Do you ever get the urge to just pick up and move far away?

[QUOTE="16kOrBust, post: 10900904, member: 132701"] I've played a few shows out in Endicott/Binghamton and I'll be honest, I could never see myself living somewhere like that. The few people I knew from out there didn't really do anything except go out to the local bars to drink (which I suppose isn't a whole lot different than most places), but it just seemed so dead out there. The thing I really like about cities, and particularly liked about Boston, is that there's a constant stream of new people coming in and out on a regular basis. Especially with a college town like Boston (I forget how many hundred colleges and universities there are up there), there's a very young crowd from undergrad to graduate students and recently graduated, and the faces change every year. On top of that (and being a musician), I love the artistic side of most cities. Museums and orchestras and shows and life. I feel like I'm alive when I'm living in a city, and like everyone else is out there chasing life and trying to make the most of it. The young adult atmosphere does so much for my mood and motivation. In suburbia, I feel like everyone is in this one dimensional life where you go to work, do some chores around the house, then wait to die. The youngest people I work with are five or more years older than me and there are only a few of them. Most are in their 40's and 50's, or getting ready to retire. My biggest fear is getting to a point where I can no longer enjoy myself in a "young" atmosphere and mindset, then looking back and regretting not having made the most of that part of my life. Man, I'm a downer today, huh? :shrug: Kids definitely make a big difference. That's one more reason I feel like I really need to take advantage of this part of my life, because aside from a great girlfriend, I have no one to worry about except myself. Most of my family is from this area but my parents spend most of the year in Florida, my uncles have mostly moved to MA or FL, one of my brothers is going down to FL with my parents, and I just don't feel it's necessary to have to be close to anyone in particular right now. And I really dislike the winters in the Northeast. Shoveling snow on a regular basis and having to use up sick days because it takes hours to dig ourselves out of the driveway is not my idea of a good time. Literally the only thing holding me back from at least trying out a new area is employment. [/QUOTE]
