WELL I WAS BORN IN A SMALL TOWN

I went to eat brunch with Bryan today and then drove on over to Peet's to pick up my paycheck. As I was heading back home, I noticed a few things: the tranquil sidewalks of Millbrae, the multitude of trees lining East Hillcrest, the fact that I was actually driving ...

I know I complain a lot about Millbrae. I know I complain a lot about suburbia ( Read more... )

Trucks are badass.

Trucks are for people who don't have enough money to get their own cars so they have to use the trucks that once belonged to their grandfathers.

I have to agree with Jeremy...

And as for the city... Maybe it's just because I grew up with it, but I guess it'll be a novel thing at first, but you get used to it pretty quickly and it's really not a scary place... Especially some place like Columbia (because it's kind of a bubble, unlike NYU, despite all of the town-gown intermingling). The subways don't rattle all that much and the really tall buildings are further downtown :), plus public transportation kicks the ass of driving.
