Every night I leave and every morning I start a new life, trying to better myself in every aspect every day ;-)

Allright the last one was to big... **caugh, caugh**

and your wife doesnt know - i presume

I did that about fifteen years ago. I was a teacher in NJ where I was born and rasied - boring life, same old same old. So one day I just decided to pick up and move to California. I gave up everything I had, moved here where I knew no one and within two years I was married with a kid on the way, a career as a writer.

Cyn

yes at different points in my life i have felt like just packing up and moving away and breaking all contact.

but then you think and realise life goes UP and DOWN and things always come back around.

also i have to many friends that i have known for way to long to just pack up and go. i have been lucky enough in my life to be in a slump for no more than a few months, if i was in a slump for a year + i would def. change my entire life around.

Did that in 96

ding ding ding...absolutely

"No matter where you go, there you are..." sounds fitting



However, I have thought of doing a geographical a few times....and still do but not for the reason of 'escaping' anything, but more in the line or framing of 'runing to' like moving to a nicer culture that I respect more, etc...thoughts of living in parts of the Med or S. America really appeal to me on MANY levels...

a few countries I would love to move to for a while:

Crete/Greece
Chile
Canada (Vancouver in particular)
Switzerland
Austria
Costa Rica
Italy
Spain and a few others...


dammit now I want to travel :/



PS: fortunately I got to do quite a bit of 'leaving' or travel while I was in the military for over a decade, uncle sugar paid for me to live in some pretty cool places for a while with some pretty decent jobs :)

I did that about 9 months ago. The wife and I packed up and left Los Angeles for the Midwest. I really dont have any contact with anyone from LA anymore. Got sick of all the bullshit and didnt want to raise a kid there. Now I'm semi retired and enjoying fatherhood.

One of your better threads DJ.


Answer: yes, I have often thought of pulling up stakes and moving somewhere new. More often than I'd care to admit, actually. One of the main things that keeps me where I am is my parents, who are both elderly and would be crushed if I were to move far away. So for now, I stay put.

Not a day goes by that I don't think about it. The feelings grow stonger to leave everyday. I just wish I had the guts.

You are not alone on that dream. I love farming for some reason.

50.,..,...

I did it. Best decision I ever made on so many levels.

Yes, I always think about faking my own death and then killing myself.
Ironic isn't it :winkwink: Kidding

The thing in your post is that you said 'vanish'.

Id thought of moving away, mind you the places Ive been to always seem to make me like montreal better when I get back.

Bu to up and 'vanish'. Not talk to parent, friends.. you would have to be really strong to do that. Just moving far away I think is strong but to never look back etc.. I think that would be too hard, kinda cold too no?

yeah I guess it could be a good thing to do

Not so much the vanish part - but yea, done the move and it was in many ways, a new life.

Sold off some business stuff and we all shipped out and travelled round the Caribbean and stayed on one island or another for a few years and settled in Latin America (the better part).

Above all else, the "freedom" hits you in the face. No more "having to do this or that", no more taxes or forms to fill in - totally different world and far more laid back.

Move back to "civilized world"? No way!! :winkwink: Still never met one expat who would want to return home (apart from visting family etc).

yea think about that from time to time...

no, i don't have the heart to leave my family, they mean everything to me, and i have 2 of my 3 nephews who look up to me, and just go from being in a bad mood, to good mood when they see me, it would kill them if i just up and left without without notice....

yes, I thought about it

I would not leave my family.

an old thread bumped at an appropriate time. I'm getting ready to do the whole "start over" again. It seems to be a pattern for me, as I've bounced around many states in the last 9 years. Moved once with my family, moved for school, moved for a girl, moved for a job, and now this move is for me. Two more months and I'm California bound. I won't be vanishing, but those friends that don't have the motivation to keep in contact will fade away.

couldn't agree more! :thumbsup

yes and i did it, kind of. some people knew before i left and some found out after i left. i wouldn't say im 'starting a new life'. just moved to a different place out my small hometown into a bigger city. my girlfriend is here so that made it easier.

crappy enough the first time who would want to do it all over agian?

new year, time for new life?

you bumped this thread 2 times already.

you're so craving for my cock :1orglaugh



Edit: 3 times!

i bumped this thread because I like it, not because you started it

if I was looking for your attention, I'd bump one of your stupid "FACT" threads or the thread where you called out JimTheFiend and got owned by him, from 3 years ago

you're all over my threads like flies on shit.

stop stalinking me homo, i wont fuck you.

Actually some family member offered me help today with getting a job that would suit my education.

I always decline such proposals and tell people that "ehhh... I am earning some money on the internet." But I have to admit I'd like to try a new career path somewhere in my life. Not because of the money, rather just to get a new experience. Working in an office with other people, having projects, deadlines etc, must be totally different than waking up at 1 pm, ordering a pizza and opening GFY.

DarkJedi, you claim to have a lawyer education - wouldn't a part of you want to try out how it is to be a lawyer, rather than adult webmaster / GFY troll?

But you probably won't reply seriously anyway...

yep, I was right :D

this is not the time.
have to wait

:disgust :( :disgust

Don't look back. Maybe it's the best advice...But who could do it? Leaving everything behind without looking back?...

NO FUCKING WAY!!! I love my life & the people in it too much.

Sometimes i do.

But then i think that i am not alone and i have someone who cares about me and stop thinking bullshit. :)

I have done it a couple of times in my life, and it is very liberating. It can be a challenge. It is even harder to drop out of sight while staying in the same area (and that can be done too!).

Now you got me thinking..... :ugone2far

It's been a long time since I had the slightest urge to do anything like that.. My family is what I live for; if I ever did anything like that I'd be taking them with me.

Yes and then i end here and its reel funny to make porno :thumbsup

sure why not, that would be fun :P
