Sometimes I wonder what would happen...

[per_solo]

Sometimes, I debate just selling a bunch of stuff, planning, and moving to Vancouver.

For some, this will come as no surprise...Vancouver has long been hailed as the best place to get noticed if you want to break into acting...and, it's said that anyplace in Vancouver can look like almost anyplace else.

Part of it is the allure of a fresh start...just going somewhere, and starting things over again...the problem with that is the lack of funds..I have literally no money in savings...not to mention that I would really miss my family. Travel costs to visit family go up quite a bit, and who knows what the job market is like in Canada...for a technician who has minimal training, that would almost be nightmareish...and, with the tech sector having taken its extreme beating in the last few years...who knows.

So, I guess the immediate goal is to get my A+ certification..that way, if I do decide "Screw It", I can find a job a little easier...I guess I've just hit the point that I'm tired of feeling like I'm running in circles...and am not really sure how to break out of them.

Wow. I didn't think you were fantasizing about moving someplace else. I relate to that emotion. I spent like the last two years I was in Indy fantasizing about the same kind of thing. But I will say that the reality has been rough. Sometimes I wish we'd stayed in Boston, which seemed to fit well even though the standard of living was absolute crap. But, anyway, sometimes you don't realise how important home is until you leave. Then again, it always takes a while to adjust to a new place, so next year I might say, "Move to Abq! It's the greatest place in the world!" Life is like that.

What is it that makes you want to leave? I realise there's the lure of acting :). There are all kinds of community theaters in Indy where you could act on the stage. Have you thought of working with those for a while?

I have...the problem always comes to time...maybe I'll look deeper, after I get my A+ certification....

I'm just realizing the rut I've dug myself into...and plans to get out of it...
