First Blog

They always say to write about what you know and/or what your passionate about. The trials and tribulations of living in a big city seemed to fit both. I come from a small town enviornment and even after almost 20 years of living here I still am amazed at some of the daily challenges and crap that goes on here.

Over the next few blogs I will share with you what living in the city as a 38 year old gay professional dog walker is like......

Some of the daily challenges off the top of my head would be driving within the city......and yes I drive in the city and even worse you may think I not only have one but 2 cars. Oh did I mention one was an SUV.....are you still reading?

In my defense the SUV is for work...however I would still have one regardless. I tell people its to get up north to see my parents in the winter with 4X4, but last year I used 4wheel drive only twice so there goes that theory.

I run a very successful dog walking company, (well my idea of successful anyway), have a small group of friends that I am trying to expand, and a very supportive family that I am thankful for everyday.

Patience is a virtue that I once thought I had but living here in the city for almost 20 years has almost eroded that down to nothing. Construction, cabs, rude people, too much ethnic diversity, and basic lack of common sense combined all contribute.

Enough ranting......just a first blog....keep checking in.
