Selling out

Not only am I getting married this September, but we also just bought a house in the suburbs. That’s right, I’m selling out. Completely. I’m leaving the fast(?) streets of Squirrel Hill to settle down in suburbia. And you know what? I can’t wait.

Turns out I’m just lame enough to leave the excitement of city life. Don’t get me wrong, I’m going to miss having local bars and shops within walking distance (I hate driving.) But there’s something I hate even more. Noise. Sounds funny coming from a guy who can’t wait to buy the drum set he’s been dreaming of since he played in this first band, but it’s true. The fact is I don’t want to hear my neighbors having parties or yelling in the hallway or stomping their feet up the echoey 100+ year-old staircase anymore. I feel like I’m living in a dorm. So we picked out our nice little two-story with the deck and we’re getting the hell out of dodge.

Wait for the next installment of this saga coming soon: “Something’s broken and now I have to pay someone to come and fix it.”
