are supposed to
come true
most of the songs are written about california. leave the east coast. become a surfer or something.
but see... my california is boston.
yep. boston, massachusetts... home of the red sox.
the nation's second most expensive city to live in.
i know, i know... boy, can i pick 'em! but that part of the challenge is not the point.
the countdown has begun.
i'm about 3 weeks into this adventure... and just really starting to internalize what i'm actually planning on doing.
in may of 2006. i'm moving to boston.
shit. i just typed it out for the first time. i just made it real. made it tangible. provable. made it possible to think that i might come back to this blog sometime later in my life and know that i failed or chickened out.
no no. positive thoughts. baby steps. but oh i'm all goose-bumpy now and i seriously cannot wait.
...here i am, though:
counting down the days.
The grin on my face right now is ridiculous. Sure, I'm three years late. But I'm here. I am in Boston, starting grad school tomorrow.
And while I would love to spend some serious time tonight blogging about this new beginning...
I have homework to finish!
:cheese:
