Just because you couldn’t hack it there and lived an unstructured life doesn’t make it the case for everyone in Houston. Did you take 099 courses at TSU and have an IEP in DISD schools? And Redlion seems to be aiming for Atlanta, not Dallas

Does anybody pay attention to anything?!!

Quit attacking me!!!

I did HACK it....I had fun every minute until I realized that I wanted to have my own apartment and live life as a grown up not a college kid in a dorm room.....

When I was in college we all looked forward to going home to party on certain weekends because before we came we was too young to party in Dallas.....I WANTED TO GO HOME.........I WANTED TO START MY LIFE AND EXPERIENCE DALLAS.


Dallas was a Totally different place as an adult with your own place ......I never looked back.



Now please don't ever bring TSU up again regarding me.......I love and STILL love TSU but i made the right bad decisions down there because I love my life now and im glad I dug my adulthood roots in the town I was born.

When I visit now its obvious that the love for Houston left me when I left it.(meaning What thrilled me thrilled me at 18 ,19 and 20 yrs old)

Please dont let lil ole me stop you from living your best life.....Dallas is a great city and you know it is.

If you just do whats best for you and your wife and quit focusing on proving Houston is better than Dallas...you'll grow to appreciate what Dallas offers with an open mind.

I'm old enough to know what I want and Like ...I would never let a forum pick where I move.
You “ran” a college? Lmao you continue to prove that stereotype of Black Dallasites being these docile slow country close minded uncultured folks. I’m not saying it myself but you’re not doing your city any favors the more you type. And you say you grew up, but did you really? I mean, you call yourself a BOI, you post up smilies left and right and you actually think a city rivalry means something to Adults outside of City Data. I’m starting to think you’ve never been outside of Dallas except when you allegedly went to TSU. No offense but you come off very very mentally slow. It’s obvious you illiterate, but this weird obsession with Houston is a little disturbing.

Also I think I’ve said several times I like Dallas. It’s definitely grown on me more and more. But putting economics and career opportunities aside, out of the 3 Dallas is 3rd on my list. Culturally it’s not as appealing as Houston and nowhere near close to Atlanta imo. Now go cry about that. HA!

Unless people want to call sea world an aquarium but that might be a stretch.

You're still not saying anything

Why add Dallas as an option if the important stuff is not important?!!!....You know...Career opportunities..good economics and more money?.....The stuff that Dallas offers

Any sane minded person would think that those things would be the top 3 things that an educated brother like yourself would be looking for.....And I do believe that you ARE looking for those things...but it saddens me that you would go as far as to strip Dallas of all of it's assets just to say Houston is a better city.

You are letting the good things about Dallas push you to Hate it because your beloved Houston can't provide them for you.....You said this yourself.: p



I love smilies because it depicts my vibe 80% of the time..

You could’ve focused on your studies, gotten a job, and rented an apartment down there in Houston during your time there if you were weren't so focused on partying and fooling around.


And I’ll mention TSU whenever I please whether you like it or not. Especially when you keep making slick remarks about it when the truth is your dropped out because you were too fixated on the wrong things. I guess I’d be bitter too.

I didn't want to find a job in Houston because I knew I would be distracted by the things that made me put partying over school.(I did work at albertsons on the SW side though)

I kinda needed the family around to focus at that age so I went home...If I would have stayed I would have ran wild until i got into some type of life altering situation(knowing how I was then).


But this is not about me it's about Redlion.

Actually TSU is Used against me...just like it was in this thread(meaning I never bring it up).I just respond accordingly.
And the way that you "respond accordingly" is very, very telling. There's nothing wrong with transferring from one school where you had too many distractions to another where you were able to better focus on your actual studies; as a matter of fact, that's commendable because you made a necessary course correction. But the way you lash out at Houston in your responses is just weird and gets you absolutely nowhere.

If a person is seriously looking for a place to move why would you add a city that you already think is inferior to where you currently live....I'll wait.
I don't recall the OP ever saying that Dallas was "inferior" to Houston. It simply has a distinct set of advantages/strengths that made it smart for him to consider as a potential city to relocate to.

How is this relevant to the topic at hand?
