Choon York City

See that light over there? Top-rightish, yellow, kind of. That's the light on in my new bedroom. I think.

Jokesies. I have no idea where I'm at in relation to this picture. But that is not the point. The point is that I'm in there somewhere, dreaming of tentacles, lazy eyes, and unnecessarily sharp, plentiful fangs.

But with the help of google, I can show you things we thought only aliens could see:

I can see the entire city from out of my window at the moment. My new roommates are awesome, and the people in this neighborhood must have just watched that Pay It Forward movie or that one commercial with similar ideas, because within seconds of being in the street a woman offered me her parking spot, a man opened my gate for me, and another gentleman thought I looked lost and asked me if I needed directions. The vibes are good.

I've been here one night, and every time I think about a future here a gnarly gaggle of butterfly's start moshing to metal music in my stomach. And of course these butterfly's are cross eyed and fang-tastic and eat all the other butterfly's that waste their time bonging pollen instead of listening to the new IWRESTLEDABEARONCE album.

OK so this post may or may not stop making sense a long a time ago. That's a good sentence. Matt's Elly would like that sentence.

Here's the thing; this is a huge step for me and a giant roundhouse kick for Choonimals. I don't really have a game plan, I don't really know what to do, but it feels right. I have my Sharpie markers and a million little Choonimals running around my brain, waiting to escape onto my sketchpad and inevitably onto some new shirts.

I went into the Zumiez at Woodbridge Mall in New Jersey yesterday and saw our Choonimals shirts being sold there. I felt happy.

I referred to this city as The Emerald City on my facebook page yesterday, and said that my next step was to find the Wizard and give him a Choon shirt. But Miss Madyson politely corrected me and told me that her city, Seattle, is "the Emerald City". So fine. This is the Topaz City. And the Topaz City Wizard is about to get Chooned.

El Fin.
