coming home and going back

i've been back in texas since early april. i came back on the hopes that i'd get a job with my buddy. i should have seen it coming but it didn't work out. so i just lounge around now.

with the exception of a few well-known urban areas (NYC, boston, chicago, SF) living in this country without a car is a mug's game. it'd be one thing if getting to/from work and food shopping was possible with public transport but having a decent social life was not. cause then, at least, you could make a sustainable effort, so long as you eschewed going out. but even having a job in most parts of this country is difficult without a vehicle.

i've got to get to somewhere where that's not the case.
