So essentially I've had it with Las Vegas. Nothing here interests me in the least. Not the video poker, proliferation of swimming pools, and especially not the ridiculous amount of Trashe de Blanc that seem to infest the city.
Mary and I have decided to move when our lease is up here. The only real drawback is that Logan likes his high school. I spoke to my mom today and she’s willing to move out here when she is done with school and get an apartment for her and Logan if he wants to come back then and finish it out.
The really annoying thing is that so many people told us not move here in the first place. People that had lived here before, and people that just knew Mary and I well enough to know that we would hate it here.
"Hate"; is good word to describe my feelings about Las Vegas. It's basically a morally bereft chunk of over developed desert. People here seem to be only interested in their own personal gain. Although I suppose you could argue that people are like that just about anywhere - there seems to be some sort of mission statement about it in Vegas. I guess the old saying is true, You can polish a turd but it’s still just a turd. Albeit a shiny neon lit turd.
We're looking at Diamond Bar and Covina CA now as a possibilities. We're also considering Lake Forest, San Clemente, and of course Laguna Beach.
