The more i think about it the more i'm convinced i have a pretty clear path for the next few years. Albany feels like another temporary residence. Although much more accommodating than Richmond, this city still doesn't have what i'm looking for. It still doesn't have an environment of intelligent cultured people. Maybe no city does, considering the more urban areas are polluted with pretention, but i remain hopeful. I remain intrigued by what it would be like to live in NYC and i feel that is my final destination after all this moving around. I want to exist there with a few musicians and thinkers. I'm not sure if that prospect includes still being employed by Bank of America. I'm sort of hoping it doesn't, but i would never take my job for granted considering how many people are struggling to find work at the moment. I'm also hoping that at some point in my life i could achieve my goals without having to be tied down to a job in which i provide no benefit to anyone. We'll see. I want to live in the city to meet people, to meet a girl; i'll just have to learn a few new skills to get there.
