Finding My New Apartment

I was talking to a co-employee about our apartments. I heard from him that you can get a decent apartment for just a little bit more than I was paying, which was $330. Keep in mind, the cost of living in Lincoln, Nebraska is a lot cheaper than places like New York City. That put the thought of moving into my head. The place I was living in was a small studio apartment, about 393 square feet.It was built in the late 1800′s. I had been living there for almost 10 years and realized I was getting very complacent in my life. The place was small and cramp with all the things I had been accumulating since I had been living there. I needed to make a change! I loved the location of it, but that was it.

I made my mind up that I was moving. I looked through apartment classified ads and craigslist daily. I wanted a place that was at the most 12 blocks (preferably 9) from where I work. It also had to be at th most 2 blocks north of it because I lived 9 blocks north and wanted a change of scenery. I had a bunch of places written down. The irony of all this work was that the place I would eventually get, I saw while biking passed it. My max budget at first was $360, it crept up to $375, $400, $420, $450 then back down to $420. I wanted either a 1 or 2 bedroom that would fit into my price range. I did this for more than a month.

On August 5th I rode my bike around the area that I wanted to rent from. Since they don’t have prices on the for rent signs, I had to get a good look of all the places. If I liked it, I would write the phone number and address down. I did a grid pattern. My workplace was on 17th st, so I looked west to east from 10th st to 27th st and north to south from 2 blocks north to 6 blocks south to a major street called South St. I covered most of that area on that day and had to stop because it was getting too dark to see any good details of the “For Rent” places. Not done yet, read the rest…

I’m back and better than ever!

balloon-yellowAlso, large and in charge… Big fish in a small pond… Huge dick in a small vagina… You know the saying! Yes, I finally got my internet back. Windstream (my phone provider) sent someone over and sorted out my problems. It turns out that the wires got mixed up.

I’ve been working a lot and don’t have that much energy and time for this blog, but that’s about to change. I have an inspiration now. I’ve just moved into a new place! I had lived in my old studio apartment since late September in 1999. I decided to move out before the 10th anniversary. The place I just moved into is a hundred times better and I am not even exaggerating. I post pictures of it later.

Oh, yeah. I did make this blog to show my comic bookSide Frown I’ve been too lazy to work and improve on my drawing skills. That’s going to be different. I live in a much bigger place now and it won’t feel so crowed anymore.

Welcome back me, Phet!
