Branford CT

[chairmanhartman]

Well after four long years I have finally achieved my goal. I got out of Upland! Finally I have escaped! I currently reside in a quite little town called Barnford. Branford is smack dab in the middle of New England, in CT. The advantages of being in Branford is that it really is nice, and peaceful. I think I can formulate a theory of why this is so. One, racial homogeny, and two, religious homogeny. There is basically Jews, Catholics, and Protestants, who have had over 200 years to learn to get along, which they do nicely. We went to the town fair on Saturday, in total I counted 7 black people, no Mexicans, and 2 asians. It is really strange out here, I mean everyone is a white anglo saxon protestant (WASP). I dunno, the thought though that New York City is only 30 mins away is comforting. I know everyone is going to laugh at this but the thing I like the most about Branford is the fact that the air is clean, everyday when I wake up it smells like the day after a rain in Upland; by the way it rains here like 2 or 3 times a week (cool change from Upland). Although once again there are the things and people that I miss in Upland (i.e. Tatiana, Russo, Katie, The Cretocracy, Bryce and Josh). Well Russo is coming in 2 months, Tatiana is coming for the 4th in 9 days and then will hopefully move out here at the beginning of next year. So that just leaves Cretin and Katie, I dunno with any luck they will come to their senses and move back to the original colonies (although I dunno how Cretin would fit in too well here). In short Branford is a very beautiful town almost Utopian in nature (I'll post pictures later today), but I wish I did not have to leave behind all my friends and loved ones in Upland. Sigh I wish you all could be here bothering the prissy white folk with me. I believe the moving truck gets here today, not that I really need anything besides my laptop, cell phone, and a good book. But in the truck has all the stuff that will at least make this feel like home. I asked some High School chick if there was anything to do in Branford and she told me in a very snooty fashion, "Well we all like to go boating at the beach" (her tone sounding like she knew I did not have a boat). I can't believe that Tatiana is coming out here though. I'm going to try to give her the time of her life (your all perverts). I'm gonna try to get tickets to Avenue Q for her arrival on July 2nd and then bring her back to Branford on the 3rd and then back to the city on the 4th. Only 3 days and 2 nights but I get to see her none the less, and this means that I can get a job to, instead of flying out there like I inteneded. Although we could get by with me not working, we could really use the cash, and why not. I'm not doing anything here, so I think I should get a job so I don't spend all my time here eating and weeping over my friends in Upland. I sign up for classes in two weeks I have started looking now to see what I should pick. Ummmmm... thats about it, I'll post more later if I remember anything with my pictures.

I miss you all,
The Hartmann
