Well I worked my butt off sunday, monday, and tuesday. This allows me to hang out with steve on wendsday, thursday, friday, and saturday. I still have classes and school, but I should be able to come home by five every day and not worry about homework again until sunday. It is quite nice. I am not sure what we will be doing the next couple days, but I am looking forward to whatever is thrown my way.
There has been lots of talk of relationships and marriage from many of my friends lately. Many are begining to feel pressures to get married. Some are deciding they are not ready and ending relationships that isn't quite headed towards what they would want from marriage. Others are moving in, away, or closer to their respective others. I guess it has slowly pushed the relationship thoughts back in my head. I dont really know what to do about it right now, because boulder actually just doesn't seem to have the type of girl i am looking for. Everyone in boulder is too extreme towards one way of life. We have a ton of boulder hippies, we have the sorority happy go luckiest, and the anal career and business women. I want a little bit of everything. I guess that is one of the reasons, that i think i am done with boulder. I am ready to move on and find another place to call home.
Balance is something everyone and every place needs. Perhaps Boulders balance is between all of the very extreme groups, and the always interesting, but pointed views. Oh well another day, another little bit of progress towards my life, where ever it may be headed.

i hate to say it, but this entry has really brought me down. you bastard. it really sucks that you don't feel that boulder is the place for you. do you feel like you've wasted the past 4 years here. you could've been someplace else where the women are more suited to your style. i don't know how important those kinds of relationships are to you, but i know my life revolves around women. hopefully you can go out with a bang, and have better luck elsewhere, wherever that may be. good luck. go buffs!!

I dont feel like it has been a waste. I didn't know that before I came, and I learned that being here. I learned alot, I learned to focus more on school and work than I ever have before. I still dated some and learned from that. All of that has helped me to know more about what I am really looking for. So it hasn't been a waste it is just time to move on. I think I am basically ready for a new enviroment, some new people, and a new life after being the college student for a couple years.

while i understand completely, that sounds like a pretty generic excuse. i went somewhere, it could've worked out better, but i learned from it. that's the way things go for most everything in our lives. you could've had a much more positive experience elsewhere. i'm curious, do you think you've adapted to this boulder environment much to make it a better experience for yourself. i'm sure it's changed you somewhat, but have you made any sort of concerted effort to change yourself. go buffs!!

Dan,
I haven't known you for long but you seemed to fit in well in boulder. You have become one of my closest confidants in the short time i have known you. I enjoy hangin out with you cause you are a ton of fun. I do understand the growing up and wanting to be in a new place. My only words of advice are don't set your expectations too high. if it possible go into the new situation with no expectations and enjoy it that way, don't wish it to be something it is not.
At least we have one more year to hang out.

Boulder totally sucks. Traffic, sucks. People, suck. Ever schrinking landscape, sucks. Colorado, sucks. It's funny, helped a friend move to Cleveland last month, that place is alot nicer than the Denver Boulder area. Who would have thought? I guess that's what happens when your town has WATER.

Wow, Non Hippie, that's crazy, I was in Cleveland during the beginning of the summer. That place is gorgeous. Green and filled with trees, and water everywhere. The houses are awesome and reasonably priced. People say it rains there. I have been there a few times and never a drop. People like to claim culture out here in Colorado. Not. If you want culture go back East, even the Midwest has more to offer than old white-bread Colorado.

Hey, just found this website sort of by accident. Im looking into moving to Colorado from New York. My boyfriend and i are dying to live together and cant do it here in NY because its so damn expensive. We both love the outdoors and all, and want to get far away. New York is overcrowded overexpensive and overrated. Any Boulderites have any advice? Is it fun there? Fun bars? Fun people?

I found this site by googling "boulder sucks".
Yes, boulder sucks. I came here for a really really really awesome job, which I do 80 hours a week and love, and it's going to be all I can do to stand the next 1 year and 8 months left on that job. Take it from someone who have lived in a *lot* of places: Boulder sucks, and the number one thing that sucks about it is the self-righteous attitude of Boulderites like Dave above.

I also came across this site by googling 'boulder sucks'. I'm moving there from Chicago for another person and I'm extremely worried that I won't have anything to do. I grew up in a small, white town and I hated it. But, people in Boulder are liberal, no? That would be nice.

stumbled across this site as well...i personally like boulder for visits, but would never want to live/go to school there! I do however, absolutely love Fort Collins where i live and go to school! all of the outdoor amenities of boulder, great microbrews, great down to earth laid back people, and it doubles as a great town to raise a family! plenty of open space too. i love the fort.
