Despite the fact that I've lived in Atlanta for about 2.5 years now, I still haven't gotten used to calling it 'home'. Merriam-Webster defines home as:
1) one's place of residence;
2) a familiar or usual setting
I still consider DC as being 'home' -- seeing as how I spent the vast majority of my life there. It's a familiar, usual setting. Don't get me wrong, Atlanta is nice. I have my family here now, life is more simple, people are friendlier, and cost of living is much less. But it's still not home. So in an effort to fill that void of missing everything and everyone, we're going back to DC this weekend. Here are 5 things which I'm hoping to accomplish:
#1 - See all my friends
My best friends in the world (outside of Sogol and Nafis) live in DC. It's hard being away from them. This weekend will give a good chance to go see everyone and even get a chance to peep Pay's new crib.
#2 - Check up on the house
We need to check and make sure that the tenant hasn't torn the place up and that the walls are still in tact. A healthy home makes for a happy owner.
#3 - Moby Dick
Man I miss this place. Nuff said.
#4 - Georgetown
Possibly one of the most beautiful places. Ever.
#5 - Go out and enjoy the diversity
I miss going out and hearing people speak different languages, all from different ethnic backgrounds and all commingling together in society.
As a bonus, I'd love to go back and check out some of the clubs I used to spin at. If there was a good act coming through the 9:30 Club, I would've loved to go back and see a gig there as well. But it's enough to go back and kick it with my homies, eat good food, shop, and just play it like it's 2002.
