On The Road Again; or, I Gotta Go See About A Girl; or, Homeward Bound

This blog will be on pause for a few days, though to be honest, given the slower posting schedule I seem to have set for myself, a pause might not be noticeable. But while previous unplanned breaks were usually the result of a lack of work or content, this one comes as I load up what possessions I've decided to keep and drive the 1,559 miles from Los Angeles to Houston. It's a one-way trip. I'd never planned on living in Houston, but I guess that's why it makes sense; most plans have a way of fixing themselves, and this is where the current is carrying me, if I can mix two bad metaphors in one sentence. (Hi, potential employers!)
I've completely loved my time in L.A., and wouldn't trade the people or experiences for anything, but it's time to go and see what life has to offer in another place. In the words of John Hughes, "I haven't disappeared. I'm standing right here. I'm just not in Los Angeles." It's a big world.
See you when I get there.

Dan Carlson, come on down!
p.s. Your girlfriend is a dope photographer.
good luck to ya man
You won't regret it. She's the real deal.
We're waiting for you! :D
I'm completely stupid in love with you :)
(I can say that here, right?) :P
I hope you'll find Texas agreeable. Speaking as one who left and has returned, I kind of like it here.
(Hi, potential employers!) - Bwahahaha!
When you arrive you will have to start using the word "fixing" properly. You even spelled it wrong. You wrote "most plans have a way of fixing themselves". Round here we say, "Darlin' I'm fixin' to leave for work. You better be fixin' to give me a kiss".
I hope you see the difference.
Peace, Love & Light
So tonight, at the RiverOaks theater, Melora Hardin and hubs are doing a meet-and-greet after the screening of her directorial debut, You. It starts at 7pm for $10, and it seems like something you would enjoy. The event, I mean, not the movie. You will probably hate the movie.
Great post! Welcome to Texas! Yee-haw! :)
The food is good and cheap in H-town. Can't really argue on you leaving LA, since my life has been fantastic since i left for London.
Happy trails! Have a safe trip. :)
