I'm here; I'm finally here, in Chicago!
This is the city that I have always identified myself with, even before I lived here previously, and certainly after I lived here 5 years ago.
I'm sitting here, in my new apartment, with nothing but a laptop, my cat, and an airbed. All my books (more than a ton...seriously) will be delivered sometime soon. I am connecting with people...GOOD people...that I haven't talked to in...forever.
It is still sinking in how horrible Florida was. It did me good to see it, and to live there; don't get me wrong...but it almost destroyed me...ye gods! I was almost cast by the wayside like refuse from the meal of some small and petty god; bones and other detrius as my companion and peer.
I have no furniture, and no dishes; so I sit on the floor and drink wine from the bottle.
I have to say that one of the reasons I wanted to stay in Miami is because of the beautiful women. This, however, is not a concern in Chicago. I have seen more beautiful women here in the last 12 hours than I remember for the last 6 months in Miami, so problem resolved. The ONLY issue is the weather.
I HATE being cold. I left 5 years ago mainly because I hate being cold...the thing is, Miami has grat weather, but it comes with a PRICE the price is your SOUL.
Seriously...I have seen and done things since being in Florida that I would NEVER see or participate in here in Chicago. Do you know why?
The people are BETTER.
That's right...I said it. Chicago people are BETTER than Miami people.
I haven't lived in a whole lot of American urban environments, and in particular I have been told that I would enjoy SF, NY, SEA, Portland, Houston, NO, and LA. All very probable...I could find my niche in any of those places. I can only qualitatively compare, however, Miami to Chicago. The result is a NUKE to FLORIDA.
Thank heaven I'm back.
Obama '08...I will laugh my ASS off if McCain carries Florida. Florida should be one giant retirement and vacation community with NO electoral vote or political authority. Make it a fucking park and let's get back down to the business of being decent.
