Why do I live in Ohio?
Right now I am sitting in the would be workout room of the beach house my uncle rented for break ($40,000 for 2 weeks), using the Bowflex as a typing desk.
The workout room is where my immediate family and I have set up camp. I sleep on the most comfortable 2×6 cot in the world next to the glass doors that lead to the pool deck. From there it is less than 200 feet to the beach where took the picture you see here.
Its been gorgeous all week, with temperatures ranging from 55 to 78.
Why do I live in Ohio? I hate the cold, and the snow, and the streetlights. I love it here.
I hope that when I “grow up” I can afford to live someplace warm. I hope that my mother’s right in saying that I’m going places. I hope I don’t die in Ohio.
We’re leaving in 2 days. I don’t want to, but at the same time I want to be home for New Year’s Eve. It’s one of the few holidays an atheist can celebrate unabashedly.
I want to say happy holidays, but that would seem odd to me. So instead I’ll say that, to every one who spent their holiday in unsatisfactory weather: you have my sympathies.
