MOVING? JUST DO IT?

I want to thank Jenn for letting me be a part of her series of guest blog posts. Doesn’t she rock? Anyways, I’m Brandon Zeman, I have a blog that is probably boring, I started Chicago Tweetups and I’m on Twitter. If you’re still interested, say hi sometime! I look forward to your comments

Our lovely Free and Flawed decided she hated me just enough to have me blog after her mom. Not an easy act to follow, that I can assure you. Anyways, I struggled for hours with what I should blog about here. I thought maybe I could write an interesting piece on the inner workings of a guy’s mind- but I’m not one to pigeonhole all men into distinct behaviors. Derek suggested I write about why guys like geek girls- but I didn’t think my girlfriend would appreciate that one (she’s not a geek either ). I even considered writing about some of my experiences in college and in my fraternity, but I want Jenn to still have readers after I’m done.

So finally, I’m watching House Hunters on HGTV last night (don’t judge). A couple from Chicaago was moving to Portland, and then it hit me. I knew what I would write about! It was so obvious at that moment. Jenn is leaving today for some time in LA, so I figured that would make a great topic for my post. Whether it’s the bright lights and hookers of Vegas or your big dreams that send you to New York, moving to a new city has got to be one hell of an experience.

It’s something I want to do at some point, I think. I LOVE Chicago, as I know many of you do also. But there’s something so exciting about starting new somewhere, isn’t there? It’s almost like going away to college- you’re likely in a new town surrounded by new people, completely on your own. You’ll have to adjust to a new job, find your way literally and figuratively, and somehow find and make new friends. Yikes.

So who knows, maybe this time next year I’ll be on the other side of the country. Being recently laid off, the timing might be just right.

But enough about me-have you ever wanted to up and move? Have you actually done it? What were your thoughts leading up to it and how did you adjust to your new locale? I may need some tips
