Hello I'm Rich Brown and this is my personal website and blog. I'm just your simple, average, down to earth, professional, out gay man and aspiring circuit boy, living in Phoenix, Arizona with a few things to say while trying to find my place among all the scary, conservative, religious nuts in this sick and twisted world.

The Debate Begins
I sent Justin a message yesterday saying "So given the choice between San Francisco and New York what would you choose?" He said he that's a hard choice and he would have to think about it, but I know he's leaning towards San Francisco for a number of reasons such as familiarity, friends & family, gay rights & general love of the state of California. I wouldn't be opposed to moving back to San Francisco. My only reservation is that I still think it's too damn chilly there, other then that I love it. We've talked about both in the past, and New York mainly comes up because I think we both love New York and it would be a new experience for us both to move to a new city where we've never lived. For me personally, New York represents somewhere with a nice change of seasons, a warm summer and much closer to my family on the east coast. My reservations about New York would simply be, well it's the east coast, enough said. At this point I imagine anything could happen, we certainly have some discussions ahead of us and nothing has been determined at this point. Jokingly I suggested to Justin that perhaps we pick somewhere in the middle like Kansas City or something, to which he replied "Um ... Hell No." I suppose if we were to end up in the middle somewhere the only real choice would be Chicago, but that's certainly not really in the running at this point.
My List of Top US Cities: San Francisco, New York, Los Angeles, Washington D.C., Philadelphia, Chicago, Boston
My List of Top Non-US Cities (If We Actually Had This Option): London, Paris, Munich, Zurich, Vancouver, Toronto, Sydney, Vienna, Rome
This is going to be interesting, especially since when I had my palm read a few weeks ago the palm reader looked at me and said "You have a watermark on your palm, I see you living near a large body of water" Somehow I do not think she was referring to the Tempe town lake with that statement. Cheers.
I'd pick Frisco as well. It sounds like a great place, plus it's in Cali. You gotta love that - sunshine!
Not to offend you or anyone else but NY just doesn't seem like a good place to be.
Keep us posted. I hope that where ever you move to that you two will be together and very happy!

As an east coast boy I take offense to that post! :)
All kidding aside, don't even think about Kansas City! I had to live there for a year for a job I had and it was AWFUL!
Drew keeps trying to convince me to move to Boston and I'm actually starting to seriously think about it. I just get hung up on the cold weather, I'm not crazy about snow.

Toronto or Vancouver, EH? Not Montreal? Well it's nice to see some Canadian cities in the running, and you could finally get married! :-)
Seriously, Vancouver and Toronto are the most expensive places to live up here. Still, depending on your weather preferences, sticking to the warmer climes would probably be more enjoyable for you. I'm thinking you'd like Vancouver. The Pacific, beautiful area, mild winters, close enough to the Canadian Rockies if you're so inclined.
