So I was talking to Kim, another of my wise friends, and she was saying how much she liked Raleigh because it’s like a big city but without all the big city problems (there had been a significant amount of alcohol involved so that may not be a direct quote). I said that I felt the exact opposite. She asked what I thought were the things that I was missing out of big city life and all I could come up with was a dinner theatre and amusement park.

After giving it a little thought the next morning I realized that it was possible that she was right and I’d been riffing on Raleigh all these years because I was unhappy with my personal life. The fact is that if you look around a little there’s quite a bit to do in Raleigh. So I’m going to just let it steep for a little while and see what happens. The really funny thing is when she was talking about it I kept thinking how it sounded like me talking about KC.

Raleigh really is situated pretty nicely between the mountains and ocean. the only other place in the US I can think of that’s similar is LA. It’s not really Raleigh’s fault that I never go to either, ya know? The weather is decent… not cold and not Florida hot.

UPDATE: I just happened to read over this post and realized that was the lamest fucking conclusion to a post ever. Sorry, Dr Almasi. It wasn’t his fault.
