My first 2 weeks in Boston

Hey there people, sorry I haven't written in a while. So, I have officially lived in Boston for 2 full weeks and I must say, life is going pretty damn well here. My roommates are kind of boring and don't seem at all interested in talking to me, theres a lot of wierdos on the subway, and I feel a bit lonely trying to develop friends out of all the people I have met.....but its still been a great experience so far!

I went to the Sox game this past Wednesday and i must say, there is nothing I'd rather do in the world. The atmosphere is electric, people cheer like hell for the Sox and boo the hell out of the opponents....just like they should. So much different then sitting in Safeco watching all the fair weather fans boo their own players. Rooting for your team is more than just rooting for your team, its rooting for what you believe in, for the city you love. Just like friendship, your not always going to agree with what your friends are doing, but you should ALWAYS support them and never "boo" them because they underperform or do something stupid that you don't agree with. Americans in general could learn a lot about loyalty from Boston Red Sox fans. And not just how to root for your team when its winning.

I've also seen a lot of cool things, and I LOVE sitting down by Boston Harbor on Long Wharf, just dangling my feet over the edge and watching all the boats and planes and people and such. A perfectly soft little breeze rolls around, the water is calm and clean, and the 360 view is awesome. Boston has so many beautiful places, but this is my favorite. Parks all over the city, water falls, water shooters, fountains....everywhere. Pretty stuff I must say.

I joined the APA pool league over here for the summer, just as I did in Portland for the spring. I was nervous about getting stuck with a bunch of dbags or boring ass old people, but i totally scored with the people on our team. 5 guys who seem a lot like me who love to laugh and have a kickass time. There competitive as hell too, which is good for me. I won my first match, as did our team. Looks like Boston has to watch out for "Dirty Harry's!"

I got a job at Cambridge Brewing Company, cool place. Brew ALL their own beer in house and don't serve liquor of any kind. Busy place too, I should make killer money there for sure. Plus, there not corporate, and disagree with the whole corporate set up. THey don't care about tattoos, piercings, the clothes you wear, or what you look like. Its a nice change from what I'm used to having. Great people there too, hopefully I'll find some people to hang out with outta that crowd.

I'm having the time of my life over here I must say. This place is amazing, confusing, fun, and downright different from anything I've ever been accustomed to. Which, obviously, is the reason I'm here. That and to find out what I want in life. Chances are, I'll be heading back to the west side after summer is over, but I have 3 months here to accomplish what I want to accomplish and to find out what my path in life truly is. I'd be crazy to think that this is where I'll spend the rest of my life, but its something I have to do and something I WANT to do. I miss the hell out of my little best friend Deuce. A day doesn't go by that I don't miss his little kissies, his playfulness, and his loyalty to me. One thing I've learned so far here in Boston, is that loyalty means a lot to me. More then most people. Loyalty and honesty. Two words I will live by for the rest of my days.
