Here’s a mini, man. That’s all I can spare.
It’s not as hard as you think!!! You could do an owner-finance situation, which doesn’t even require a bank to get involved. If you want it, it will happen, just think positive.
Hey Brazos, I was thinking about you yesterday.
Every once in a while, but more often lately, when I am in a nice neighborhood, I find myself overwhelmed with the desire to have a home, with paintings and furniture and cats, etc. I get a little depressed sometimes, because I feel that the reality of owning a home isn’t going to be one for a long, long time. I still have whacked-out priorities (almost all my money goes to clothes and food and entertainment), and I know realigning where my heart is is a first step. But also, I have learned to embrace where I’m at now, because this is a rare time in my life that will never, ever come back once it’s over. I find that me wanting a house is really wanting a lifestyle, which is me really wanting something without having to work for it. It is shallow, but true for me right now. I feel, for some reason, that having a house will bring upon me some magical peace and understanding and power in the world, which is silly when I think about it.
All in all, I think it is good for me to be conscience of what I want my future to look like, and strive to begin healthy habits to lead me in that direction, while at the same time enjoying where I’m at now.
You begged for change, so there’s my 2 cents.
P.S. – there’s this place here called Quintiles where you sign your life away to medical companies to let them test new medications on you for a few days, sometimes weeks, at a time. The average they pay is $2,000-$4,000. One of my friends did it and he had to take blood thinners mixed with heartburn medication, and he basically played cards and read for a few days. He’s fine, but he does bruise a little easier now.

you’ll get there….in 10 years.
Hey, I just wanted to thank you for your willingness to have an open, level-headed, honest discussion about religion with me. It’s a hard one to talk sometimes. I believe you’re doing Jesus a lot of good by being who you are and answering things from a compassionate place. There has been a girl who totally went after me recently who is super evangelical hatred-style and it makes me say, “Yep, there’s Christianity for you. Breeding hatred at all costs.” But then I think about you and I realize that you’re not all bad. Thanks for being cool, man. I really appreciate it.
Good luck with that house buying thing.
I also cannot buy only one CD a month.
