I had high hopes for the possibilities at my last, short lived place of residence, but things didn’t go as well as I had anticipated. I won’t go into any details, as I’m not someone who enjoys dwelling on the past or causing drama, but I learned quite a bit from the situation and it allowed for what is now a much loved current living situation with the girlfriend.

Moving in with the girlfriend is a step I personally was ready for as we’d been in a relationship for almost 1 year and had known each other for over 4 years. I can undoubtedly say I’m very happy. Moving in with someone you love does change the relationship quite a bit and both of us have handled things well. Most of our relationship’s success while living together has to do with the fact that our personalities mesh well and neither of us sweat the small stuff (which is IMO is the major key in any relationship). We both have a ton of our own individual projects and neither of us prevents the other from completing them or getting things done. After all, by completing projects such as school or business and improving one’s self and one’s assets is good for the future of both parties. Our only issue is that we both have a LOT of stuff. As a collector of all things geek, I have a lot of comics, computers, video games, toys, sports cards and other relative material and she has lots of anime and a ton of clothing and Cosplay costumes. The solution would be a bigger place, which is in discussion and probably coming soon enough. Hopefully I won’t be far from Tempe area.

Speaking of Tempe….Wow!

I’ve lived in Phoenix almost my entire life and I proudly tell people I’m a Phoenix Boy, but Tempe is NICE! The youthful atmosphere, clean streets, newer buildings and convenient public transportation to name a few things get an A and gold star on the proverbial city report card. Given, not all of Tempe is nice, but the percentages in comparison to Phoenix is no comparison at all.

That’s it for now on the “Personal Life” level, lots of “Personal Media” and “Business AZHP” posts coming soon.

Met the girlfriend’s dad at Tempe Martketplace and had sushi at Kabuki. He’s the typical military man type of guy but seemed to be pretty laid back. I’d say it went pretty well.

While at Kabuki I got a text message that said:

“I spy a Frank Castle at Kabuki” from Maja, who happened to be there celebrating his birthday.  So we hung out for a while after dad left and ended up at Patties bar in Old Town Scottsdale  (which is a huge pain in the ass to drive and find anything in)

Maja + Drinks + Dancing = Funny

Drunk girls who no one knows  grabbing the girlfriend’s arm trying to get her to dance with them is funny too.

Good times.
