I told many people I was going to Maryland for a concert this weekend by train. Then a huge snow storm moved in, and I had to cancel. There is a big difference between trying to go somewhere on a sunny 40 degree weather day and traveling in a snow nightmare. This is reason number one million that I need a travel RV van for road trips as trains and hotels charge huge fees for cancellations. I hate Virginia with all my soul, and the dream of getting away from the nightmare place for a weekend was my only joy. Why did weather reports not show this storm sooner?
I got the 300 min Gold Medal Bike Resolution badge from SunnyFit app! It is almost the half-month mark, and my New Year’s Eve resolution of adding a twice weekly treadmill walking to my weekly biking is going well.
Woot, I made it to a 180 day workout level for my New Year’s Resolutions app workout on SunnyFit. I normally go on a health kick for New Year’s Eve but seeing a friend’s death online really made my workout urge double.
RIP to my friend named Ed that passed away this week. He was at my wedding before my divorce when I was younger. I tried to get enough money to visit him in Texas in the hospital, but my horrible teaching job would not pay me enough. Thing one million that makes me hate Virginia with all my soul.
Plenty of New Years sparkle. I am Poedaughterz on the Highrise game or Poedaughterz on World of Warcraft for New Year’s Eve chat. My darn concert plans for Maryland this weekend got cancelled due to problems with weather at the Baltimore Amtrak train station that made the national news so it is going to be a digital video game New Year’s Eve for me this year. At least they refunded the ticket fees. I have one million tons of homework emotionally speaking for my master’s degree night school anyway so it is not a great time to be social.
I spent the night in a Maryland death hotel. I am moving to Maryland in the next couple of years, and was staying in a Days Inn hotel in Laurel, MD while seeing tourist sites, music band nights, and working on the moving paperwork. Recently Baltimore Soundstage had the Sisters of Mercy play so I like the area’s incredible music scene. (I have seen many other great bands there, this one just made it clearly the best music scene.) Currently Maryland hotels require a hundred dollars in deposit money BEFORE you even pay for the nightly fees. Many webpages on Expedia and other booking sites mentioned NOTHING about the fees making check-in hours longer and more of a hassle than I had expected. This is very dangerous as some exhausted travelers may not be able to pay fees, and may fall asleep at the wheel. Then as I went to my room the hallway was covered in crime scene tape! I heard gun shots in the night! Then the lobby was covered in fire trucks, cops, and ambulances in the morning for check out. Another murder had happened in the night where a husband killed the wife as she was staying with another man! Here is your community service message from Captain Obvious: “Dear men getting dumped: killing the female only destroys your life more!” If the bullets hit bystanders it is a worse problem. You were dating you don’t own her like a car. What the heck is happening at Maryland hotels that they are charging huge deposits, and are covered in murder tape non-stop? I wanted a holiday adventure, but not a disaster. Fortunately I was not hit by bullets, but I did not sleep great. However the room was pretty cutely decorated in my review I give it three stars because it truly tries not to be a murder nightmare. Sadly Virginia has been an even more disgusting horrifying nightmare than the murder hotel so I still liked Maryland better as Baltimore Soundstage recently had an amazing Sister’s of Mercy show, constantly books other great shows, and Virginia had nothing at all.

Nice decorations in the room even as it was murder-central.
Many jackets on for the cold.
All hotels in the USA have this Bible due to constant demon attacks. Just joking… Maybe.
I am going out of town to be social on Christmas and New Year’s and hear bands. I am also completely single, and hopefully will meet someone to date. I do plan to move away. I tried going out in Virginia many times years ago, and just because I was making the best of a bad situation does NOT mean it wasn’t horrible, agonizing, and a bad situation.
My phone is back on, but I have switched services and numbers. My old service gave me bad issues with replacement and technical support. My old number is still active for now yet I am switching over the 2 factor authentication on all my devices soon. If you have my old number you will need the new one soon. My e-mail remains the same so people can contact me there if they need to reach me.
I had to cancel my trip to Maryland this weekend. I had tickets to see a big reunion concert, DJ night, and was meeting friends. Yet my Google Pixel phone broke, I could NOT replace it quickly, and everything was connected to that phone’s two factor authentication. The travel tickets were on the phone’s apps. My concert ticket was on the phone apps. Then how do you get around after you get anywhere if Uber and Lyft are apps for the phone, and your cheap replacement flip phone can’t use apps? Buses don’t even have paper schedules to read most of the time, and most bus, subway, and train schedules are on the phone apps. Many cab companies that use the phone numbers don’t even take cash most of the time as they are now super expensive. Thanks to my old phone being garbage that broke my trip plans were destroyed. I was really looking forward to that show and seeing Maryland friends. Oh well, I will never forget how much better Maryland music was compared to Virginia music, and I can make new plans after I get a new phone. I can’t have a broken phone EVERY day of the year as I use it daily for transportation to work. Not having a phone is like not having one of your hands in modern day.
Modern phone irony jokes. Getting transportation, cab use, and phone use is harder in modern day.
