Smog Life

No, I did not move here to follow Paul Magers . He can tell some serious news though and I think he is a welcome antithesis to Los Angeles news. (Another post maybe)

Why am I here in this state destined to fall into the sea?

1) I gave Minneapolis all I had to offer. Minneapolis to me was like that person you know that you should really break up with but you don’t because it is was too comfortable and you do not think that you will ever have the strength to start over again.

I was in this horrible rut. Get up, go to work, go home, eat, sleep, get up, go to work eat sleep. Benchmarked with random outings and pretending that my best friend was not in love with me.

When my non-profit sank into the red and there was get up, go to work, go to job number 2, eat perhaps, sleep barely enough I new that it was time to go.

2) I honestly have not done anything outside of my comfort zone since going to an arts based high school as mentioned in Hookers on Stilts. Not since sixteen, that is way too long to go without risking something big. I didn’t want to be on my deathbed in the Powderhorn, Cochran or Hale Page neighborhood and think to myself “Wow, I haven’t done anything risky since I was a teenager. Who is going to feed all of my cats?”

3) I moved here too because I fell in a Norah Ephron-like love with a former high school mate. Like how I saved the real sappy reason for last?

So that is how I found myself here.
