The story thus far.

     People of earth, how are you?  I hadn't had a solid blog since I arrived so I decided to update my status here at Hermosa Beach, CA.  Today was my first day at the beach, 77 and sunny, and it was almost empty.  I need at least a base "tan" at this point, I stand out as a dead giveaway outsider.  I joined a gym and paid a few months of fees, so I'm pretty locked in here.  No turning back now!  The nice thing out here is you get the national coverage of Charlie Sheen and then local coverage as well.  That takes up a good portion of my treadmill time.

     As far as the job search goes I guess you could say it is as expected.  I interviewed for a "wine consultant" opening at a wine store down the road and was offered the position, after scoring a 20% on their wine test.  It must be my boyish good looks.  I also got a call from Saachi and Saachi where I applied who does all of the advertising for Toyota. I am waiting to hear back about a possible interview for them which would be unreal.  I'm not getting my hopes up though.  I apply to any place that interests me, the hardest part is waiting for a call back.  So basically right now it looks like I have a possible job, but still waiting on better offers.  Just trying to relax and take it all in for the time being hoping something good comes through.  Screw this economy.

     I am still getting used to the time out here, I keep falling asleep at 8 and waking up at 6.  Need to take some coffee at night and force myself to stay up.  Last night everyone went out for drinks but I hung back with Jayson.  I am trying to show some restraint for my liver and bank account.  There will be plenty of parties down the road, right now it's more business (excluding beach time, that's for sanity with the job hunt).  I hope my trip so far shows everyone you can do whatever you want when you commit to it.  If you are happy with where you are at you need to stay, if not, then by all means go.  Anyone can do it, and it's not too late.  Love you all.
