I had lived in quite a few cities before I moved here. I wanted to move somewhere where life wasn't about keeping up with the Jones's and to get away from the rat race all together.
Smart man.... I've been wanting to do that myself (get out of the city and the never-ending rat-race) but the longer I've worked it seems the more stuff I have to pay for, and therefore the more I have to work, its a vicious circle. I got to go down to the Florida coast for most of the fall for work, and I spent most of my time wade-fishing the saltwater lagoons (crazy good-fishing, dolphins swim right by ya, but you gotta stay on the lookout for gators, sharks, and stingrays) and lying on the beach.
Supposed to be back there permanently by now but it hasn't worked out yet, so I'm stuck in the freezing cold city surrounded by concrete and cars.
