I want to move to California
    #19138993 - 11/14/13 11:13 PM (10 years, 2 months ago)

I live in the Midwest.
Its fucking freezing and I never see the sun...

I currently work midnights at a health club and am also an actor.
I have a BA too to help my cause in finding work if I make the move.

California is the acting mecca if the world, so that's obviously one reason I'm interested in moving.
But I also am seeking a change.  This current life in leading is just mundane.
I can seek work in Chicago but I don't have a lust to live there like I do Cali..

I've entertained the idea of just getting to Cali and figuring it out when I got there..But that could be quite the gamble.  I do know a few people over there who claim they will help me out with housing to begin...

What are your thoughts Shroomery brethren?

Its so hard to get into the industry without any connection, so many people are trying to become actors/ singers here and a lot (especially in Hollywood) become crazy and homeless.

I wouldn't want to live in California. Too expensive, IMO.

The cold is crippling to my being :sad:

I really have nothing hold me back here...I have a legit agent but she finds me work/opportunities seldomly currently and I don't have a girl and am unattached from my friends and family (I think)

My issue lies with money..I don't have much so to say its a risk would be a generous way to word this idea.

CALIFORNIA WAS A BAD CHOICE...seriously fuck this gaddamn state. Have fun paying some of the highest rent, taxes, and commodity expenses in the country. And enjoy your fucking 405/5/110/605 freeways...

Material things aren't really of importance to me at this point in my life.
All I really need is a roof and food..I have a car.

yeah once that roof costs more than you can make. and the gas to get that car to your job puts you in the red, you start to rethink things.

Yes I know that's why I'm thinking things now,,
I've also considered living out of my car till I get a feel for the land.

I've gone mad in a sense because I don't care about my long-term future. I just want to live intuitively and be content doing it.  If my intuition is wrong and I fuck myself, its whatever I suppose :shrug:

Retirement and all that jazz seems like a Pipedream to me.

It's all about location. Location is always worth more than the home itself. The midwest sucks, come out to the Golden State and live it up. :crazy2:

i had a buddy that lived out of his car..

until he couldnt pass smog in california due to the higher emissions standards.  then his tags expired.. turned into a mess.

alot of beauty... lot of corrupt stupid bullshit..

if your smoking cigs in your own backyard and your neighbor doesnt like it, they can call you in for it.. just a heads up on what its like..

personally it was great for the first 6 or so years.. but then after a while.. i just wanted to be left the fuck alone.

I actually just finished living in my car for the better part of 8 months. Shit is not fun dude. Became borderline suicidal. Seriously don't commit to it unless you got some real assured income and look up rent in the spots you wanna move into, budget everything out so you know what you'll need to have coming in.

I just feel like I put myself in a corner.
I could have gone the conventional route and got a 9-5 after college and been content.. Looking back on it I almost wish I did that just to be comfortable.

Now my life is absolutely crazy in an artistic way and I feel like I'm already 6 feet deep, why not just keep digging into this bizarre reality that I'm creating.

go for it man. i love it here, the only ones who complain about it are :sissies:

it's not the best place in the world obviously but you should come and visit if you really want to and try it out for yourself. i've never been up north, mostly south, but it's great here nontheless. not everything is expensive here, you can find a great place with a great deal if you look hard enough.

as for your career in acting, i'd look into small homemade films and shit as much as possible. get as much practice as you possibly can and you will no doubt succeed. :cool::thumbup:
