Ultimately, it depends what you want out of life.

Do you want a yard, lots of closets, and the treasures of a city less than an hour’s drive away when you get bored? Or do you want hundreds of restaurants, bars, and galleries filled with the most fascinating people on earth and the entire social/intellectual/artistic/professional landscape of the city at your doorstep? Do you want to live where new coffee shops get people excited, or in a center of change where the future is being reinvented? Do you want to be part of the action, or watch it from the suburbs on TV? Do you want to live in a place that’s only of interest to the people who live there, or in a city that thousands possibly millions around the world care about? City living is for people who want to play on a big stage, and for those of us who care about that, there’s nowhere else.

If that doesn’t concern you, I agree you’re better off saving your money.

I grabbed and modified that post for NINTR from peterfeld because I just got back from New York City for the weekend and it really makes me realize that even though I moved closer to Boston, finally, New York City trumps Boston in almost every way imaginable. However, since I am a Boston bred boy, I do love me some dirty water. It is very hard for me to imagine living anywhere else…but I guess the only question on my mind now that I’m back is how does Boston get away with calling itself a city?

Read about my last time in New York, here. And it’s impact, here.

Hello fellow Now is not the Rhyme readers. Sorry I haven’t posted anything new in a while.

It’s because…

Hopefully for good. But, given what happened the last time, I don’t have much faith that it will last. (I partially almost wish my parents would get raging pissed and kick me out for good, so I feel like I won’t have something to fall back to).

I will return to my regularly scheduled posting hopefully very soon.
