Not cool enough for school

Maybe this is being brought on by my recent reintroduction to internet dating (and the inherent rejection that comes from internet dating).

I don’t think I’m really slick enough to live in this town.

What do I mean?  I don’t think Miami may be my scene.  Lots of it just does not seem for me.  Let me try to organize my thoughts clearly here.  I’m not a clubber.  I despise going to South beach because I hate the traffic and the crowds of douchebags. 

It really seems that this town is geared towards the club/sobe chic crowd.  The $20 dollar cover, can’t get in unless you buy a bottle, $17 cocktail crowd?  It’s just real tiresome. 

Let’s look at the facts here.  I’m a young professional, just a two years out from school, about to hit the big 30, with a decent job I guess.  I don’t drive a particularly tight car.  I don’t live in a particularly cool part of town (I live where a lot of families and older folks live).  I’m not particularly image conscious either. 

I feel very much like a fish out of water down here quite a bit.  I’m feeling much more self-conscious about it lately, which I’m not sure is good…

I can understand that. I loved living in Florida, but we lived in BFE, rural, rural, rural! Sometimes ventured out to the beach and that taste was all I needed.

Would Tampa or Gainesville be better or no FL all together?

I watch “Burn Notice” and watched “Miami Vice” so know a lot about Miami. :)

But how can a city that size with all the myriad jobs it supports, only have upscale culture? Does not compute. Regular people have to go somewhere. Unless, of course, they can’t afford to go anywhere!

Good. Maybe now you’ll come back to your true home in NYC. Be my roommate please? Pretty please?
