Omaha and me

Well this is my first post on my first blog. It's a little weird. Who is going to read this? Only time will tell. Let me start off with a little background info on yours truly. I have just finished my 1st year in the working world as an engineer in Omaha. So far, it's been a crazy ride. I'm originally a Minnesota boy so I moved here knowing a grand total of 5 people. 3 of those 5 are my Uncle, cousin, and his wife. The other 2 are my roommate and his girlfriend, with whom I went to college. In just a short year's time, I've managed to spread my wings and meet all sorts of cool people, mostly through fellow co-workers. I feel like I've conquered the Omaha scene and feel a little more like a local. Let's break down the pros and cons of Omaha as I see them after a year's evaluation:

Pros
-I have a job that pays
-The winters are weak sauce compared to the Great White North
-I work with some good people
-I have climbed out of a moster credit card debt hole
-Husker games and CWS right in my backyard
-DMB played in my backyard also (that never would happen in B-town)
-The golf season is more than 1 month long

Cons
-My job isn't technically a Chemical Engineering job
-The summers are 1000% more humid compared to the Great White North
-No pro sports teams in the city (hello 4-5 hour drives to games, you seem familiar)
-No Twins baseball on TV (unless you spring for MLB extra innings on an impulse buy, oops?)
-No Wild hockey on TV
-My best friends don't live here
-8 hour drive to Bemidji or $400 flight that may circle Paul and Babe before going back to MSP.
-No real lakes or Star Island

Like anything in life, you have to take the good with the bad. So there it is. Just a single guy livin' the dream without a care in the world. Watch out Omaha, year 2 can only get better.
