but things are definitely moving along. Still not getting paid, but so it goes when starting a new venture. If you do good work, the money will come.
I’ve tentatively relocated to northern New Jersey. Yes, the state that I believe I wrote at least some of, if not an entire post, about it being the armpit of America. Well I still feel that way, but it’s free and I need to be near the city to be involved in this project, so that’s how it is. I had been crashing on couches.
Basically what happened was this place became available and I strapped my bed to the roof of the ever trustworthy Toyota Camry and headed to the NJ state. Pretty much everyone I knew thought the whole strapping the bed to the roof was a terrible idea, including my father who ultimately helped me attach it.
Honestly, it was a pretty ridiculous idea (as evidenced by the image). The minute I got up to 60mph, the tarp that was covering the bed came loose and started flapping like a bastard. Luckily I had a 50 foot piece of nautical rope in my trunk (why I have no idea) and I tied that shit down tight. About 45 miles later the tarp got loose again. It actually pulled out from underneath the rope, which is pretty impressive.
Deciding that I wanted to be done f*cking with it, I stopped at Sears, bought a roll of duct tape and used the entire thing to secure the tarp. It STILL got loose, but to a much lesser extent. Needless to say, that tarp won’t be of much use; the wind tore it to shreds.
I also switched blogs and started a new homepage-esque site in a cool spot called Flavors.Me. It allows you to have one page that ties together all your social media. It’s pretty badass b/c I own the URL thewanderboy.com, but on my old blog it was $20/month to have the domain mapping feature. On Flavors.Me it’s only $20/year and then I can link to this WordPress blog that is free. So I went from $20/month to $20/year. That savings will pay half of next month’s health insurance bill. Yay!
When the hell are we getting socialized medicine?
More to come soon. I’m out.
