Since my promotion I barely have been posting between work and school I’ve been too beat to hop on here. Summer term ends next week so I have two weeks of freedom until fall term begins. I bought a macbook online yesterday finally making the switch, still trying to get over how much I spent just trying to not think about it.

I started onlyjay 2 years ago today..(technically yesterday since it’s 12:10)

Can’t wait!
is freaking awful i’m just going to stick with real cheese and take a lactaid pill
I love and hate Miami I like it because’s it’s vibrant and fun hate it for similar reasons stated and the no speakie English pretty much is the main killer. Broward(where I live) is so drastically different even though it’s right there next to Miami it’s extremely suburban(boring) compared to Miami and there are tons nice parks. I think the person should know that FL is flat as hell so hiking should not have been expected. I find Cali way more superficial than SFL but we are not far behind and I find NYC residents extremely pretentious obnoxious but i love NYC. I am no lover of Miami or SFL but each major city comes with it’s probs and Miami is deff a unique city with it’s charms.
This was sent to me by Michael from a Miami Beach forum. I’m pretty I could not have said this any better myself…. which is why I’m not living there anymore, lol.
“If I think hard enough I can remember the stress I felt while living there but then I relate it to my job (I was in consulting) rather than the city itself. I enjoyed the fast pace and efficiency of the city (subway hiccups aside). The primary reasons I left were craving warm weather and missing my family. Those are the ONLY two things keeping me in South Florida now.
I am 100% DEFINITELY leaving Miami as soon as I sell my condo (on South Beach) and find a new job in either Broward or NYC. I was born and raised in Miami and have spent the last almost 9 years in Coral Gables, Kendall and South Beach so I can give you a pretty decent rundown on why it’s so horrible. Oh. I’m sorry. I mean the “pros and cons”….
Pros: Other than hurricanes, the weather is generally nice year round. This has many positive side effects including making it easier to exercise outside, be active, enjoy the city, BBQ, beach, fish, pool, etc. I lived up north for almost 10 years and hated being outside from Nov-March.
It’s nice to have the ocean nearby. There are very pretty beaches in Florida (though not necessarily in Miami). Also, I like fishing so I try to get out when I can. Florida has great fishing.
Cons: I’ll start with nature again. Other than beaches, there really isn’t much more nature to enjoy here. There are NO decent parks to speak of, maybe a few cute small ones but nothing big enough to really enjoy jogging/hiking in. Tropical Park has lots of sketchy characters in it and it’s not pretty at all. My condo is located directly across from Flamingo Park. It’s very small and also has its share of weirdos and scummy people. Oleta River Park is big but rundown. I haven’t been to the Everglades since I was like 11 so I can’t really comment on it but let’s not kid ourselves – it’s just a fancy swamp. I was in California a few months ago and went for the best hike ever in Malibu Creek State Park. You just can’t find that in Miami. When I lived in NYC I pretty much lived in Central Park every weekend because I needed that connection with nature.
For me, the WORST part of Miami is the people - uneducated, uncultured, ignorant, rude, arrogant, superficial, shallow and pretty much stupid. Most of the people here have never left which adds to the frustration given that many here very arrogantly think the city is so great and so diverse, when it couldn’t be less so.
I will preface the next comment by saying that I’m Hispanic. You would think that a big city like Miami would be very metropolitan, filled with people from all walks of life and culturally diverse…not true. Miami is comprised mostly of Hispanics. I, personally, enjoy learning about other cultures and socializing with different types of people. I find it interesting and enriching. I rarely have the opportunity to do that here. The “different” people I have met are either tourists or transients who leave as soon as they learn what this city is really all about. Also, good luck going to certain places in the city if you don’t speak Spanish. I speak Spanish and I STILL get frustrated because I don’t like conducting business in Spanish. Many times, I don’t have much of a choice here.
There is no history or tradition here. This is forgivable given that Miami is a relatively young city. Besides NY, I also spent a few summers in Boston and Chicago and there is no comparison. Inhabitants of those cities are proud of their city, they have family histories there, they have a sincere love for their city, old establishments, sports teams, etc. In Miami, if you’re not wearing the latest thing, or have the best body or driving the best car, you’re looked down upon. People don’t care about what you have to say or substance, it’s ALL superficial. That’s part of the reason the economy here is STILL so terrible. People were just buying/renting high status housing and cars to be the coolest.
Yes, the summers are unbearably hot but I find the winters up north unbearably cold which leaves you with this Goldilocks syndrome and you realize that the best weather is somewhere in the middle – but who wants to live in the middle?
Everyone is slow and inefficient. That bothers me tremendously. Also, no one knows how to drive or is courteous. Apparently, it must be against Florida law to use turning signals because no one uses them.
Coming from Manhattan, good luck NOT being bored in either Coral Gables or Coconut Grove. Yes, they’re pretty but also very, very small. Not much to do. That’s why I bought a place on the beach. I didn’t realize the beach was full of weirdos.Oh well. Live and learn.
