9.23.2007Three things I've learned during my first week in Minneapolis.
#1 - People drive like fucking maniacs.
I'm glad that my roommate is fierce as fuck on the roads. Otherwise, I'd definitely still be waiting to merge on to Hennepin at the Walgreens. I've almost been killed at least half a dozen times, but I'm slowly getting used to all the honking, swerving, and swearing.
#2 - If you say you're from "The Cities" but really live in a suburb, it's not the same.
I'm guilty of this. But seriously, if you live in the cities and want to hang out with someone in the suburbs, it becomes kind of a commute. You can't spontaneously pop over to someone's house without a half hour drive (especially with that bridge out). It's worth it most times (especially with Matz, Carissa, and Kecia), but it's the half hour drive back to your place when it's really late and you're tired that kind of sucks.
#3 - Everything is slightly less safe, less cost-efficient, and less serious.
I definitely could have walked home from work at one in the morning when I lived in Onalaska. Not here. I could get plastered for $16 in Onalaska. Not here. But the thing is.... I've noticed that most people take themselves way less seriously here. Weird.
I live in a glorious metropolis filled with culture, business, art, people, technology, and life. I really don't think I could have found a cooler place to live. School starts October first. Game on.
Comments:
i learned face that one must be fierce on the roads to survives "the cities". remember that cuntbag that almost ran me over, you know... the one with the fingernails that could scoop out my eyeballs and sunglasses bigger than me? i had to be fierce. grrr.
And this is why I stay far far away from the cities. I like my small town drunk on $16 dollars life! It is well worth it!

#1: Once you get used to it, driving is almost like a video game. The more you swear, the more fun you're having.
#2: I say I'm from the cities all the time and you're right. Its a bitch meeting up with someone else who actually lives in the cities. Rule works both ways.
#3: Be smart with your drinking. Figlio's has $2 happy hour all day long on Sundays. You'll be sitting happy for real cheap.
I am so excited for you, I can't even begin to explain.
