Originally posted by Lira Living abroad could be a nice experience but you could lose the timing. You see, even if you move out of LA, you could start it all over from scratch and have a nice life. The problem is that this sort of thing takes time. Instead of changing cities, change your lifestyle. Are you taking your music too seriously? Or is your day job being an obstacle? Unfortunately, in life you must make positive choices (what you want to do) and negative choices (what you need to ditch) all the time. We always think of the former, but tend to ignore the importance of the latter

Interesting point Lira, you almost hit it on the dot...

I definitely take music VERY seriously, and my day job has certainly become a major obstacle...a bit stressed and annoyed about it all

lmao what the hell is this thread? Are you an infant? Boo-fucking-hoo my life is too convenient?

that sounds like a fucking awesome life

Sound O fTrance:

It seems to me your problem may be that your life is too predictable, rather than just too convenient. Of course, convenience and predictability often go hand in hand: making your life more predictable, setting it on a schedule, can be part of making it more convenient. An event may be inconvenient because it disrupts the predictability of your usual schedule. Or on the other hand, inserting some inconvenience can mean also inserting some unpredictability.

So a life that seems much less convenient to you can come to have a certain romance of the unknown and unpredictable attached to it. Going to a new place where you know nobody to do a job you have never done before, for example. Only you can decide whether trying to make that romance a reality will be worth it in the end.

so you've never stepped outside of your little L.A. bubble and want to try it?

if you're bored and have nothing tying you down like a relationship or home ownership in L.A. then i say do it.

Why not then just take time off and travel? If he has never been outside of the LA area, he should just move out on his own in LA and travel. This would offer a number of benefits as he wouldn't have to give up his job.

So, it seems you need to "unchoose" something. I'm not saying that you should quit your day job and/or stop producing music altogether, but it's about time you chose to focus on one particular thing. Unless you do that, moving somewhere else won't really make you happy.

yea but sometimes people wanna do something REALLY outrageous. i've been there. i was ready to pack my shit and move to NYC or Chicago 2 years ago...just to get out of here and move to cold weather and a bigger city...was bored.

but then i met pat

and yea i didn't read the thread starter's whole story...missed the part about his job.

Just pick up a drug habit.

Yeah the job aspect is what keeps me from saying do it. If he had no worries about a job/career, then fuck yes, by all means, he should. But he has a serious career that he is worried about, and as such will not have that when he gets back. And rebuilding that is no easy task.

Good idea! That will certainly add a bit of spice and inconvenience to his life.

If you are fairly happy with your life, but it has just become too boring/predictable, take some risks. Make things happen. Sounds like you're in a position to do some great things, so rather than just being satisfied with good, aim higher.

oh ok well then i would stay put dude. good career = money = freedom to travel, etc..

just go on a vacation or sky diving or something. maybe that's all you need.

I don't think I'll ever understand people who can't make personal life decisions for themselves.

Exactly. Having the ability to travel is awesome. Wanting to without the ability is the worst.

I seriously think he should just get his own pad in LA somewhere somewhat near to his job.

Yeah same.

My thoughts, exactly, but from another perspective

well sometimes people just want to get that extra little "yea man! do it!" to get them motivated about a decision they've already made.

I say you pick up a drug habit. Your bloodthirsty addiction will lead you on adventures you didn't know you could have!

so where's all this music you've supposedly been producing? seems like all that time and effort, and sacrifice of a social life, should've yielded some results?

very true. i'm w/ the drug habit idea. we'll see how convenient your stupid little life is when you're pawning shit for drug money.

True...but I still think it's weird. Doesn't this guy have friends or family to validate his choices?

At any rate, one more vote for the drug habit here.

But which drug should it be? Meth? Coke? Heroin?
