Life in the south...

So Bradley and I have moved to New Orleans just in time to miss THE BEST SURFING OF THE YEAR back home! Fucking hell!! Being surrounded by water and not a surfable wave in sight. This is some straight up Alanis Morissette irony up in this bitch! I am totally being a whiny bitch about this because I was convalesced all last year and couldn’t surf! Then when I was finally functional enough to shred, the waves had been as flat as a Taiwanese lady boy! Now FINALLY we have WAVES! And guess what! I am in FUCKING New Orleans! UN-BUTTFUCKING-BELIEVABLE!

I feel like I have the worst case of blue balls since the beginning of time! I have spent my day smoking pot, having sex, jerking off, having more sex, and complaining so much that I wanted to punch myself in the face for being so fucking annoying!

We have been here 5 days and I am still not ready to call this place home. It’s kind of scary, the weather sucks, and the people talk weird. Seriously though, New Orleans is not what I expected. Not that I really had any clue what to expect coming here… What the shit does a surfer need to know anything about Louisiana besides the fact that you are 1000’s of miles from the nearest wave!

We’ve been planning this move since September when Bradley first got injured and decided that he wasn’t going to spend the next year sitting on his ass doing nothing. He actually wanted to start school right then and there! It took a while to actually get him to see reason and take the time he needed to recover properly! Who would’ve thought he’d be as crappy a patient as I am. I can’t help but feel like half a decade together has made all the worst qualities in myself rub off on poor innocent Bradley!

The neighborhood that we are living in isn’t really what I have ever experienced before. I have lived in big cities, small suburbs, and even what I considered “the ghetto”. Things are older here. I feel like everything has this weird worn down look to it, and I have no idea what half the people around here are saying! These next couple years are going to be very interesting… Here’s to hoping Bradley finds a school closer to an ocean when it’s time for his PhD.

Your place isn't so bad... Your big problem is you have no concept of what goes on in the middle of the country. You've spent your whole life in ocean paradises and big city microcosms. It's time to shake things up a little, this is going to be good for you!

Sounds like you are experiencing some culture shock and homesickness. These things are very normal when you change your environment and your new conditions are drastically different. You are in a colorful and vibrant city, give it some time and I am sure you will love to call this place hom!

I don't know much about the south, but what I do know, it doesn't seem like the friendliest place for gay people. Be safe!

I completely agree with most of you! The SOUTH!? I KNOW! Brad just really wanted to go to grad school out here...
