The Daddy Complex

Movin’ On Over

As you read in the caption of my last photo post, we moved from our apartment near Hollywood to a single family home. It has a big garage, an extra room we can use as an office/guest room and a HUGE backyard. This will make things much easier on us because we can just let the dog and the boys out back twice a day to poop.

We would’ve liked to purchase a home, but we’re renting this one. The market is still too fucked up and we’re still too un-rich. The house does have some issues. The kitchen, for example, could fit inside a 1972 Honda Civic. We just look at that as motivation to become less un-rich so we can buy a place we really, really like in a couple of years.

The other thing this house lacks is neighbors upstairs having loud sex or neighbors next door smoking Marlboro Lights right outside our door or neighbors above and to the right that jam with their jazz band buddies until 4 in the goddamn a.m. (Everybody was perfectly nice. I’m just sayin’.) No, we’ll be blissfully alone in our little dumpy house. The only other thing it lacks, which I was insisting on, but my wife talked me out of, is a helipad. I was just planning for when we’re no longer un-rich. I may need a chopper to commute to work. Or a jet pack.

It’ll be great for the boys. Aside from the backyard where they can run around like a couple of howler monkeys, their room is much bigger. So, we turned it into a nursery/playroom rather than what we had at our old place which was essentially a large closet with two cribs crammed in it. That way, we can keep the living room free of toys. That’s possible, right?… Why are you looking at me like that?
