So the header on this new blog is kinda weird eh? Larry whipped it together for me quickly last night, but it’s basically Manhattan (where I am from and still gotta house around there in Jersey City) and where a I am now (La Jolla, CA).
Oh and a picture of me in the middle hitch hiking all the way from NY to CA.
Okay, not really, but it’s a cool picture right? Looks pretty genuine. I mean, if I was to look at that picture by itself I would be like who is that loser hitch hiking?!
So ya, I moved out to La Jolla a couple months back (around March) and this place is just beautiful. Although the weather in May, June, and most of July pretty much sucked (cloudy and shit), it’s just so damn laid back here.
NY was always like go go go, gotta do this, go there, see that person, etc. etc. Here it’s like okay, wake up, have a healthy smoothie, do some work, relax, eat, surf & mostly just CHILL. Can’t really beat it. And now the weather is just bonkers (bonkers was a candy right?).
So speaking of La Jolla, Larry Ostrovsky (my partner in crime) came out from Vegas here too. It’s been great. Not to mention Matt Trainer (our other partner in crime and ridiculous flash programmer) is out here too. It’s been great and met a lotta cool people.
So why La Jolla? That’s an interesting question actually.
When I was about 19 years old in 1999, I used to work for Compaq (which is HP now). My job was a desktop support guy who used to put together computers and fix them and stuff. I had to get certified in a software called Peregrine which was basically a desktop/helpdesk/asset management software solution. Guess where I had to go? San Diego!
I spent about 3 weeks out here and had the whole rental car, hotel thing going. So I drove around San Diego and just fell in love with it. I drove around La Jolla and was like man this place is gangsta. At the time I thought it was for the super rich and posh. I remember seeing commercials in the hotel for it like it was some high class place. Although it’s kinda situated like that, the water and the way it looked “tropical” was what grabbed me. When you are here it feels like you are not even in the US. I thought to myself, maybe I will live here one day, when I can afford it.
Anyway, so about 3 years later I switched companies to Campbell Soup and they needed me to get certified too. So I come back our for a month. Again, I was like man I wish I could live here.
So here I am, a full 6 years later, after quitting my job and starting my own company. Doing the bi-coastal thing. I kinda like it and don’t mind traveling.
Okay, gotta run now. More crack to cook up. 
p.s. – i was joking about the crack
