Bored...

Single life is different... after 7 years in a serious relationship, it's definitely weird learning how to live on your own again. On top of having to go out all the time to meet people (and spend $$), it can become quite a stress to keep yourself in positive spirits.

I have been working on a couple side projects - just trying to make a few extra bucks. I have been slacking lately, but started working on my Sony PSP blog again tonight. It's generating a little bit of money, but it hasn't been worth the time yet. Google just picked it up officially about a week ago (Top 10 ranking for "playstation psp" - not too shabby).

I'm also looking for an apartment right now, but I'm hearing that occupancy numbers in my area are in the high 90%'s (yikes). I can afford an apartment most anywhere, but I'm trying to get one that's relatively new and closer to work so I can trade in my Sonata for a truck. My work isn't exactly the greatest neighborhood to live, but then WHERE IS? I even tried calling an apartment finder service today and they were pretty much jackasses. They wouldn't do anything over the phone; they preferred that I go waste 2 hours of my time sitting in their office before showing me anything. I would've been fine dealing with them over the phone and meeting at the complex's that I liked and/or that they are suppose to find FOR ME.

I've been fortunate enough with all of my friends so far:
- A buddy and his wife are letting me stay at their house for now.
- Another buddy invites me over for dinner with him and his girlfriend once a week.
- Another buddy is up for anything, anytime, but he usually doesn't have any money to go out.
- My area 'mom & dad' (I'm from SLC, UT originally and my family is still there) have been great also.

Enough rambling for one night... hopefully I can get back in the habit of posting and/or working on my side projects. On the other hand, that probably won't help me find a new girlfriend.... (DOH!)
