I'm tired of this shit! I've got way too much going on, and I need a fresh start. It's time to leave...
...to leave New York for California, that is.
Many of you know that I've been dealing with a separation/divorce of late (it still sucks, but I'm doing better than I was when I posted about it in July). As a result of the soul-searching that ensued in the weeks following that chain of events, I sent my resume around a few places, and one of those places bit.
I've accepted a job with HRTV, a horse racing television station based out of Santa Anita Race Track in southern California (specifically Arcadia, about 45 minutes northeast of Los Angeles). I'll be producing videos for their website, mainly, as well as having my hand in a number of other things.
It's a big decision, and I'm a little nervous about the cross-country move and leaving the state I've lived in for almost 25 years, but I'm confident it's the right move, both professionally and personally. It gives me a fresh start, and plus, me being the degenerate horse racing fan that I am, being at the race track every day won't suck!
I'm not moving for a couple of weeks, and I don't foresee this affecting the Smith character or my participation in APW, but I wanted to share the news on the same day that I got it. If any West Coasters out there have any tips on adapting (other than "avoid the earthquake that's a statistical certainty to happen in the next 30 years," of course!), fire away.
