I guess I'm taking a time off from SG. My membership is up and I can't renew for now. Unless I have a benefactor that I don't no of fair well.

I took the California Barber's License exam today. The written test was a breeze. Finished in about 20 minutes. My model didn't show for his haircut. He didn't answer so I started to worry. I stood outside the Social Security Office offering shaggy men a haircut and $50. No luck, in fact I was chased away by security because I was "soliciting".

FML, I'm sick of the bullshit. It took CA 6 months to give me a test date, and my haircut didn't show. I'm ready to go get a Mc Job.

I have a Bachelor's degree and an IL barbers license. Does anyone have any job openings in the LA Area? I'm a fast learner, a great manager, and customer oriented.

There will be no home to Chicago for Thanksgiving. Instead, we're going to Ojai for the weekend. All for less than the price of 1 plane ticket to Chicago...

What a perfect weekend. I hiked 15 miles with my wife and my dog. We have a lot of fun together.

End of Sept. and it's still 100 degrees out today...

I've moved again. This time I picked up and went across the country to Glendale, CA. Looks good so far.

I just finished my move out clean. I am completely moved. What a wonderful feeling. I hate the moving process.

Packing again. This time I'm only moving 5 blocks though. Staying in the neighborhood, just cutting my expenses in half. I don't know why I unpack, it seems like I move every summer. Maybe I'll stay a while this time.

I'm so excited, tomorrow I'm starting school again. A second bachelors degree, this time Mechanical Engineering. Some fresh ideas, and new minds. I can't wait. It really is a time of change.

I'm leaving for Jamaica in the morning. I can't wait. A week of sun and sand in the middle of winter. Hopefully I'll come back with a tan...
