i might try to sell some of the rest, if i have the patience (i don't have the patience)

I'm sort of winging it. I have a nice amount of money saved up to hold me over should any emergencies occur....and a CDL(only Class C but still better than nothing) for EXTRA backup. And as far as knowing people. I actually know two doods up there already. Most people IRL suck anyway...so yeah...not too worried. I know a guy who is pretty bomb at SF3 so that's all I really need for now...other than my girlfriend. I'm in like a group chat thing(Discord) with my Chicago SF3 group...so I'll be in contact with them regularly as well...

[!@#$%!]

what... new girlfriend? or did the old one return?

[EVOLghost]

I'm back with the old one. We worked things out.

[!@#$%!]

oh. nice!

Good for you! Hope you have a really good job or lots of roommates

Oh... you should not wing it unless you're close to home and have a firm exit strategy if things get rough. Seattle is expensive, and if you don't have some peeps to live with it can be rough going.

I have a bunch of friends who still live in the city. Some are doing quite well, others have had a hard time. I trust you'll do fine, but still, I'd recommend securing a job right quick.

Yeah....waiting on my resume from my friend. She's proofreading it n making changes....

I have a list of jobs that I'm going to send my resume to. I'm just really hoping I get a gig with transportation n logistics. That's where most of my skills are in.

[EVOLghost]

Yo. In Washington. Currently staying by the airport. Took us like 39 hours to get here(with stopping, walking dogs n stuff).gonna meet with some property managers today. Wish us luck!!!!

[!@#$%!]

break a leg buddy

[_tunic_]

ha! I also wanted to say that. But seriously, now is the time to still brake a leg as long as you guys still have healthcare

[dirty bunny]

I hate music nerds. Am I a music nerd?

[Severian]

Good luck in Seattle. If everything crashes and burns, I know many people there who would put you up. For serious. If you're cool. Hopefully that doesn't happen. But pm me if you lose everything or something.

[Severian]

I ended up getting that job I almost got, did for a while, then didn't get (then did get). Not much more money, but no more freelancing bullshit for this guy. It's been a while now, actually, but I forgot to mention it. Portfolio is starting to look pretty goddamn aces, as is my résumé.

Is this a "Should I Stay or Should I go" reference or are you taking to me?

[!@#$%!]

yes ja ja ja

that song has some bad translation spanish choruses

so there's this argentinian band that sings it in spanish and retranslated sorta

as "i am cold around the eyes"

the original line was "should i cool it or should i blow"

which means "debo calmarme o largarme " i think (should i calm down or fuck off)

BUT the recording guy had a mom from ecuador they called for translations and she translated literally

"yo me enfrío o lo soplo" which is meaningless in spanish

but TENGO FRÍO POR LOS OJOS is hilarious and good

thanks to los fabulosos cadillacs, whom you know probably from their song of frequent use in many film sountracks, "matador"

[Severian]

Baaaha! Thought I was a Clash fan, but didn't know about this. Never paid attention to recording of the song, never paid much attention to the Spanish in the song, and also my Spanish is so rusty it's fallen off. Hah!

here's a bit of nonsense for your trivia collection

so a few weeks back the following people were in my town, on the same night:
- Maradona !! he was watching the PSV football match
- Bryan Adams, yeah who cares I know. But still, kind of rare that he chooses to play a concert in my town instead of anywhere else
- Bruce Springsteen !!! Not sure what he was doing, probably having dinner. His daughter lives in a small nearby town. She's into horses and that town has many of them. And if he's visiting, they always go to this one Italian restaurant.

cool huh? Must be said that I was abroad when this all happened :-(
But still cool that I'm having the same pyama's as Maradona bought!
He spent maybe more than a month on football camp with the team from Saudi Arabia that he's now coaching, in a small town near Eindhoven. And he was in the press all the time, such as:
- he went shopping in local Hema department store and bought a pyama, but no sausage
- some events were organised where he would show up, like meet and greets, and of course he would not show up but cancel at the very last moment
- he would spend most of his time at the hotel bar
