mood:
every city has a population of pigeons.
day #1 of this little lifestyle makeover i'm planning. i'm not sure exactly what i'm changing, but something is going to change.
well for starters, no more of my mindless spending, etc. i need to save $$$ so i can move out of this shitbox of a state.
i'm having trouble deciding where i want to move. i don't know if i want year round warm weather (i sort of get sick of the heat) or four seasons. my choices are endless, but the following are my narrowed-down selection: nyc, san fran, houston, london, so cal. hmmm choices choices. let's see ...i think it's time for a pro's and con's list. yessum, that's it.
NYC

-four seasons
-lots of "stimulation" in the city
-good pay at animal clinics
-very likely could get a job at Village Voice (but would i want to work with Sarah? um no.)
-NYU
-culture, culture, culture
-far from Nick
Cons:
-Sarah (but its a big city, i dont *have* to see her)
-winter
-cannot bring car
-high rent
-would probably need a roommate, and i've had my share of roommates
-noisey (but i love city life...yarr)
San Fran:
Pros:

Cons:

London

BAHH what to do, what to do. who knows. for now, i am sending numerous resumes to employers in all of these places. i don't feel like listing the pros & cons for so cal, because i'm sick of this subject and i want to go outside and feed my sandwich to the pigeons. i really like how they move their heads to propetuate their walking. they even use their necks to turn right and left. i think i'm going to take one home. the cats would surely enjoy that.
