So here I begin...

Unfortunately life was not qute going according to plan up north.
The recession hit hard one of the places I intended to look for work, New York City.
Prior to that I had resided where I have now returned, Tampa, Fl.
I remember waiving goodbye to the staff I worked with just over 4 months ago as I left the business seminar company which had found me overcaffinated for about a year prior to my departure.
Just over a year ago found me in Philadelphia and then from there, to avoid the winter, I moved down here to Tampa knowing nobody or anything about the region, taking my phone interview using my cell phone in the Greyhound bus coming down.
It was a stroke of luck that I seamlessly started my job within the week I arrived and took it from there moving up the ranks in the company, and it took a certain amount of cockiness to go ahead and believe it would all work out the way it did.
Something about Florida always seemed romantic to me.
So much so that about 3 years ago I started dating this girl, Leigh, who I met over myspace.
Within about 3 days I was exclusive with her and within 5 we decided to head down here, for no reason.
It must have been something about the song "Margaritaville" that my father always had playing on the radio, and I know for a fact should the opportunity arise now or at anytime I will definitely take up a job as a pirate.
Philadelphia was an interesting city to live in.
Initially when I moved over there from my house in NJ, I moved into one of the worst neighborhoods in the North.
Spent about 3 months living like a rockstar under the influence when I realized oh man, I should probably look for work and so I started worked with a temp agency.
This led me to South Philly, finding an apartment in one of the more affluent neighborhoods that the city had to offer.
I met some of the most interesting characters in that city that I have ever met and one day when I have the time and attn span I will go more into detail.
Anyway, thats where I stand right now.
Sitting in this cube in Tampa.
Once I finish up this contract I'm working on I will be traveling somewhere exciting.
I'm as always looking to talk to interesting people.
