thebiglebowski Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 I'm fine with that. I guess we were just raised differently. My mother pushed us to go and live. The idea of staying one place scares me. What do you want to do that you can't do in SC or via being more adventurous vacations? It's just my opinion and not saying it's fact, but I tend to think it's a bit of "grass is always greener" when people say they "just have to move." Yeah, places like New York, Cali, London, Sydney are really exciting and you should see the world if you want to. You know what people in those places do? They sleep 1/3 or their time, they commute + work 1/3 of their time, they spend some time on the couch decompressing, and maybe they spend an hour a day doing something fun differently than they otherwise would. That initial excitement fades and you can see the same sites in a place in a vacation. That really worth leaving your family behind? Took training in San Diego this year and was talking to my instructor about how beautiful the scenery was as you were driving in. He said, "yeah, it better be. Take your mortgage amount, triple it, and divide by 365 x 30 -- that's how much you are paying for that view." It's awesome, but not worth $100 a day (to me). I'd rather build wealth and retire 20-30 years earlier. So not saying that you can't make a strong counterargument the other way, but that is where my head is at Re: Michigan vs. Everywhere Else Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aarondltd Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 Damn, it kind of sucks that you can't change votes. I would like to change some ups to downs. (World Record? thread) Also notice a few times people accidentally down vote. So someone on here has one of those Broad City girls as their avatar right? I was wondering what that was from.

Im from NY originally so the slower pace of the South drives me batshit at times. The cost of living is really the only thing holding me here. I wouldnt mind retiring here but I would rather spend my working years somewhere else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhulud Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 This Saturday evening, which is typically pretty lonely and boring, I chose to flip things and go out and have some beers and food at the local craft pub bar place. It's very close to my house. No regrets so far. Great beers and yummy food so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheMoosen Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 I chose to move away from my family and all my friends. I left everyone I knew in Ohio and came down to Florida for a job at Disney. I found out somewhat recently two of my cousins who I am close with left northeast Ohio for jobs in Arizona. One of my younger brothers is trying to get a job in France. I never knew I was going to end up at Disney, I am ecstatic that I am here now though. I knew during my graduate program I wanted to leave Ohio. I had no idea where I wanted to go but I wanted to branch out and see what else is out there. I was born and raised in Northeast Ohio. I still dont know why/what was driving me to leave but I did.

Well, NE Ohio sucks, so no one should hold that against you. Been semi-job hunting in Austin today, but been too lazy to update my resume.

aarondltd Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 I've spent way too much time today looking at different options for restoring an old iPod. Decisions drive me crazy, even the little ones but I think Ive settled for which parts I should order. I really should have got out and walked around today. Now Im thinking of having a second strong coffee and thats not good for boredom at all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 I'm bored. Nothing to do, again. Can't keep myself occupied, so just staring off into space and checking the internet every few minutes. Such a worthwhile life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 Well sold some 7"s on Discogs, and I can't find one of them. I think I tossed it in another order on accident . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 I don't even know who is playing this year. I'll probably sit around on contemplate life until I pass out. It's all I seem to do anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soundofsilver Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 I just found out one of my local stores is participating in RSD, and my friend and I were under the impression they weren't I'm not terribly fond of the owner. They aren't on the pledge list. I really don't want to go there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abovetheearth Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 What's the pledge list? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soundofsilver Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 the stores that play by the rules and don't sell the items above a certain price sign a sheet, like a contract. The store I'm speaking of signed last year, and didn't this year. I know why. They decided to gouge a few items, like the Cake Box. My buddy bought it, (they had two) and spent $30 more than I did, 3 hrs later. (I got lucky and waited) The LCD box was $15 higher than suggested at this place as well, let alone others Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aarondltd Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 oh it is. just throwing that out there. i'm just catching up on some wax that needed a playin' Nice, I have the opposite problem. Guess I could play the same boring handful of stuff again. Yay! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soundofsilver Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 Annnnnnnd, I take back everything I just said about that same store not signing the pledge because they did apparently in the last two weeks, cause I know their name wasn't on it before Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radiatorhums Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 oh it is. just throwing that out there. i'm just catching up on some wax that needed a playin' I don't get the appeal of live streaming a festival / show, but I also just think live videos in general are kind of boring in general. I always have too many new records to listen to (or old records that got shelved too early). Not a bad problem to have I don't even know who is playing this year. I'll probably sit around on contemplate life until I pass out. It's all I seem to do anymore. Have you thought about picking up a new hobby? Even if it's something small like trying to be a better cook or reading more. I had a job where I had about 30-35 hours of downtime, I just had to be there. I decided that instead of watching movies and just kind of being bored that I'd try and pick up things, so I spent a lot of time learning php/python. That stuff isn't the most exciting thing, but I'd rather be bored and trying to better myself than be bored and not doing anything. Just a thought though, I'm sure each person experiences and deals with boredom in a different way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aarondltd Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 Well now Im having that second cup of fatty coffee I shouldn't.
