dreams

i hope to someday soon live in a non-cramped (dare i say spacious) studio apartment in the east village with a tiny bit of outdoor space and a chair. i want get most of my groceries from the union square farmer’s market and the remainder from the union square whole foods or a local market like commodities. i want high speed internet (wi-fi!), an hdtv (with cable and my roku box), air conditioning, heat, a good amount of outlets, a nice bathroom, and ample space for my small amount of clothing and my musical equipment. i want a really nice kitchen to make fun meals in (maybe with others). nothing crazy, but also not cramped. i kind of want a large bed like queen size with wood floors under it. i also want a nice bike and a place to put it in the apartment. i’d like some fun art pieces, maybe an interesting light fixture. i want to be able to go out to eat fairly frequently, though i would like to cook a lot more. i want to be able to travel or at least do a good deal of traveling about the city. i want to work at a cool job or have a cool career involving organic food and people in the city that pays enough to support this kind of lifestyle.

these are my dreams.
