Dear Philadelphia,
I miss you. I want to let you know that I am sorry for neglecting you. For no longer wandering about you side streets and back alleys. I only go to the select places I like and tend to ignore what you have to offer. I never go near anything that represents the city because that would make me a tourist. I stay in my wonderful little slice of the city and enjoy my time with friends. or cats. I've been here for almost two years and have yet to attend a single "first friday". I've been to the art museum and even a phillies game to two but i certainly haven't been lame enough to see the liberty bell. I made sure to not go to live 8 and I left town on the day of the mummers.
So maybe it's time to get over myself and embrace you. Perhaps we will fall in love and I will turn into a "lifer". Marry a nice lady and come home to her wearing a velor track suit everyday. I'll start going out to dunkin donuts in my pajama pants and slipper at noon on a saturday. I will sit on a lawn chair out front of my house all day and yelled at the people I know when they drive by.
Or maybe I will give the city a break while I'm here and do my best to enjoy it. Take some extra time to check things out, time to explore. Either way I just want you to know that I do love you philly, on some level.
