Hi,
I've never left american soil before. Personally it's time for a move from my current place of residence: http://www2.bluelight.ru/ubb/Forum18/HTML/012305.html?reload=20 Southern California aka "Desert Hell Hole"
Australia has always intrigued me by seeming such a vastly interesting and distinct place. A majority of Australians who I've conversed with seem to have so much pride in their country that it's blazingly inspiring. If you ask me (And many other americans) they might refer to america as, "The land of the weak, home of the slave, bible-thumpin'(In the south), close minded, moronic(Jerry Springer for the most part is real), disrespectful, corporation run country". America is very diverse and as such is very different depending on one state to the next.(Though after you've lived here for as long as I it generally becomes very mentally assimilated)
I'm originally from the right(East) coast of the states. I've made a few attempts at moving back in that direction. As ready and eager as I am to move, the times that I've tried to move back in the past months. The plans have just disappated(By something or another not coming to be).
From years of thinking to myself and being interested in the world as a whole. I've begun to think about places that would be magnificient and something different. Someplace that could potentially be comfortable.(Though I'm going into all of this assuming any move to a completly different country will have it's fair share of obsticals) I've considered Canada, the Netherlands(Don't speak dutch, heh), Mexico, and the UK. None the less, Australia seems to be a place that my heart is directing me.(If it doesn't work out to move back to the East coast of the US)
As idealistically as I'd love to live in a "perfect" world. Every country has it's own quirks and difficulties(It's a state of mind), human nature. Australia seems to have some radical and really cool ideas(Compared to america) and it seems like a place that would potentially culture my present worldview into something great it's never been before. Australians do seem friendly, like to play with crocodiles(J/K
), and communicate respectfully(If you don't believe me just compare the American social forum to the Aus social forum). And I'm under the impression that american accents drive the australian women wild. j/k
I'm not so much into the "ParTy scene" right now as I am into electronic music. I'm submerged into Progressive music(House, Trance, Breaks), IDM/ Experimental, Jungle/D+B, techno, and so forth. Not so much that I acually go to parTies to hear the music(Most clubs are age 21 and up over here). But I just enjoy listening to it anywhere. I'm not much of a dancer, but can give a good lightshow when I try hehe. I've gone through most of the common(And some not so common) recreational drugs, considered myself addicted to a few. I think at this point, I want to find somewhere comfortable to live. It doesn't really matter where, the drugs aren't important. But the music is and I think Australia has alot of opportunitly in finding someplace comfortable to live.
The last two places I've moved have basically been picking a random person from classifieds. I ended up having better luck the second time(The place I presently reside) than the first. But I've been around Bluelight for two years and spent alot of time learning and exchanging in the information this board has to offer. All the while seeing the Bluelight "community" grow. And I tend to trust Bluelighter's and Bluelighter opinions many times more than a "random person". As such I'm not intending on finding just a "random" person again unless absolutly necissary.
There alot of pride to be had in this board(Though it is just the internet).
I'm thinking of moving to the Melbourne area, but am open to ideas about any areas of the country. I'm male(Everyone should know this by now
), 20 years old, very responsible. And presently have a ISP / VoIP(Voice over Internet Protocol) job. Basically I get paid to surf the internet and occasionally people call me up with a problem and I resolve it. I'd like to try and find a similiar job(I'm sure there are plenty in Australia) and I'd consider practically anything in another field.
Most importantly with this venture/adventure is finding a place to live. Due to my present circumstances I'd have to give a 30 days notice no matter what(Because I promised I would). So I'd have to secure a place for definite and then look at giving my 30 day rental notice. I'd hope to move someplace in roughly 2 months +/-.
The current exchange rate looks like it may work in my favour(Almost 1USD = 2AUSD). Even though it's gonna cost a 'fair penny' for the initial plane ticket for getting my arse over there and moving all my belongings(Not too many just cloths, computer, sentimental stuff, boombox, N64, ect..)
In all honesty and naturally there are many a concern about making a leap across the Pacific ocean. If I ever did need to come back to america for any reason it would cost alot and wouldn't be as easily accessable.
I've chatted with so many amazing Australian bluelighters and even lived with one for 4 months. Australians do r0x.
Thank you for reading this extremly rambling post.
Any adivce, directions on how to ride a kangaroo, places to live, job offers/possibilities, please post 'em up or e-mail me.
Thank you!!!!
