While there's something to be said for the fact that you seem to follow through with them rather than just sit around, it doesn't seem as if you have good luck with making the conclusions to begin with so you may want to seek outside perspective.
Let's put it this way. Do you know how much a shrink goes for?
Between the dental work I need fixed, figuring out how to pay for my degree and move in the next couple months, I don't have the money for that kind of thing. So in the meantime, it pretty much comes down to self-analyzing.

I mean, Chocs and me have radically different political views and we're still able to discuss things together without having it turn into a turd-fight, because we don't try to shove our beliefs down each others throat.
That kind of help the general atmosphere of open dialog I'd say.
Yeah but with Chocs it's not exactly a dialogue. At best you get more insight into his feelings, which I guess is superior to just yelling at him, but his ability to tune out everything he doesn't want to believe is pretty amazing.
Well, someone here has to assume the role of grumpy old guy who likes to use facts, at least 51% of the time anyway. I don't have a burning desire to change anyone's mind here.

My wife stepped off a PanAm plane from Havana at JFK and grew up in Astoria, Queens. We've been back to the Big Apple many times since she left it 20 years ago. I think New York's a great place to visit, but the hell with trying to live there. My wife told me that no job in New York is worth us moving there, so yeah...living in New York can suck day to day. This is of course anecdotal and not statistical evidence.

It wouldn't be so bad if I was making six figures and didn't have to commute from the Bronx to Long Island.

You live a charmed life, Zod!
Check out northern Virginia, out Centreville or Tysons Corner way. It's expensive but less so than Noo Yawk, easy rail access to DC, and there may be a local college with the coursework you desire. Philadelphia during the day is nice, too, but I don't know where the hell you'd live. Levittown, maybe?
Stay AWAY from Baltimore.

I was actually planning on hitting up New Orleans, since I already know quite a few people living there.
