life update

it's been awhile, so i thought i'd post a little life update.

i quit my job at Ohio University where i was the videographer and editor for WOUB, a local PBS station. i really liked my job. a lot, actually. but i couldn't stand living in southeast ohio anymore. i spent the first 24yrs of my life there... it was time for change. 

i live in cincinnati, ohio now. i work for apple inc at a creative. i'm basically a personal trainer for members in the One to One program. basically i work with customers for 50mins every hour helping them learn how to use their computers. its fun, but it sometimes reminds me about how much i miss being in production. 

i live with my friend emily. we met at OU through our common friend Jenny Groza. at first we had opposite work schedules and never saw each other. but lately we have been working during the day and spend nights together. we're fun and i like living with her.

I just got back from Cupertino, California (San Francisco Bay Area), home to Apple Headquarters. I was sent for a week of training for my new job. it was a lot of fun. i learned a lot of cool things and met even cooler people. yeah, my grammar is awesome. 

i'm not sure what else to update. i work all day. come home. watch tv. go to bed. i don't really get on my laptop anymore when i'm home. good thing i bought a brand new one. 

i need a hobby. 

new home

After about 6-weeks of living in Cincinnati, my poor car was broken into. My 30gb iPod video, TomTom GPS, and portfolio of CDs were stolen.

i lost around $700 in personal items and $100 to fix the window. Great way to start off living in my new city. oy.

new toy

omg he won

History was made Tuesday night. Obama won. America's first black president. I can't tell you how awesome it was to be a part of this.

The election was over by 11:00pm. 1996 was the last time it was clear who our winner was. 1996!!!

I think Whitney mentioned this on her blog... I hope the enthusiasm doesn't fade away. America is in a bad place right now. We need everyone on board to turn things around in the next four years. 

My mother always says to me (especially around election time) "you should have went into politics, nicholas." then whitney brings up the fact that she wants to do something different with her life. something meaningful and important. don't we all. my mind has been going crazy. i'm 24yrs old and i have no idea what i want to do with my life.... but working in a retail store doing computer training all day is not it. i always knew this was temporary. but i would like to at least have some sort of goal to be working towards. an idea or something. 

maybe going back to grad school for political science? idk... maybe this was more of a rambling entry than anything else. but i'm back baby.

i swear if we lose in november.....

convenient

big thanks to the MoveOn.org volunteer on the sidewalk on Court Street this afternoon. 

I was able to change my voting registration to Cincinnati on my way to lunch!

i <3 campbell brown

let's do this

after a brief vacation from politics... i'm fired up again!

whitney cracks me up

so i'm chatting with whitney about last nights DNC events.

she informs me that on MSNBC, there was someone holding a poster behind the commentator that read "Bring Back Crystal Pepsi".

i died laughing at the idea. whitney said she wished she could find a screen grab of it to blog, so i hopped on google and found one!

check out this old commercial for crystal pepsi:

iLife update

I'm starting a new job in 3-weeks. I'll be working for the Apple Store in Cincinnati as a Creative.

I've lived in Athens for the past 6-years while attending Ohio University. The time here has been amazing. I have so many great memories from this place, it will definitely be sad to leave. But it's time. Six years is a long time, all of my friends have moved away, and now I will, too.

I'm looking forward to living in a city. I have lived in Southeast Ohio all of my life. Several of my friends from college and even high school live in Cincinnati. It will be great to be with them again as I start this new chapter in my life.

I enjoyed my time and job at WOUB for the past 2 years. Before that, I worked here as a student for 3 years. I have learned a lot both personally and professionally. I will miss it for sure.

I've already started my Farewell Food Tour. I'm determined to eat at all of my favorite places before I move to Cincy!

I'll miss you Athens. I'll be back for Homecoming... duh :-)

UPDATE: Per Greg's request, I've changed the title of this post from Life Update to iLife Update. Apple FTW!
