A Little Background

About 2 years ago I was moving into my first apartment in Boston and was standing in line at U-Haul when the lady in front of me said, "I can't wait to get back to Chicago. I've only been in Boston a few months and I can't get out of here fast enough!"

This lady was renting a small van and leaving most of her furniture behind. She couldn't get out of town fast enough. I don't know what her entire story was but I know now that I should have taken that as a good sign to turn around and go home.

The guy working the counter at U-Haul was drunk. He wasn't even just a little bit buzzed, the guy was hammered. He reeked of booze. He was stumbling and slurring his words. He was the only guy working on a Saturday afternoon and was also responsible for bringing the moving trucks up front for the customers. Another sign.

I have lived all over the United States but I have never lived in a city that is as misrable as Boston. No other city even comes close. I've lived here now for 2 years and I've tried my best to give it a chance and find reasons to like it and I just can't. The other day I started to make a list in my head of all the things I can't stand about this city and the list grew so long I thought I could probably write a book on just the reasons why people should think twice before moving to this city. New England in general sucks. Boston is a lot worse.

Now before I start my list I already know that I'm going to get some asshole Bostonians that are going to say shit like "If you don't like it then leave! We don't want you here anyways... blah, blah, blah."

My response to you is, Shut the fuck up! First this is my blog. I don't owe you an explanation why I'm still here. I'll just say I have reasons why I have to be here right now. As soon as I possibly can I will be moving, I kid you not.

I'll leave my comments open as I would like to hear other peoples' stories. If you don't like what I have to say you are more than welcome to post a a semi-inteligent response. Remember, you don't have to agree with me or even read what I write. This is my opinion and I'm entitled to it.
