Well damn. Graduated from school, Check. BIG check. I mean, I'm looking. Very very passively. Kinda dependent on the previous condition. But I have a few rosemary and cilantro plants in my apartment. Well that certainly happened. ...I think Im doing okay. ... ... ... ... ... ... Damn. :)If everything goes according to plan (Which it won't, and that's ok) within 5 years I'll be,
Gainfully employed somewhere that I don't hate,
Looking for a plot of land somewhere to invest in and,
Building a self-sufficient homestead somewhere cool.
Probably throw a girlfriend in there somewhere too, but that's really just up to chance. I date a lot, but very few girls stick around. I'm trying to figure out if that's because I'm picky, or because my personality is just incompatible with most women between the ages of 19 and 23.
I've fantasized about having my own cottage/lodge in northern michigan for a long time. Now I'm looking at lots trying to find a good mix of seclusion and accessibility. On that regard I'm really conflicted. I love the thought of a deep woods retreat, but at the same time, being able to walk into town would be sweet, especially in a place like traverse city. But I only know a teeny bit about real estate and next to nothing about construction.
My entire extended family is from the Keewenaw! It's certainly attractive, and Copper Harbor is like a 10 minute drive from where my Grandpa was born. The U.P. would be ideal if I wanted to live a more monkish existence. But there's something about the area around Traverse City. It feels like an optimal mix between wilderness and civilization.
