two guy's thriving..[who happen to NOT be gay]

I'm finally settled into the new place, and lemme tell you that it's a whole new world..No Crazy guy above us. No creepy caretaker next to us. Privacy. When Doug's at work, I can actually get a lot done. I listen to spiritual CD's and do exercises and I can write without being interupted every half hour. I can walk in 15 minutes to the greatest music club around. It would have taken 1 1/2 hours before. I found a guy that wants to start a band and has a drum set. He lives about 4-5 blocks away. How unspeakably rad is that?We brought some furniture here and when we got here Tuesday, there was a brand new sofa and love seat sitting by the burb for our living room. It's a weekly rental place, so I guess somebody didn't have a way to move it[?]. We each get paid every two weeks, so we are gonna take turns paying the rent. 120 bucks every two weeks isn't half bad. There's no electric bill, so I can crank the AC in the evenings. It's already ninety degrees here every day, but we have concrete walls on either side of us, so it stays tolerably cool.There' no more deadly road to travel anymore..We each go an extra mile and a half on the bike each way to work, but it doesn't matter cause it's all sidewalk--no shoulderless road with crazy redneck drivers. Most people around here are nice til they set foot in their cars. I'm going to be having some extra money in the next couple weeks coming in.. I'm not actually authorized to menttion what it is at this juncture, but if you are one of my friends that reads this, you will have an idea soon.My bedroom is hooked up with a large couch, a love seat for reading, a mini dresser, and a nice closet. There's two other huge closets that Doug and I can use for our stuff. The apartment is set up so the the living room and bedroom are separated by the kitchen and bathroom. The bathroom is really nice compared to our other one. The tub spits out some black dirt, so I'll have to see about that with the landlord. The shower seems fine though. We got a map of the world vinyl shower curtain. I could right a book about how much better I feel with this new place. I have some extra money in the bank, and I'm cutting coupons and eating rice and lentils, so I don't have to worry about anything financially. I still have to tow my car here, as I wasn't able to start it. But that's just a simple matter of negotiating w/ AAA or a local towing company.
