Let's hear those big plans! 

# posted by Damon @ 7/11/2006 12:12:00 PM

So Matt tell us about those plans. Just now thinking of buying a house, or ready to sign? Where? How big? New? Old? Zero net energy use? (it's possible but I think like 0.5% of people know it and care) Standard 30 yr fixed mortgage? Supposedly the rising rates put a bit of a damper on house prices, but the rates are stable for now it seems. Anywho, I for one am interested to know what you're thinking, as I am kicking around a similar idea though unlike you I don't have a stable high paying job.

the stability of said high paying job is seriously under review at the moment, yet i'm still moving forward with the house.

yeah, my lease is up at the end of the month and i'm going to do month to month for maybe two more, depending on what happenes or how quickly i can get into something else. Where? well thats not really something i have too much control over as i'd rather find something i like in my price range. I'm kind of looking in middletown, and along the 91 coridor. i'd love to do durham but that town is simply out of my price range. I've contacted a realtor and guess who they hooked me up with, Courtny Emshwiller. Kind of akward at first but we never really talked at all in highschool. she's getting married to John Swokla and they bought a house down the street from where i lived in hadddam. (old man zupan died and they bought the house for anyone who knows it) Where is kind of dependant on whats available.

zero net energy use? if that was my goal i'd be dead before i found a house. I spent this past weekend looking at stuff. i liked a few of them but i'm still unsure how much i want to drop on this thing. i'm getting thet paper work over to Kellyn's dad for my morgage this week and i'll see what they tell me i can afford. I got prequalified last time i tried this and it was way more then i wanted to spend, which i'm sure will be the case this time too since i'm making a little more now. i'll be fully qualified this time around as i'm a little more serious about it.

i'm looking at a 5 year fixed morgage as the rates are a little better and i don't plan on staying in any house i buy for longer than that. if i could filp this in 3 years for a solid profit i'm sure i'd be ready to.

right now i'm basically freaking out. i had a hard enough time last time and lost my job. now i'm under more stress at work and taking more crap (what happened today alone merits a giant post). i have about a million things on my mind and i have no answer for most of them. i'm crazy about aisling right now, job really sucks, parents are coming down on me for spending too much or not getting a condo, plus they've been kind of a mess lately, worried about that, realtor asking a million questions, rental office giving me problems, bills due, trying not to think about my car but i'm going to need new brakes in the next week or so before i go to maine rafting, fuck, still need to give greg money for that, i think the battery in my cell phone is crashing, i haven't had a chance to get to the gym in weeks, which i'd like to cancel and switch to the north haven raquet club, but i've been doing other stuff, fuck.

fuck. big plans may be to just disappear for 5 years. if i suddenly stop answering the phone and no one has seen me for a few weeks, well, you'll know why.

what, no response to this one? i'm shocked

well, i'd be interested to hear more about it matt. unfortunately, we were on opposite sides of the table on tuesday night.

i think that's pretty hilarious about cortney emshwiller. she was pretty much a bitch in high school, and i think it's hilarious that her face is plastered on all those "linda's team" billboards.

as for the rest of the stuff, i think it would be better if you either just vented it all out in a blog post or just told me/us in person. your call.

i'm sure noone's noticed, but i haven't posted in a while now and i haven't found more then a few minutes to actually write a comment in a while. i'd love to write some giant long post about everything but i haven't had the 20-30 minutes to spend on one. this huge comment was written a few minutes after i got bentover and fucked in the ass with a cheese grater. it was a little ventand rant but it just wasn't enough. i'm sure most of you noticed, but i was on a different planet tuesday night.

Matt you need to do what I need to do. Entangle ourselves from all this stress and so called 'life'.

"View this fleeing world a star at dawn, a bubble in a stream. A flash of lightning in a summer cloud, a flickering lamp, a phantom, and a dream."

Ah that helps....

i did notice. and let me say, with a staunch record of heterosexuality, it was a sexy planet. we are the sexy people. now play something sexy before i boo you again.

screw branciteams hippie shite, just relax buddy, your 25 and well ahead of the curve by any measure.

Brian, in response to your hippie logic: If i'm a star at dawn it because i've been busier than all the other stars and i'm still out, a bubble in a river, i'm the biggest bubble and trying to help my other bubbles make it to the top, i'm the brightest flash of lightning which fries the shit out of what it just hit, a lamp which does not flicker for i am more stable and can battle any wind, a phantom, well that'd be cool, and i'm the hottest dream anyones ever had!
