I was in Pittsburgh yesterday and am in Cleveland today. I have a speak whose name is Mike Myers (I expect him to do a Shrek impersonation at any moment) and he is a great guy. He travels alot, likes music, and is really low-maintenance. Needless to say, we get along pretty well. I stayed in a hotel I have visited many times before in Pittsburgh, the Four Points by Sheraton. Its in the middle of nowhere, the staff is awkward/elusive, the rooms aren't clean, and the hotel infrastructure looks like it was put together under quite the budget................ rrrrrrrrrrr......(car ties screeching...awesome huh?)
******SIDE NOTE******
You know when you walk into a hotel, house, or apartment complex and it looks like the budget just simply fell out from under the interior of the building crew?? Caulking jutting out from a crevice here, a slanted doorway way there, molding/trim coming off, or painting just unfinished in a BRAND NEW PLACE..... it's just ridiculous crap that you would think would get fixed in the final inspection (assuming there was one). I just don't really get these places that have that. I understand a budget crisis for a place, but COME ON. If this is a cocky/stuck up thing to be talking about, please inform me because I think it's just ridiculous. I guess I should just be thankful to have a roof over my head, right? This hotel is just a bit of a cheap place for what they charge. I have been to some shitty hotels, and if you're gonna keep your hotel shitty because you know its shitty, good for you and lower the price. If you're gonna have a shitty hotel built and pretend like nothings wrong with the interior and charge a ridiculous amount, then shame my friend.
******SINDE NOTE DONE******
Last week I was in Billings, MT, Seattle, WA, Spokane, WA, Boise, ID, and Portland, OR. I love the PNW tour. I mainly like it because I am close to home and don't have to change time zones. I had an easy (No, not that easy you filthy minded lil....) speaker last week who had a great personality and was fun to be with. Makes work alot easier to wake up to.We stayed in nice hotels, had flights everywhere, and had no troubles along the way. A good week. I got to experience in-depth two cities that I have really come to like. No, I'm not a meth-head, sorry Spokane you're not one of them. I'm talking about Boise, ID (I know, I think i called it a shithole in the past but things change) and Portland, OR. Boise surprisingly has a nice downtown with some nice restaurants and what seems like a decent nightlife. I had a solid burrito at Pollo Loco, walked around some art stores, checked out some small shops and decided I wouldn't mind stopping through there if I were on a road trip. Would I live there?? Nope. A visit would be just fine. Portland..... Oh Jesus. Portland is awesome. What a great city. I spent the weekend there with a bunch of gusy for a bachelor party and we had a blast. Portland has awesome nightlife, great restaurants, cool shops, unique restaurants/convenient stores and is probably the funkiest town I have ever been to. There is always something to do and if I were told to live in Portland, I would be down. It's a great city.
Well tonight I head to Albany. I plan to get some good food, possibly workout, and crash. I travel to Boston after that and have a LONG flight home. Sorry no picture are available for posting, but I couldn't really take any of the bachelor party, and spaced the blog last week...sooo.. NEXT TIME!!! deuces from Cleveland, Oh snoochies...
