I went to a memorial service for a friend Monday night. He was only 30 years old.
Over 200 people showed up to the service. It kind of made me wonder: Who would show up to mine?
Just after the service, I got a call saying that another friend killed himself Monday morning. That makes 28 people I've known that have committed suicide. Every one of them did it when I wasn't anywhere near them, or able to help in any way.
Many years ago, I had a prophetic dream. Those of you that know me pretty well know that I keep saying when I will die. I'll be 42 years old, living in a studio apartment in downtown Seattle. I'll have a heart attack, and die penniless and alone. I've always known this.
Well, it looks like I'm starting to make that prophecy come true.
Today, I put down a deposit for a studio downtown. I will be moving in next month. I'm glad to be finally out of West Seattle. There are too many people there that seem to make it their personal goal to mess with my sanity. Plus, I'll be glad to NOT have a 45 minute bus ride to get to work every day.

Guess what?
I got approved for an apartment downtown. I move in July 1st.
Finally, I get to live in the big city, like I always dreamed. It's not a big place, but it's gonna be all mine.
Here are the good parts to this whole thing:
It's $600/month
Fully Furnished (Bed, fridge, microwave, dresser)
All utilities paid (including electric)
It's on 4th and Denny
I am really looking forward to being on my own again, and not having to rely on someone else.
Plus, I'll be able to expand my social circle. I'm really tired of living in West Seattle, and knowing all the same people, and dealing with all the same drama.
I'd post some pictures to go with this post, but the apartment is small enough, that a photo is just about all there is of it. 6 feet from the door is the bed. Just the other side of the bed, is the outside wall.
Ok, it's not all THAT small, but it's close. I don't care, though. I don't need a lot of room, and I'll be glad to be by myself. It will be nice to be able to sleep when I get off of work.
