Forget about me?
When I had said I wouldn’t be blogging for the next week, the next week suddenly became the rest of the month, and life got in the way – not only of my blogging, but my humor in general.
Personally, I blame Comcast.
Anyhow, I can report that I have now officially completed my move up to the big apple, and did not expect in leaving Philly to feel much. Don’t get me wrong – I absolutely love Philly, and anyone who knows me, knows that – but I guess life has been so insanely busy in the past couple of months that I did not think I’d still have that emotional connection to the city I once had.
However, I quickly discovered the reality was that it wasn’t just the city, but the connection to the life I had built while I was there.
One that was sad for me to leave.
It’s funny, in hindsight, because Philly was originally supposed to be a temporary situation. But what became a month or two of commuting from West Chester after I graduated college quickly turned into a year in Manayunk with two roommates, to another year downtown, living on my own at 16th and Spruce.
And I absolutely loved every minute of it.
So, here’s to you Philly.
And here’s to those that impacted my life while I was there.
Without all of you, what was an absolutely wonderful 2 years would have been a mundane month or so. Words cannot describe what all of you have meant to me, and always will, and I thank you so much for making Philly not only worth sticking around for, but a place I truly felt home within.
I’ll miss you, guys. Wholeheartedly.
I love you even more.
and failing, miserably, I’ll be shipping down to Boca (bet you won’t hear Drop Kick Murphy’s doing that version anytime soon..) to meet up with the rest of the Brennan clan for the week.
