New Florida Home!

Man what a couple of months this has been! Back in the end of June my girlfriend and I had decided we had enough of Minnesota and the horrible weather and winters there. It seems like a good idea last year when we moved from Florida to Minneapolis to “see real seasons” and “play in all the snow” but it was all bull crap. It was fucking cold! So cold in fact that most if not all winter I could not leave my house with out being in pain. I grew up in Key West, Fl and have lived in the tropics my whole life.

Anyway after what was one of the worst winters of my life I managed to convince my girlfriend that moving back to Florida would be a much better idea than another year in Minnesota. So here I am back in Florida! St Petersburg to be exact. I now have a wonderful apartment that is waterfront on Tampa Bay and the rents still cheaper than Minneapolis.

What I did not expect was how much of disaster this move has been. When we first got here everything went wrong. It’s been damage control for the last two months trying to just get settled. Just this week I think we finally got the last box unpacked. The office is still somewhat of a wreck but is usable now as tings are slowly finding homes in our new place.

But what has really has really saved me is affiliate marketing! No other job I can think of would allow me to totally vanish from work and all work related responsibility for 2 months and still get paid! Seriously I haven’t done jack shit work related and I am pretty upset that I have lost so much time and that I am now in the mental state I am in. Its hard to just jump back into working when you haven’t for the last two months.

I hope that next week I will finally be able to spend some time at the desk and start damage control on all of my sites and campaigns. Yes everything managed to still run fine but I am sure something horrible has happened. Probably 10,000 spam comments across my wordpress installs too.

I will start posting more usefull stuff again (if I ever did) once I get back to work and start making more sites and campaigns, and sorry to all of my online friends about vanishing for a few months.

    Congrats on seeing the light. Lived in Islamorada for some time & while I can understand moving from Key West, Minnesota is…. wow, that’s all I can say. :)

    Tampa is pretty cool. My folks live there & the few times I’ve been down from Charleston, its been a blast

    I’m in NY and I love the winters. You just have to find a winter hobby to get threw it, Snow shoeing, ice fishing, skiing , snowmobiling….. Plus, there is nothing better then having a white Christmas! I lived in FL for 2 years and I felt the same way about there summers. I felt like it was tooooo darn hot to even my place in the summer.

    I guess, maybe, home feels like home no matter where home is.
