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.

Why are you moving again? Didn't you just settle in New York?

Yes, but I want to finish up my degree and it's too expensive to do it here.

Architectural Design. It's an Associate's, but it's enough to land me jobs in a few choice locations.

Also 8 months of living in New York kind of numbs you to the realities of actually living here and really makes you disgruntled.

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.

I'm sorry you live in the Bronx. The rail lines are much better in Queens.

Of course, you could have settled into Staten Island. That would have been a real shit sandwich.

I was living on Staten Island for about a month. I managed to get out of there two days before Sandy hit. :v

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.

If you walk off Rue Bourbon at night, carry a gun. And learn to sweat. A lot. That aside, it's a fun town for a young man.

That's what I told him.

I've got family there I don't visit nearly often enough.

I don't really like guns, especially with my eyesight. But I'd probably look into some kind of stun baton.

Seems like a good way of being hassled by the cops. Also, I understand a lot of places in New Orleans won't let you take guns inside.

I don't actually plan on getting a gun. But from what I understand NO is a little bit more dangerous than the average city.

God you're dumb. You barely escape Sandy so your natural instinct is to move to a more hurricane prone area?

I took it into consideration. If it weren't for the fact that I know a lot of people that live down there I'd probably look elsewhere.

When you drown can I have what's left of your belongings?
