This blog has ended. It was a nice dream while it lasted... But everything must come to an end.The fact is that I just can't do it. I can't actually make the changes in my life - I lack the necessary self-confidence to actually do it. I have to face up to that fact - one of the abiding principles of this soul searching was to be realistic. The fact is that I don't have that self-confidence and at

I mean, I know I want to get out of Florida and try something new in my work life... but I know I am never going to get the nerve to actually do it. Moving is scary after all and expensive. i know I'm never going to want to take that chance or spend that money.So I'm stuck in this hellhole of a state forever.

When I was a bit younger I decided to go see Peter, Paul and Mary expecting just a kind of boring concert... What I got was, perhaps, the single finest 2 hours of music I have ever seen live. I saw them multiple times afterward and was always impressed not just by their music (Which was always good) but by the fact that they would have a section in which each person would do solo stuff while the

You know, when I first started this blog I was heavily leaning in the direction of the west coast area... But now that I think about it, Boston doesn't sound like such a bad place. I have been doing some research and Bostons sounds like a really nice place.Pros :The move would be easierI am within a long weekend trip of my familyIn the Autumn there is that beautiful changing of colors of the

This is my "Required post because I haven't posted in awhile" post. I've been thinking about my choices and I am really leaning towards tossing out Denver... It's an area I just don't know much about (other than from a couple people who live there thinking it's a nice place). But Boston and Seattle remain viable options.

I have decided to whittle my choices of where to live down to three areas. I am going to list them by the cities they are near, but these include the areas around the cities as well :Boston - This is just because I love that city beyond all measure. It's a fun place and well worth thinking about.Denver - I simply keep seeing way too many good things about this area to ignore it. And Colorado is a

As I sit here in the sweltering heat of September, contemplating what to do with my weekend (Work or work?), and listening to the predictions for an even hotter and more annoying labor day with only the beginning of Jerry Lewis to look forward to later tonight I think to myself that I can't wait to live someplace less like hell...

And overwhelmingly recommended Seattle... One day after I decided that the West Coast wasn't right for me... Come on guys, keep up!But seriously, I am willing to think about it if someone could drop me a comment that actually explains why they think Seattle is a good idea. I can read multiple webpages about the city - but that means nothing in the face of actual arguments in favor of it from

This may be counter to what the polls on this blog have to say, but I really don't think that the West Coast is for me... To many factors point towards me not living there.So that leaves the Mid West and the East coast...

I have noticed that the polls are pretty predominantly West Coast/Seattle... If someone could explain why that is, I would be very interested. I'm not going to make a final decision based on just polls numbers after all - I want someone to sell me on it.So if anyone who reads this could explain what is so great about Seattle to me that would be very nice (I have my opinions on it and they are

I don't want to jump blindly here. I'll need some sort of insurance that I will be able to pay the rent. So once I come up with a place to live, I intend to start looking for contract work in that area... I figure that is a good way to pay the bills for at least the first 6 months to a year while I move and establish the freelancing business.That shouldn't be too hard to do - finding contract

The West Coast seems to be my readers favorite area to suggest I move to. I have to assume that is because most of them live on the East Coast and want to get rid of me...It's a big area, and for the longest time I figured that the only city I would be happy living near on that coast was San Francisco... and if I were wealthy that is still the only city I want to live in... But unfortunately the

The Mid West intrigues me. I have to admit, I am not really well versed in this area of the country - I fly over it on my way to the west coast but the closest I have ever come to actually visiting it is when I have a layover of a couple hours in Denver's airport... So this (Rather large) area of the country is kind of a mystery to me. I did end up in Great Lakes for a couple months (Wasn't

The East Coast is my first areas to consider moving to. I've lived in this region my entire life so far (Pennsylvania, Delaware, Virginia and Florida) and have a pretty good grasp on what makes it tick - which is both a good thing and a bad thing.On the one hand, I get the area. It works in expected ways and the people act in expected ways. That is a good thing - no adjustment would be neccessary

If I intend to freelance again, where I live opens up a bit. We live in the 21st century - I can live anywhere and still do my job. So now the concept of moving is a bit more easily defined...

I have come to a conclusion... Working for others is coming to an end. I don't know how or what yet, but sooner rather than later I intend to start working for myself. Probably programming but I don't know yet. That is the first real concrete decision I have made.The company I work for is wonderful, don't get me wrong. But it's time for me to strike out on my own and give it a real try. So,

I just used this online tool to compare the cost of living between Tampa and the different front runners for the cities to live in... What it produced is interesting. Seattle is the only city where I would actually increase my amount of money at the end of the year (By around $500).So, let's put Seattle back into the mix...

We all have to work to pay our bills unless we are independently wealthy... Which I am not. But I have come to the conclusion that something has to give with my job as well as where I live.Right now I am a computer programmer... I tend to specialize in web related application programming and I am actually quite good at it. And I have to admit - there is a part of me that enjoys the actual coding

Since where I live will, by necessity, determine what I do while I am there, I figure it makes sense to keep hitting that question for now. Let's face it, if I am somewhere where the cost of living is much lower, then i can get away with an income that is a bit lower...So, in that vein, I'm gonna continue to talk about this - hope I am not boring anyone!Seattle - My friend lives just outside of

Since I figure that I am going to have to figure out where to live before I figure out the employment question, I am tackling that first... and it's a doozy!Do I stay in Florida? FL is a nice place for weather. Let's face it - it has some really beautiful stuff going on here. But it's not so great on the other fronts.
