I would consider that a big/far move too.

I dont really know you, but you seem to be more suited for the south for some reason. I think you'll be happy you moved.

good luck again!

gavin - 8-12-2008 at 02:13 PM

well, like it or not, im a city person
i dont know much other than living in the city esp. philly
i def. say "youz" and "wooder" and all that in spite of myself
but, i have alot of good old friends down there like 5 mins from my new house
i just cant have my kids here anymore
i dont feel right about it
they deserve more than this city seems to be able to give kids
when i have to try to explain a shooting at the end of my block to an 8 year old, i know its time to roll.
this city is killing itself slowly but surely
it was real bad in the mid 90s
then it went through a time of being not so bad
now its getting as bad if not worse then it was then
i cant have my kids thinking that this is what life has to be like
i've been going through the motions, slowly dying inside for years here
i will do anything in my power to make sure my kids dont have to do that sort of thing
its too much
i need some quiet
my head is tired of being on 90mph all the time
im getting older and its starting to wear on me
it was fun to be "angry" and "jacked up" all the time when i was in my 20's or whatever
i dont have it in me anymore
i need some peace

plus, i have the makings of a new band happening real soon after i get down there
for whatever twisted reason, im itchin bad to do it again

i hope you find your move as fulfilling as i did mine.

Dave - 8-12-2008 at 03:03 PM

thats not really that far.......

Jeff is moving like 4 time zones or something.........

Speaking of Jeff is your band playing another gig before you head out, it'll be the first/last chance for me to see you guys play

gavin - 8-12-2008 at 03:10 PM

gee i didnt know we were comparing the distance of the moves me and him are doing?
thanks for the observation

50 miles from Philly seems far to me.

Discipline - 8-12-2008 at 03:51 PM

Gavin + possible new band = Great fucking idea.

tireironsaint - 8-12-2008 at 08:26 PM

Best of luck with the move, it sounds like you're definitely doing the best thing for your kids and that's admirable. Hopefully it'll be a good thing in a lot of other ways too, even if it is as big an adjustment as you're expecting.

DaveMoral - 8-12-2008 at 10:58 PM

Geoff, I agree. Philly is not the place to have kids. I grew up in a farm town and Philly really messed me up nerves wise. It wasn't even the stress of the crime rate... just the stress of the way people in the metropolitan areas of the East Coast live. Just always moving and angry and impatient. I can't fucking do it.

Never had road rage like I did in Philly before. Portland has been WAAAAAY better so far. Works a little slow right now, but damn... I'd rather be struggling with work here than consistently working there and tweaked out all the time.

you sumed it up well man
im not so shook up about the crime and all that
its always been here and always will
i just cant have my kids around it
if it was just me and kathleine, whatever
but factoring that the kids will have to grow up in this shit is not something i can live with.

im glad your new place is going well by the way.

and thanks to everyone for the kind words and well wishes.
i love you guys and appreciate this board more then youz will ever know

Very cool. And, Dave, we're trying to set something up for before we leave, we'll see. Freeborn might be on my heels out there, so we may try and keep this shit going from Calgary.
