I was in bed last night thinking that maybe it is time for me to make a commitment. Settle down. No, I am not talking about marriage, hell at times I am not even sure I want a girlfriend. I am talking about committing to a place. Planting some roots. I have spent the last few years moving. Running really, and maybe it is time to decide to live someplace for a while. Time to decide to buy a house. Time to make some permanent friends. Begin to live life and not just cruise through it. Who knows, maybe this might be the initial step required to get to a real commitment, or at least a girlfriend.
My lease is up soon and I know I am going to move. I am just trying to figure out where. I have many options, and to be honest, that may not be the best thing. I could probably move to NYC or London without even changing jobs. My boss would love if I agreed to move to Seattle. I could also stay here in DC and just move about 15 miles into a more vibrant neighborhood. Someplace that is more Blue than the pseudo urban mall life I lead now. Add in the fact that I have to decide whether to lease again or buy a place and the decisions are beginning to pile up. Can you hear it? The clock is ticking and it keeps getting louder.

You may want to hurry if you are going to buy! Prices are going to start going up a bit soon. AND, if you keep it for more than 24 months, you can only win! Relationships are so often a poor financial investment, but REAL ESTATE is fairly safe, at this point.
In some ways I think the clock ticks for us all. If it makes you feel better I am still trying to figure out where I belong in this world, without the financial means to really do it as of right now. You have to go where your heart leads you sometimes. And you are a wonderful person, and you will not be any less wonderful if you don't find a girlfriend.
Choices Choices Choices. I suck at those. Good Luck.
That would be pretty cool to be able to live wherever you want and keep your job. I would think it would be harder to buy something in NYC than say...Seattle. The good thing about Seattle is that the market here is expected to stay pretty healthy, with all of our technical and even construction growth lately.
If I could afford it...I'd take NYC...but Seattle is great....gee you're not kidding...the choices are staggering...good luck with this one.
