Frankly, as opposed as I am to the Bush Admin, I was getting a bit fed-up with Paul Martin's frequently hypocritical complaints about the US. Plus I've always thought you guys were getting screwed on lumber.

I'd still probably vote liberal because of how much I love gaydom, however...

WHich way is your riding going to go?

Plus aren't you in college yet?

I'd still probably vote

Patrick

You still in the Bay Area with the rest of the hippies? If so, how's it going for you?

by tlt29 on Jan 23, 2006 8:07 PM CST reply actions

Yup.

Well I love my job. And I love the extracurricular activities that comes with living here (we have a res. at yosemite for memorial day, we're staying in a cabin at North Tahoe this weekend...)

Of course the cost of buying a house is by far, the biggest beating. An attorney and an engineer shouldn't be wishing doom on all their homeowner friends so that a 3/2 could drop in price far enough to be affordable for less than $4500/mo.

So far, my top-5 and bottom-5 of the bay area:

Restaurants. I didn't realize that I could go so long without really missing Tex-Mex.
Extra-curricular activites. Skiing, hiking, biking...
Moderate liberalism tinted with libertarianism is the rule in the South-Bay.
Public Transportation. I take the train to work and enjoy it.
Driving. The psycho drivers in California drive Civic's or BMW convertibles, not Hummers. That's less likely to kill you.

Bottom:

Restaurants. No Alamo Drafthouse, Trudy's, or Salt Lick...
Females. Married or not... the girls in Austin are wayy hotter.
Communism is the rule the further north I go.
Cost of living.
Climate. Overrated. Give me a thundestorm and a few 104 degree days.

If you don't mind, I'm forwarding this post to my friend who moved from Austin to SF about 2 years ago (also a Ranger fan). I think he'd appreciate it. I was out there in September when it got to 108 in Austin. It was gorgeous out there. It was during the leather festival. Takes all kinds I guess, takes all kinds...

Been in Sacramento area since August

I thought I'd miss the Bay Area, but I don't. It was good to get away (although I'm in San Jose quite a bit visiting my family and friends).

The best thing about the move was being able to double my square footage, and still pay less for the new house than what I sold my SJ townhouse for. Housing in the BA = clusterf@#&!

Walz

I voted for Crispin Colvin (L) in Elgin-Middlesex-London.

My riding will be close, but it'll probably go Conservative. It's a somewhat rural riding. I just don't want Harper in power, he's a holdover from the crazy right wing Canadian Alliance.

I'm going off to college probably next year. I'm majoring in Music (trombone performance, big money in that) either at McGill or U of T. I'm playing in the National Youth Band in May in Calgary. One day I'll win an orchestra audition and play trombone for a living if all goes according to plan.

So...

You'll be a trom-boner.

Looks like your guy got creamed

Though the combined L NDP GRN vote would have won.

Once again, the far left parties f everything up for the sane center-left party...

Uhhh...

This is a retarded thread. Is there not another blog out there for yall to hang out in. There has to be a Gaydom blog out there. really we are here to talk sports. You could at least talk about hockey or something. Maybe hackie sack. Chase, you rule.

You don't have to read it

And technically, we are here to talk about Rangers baseball so any hockey talk should go somewhere else too....

Waying my options

The Rangers talk is what brought me to the sight, chris, but obviously that is not all that is discussed. We should however keep it to sports though. I am not a hockey fan by any means, but between hockey and "gaydom" I choose hockey.

And I realize I don't have to read it, and you don't have to write it. All I'm saying is write it somewhere else so I don't accidently run across it again.
