I will be a city dweller.

So it's finally going to happen, I'm going to be an official city dweller at the end of the month. What'll it be like, for a small town boy (resisting urge to write Journey lyrics) to adjust to living the city life? What perils will he face? Will he find a kind of font so that this reads like those spinning dramatic newspapers??? We'll see. I think it'll be fine. I come from Aberdeen in Harford county, which isn't exactly the litmus test for quality living. If I can survive in there, I should be good anywhere.

There is one thing that worries me though, Hipster Disease.



Yes, Hipster Disease. If left untreated, and gone unnoticed me and the girlfriend could very well end up looking like the above picture in less than 4 months. Well, it wouldn't be too bad, as the girl in the picture looks pretty cute, but still, I'd look like an insufferable douche.

I'm already noticing some of the symptoms. Yesterday I spent a good 30 min. or so on my lunch break looking at bikes, and bike helmets. I'm already gloating to my friends who live in the county, how much we paid for the great amount of space we got. And it really won't be helping that since we'll be in Fells Point, the closest grocery store is, a Whole Foods. I hate Whole Foods. If you ever thought that the people from the hybrid episode of South Park, who smell their own farts were made up, then you haven't shopped at Whole Foods.

It's gonna take all of my natural stubbornness to resist this, because the moment I see myself wearing a blazer in August, while rolling my second skin jeans up to ride my bike, it'll be too late.
