on the eve of the closing
i am listening to this streaming 80’s station. Bon Jovi is blasting right after an “unplugged” version of Animal from Def Leppard. Those guys were pretty great, eh? Anyway, here I am, about to move again. I made a promise to myself that this time, I wouldn’t move again until I bought a house. I set that goal for myself when i moved to Boston in 2001. Little did I know just how fucked up the housing market was up here.
Oooh, INXS is on… AND THEY COULD NEVER TEAR US A PART… do do do do.... do do do do…
ok, so in 2002, i get so seriously ill. looking at death in a serious way, I reflect on my life. what haven’t i done? i had another record in me… that one is coming out VERY soon. i wanted to maybe get married and start a family someday (jury is still out on that one) and i wanted to own my own house.
so, i started looking this year. after 8 months of searching through the garbage in Boston, i found my dream home. it it is a fricken fortune, but with room enough for renters to help quite a bit on the mortgage. and as it turned out, it was only 4 houses from where i live now!

g’nite!
