Rambling boy why don't you settle down?

I don't know why anyplace isn't good enough for me right now. I'm happy to be close to Boston at the moment, especially after the "white out" period of my life--aka Nashville. I'm still not sure I can pick just one place to settle down in. I like New England and it has its many perks including gay marriage laws, free health care, culture, and it's not the bible belt, but then I think "what about California, New York, Seattle, and Chicago? And don't get me started on European cities. I realize sometimes you have to take what you get before you lose what you have, but dammit, what can you do when you want everything?

Ideally the perfect job for me would be one where I could live in New York or LA, and and travel to Chicago, Seattle, and Boston often... that way I would live in a place I love and be able to see all my favorite people several times a year. They're all spread out so this would be better than moving close to a few of them. Traveling is kind of an obsession of mine--I need to have my cake and eat it too. I make list rankings of my favorite cities to help me organize my opinions on where I want to live... here they are:

1. New York
2. Los Angeles
3. Chicago
4. San Francisco
5. Boston
6. Seattle
7. New orleans
8. Santa Fe, NM
9. Washington, D.C.
10. Las Vegas
11. San diego
12. Minneapolis
13. Salt Lake City
14. Portland
15. Nashville

Miami, Austin, Phoenix, Atlanta, and Philadelphia I don't have an opinion on because I haven't visited there. Denver and St. Louis are too lame to rank. The top 6 are the ones I'm mainly concerned with. This is really neurotic, right? Most people choose where to live based on family and jobs... I need perfection. I am thankful that we have so many great cities in the United States... a lot of countries are stuck with only one--the capital. I could easily enjoy a life here in the USA, but I also want to visit other continents like Asia and South America before I get too old.

Still I think that if you're biggest problem is how you're going to travel the world, you're doing pretty good.
