Soon Enough...

And lo, how the mighty have fallen.

The Beginning of the End

While I have not had much desire to write lately, I simply also have not had the time to write. Tonight I found a few minutes to do so, and here I am.

I move out in two days. The full impact of this has not quite hit me yet. I have not been nervous about it by any means, and thus far this week has simply felt like a routine cleaning of my bedroom. As I look around my room now, boxes stacked to my waist, I try hard to picture myself not calling my parent's house home.

At some point I'm sure I will be overtaken by emotion as I realize I will not be coming home to this place every day. Hopefully that happens before Sunday, because if it hits after I move out I won't have any way to cope.

B3 out.

Moving On and Moving Out

It is time.

For countless years I have been wondering what it will be like to live on my own, and while I have been late to this party compared to many of my friends, I am finally making the move to Findlay.

I was not expecting my search for an apartment to go so quickly or so smoothly, but it did. After less than two weeks of searching I found a great little place at Sandusky Square, exactly one mile from downtown Findlay where I work. This is amazing. If I only drove to work and back four days a week (remember I work at home one day) and the to the grocery store once per week, I would theoretically need gas in my car once every three weeks, if that. Living so close to a city also lets me do things I never could near Haskins: immediately partake in downtown activities, visit resturants on foot, and generally experience a small-scale downtown lifestyle like I never have been able.

More than a new location, I'm looking forward to getting comfortable in my own space. With great new freedoms in my apartment comes much greater responsibility, particularly with regards to financial well-being and how I balance my free time. I expect to have lots more free time in my new place; this is mainly from not having to drive two hours every day.

I'm moving September 27th. I will definitely be back on Critically Correct after that, and I expect Critically Correct will become a very active way for me to keep up with all my friends and family. Lots of cool stuff coming up on the horizon. Stay tuned!

B3 out.

Great New Music

Thanks to Last.fm, I've fallen in love with a lot of great new music lately.

A few of my favorite tracks:

Raine Maida - "Yellow Brick Road" (Last.fm Page)
Silvertide - "Blue Jeans" (Last.fm Page)
Stereoside - "Sinner" (YouTube video; link may die in the future)
Breaking Point - "Goodbye to You" (Last.fm Page)

I downloaded the first three songs recently, and Breaking Point's Beautiful Disorder album. Amazing new music for me to sink my ears into this fall. Check'em out.

B3 out.
