Where I Want To Live


Flat

Some people may have notice that I have a very low aim in life, I never wanted a fit sexy bird, a £150,000 cars, a big fuck-off studio apartment in New York, or even a job that pay six figures a years. All i simply want in life is simply a nice bird, a nostalgic car (The Mini come to mind, the original I mean), a job that just pay enough to live comfortably without getting in some financial trouble, and basically a flat in Clapham Common, Clapham Common is probably best known as the poor man's Hampstead Heath.

Everyone want to be a millionaire, simply for one reason; to live comfortably without doing a day's work, however the thought of being a millionaire frightened me, the idea of not doing a day work, just sitting down watching the telly, going out on the bike etc. work give us more or less, a reason to live, to get motivation from (well, perhaps being a checkout boy in Tesco probably not as motivated), living comfortably is far more important and better than just being a millionaire.

Your simply living comments are quite refreshing. I agree totally. I do have a constant battle within myself about photo gear and macintosh computers. Oh, and I love music equipment too. I could care less about the car, though I love speed, but a cheap 4 cylinder is fine with me, and a small tumbleweed home would be perfect. ( http://www.tumbleweed.com )

I couldn't actually agree anymore with you Ed. I'm the same, I want to live in a little flat with my girlfriend in London, i'll be happy as long as she is.
Thats why we are moving down to London in the next couple of years.
