Going To California

[the image reaper]

'jaded' is a perfect description, my friend :thumbsup: ... when you're pushing 60, and you've seen so much of of the world turn to shit, ya get this way ... I am so glad I'm not young, and trying to 'make it' supporting a family ... if ya think times are hard and ugly NOW, just wait and see

California is crazy expensive, and rapidly getting worse ... there are NO jobs, the Liberals have driven big business out of the state, due to ridiculous regulations, and taxes ... CA is bankrupt, and just raised our taxes to the nation's highest ... in August, my van's license registration will be due, and will run about $700+ ... for one year ! :wtf: ... I will join the other emigrants, and leave the state, when it comes due ... besides, even the weather here sucks lately ... I've been here 27 years, and I've just about had enough of the nonsense ... ...
oh yeah, you can smoke pot (big fucking deal) :wtf:

I second that! god damn its EXPENSIVE to live here !! ya know it costs $39 a year in nevada to reg a car ! hmm nice little old po box hmmmmm:thumbsup:

Are you going with a naked heart? Cause I heard theres a girl there with love in her eyes and flowers in her hair.

This is my first post in a hell of a long time, If you go anywhere go to the bay area, thats where I grew up till I moved to New Zealand last year. Like others have said though its one of Americas many epiecenters of fuckedness, if you did a blind move there it would be real tough. Now is a greater time than any to consider the rest of the world dude. New Zealand has jobs, a massive weed culture, and a hard on for North Americans that arn't arrogant. If I weren't here id make a run for Thailand and chill out through the worldwide shit storm. Good luck brother.

I moved from west coast oregon to south carolina home of the bible thumping bible belt and its pretty cool other than the damn snakes.Taxs are reasonable like 2000 property taxes on 320000 home 4runner tags were 250. Food is a little pricey and there is no good mexican food.Image you should check it out good place to laugh if you are old hippie. Anyway just an alternative to cali.

NextLine - Hey buddy nice to see you around. It's funny that you ask if my heart is naked, cause that happens to be a reason I'm going. I've been feeling the need to get the hell out of here for the last year or so, but then I found a girl and I was happy. Until that ended. It was kind of the straw that broke the camel's back because now I'm really sick of this town. I hope I find a California love, and go to the beach every night and blaze the sun down. That's the life I long for.

New Zealand you say.. well man to tell you the truth I don't really have a plan for the next.. however long I live for. All I know is I'm going to work one more summer of construction here and save up all my money. I should have about 10 grand in the bank after this work season. Then I'll finish football season (ends in October) and then I'm gone. All I know is where I'm starting. My plan is to go to Vancouver, rent a car and start driving south on the Pacific Coast Highway. Always wanted to do that.. just drive for 1500 miles through the most beautiful scenery there is. If I find something I like along the way that I like then I'll stop and live there for a while. There's always need for labour. If not then I'll get on a plane over the ocean. I have a lot of friends who are staying in Australia right now that I could squat with for a few months. Or I might go somewhere totally random. Like Vietnam.

yeah insurance sucks, but Im paying 900/year too and their has been no jobs here for as long as I can remember. Unless your a government employee then you have a job and get cut evey year or so.

Cali sounds like it's too crowded...or is it just me? When I was stoned once I thought I should go deep deep into the wilderness somewhere like the movie Into the Wild almost. I would bring as much supplies with to live off the land, build some kind of shack to live in, and grow a medium sized pot garden. After harvest go back to real world but leave everything out in the wilderness in case you ever want to go back. lol It could be done but I think I would pick the spot first, build a living area, supply yourself, THEN move out there to live for how ever long. There is something to be said for the peace nature can bring to man. Cali sounds fun too if you go norcal. :hippy:

I live in Ga right now and im on the same page as you. Tired of the same city, same ppl, and looking for a laid back life style. This May, im moving out to Humboldt county to stay with family and test the waters. Not really sure what ill do when i get there. Idealy i wanna learn to blow glass, spend my afternoons with a case of beer on the beach, a few blunts and some cool ppl, but im not too certain what to expect. so any one in eureka/humboldt area, if you have any advice to offer it would be greatly appreciated!
