Hope is a thing with feathers, That perches in the soul, And sings the tune without the words, And never stops at all.-Emily Dickenson

Obligatory Blog

It has been brought to my attention that I have been neglecting my blog site. Indeed, life has become a little more challenging to manage lately. Here is my obligatory blog:

The thing about looking for a place to live is that it is not entirely unlike looking for a mate. I have discovered that there are some similarities in the amenities I need in a home, and those I should consider when choosing a mate.

Disclaimer: I am looking for a new home; I am not looking for a new mate.

  1. I need a home with a fenced in yard to keep my dog's crap in, and strangers crap out; I need a mate with boundaries, to keep their independence and happiness in, and to keep other's and my shit out.
  2. I need a home that is conveniently located, near both my place of employment and my social network; I need a mate who is convenient in both location and emotional accessibility.
  3. I need a home that has enough space for me and my dogs; I need a mate who has enough room for me and my dogs in their life.
  4. And finally, I need a home that won't break me financially; I need a mate who won't break me emotionally or financially.
