September 2007

A couple of weeks ago while at a Patterson Hood show, I made up my mind to move back to Georgia. This is something I’ve been thinking about for awhile. In fact almost as soon as I arrived here. I just can’t deal with the people here, or the winters with no sun, or the seven to one single male to single female ratio. Plus I have lots of friends in Atlanta and I’ve lived there longer than anywhere else in my life. And as Anaïs said to me, “You have family here.” not in the blood sense but in every other way. At the end of October it will be a year since I’ve moved here, numerous people here have told me how people hate Seattle the first year but grow to love it by the second. That may be true but I figure why wait for something that might or might not happen when I know Atlanta will be a sure thing. True there are many things I don’t like about Atlanta but then again Seattle didn’t deliver on those shortcomings. I still think this is a great place to visit and I have made some good friends here but the time has come to move on.
