I am actually looking for a new place (to rent; can't afford to buy out here at my pay) and IB is one of the places I am looking. Right now I live off the 15 by Kensington (between University and Adams)
Somehow I had in my head you were a barber, is that correct or am I confusing you with someone else? I've heard rumors of good ones, and been to 2 so far.

The worst part is that I dont know this city, and so far from what Ive seen I dont want to know it :lol: So Im detatched from my family in more ways than one. But my step son is comming down in a few weeks, so Im looking forward to that he's a great kid.

As for moving down this way.... to each their own... but our lease is up in Aug. and Im looking to move futher north. IB is small..but in my opnion, its a damn dive! The beach is sooooo dirty its disgusting. If you want to swim, surf or just lay on the beach you have to drive up the Silver strand to Coronado. The beach is closed down here more often than not because the TJ river emptys into the ocean here and there is constant "raw sewage" contamination here. Then to make matters even better, they are dredging out the bay around the Cornonado Bridge and guess where they are dumping the tailings? Yep right out from the end of the Pier here.. so all the garbage that has settled on the bay floor is being dumped right here.

All that and franky the cost of renting down here is more expensive than up around OB. We have a rather ..umm.. ghetto 2bdr appartment.. its clean but it's nothing to be proud of hahah... and we pay $1055 a month. There certanly are more expensive places to live in SD but there are also much better places. I'd rather be cramped for cash and have a better over all "quality of life" expierence. But thats just me...

I am most definately not a barber HAHAH!! :lol:
I do cut my own hair.. with the skill of the barbers in boot camp. I've read on the yahoo forum that there is a great barbershop downtown Coronado right on Orange that offers straight-shaves... I've yet to get there my self however.

Maybe if I was a barber I could get a job down here. Acording to the CA dept. of health I have to go back to school just to perform phlebotomy to "CA standards" .. than and the only place that will hire me without being fluent in spanish is Balboa any way..I cant see going in debt for even a few thousand dollars just to work here a damn year... I cant wait untill were out of CA! Should be around the first of 2006.
