bleh
I won the lottery to run in the NYC marathon. But I am putting off doing it. I just can't do it with all the new things in my life created by yet another move. I know if I had stayed in SF I would have probably been able to do it. But I guess its ok to put it off a year. It has just made me realize something important. I don’t want to be constantly moving around. I want to be in a place long enough to really get to know it, to really make some good friends. It would be nice to loose these extra 10 pounds I've been carrying around as well. I started to loose weight consistently every year that I was living in SF. Now I have to start all over again. I am tired of starting over. I am tired of buying the same appliances and furniture and whatever else I need over and over and over again. That is not what I want to do with my time, setting up house.
I want to feel a part of a place. You can't get to know a place in 6 months, or a year. It takes years. To know the people and the streets and the tides and which way the wind blows. I want to start getting somewhere besides places. I want to work, exchange ideas with people, I want to learn.
