don't leave. |
First:
It's the damn fog It is ridiculous this year. Apparently on wednesday it was colder than anchorage alaska. Fuck.
Second: We are trying to find an apartment right now. I am so sick of apartments. I want to buy a house. But WAIT, what is the median fucking home price around here? OH, I don't know, about SIX HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS. I went to art school god dammit, I don't make that kind of coin.
So when you give up on buying a house, you realize that all the apartments suck in this town... Mostly because I am tired of living in an apartment. I want a yard. I want a yard and a dog. I want a yard and a dog and a barbeque and a dishwasher! I demand it! I don't want to pay 2000 a month for a victorian that I don't own. I am sick of your stinking narrow halls and crappy plumbing. Fuck you VICTORIAN!
This comes from the fact that becky and I have been apartment hunting for the past month or so. But, since house prices are so high, good apartments are quite tough to come by. When everyone my age can't afford a house, they either get a loan they can't afford to buy one, or spend their disposable income on a better apartment and wait. TRUST ME, there are a lot of people my age in this freaking city.
Ah what to do, what to do. Just a friday morning rant.

a) you bought becky a beautiful ring
b) you are married
c) you have great friends who talk to you and each other through this thing ... but more smack talk is needed for sure
d) you have nice loving parents
e) people want to visit the place you just blasted
f) and as most people agree ... its not LA
g) we work in a pretty kick ass industry that can replace us any second .... sniffle sniffle
i am goona weep in my pilla now
peace ml
:)
Yah, I suppose the grass is always greener huh?
I'm going to add to jer's little rant this morning. Why o why do all the clean, well groomed people pass up the
seat next to me on the morning bus. Do I look too
intense to sit next to? Are there friendlier looking
people sitting behind and infront of me?
There is one person, that seems to take comfort in my
presence however. He's the one that smells like he's
been soaking his cloths in urine for the past year.
He's the one that can't wait to get to his stop on 9th
street, so that he can calm his anxious feelings with
a good hit.
He so eager for the morning commute he can't sit
still, tapping his finger on the seat below us. I love
that tune. Wait, is that shit breath I smell? Ummm,
gotta a love the morning commutes.
mmmm shit breath.

Atlanta is a beautiful city and it is still AFFORDABLE! You can buy a cute little brick ranch built in the sixties and trick it out with all of your mid-century modern furniture from Knoll and Herman Miller. Yeah, the traffic sucks, but where doesn't it?

Posted by: brett at August 19, 2005 3:25 PM1. matt where in the hell are you commuting to? shit breath...GROSS.
2. jeremie, i will be sure to support you and becky one day. or i'll live on your couch..either one.
3. we will one day all meet up at someone's second home. statistically, it's inevitable that one of us will have a vacation home.
4. i don't want to shave my legs anymore, but i still will, b/c it's the right thing to do. well that, and one day i do in fact want a boyfriend.
5. it's been foggy in LA too. my tan sucks.
Time to go to your happy place, man.
PS I don't wanna shave my leg any more either.
Yeah, move to the ATL. It's cheap! We just saw the most kick-ass house ever for under $200,000. I realize that the population here is not made up entirely of graphic designers and we may not all have awesome tans...or fog...but everyones very nice, you'll find a cheap house, the food is good (friggin'-A, Jer, there are so many damn places to get a good burrito), you'll see all the same bands and you may even find a job you like.
Big Boi, Andre 3000...and, ih Bobby Brown await your arrival.
