today’s weather complaint

Tuesday, February 3rd, 2009

It is snowing here again and I. fucking. hate. it.  I HATE IT.  Snow is the worst thing in the entire world.  It’s ugly, it’s dirty, it’s wet and messy and a big fucking pain in the ass to deal with unless you’re 10 years old and get to stay home from school.  For grown-ups, it’s useless worthless crap.

I have really been thinking of moving somewhere where it never snows.  The next time I move it will definitely be somewhere like that.  Two possible options are Atlanta or LA.  I think the weather in LA is better overall, but the state might fall into the ocean at any moment now.  And it’s so far away.  But it’s not like I have to stay here on the East Coast for anything.

I was talking to my cousin yesterday, who lives in LA, and was given the suggestion of Austin, TX, as a possibility, and I was all “Dude I can’t live in Texas!  Even Austin–as ‘liberal’ as it might be compared to the rest of the state–is still populated by Texans, and most Texans are Republicans, and I can’t live as one tiny little non-Republican in the middle of a whole army of them.”  And I know that I’d last about a week before I was forced to club someone in the head for some absurd right-wing statement.  So Austin is out.  No offense to anyone I know who lives in Texas.  You know who you are.

Atlanta is definitely cheaper than LA but it’s got worse weather, and I am thinking not as good of a music & photography scene.  Could be wrong about that.  LA is probably a lot more shallow than Atlanta. Although there are lovely people there too but given its primary industry, there have to be a lot of people obsessed with their looks.  Everyone’s a little obsessed but there are limits.

Anyway every time it snows some other warm part of the country calls me a little louder.  So if you have a decent non-creepy well-paying job you’d like to offer me, please drop me a note.  Nothing weird.  Nothing too weird.  If you want to buy my house while you’re making job offers, all the better.
