So it's 10am on the 28th.

And I'm about to leave for Washington.

This has been a very odd week. From saying goodbye to my brother to just packing up everything I need and spending time with Bryan I don't even know what really to feel right now.

The drive up there should take about 15 hours or so but because my parents are stalling we will probably have to make the trek in two days. We are still going to shoot for one long ass drive but for right now, a stop in Eugene, Oregon looks like a very viable option.

I will be making a video log of it. Every hour we are on the road we will take a small movie updating our progress.

I didn't get to hang out with Feles, Mango, Mike, Marion, Kenny, Bui, or anyone else on this final week because I was so busy saying goodbye to my family and getting all packed up. I'm sorry for that.

And yeah. I wont have internet for a few days/weeks so please don't panic if I continue to stay off line. Everyone that should have my cell number already has it, and if you don't go ask someone who does.

Goodbye California, I won't be gone forever.

So Bryan will be down here on the 19th and we need stuff to do for a week. I know we want to go visit Mango and Felkitty if we can but other than that and packing we're kind of stumped.

Help plz?

So today was a very emotional day at work. The new schedules are posted every Saturday night. My last day is the 18th and so I waltz over to the little pegboard to see what shift I have for the final day.

My name wasn't on there. That was the first kind of settling blow.

I picked up a shift for Wed. the 18th, because that was the last day I said I was going to be working.

But I wont work with a lot of these people ever again. Chris K said goodbye to me today. I will see him at my party but... yeah. I wont ever work with him again. After he left I had to go into the kitchen and just cry for a bit as Marion and Monica comforted me.

And I really wish I would have spent more time with Marion. I found out some cool things about her and looking back I really wish we would have talked a lot more. Sucks to find this out so close to my leaving. Oh well. She'll always be my baby's momma. But I guess now we'll have some slighty more interesting children.

But yeah. 18th is last day at work. 27th is last day in California.

This is all happening quicker than I thought.

So I got some component cables so I can play my GT4 in high-def now :D :D :D

This is the normal before HD shot. 1:1 sizing (no stretching)

This is the shot with 1080i enabled

(so many pixels)

Here is my monitor, kind of hard to make out but it fills the entire thing.

I was taking these shots with my camera, so they came out seven kinds of fucked up.

Also, Logitech Driving Force Pro makes this game so much fun:

It's really hard to get a crisp shot, especially with moving images. :(

Goodbye, Goodbye, Goodbye....
Ok. So not that emo really, but I like the last part.

There's nothing you can say
To make me change
My mind
Goodbye.

So today I am putting in my notice to leave work in two weeks. Bryan will be here for a week after that, then I will be moved out.

Seriously this time. We have turned in the application, I have broke down and cried in front of my parents, we have set the stage to move and we are going to do it.

That means I have about a month left before I'm gone from California. Forever? No. I cannot live away from here forever, in my mind it is the best place I have ever lived.

I'm sure I will make another goodbye post before I go, there is a lot of people I want to see and say goodbye too. I have lived the last 19 almost 20 yeras of my life here and it isn't until the past year in a half where I have met some of my greatest friends, and realize the friends that I've had are some of the best I could ever hope for. But I feel I have a chance to move on; no, not move on, I have a chance to grow by moving.

My brother has asked me to stay, but it was hard to say I still am going. And I'm going to miss every single one of you. Sure I'll be online and callable just like always, but there will no longer be those times I can go out.

I won't be able to go out and play football when you guys are back from college.
I won't be able to take Kenny to the movies and anime shopping with money he doesn't have.
I can't go bowling with Carlos.
I can't go on porn runs with Bui and Andrew.
I can't go to Mango's LANs.
I can't see Scott in a thong.

I wont get to have midnight noodles with Matt. I'm gunna miss that one a lot. He's gunna piff me or something when he sees that but it's true. He may be Felkitty, Feles, gaykitty; but through that all he is Matt, and has become one of my best friends in the past half year. I wish I would have met up with him sooner.

I don't think anyone from work reads this but I dread saying goodbye to all of them. Just about everyone that works there has been there since I joined 2 years ago. I don't want to list their names because I know I will forget someone. But goodbye to them all. Not now but in two weeks. They are a second family. From my kinky Mike to my little sister Monica, big sister Tenaya, cousin Chrises, and baby's moma Marion. Everyone there has had such a positive effect on my life.

I'm... almost trying to block out the day I have to drive away. I know I will be sad but I don't know how sad really. I go through two different stages. Either I break down and bawl, or I just... kind of go blank. I am still sad, but it's just too much emotion to display right then and I shut off.

Bryan will be here with me but still... I don't know what to do with it all.

So yes. Jan 18th is my last day at work and my last day in California is still a bit tentative. It wont be longer than a week after that I know for sure (Bryan isn't packing that heavily to get down here).

Yeah.

I remember I had a site design that had me peeking out into the 4th wall, and on my eyeball it said the words "I Love You All".

I do.

I love you all. Everyone.

You've made me who I am and now I have the chance to share this wonderful gift with a new set of people.

Thank you.

(also Jason, I still have this. I think you may want it back)
