Back on the air

Hi everyone. I had been without internet for a small period of time. As anyone may imagine, I had been busy as well. First off, I am ecstatic to be back in the land where bagel means bagel and not came off a conveyer belt. I am still not 100% done setting up my new place, but a few small odds and ends and it will be done. I am also getting settled in at my new job.

I have my preliminary observations from being around the Jersey City area. First off, it is extremely easy to get into the city. The PATH trains were painless and cheap to use. The fact that my apartment is a short walk away is also a huge plus. Work is also really close to my place. Since I have free parking at the hospital, I park my car there during the day and avoid all the pesky alternate side rules that Jersey City is infamous for. Driving around Jersey City itself is notoriously difficult, everywhere is filled with traffic. My new gym is in Hoboken. The spray tans abound there. I had forgotten how amusing guidos can be.



I had forgotten all about these noble creatures.

I have to spare most gory details of my California horror stories, but most around me have gotten the idea that it may not be as it seems out there. My conclusion (read as final indictment) on the state of California is as such. Most have a conception from the movies of LA and San Francisco being nice places. This is true, they are. What they are unaware of is how spread out everything is in that state. There are miles of nothingness surrounding both and it is a messy, bullet-riddled jungle. The town I lived in was one of many just like it. In California people do not think much of driving a few hours each day. It was something I was unused to. Also rye bread did not exist. This reason alone is enough to have the state condemned. Living in daily fear of my neighbors was also something I was not used to. I made sure my presence where I lived was barely felt. There is still much subtext which I do not feel appropriate to posting, but I will just write how the passive-aggressivity was largely unappreciated. Plus all the white trash that the state was founded on will not be missed.
