Ok, I'd first like to say that alot of the time at Corecomm was pretty bad. It was hard to deal with alot of the managerial bullshit and bueracracy but I guess that's probably the way it is with alot of companies that are reasonably large. In any case, they paid the bills for me, for my three years here in the Lansing area.
I'd like to proceed to the people that I met here. Absolutely top notch, across the board. Some of the friendships I have made here will be life long, I think. From tech support to business services, it's been good for me, both personally, and professionally. The job has not taught me anything; I've learned everything I know from the people. Big time praise to those who have helped make these years in Lansing far better than I'd ever imagined they could be:
Marissa , my fiancee and in a couple days, my wife. She's everything to me, makes me a better person. I am blessed and lucky to have her.
Shelby , my first real friend in Lansing, we had alot of good times, happy he's gonna be back this weekend, both him and Emily. Both good people who had alot to do with making my time here more enjoyable. More recently, I have had great friends who have no only been there for me to hang out with, but have offered their homes to let me crash with them in the time I've been homeless:
Jake ,
Dan ,
Adam , Dylan, Sam, Chris, Pink. All of you are the bomb, and I hope we can all get together and drink again on my return trips to Lansing, or your trips to the Detroit area. Then there are the others, those who I would consider friends, no matter what they consider me: Alia, Mona, Darin, Potter, Evan. All have been interesting and wonderful people to be around at various times in my time here in the big L.
I'm sad to leave this job, and this town, not because I have an overwhelming love for the job or the city, but because the people here are all friends and I absolutely cherish that.
A new chapter begins. Hopefully, it gets better from here...

So yesterday, Sunday, October 3rd, I drove back to Grand Rapids to go see Bear vs. Shark for the second time in a week. Originally, I was to go with Jake, but he misplaced his check and/or spent it on hookers named Bill. In any case, I ended up driving back there on my own, with no plans on who to go to the show with. Called up Luke, he ended up scraping together enough money to go. We went to Vinnie'ss, had some beers there. I hate going back to GR and NOT hitting Vinnie's, as it has become a homebase of sorts. For those that don't know, Vinnie's is the bar my dad was at when he got the call that my mom was going into labor with me. So it's a family sorta establishment. From Vinnie's, we went to the old favorite bar, Mulligans. I whipped some ass at pool with Mike, this kid Todd and Luke. Was a good time, put away some beers, and got out to the show.
Show was at the DAAC. We went to the door to ask who was on, BvS was next. The guy at the door told us to make sure to pay as they were watching everyone. Three minutes later, we both walked in for free, right past this idiot. Bear vs. Shark was awesome. Probably the most intense and energetic of the shows I've seen them play, even if the sound was awful (and it was). The lead singer was insane, doing alot of Iggy-like posing. He crawled through the crowd, He rolled around on the ground. He came back to us and put his arm around Luke and sang. Super intense and into the music, that dude is. As Luke put it, "He is an instrument in that band".
The fun began after this. We hit Vinnie's again for last call, had a beer. Then we went to Club North as they were the only bar we knew that was open. They now have about 12 pool tables there. We ran out of money for pool, but kept drinking, and played three ball with three cue balls from other tables (mind you, there is only one other table in use). As we are playing, Luke taps a ball on the table, someone at the tables next to us said not to do it. Of course, Luke did it again. The guy got mad and told us to leave. We weren't leaving and protested. He proceeded to grab our FULL pitcher of beer and dump it out, along with both our glasses. Turns out this guy is the owner. He asked us to leave, this is when I got involved in the argument. I can understand him getting mad about us not paying for pool (his claim that tapping the ball on the table will fuck it up is bullshit), but this nonsense with dumping our beer out was too much. I berated the motherfucker, he told us to leave. I told him to give my money back, and I'd be happy to leave his shitty bar. He said no, then he tried to muscle me out of the bar. This was humorous, the motherfucker wasn't moving me anywhere. He was a rotund fella, I could have taken him had it come to that. However, it didn't. He let off his headlock as I laughed in his face. One of the patrons at the bar gave me $10 that this fat bastard tried to take from me. Howerver, I put it in my pocket (thank you random girl, I'm glad you hated me enough to pay me to leave). The fat guy then proceeded to push me out, though I told him I was going to leave anyways as I had gotten my money back. See, fat guy, it's the principle of the thing.
Next time I go to GR, first place I hit up is Club North. I wanna have some more fun there.
