Fuck you Blah

 

I have to agree with those that have suggested getting out and checking other places out. I'm 24, and I've been traveling the world for the almost the last 4 years with my job. I've been more places than I can remember. The only way I remember everywhere I've been is keeping the hotel keys from the places I've been, and keeping money from the various countries I've visited.

It has been absolutely incredible, and I recommend traveling to anyone.

 

But it also made you gay

 

Dude, it's not like you'd be saying goodbye forever.

I grew up in Maine and there is definately a hometown mentality up there. I recently surfed myspace and found that a good majority of the people I went to highschool with are still in that area, still doing the same shit. I plan on moving back someday because almost all of my family is there. I know when I move back almost nothing will have changed.

I mean, Hampton Roads is a huge step from where I grew up. Also living in NoVA/MD/DC area has been a great experience. I've seen numerous cities around the country and have had the privilege of going to Japan and the UK. When I go home, only one of my friends has a job that allows him to travel. We discuss our travels for hours while the rest of our friends just say how they wish they could do those things.

At the VERY worst you'll hate the move and it will make you apprieciate where you come from a bit more.

 

No, I was gay before.

 

In all honesty, I didn't even think about this aspect! You do make a very good point with this line.

 

I think that, like I had said in previous posts it is also the fact that I'm living in the now. Not really considering much on the future - just seeing so many friends and family attempt to sell their house, plus friends in the real estate business who are saying that times are rough. I've seen homes sit on the market for close to a year now and it does make a me a bit nervous. There is no guarantee, but right now with how things are looking there are people across the world who felt that they could buy their home, then if they don't like it just up and leave, selling it in a couple years. I think that now they are questioning themselves. While I've bought and sold many cars, some of which have cost me a bit of money - I've always been able to get out from under them. A house is a much larger investment and I don't want to end up stuck in something I can't get out of if I do want to just get away or change.

While I would like to plant my roots, having my own home and taking advantage of the tax returns ... I am not sure that I want Hampton Roads to be the place I do it.


But after doing a lot of thinking, I think that a fun car is just a temporary fix. While it is not a place that I can call my own, it would be something that I would enjoy for the time being until I do decide what I want to do and where I want to do it.

 

If you ever change your mind Chad....

Haha - I was waiting for someone to do it. While I do appreciate the offer, my brother in law is in real estate. Thank you though.
