FINALLY MADE IT TO AUSTIN TX...

so i did it. i finally pulled the trigger and made the move to Austin. the drive down here was long and exhausting. it took me two days, four mcdoubles, three bags of sunflower seeds, and one hotel room; and the entire time i was driving it was either raining heavily or i was stuck in some sort of snow storm where nobody knew how to drive their fucking cars. but alas, no one knows how to drive anywhere and that’s the Chicago in me…

anyways. i made it here and i could not be happier. i am still settling in and getting used to the small changes. after all this will be my 6th city or town i have lived in since summer of 2019…i feel like i am constantly on the move but that is no longer. Austin feels like my new home, or a place that i can turn into my new home for a few years at least. the people are very friendly, the food is absolutely fucking fantastic and the weather is great too. lots of job opportunities and their seems to be a great sense of community amongst everyone which is nice. i am currently still without a job but have been looking here and there for something that fits; something i can enjoy doing for a while that makes me good money. i am always worried about money. it something that never leaves my mind and i probably will be that way until i die. i want to live comfortably and have freedom. its not about the actual amount of money i want. its about the freedom of time to do what i want when i want. and i will get there within the next 3 years. or at least begin to move in the right direction…

shit…i already kinda have. i took advantage of a clear, warm night on Wednesday and went out and shot some neon which is found all over Austin city limits…the signs are everywhere and they provide for good photo opps. i’m not one to shoot at night usually but i felt like doing something different. enjoy.
