Shades of permanence?

Where are you originally from juju?

I'm not a fan of Arkansas, but one of the coolest things I've ever seen happened there.

One night, my friends and I got bored, and we decided to drive to Memphis from St. Louis. It was the middle of the night, and we happened to exit off I-55 in Osceola for a piss break. So there we were along the side of the road with no civilization around, and I happened to look up at the sky. And there were all these stars...billions and billions of them. I had never seen a sight like that in my life. Good stuff.

As far as moving, I don't like the b.s. that comes with it (packing your life into boxes, calling CC companies to change your address, etc.), but I like the "challenges" that come with moving. Particularly with moving to a new city. I like learning about the city, driving the streets, figuring out who's who, creating a new home, etc.

And this is where the internet really does simplify things. I was able to check out apartments, set up my utilities, and read the local paper and TV news. All because I could access the information online. If I hadn't been able to locate this information online, I honestly don't know how we could have pulled off such a move. I know that it would have cost us a lot more money and a lot more time.
