Sydney smells.Let's all move to Hawaii together and watch basketball games at 1pm every day.
If I could I would. But there's fuck all chance of me and the soon to be wife getting a green card or whatever we'd need to stay, or decent employment there, and US health care is fucking terrible.
There's chances of getting work in Sweden or Japan because of her job with relocation costs covered. Just losing patience with Sydney.
But yeah, AU in general is heading down a horrible path atm. And affordability issues are really becoming a thing.
Yep affordability is fucking ridiculous, especially in Sydney & Melbourne. But for what me and the missus do, there's almost no work outside of those two centres.
hm, i might have to take my vacation in hawaii this year then if yall are so high on it
Only thing I know about Hawaii is that its where LOST was filmed and that show was basically marijuana for me back in the day--atmosphere had me lax

whats the best time of the year to go?
Yeah it was. Lots of areas are marked where specific shots were filmed. I took a pic of an area
Tons of movies are filmed there. All around the area where I took the pic are props from other movies. There was the branch from Jurassic Park where the kids are hiding. There's a huge foot print in the soil that was used in Godzilla (i think the shitty 2000 version). I went ATVing by a few sets that were up for Jurassic World. Said please no pics so I was a good citizen and upheld their wishes.
If you go in the winter months you can catch humpback whales migrating through the area. Other than that as far as I know there's shit to do year round. That's one of the perks and the weather doesn't really change.
Only thing that bugged me was I could not find a area to hoop. There were tons of outdoor courts but they were ghost. A few locals told me most people play up at the gym on univ of Hawaii campus. I didn't have time to find my way over there though and see. Maybe DY can speak on that.
going to Okinawa in a couple weeks!! Can't wait!
Nice! I've never been but it's on the list. Are you going to Naha or one of the smaller islands?

Moving sucks.
Especially when you have hundreds of books.
When I moved to LA I had around 600 blu-rays and 100 books. Not that bad. Just had pack more boxes.

You're right.
I found myself taking extra special care to pack my books. They're all neatly stacked based upon their length, width, and thickness so that when the movers come, my book towers won't tumble inside of the boxes and I can practically put them on the shelf like stacked cups.
I also take care of my games. My electronics are the very last thing I pack in special bags that come with me. Never in luggage or on a moving truck. Always with me.
Still gotta do the kitchen first today though. ugh.
The irony of moving for better opportunities is that it practically drains you completely financially. Like, IDK how ppl have nothing good going for them and they decide to move for better opportunity...how can you afford it? My company is paying for most of my stuff, but a lot of the incidental costs are still devastating (such as having to resupply food, pay for gas, etc).
Life is hard.

Call me a hater because I'm mad jealous about my HS football team. We were the laughingstocks of our school district. We were the team that everyone circled on our calendars as a guaranteed win. My senior year, EVERY away game we played was someone else's homecoming. Yeah.
They're 4-0 so far this year and all my HS friends celebrate. I can't. I'm still pissed. Certainly contributed to my being a sore loser. That was eight years ago (plus the other years of losing). When will I be able to let it go?

Life is good, fellas. Divorce over with. Relationship with my GF is just amazing. Love my career, building my business, meeting fascinating people who are becoming clients. Summer is nearing an end so humidity is less and less. Planning a trip to England next year and hopefully Hawaii if I do well this year for work. If any of y'all ever have questions about financial planning, preparing for the future, etc., let me know.

Yo, that spawned a 68 post-long thread on my FB page. When you win ZERO games your senior year, you will bear scars for life.

Just because your class wasn't "very sports gifted" doesn't mean you have to be mad at your former high school's current success...

Never had a zero win season, true... But you would wish that on other high school kids? :lol:
Work informed us today, that, "effective immediately", we won't be able to cash out our unused vacation anymore... Three months before the year ends, and I have used ZERO vacation days this year. All the while I am working on the company's biggest project yet that is due before the year ends. Sigh.

Oh God no. Not even upon my worse enemy. I'm saying that I really can't celebrate/revel in the fact that they are NOT suffering like we did. It's complicated, man. I spent many days at practice wanting to quit the team just to go watch other teams practice and see if they did things differently.
We had three different coaches in three graduating classes, but my school had sucked for 10-15 years. The only consistent person was the principal. Once he retired, we got a new principal who didn't hire a Booster Club puppet.

Yeah, in 'murica, companies give vacation time but be all salty when you actually use it. You're supposed to grind until you're a nub, then they hire the next person and wear them out.

man just use around thanksgiving and christmas. Then bust ass to make sure the project is done before Christmas. I mean it would likely be done by then anyhow if it was due a week later.

Christmas/New Years is super slow in my world so they are giving us that week off already. The big app I'm working on right now launches around Thanksgiving. There's no hope.
From my sister-in-law's FB page:
Both of them have Doctorates of Vetinary Medicine from Tuskegee University, and my sis-in-law is working on a J.D. right now. Education can't save you from being black.
Gotta love those 3am phone calls from your small business owner husband just finishing records pulling out of his business, who is being pulled over by the cops and his probable cause is that "there have been break-ins at the [nice] hotel next door so I'm going to need to see your ID."
On top of that because he questions the officer as to his cause, he tells my husband that "you must not care about the community." No, people who have small businesses don't care about their communities. Oh and profiling doesn't exist either. #thankfulmyhusbandisalive #thisisnotrandom #somepeoplewillnevergetit

So I made a transparent parent post about my life on FB. Implicated parents. Lil bro comes back from vacation and gets upset and makes some (passive) aggressive posts about how I should have asked their permission. I resisted the urge to say "you mad, bro?" (I had it typed out and kept it there for 10 min before deciding not to hit enter) and said he could call me anytime if he wants to tell me how he feels. He said I should have called THEM first. I reply that I did, but they did not, could not hear what I had to say when my life was upside down, and it was "like an alcoholic asking help from friends who drink."
He says he hopes I find my way, and I did, which is the reason I made a 2-part testimonial post.
He also found my post about our HS football team. He says "I don't have much interest in publicly disparaging my former teammates. But I will say this, I'm very happy for the students of today. I'm hope that no team anywhere has to go through what we went through." Friends return to comment on how he's always a class act, etc.
My brother is so unlike me. I would crucify myself if it meant the truth could be acquired, let alone others. My brother is more...politically correct.

Does anybody have experience dealing with citations on interstate highways in the middle of nowhere? Because I got flagged for going 80 in a 60....when every single car around me was doing so.
I can't choose my court date so for me, it'd be driving about 90 miles to potentially get fucked anyways if the small town cops decide to show up or if the judge wants to be an ass.

Now that I am officially part of "the man," I have now experienced what the average day-laborer often says about their bosses. I can go on the floor and help my team if I want, or I can stay in the office and not do a damn thing. Either way, I get paid exceedingly well. I now understand how easy it can be to NOT do anything. Why would anyone?
Because integrity. I choose to lead by example, not buy words.

Being your own boss is much better. While it is much more challenging, it also provides more options. If I don't want to work one day I don't have to. Nobody is bitching at me. Nobody is telling me I was late to work. Nobody is writing me up. Though, the downfall is if I don't work I don't get paid. But being a 1099 is fantastic, so many write offs =D
I put my car on for sale CL last week. I was going to use the money to get rid of some loans that have been an albatross around my neck.
But now I gotta take down the listing because I think there's something wrong, and I won't know what for a while. Ugh.

There's detectors that can combat lasers too. Depends on how much you want to spend. Radar detectors have saved my ass a bunch of times especially on the drive from Houston to Dallas or Houston to San Antonio. Spend a little on a radar detector or potentially have to go to court and pay a fine ;).

The fine for having a radar detector in AU is larger than a speeding fine. And the detector gets confiscated too.
Hardly worth it.
lucky you
also, had enough money to go clothes/shoe shopping for the first time in years, got some decents pants and shirts. Shoes though? Went through the entire mall, went to VANS,Aldos,macys,jc penny,kohls,footlocker,multiple hipster shoestores and nobody had any shoes above size 13. excluding FL since i was looking for more casual shoes rather than sneakers.
so where's the best place to buy shoes online?
