I moved last evening and while I didn’t exactly travel far from my previous home things are a bit different.

My new pad (not sure its pimp enough to be called a pad) is definitely bachelor all the way. Its one large room (actually its not that large) with an alcove kitchen and a separate bath. Some would describe it as old or maybe run down but I perfer to label it with more choice keywords like rustic, colorful or… full of character!

Now don’t get me wrong my new casa really isn’t that bad. It has everything I need and is actually an improvement over my last residence; (an illegal shoe box in Los Angeles where I lacked everything but a mini frig and microwave).

Here in the Virgin Islands with my only partially obstructed views of Magens Bay and the BVI’s I can enjoy a home cooked meal on my very only gas range while my pans pre-soak in the kitchen sink.

After moving my things in last evening and setting up as best I could I took a long look at my new home. After recovering from a sense of dread that set in when I realized my place resembled that of an iconic run down apartment that every old man on TV resides in alone, I decided to perk up.

So what if my place is a wee bit depressing or that I currently have only water and bologne in the frig. The important part is that its my haven, my place to relax and unwind and as long as its a safe place to crash at night and watch my hour of TV a week, I am set. It is after all only a 3 month lease - after that who knows where my shoes may fall.

So I recorded a radio commerical today for the few St. Thomas Virgin Islands Mcdonalds.

Its a comedic 30 second spot with a guy repeating some not so great spanish words leading up to a “Breakfast Burrito” line. Its somewhat campy but I think it will turn out well. I’ll try and post the mp3 of it if I am allowed to once I get a copy. If your in the area and want to hear it it will play on W.G.O.D, BUZZ and a few other local St. Thomas stations.

Two females rent an apartment. They like the place, its got a great view and its in a nice part of town. The only problem is whenever they touch a light switch, a ceiling fine cord or a wall outlet they got a nasty little shock.

Doing what almost any renter would they called the land lord. Enter 3 days later at an unannouced time the repairman.

A bit of this and that, a couple screws and exposed wires later and the repairman exclaims ITS DONE! I’ve Fixed it! Then adds the subline will you see if you still get shocked. d

One unexpecting brave girl steps forward and extends her hand. A shrill fills the room. The short out is not fixed and a shock rains down.

The repairman is perplexed, how could that be? He touches the same spot repeatedly and nothing happens. Why doesn’t he feel the same shock?

So its 2007 everyone! 3 more years till 2010 wow, another decade is almost over… I remember when everyone was freaking out about the Y2K Bug.

I am looking forward to 07, hopefully it will be a bit more fruitful for me and I’ll actually do my taxes on time this year.

There’s really no point to this blog but to apologize for lack of interesting posts and to let everyone know I intend to post more frequently.
