A Question to Ponder…

Tuesday, May 22nd, 2007

Which is more appealing?
- a life of leisure
- a life of accomplishment

I at first answered a life of leisure, as for a long time all I’ve wanted is no monthly bills, and to just chill.  But I’m beginning to take the turn, as there are things I’ve set out to do that I really want to accomplish.

Also, from the same stupid online survey: Which traditional wisdom is more true?
- Don’t put all your eggs in one basket.
- Women can’t control their emotions.

 Comedy response from my dad:”women cant control all their eggs”

Dumb

The whole point of the last post was to put in this video from a friend of the environment and the man who gave my commencement address, Bill Richardson.

Take that Obama.

Wednesday Morning Video

Wednesday, May 16th, 2007

I saw my good friend, (and boss) Todd, win the lawyer’s league championships at MSG last night.

Also, might of made a few very helpful connections in Columbus, OH via LinkedIn

Also, three weeks (holy crap!) from tomorrow is my last day here at Starwood. I’ve been working on some really fun stuff for the new SPG site, that I’ll talk about once it launches.

And the most exciting news: our offer was accepted on an amazing place in Columbus. Short North to be specific, one block from Goodale Park, one and a half from High Street, walking distance to everything! It’s the oldest carriage house in Columbus, and was once the Veterinarians office :) Major bonus points for my girlfriend Johanna, who’s in Vet School. We both fell in love with the place immediately. Anyway, check out the listing (with pictures)

Cool Things about Columbus

Monday, May 7th, 2007

Moving to Columbus in the fall, strongly considering buying a house in Clintonville, near some pretty cool places.

There seems to be a pretty cool music scene out there, although some dumb shit is going on with one venue. Come on, they can’t cover an 1800/ month increase (to $6000/ month!) in rent? Something isn’t right here. I’m almost considering buying it myself…

And while Columbus is the largest US city without a MLB team, they do have some other kick ass sports.

And oh, yeah, the best part about Columbus? My girlfriend is there…

OH – IO, Comix. (and not the shitty comedy club in NY)

Sunday, May 6th, 2007

I’ve got a lot of things I’ve been wanting to say for a while.
Firstly, I’ve officially quit my job
to take a very extended trip to Brazil [info]
with my lovely girlfriend. For those into long-term planning, that means there is a highly qualified web developer
to be looking for freelance gigs [seriously, email me]for the summer and then eventually full-time employment
in Columbus, Ohio.

Speaking of which, I’m sitting in a sandwich shop in Columbus as I type this, doing work (or at least looking busy.

I read two great graphic novels on the plane ride last night.
The first was Hello Again, by Max Estes,
a story about a building manager faced with his past.
Also, James Kochalka’s [I called him Cock-Choke-ah to his face once]
Magic Boy & The Robot Elf.
It’s a pretty deranged story, like most of his stuff, but definitely entertaining.

What the hell, if you are reading this, and want either of them, send me an email and they are yours:
bazoomercom [at] gmail.com , for serious.
