So this is my last weekend in Philly. And today was my last day at work (it got a little emotional today). I thought I would write an Ode to Philly. I am going to write what I will miss and what I will not miss in Philly. I will also write what comes to mind first (with no editing) so that it is not PC or anything. Here goes:
I will miss
-Hanging out at the Urban Saloon at 3 in the afternoon during March Madness
-Kevin frothing at the mouth when discussing politics
-Devil's Alley
-Having "distribution of wealth" arguments with Robert on the train.
-Playing squash on Wednesdays with Sara and on Tuesdays with Sean
-The walk from the Ritz's to home after a movie
-Bullying my friends into taking Jaeger shots for no reason
-Eating duck rolls and beer marinated Mussels at Monk's
-As much as I hate to admit it, DiBruno brothers (yes, even though they are expensive)
-Hanging out at Rangoon with Kasturi and TJ
-Murphy and his ever positive demeanor
-Marisa's southern coolness, Kelly's humor, and Dana's not replying to my emails.
-The Cantina in South Philly
-The rude hair 'stylists' at the ChopShop (ok they were rude but it was a $10 haircut!)
-The Sterling and their semi-rude staff (the building I live in)
-The Eye Candy at the PSC (my gym) in the evenings (c'mon it was not too bad)
-Running by the Schuykill (sp?) in the summer
-The BYOB culture
-Paul at Working Class Cycles (even though I know he fleeces me for repairing my scooter every single time. It's a hard-knock life being a scooter/bike repair guy these days.)
-Brunches at Le Creperie. Especially those times when Mrs. Doo had one too many glasses of wine and started revealing details about her sex life.
-Being close enough to visit my sister, nephew, and BIL every other week.
-Marcus's flakiness
-SzTH (my fav restaurant in Chinatown)
-The alpha doggy Wharton kids
-Hanging out at Kevin and Caroline's deck even though it's freezing
-Discussing politics for real with Kevin and for fun with Robert
-The unsocializing part of Kevin's group of friends (no names please!)
Allrite that's all I can think of today. Let me end this positively which means nothing about things I will not miss in Philly (I am being PC after all aren't I?).

I will definitely miss the train conversations. I hope I was enlightening and showed you that being conservative and JC are true reasons for everything good and pure. Christianity + Conservative Doctrine = the answer to all of this country's woes, and there are a lot of them, let me tell you. Just the other day I was eating a vegetarian hamburger and thought, wow, this would be good with some beer. I stopped. Drinking is wrong, especially during company barbecues. Instead I thought, what would Jesus or John McCain do, and it occurred to me, wine and viagra. Just like JC, the man, and his unlimited supply, I went to the liquor store and bottled up. Spent the rest of the afternoon within a landscape consisting of waterfalls, French landmarks and pink elephants. But there is a moral here to this story: and that is, liberals are no fun. Always thinking of new ways for the government to control our mind and every thought. Turning decent human beings into sheep: baaahhh, Obama is hope, baahhh. Good bye Senor Quest and God bless.
