fleeting

I keep forgetting I have this, since I hate being in my office these days- I've really lost the time where I can really enter into this blog. How short lived.
But anyways- I feel that change is coming!

I've been talking to Joshua a lot about exploring new cities, and countries and I've recently reeved up the talk on this topic. And i've finally got him on board for a new journey. And even if he wasn't, this is an itch I feel like I have to scratch.
The talk as been of San Fransico, which I've never been to, and my only "real memories" of this city is from Full House, 40 days and 40 nights, and that romantic comedy with cameron diaz and selma blair.
Besides it being on the west coast (gross!), theres a shit load of asians( which for some reason, i feel it is a negative), and i'm not sure about the public transportation (I dont want to have to rely on my car)- I guess it looks like a pretty cool city.
I dont know how i feel about hills and rain...but eh. The other city i was thinking about was seattle, which is not so hilly but just as rainy and less big city-ish (which i think i really need.)
I've been looking at apartments on craigslist and looking into the neighborhoods, all over the country, and i guess it seems that San Fran might be the place.
I've got to go out there and check it all out.
I'm also thinking about vancouver, hong kong, seattle, tokyo, shanghai, and well just about anywhere where you can still get by with just English (i really really wished joshua spoke one more language.) I thought about Buenos Aires, but then my uncle was like- Argentina is only good to visit. I guess living there is kinda hard for younger people.

I think my City Requirements are pretty reasonable so a lot of places open up.
1. Urban!
2. Good public Transportation
3. Cultural institutions, schools, stores, museums a plenty.
4. Decent job market.
I'm totally ready and willing to not have a "career"- I'd like to be in a city where working part time, and living in a one bedroom apartment will leave me plenty of time to do art. I mean, when is it ever a good time to pick up and move? I always feel like it's either now or never.
