this last year has been a bit crazy for me; i can't figure out if i'm gonna stay here in texas or move back to cali. it's not really a choice so much as trying to get into a good firm. i'm not very fond of texas with not being a native but a lot of the funding for projects i usually work on in california are being cut forcing me to hang here. i have also been following politics here stateside for a while. it wasn't something i was ever into, guess just one of those things that comes with maturity. i have definitely been discontent with the current administration. i have never been one to pick parties, i'm more of an independent but i tend to have more democratic views; and just for the count i did not vote for bush either time. i have been quite pleased to see the rest of america waking up to the bs him and the republican party has put are country through, and definitely believed despite a black man or a woman the dems would be a shoe in. i woke today watching the news to find that mccain now leads in the polls by 4 points are you kidding me?! last week obama was up 13. which brings me to my point, if my country puts another republican in office i'm out, out the country, done. i was actually approached at a conference over the summer to go work in the uk. at the time i declined but took his card for future reference. my wife is fully behind me if we do this but this is were you guys from over there come in, i've only ever been to denmark and wouldn't know where to go. i've contacted my contact and he basically said i could live anywhere in the uk, but thats pretty big right? i failed geography but doesn't britain cover scotland down to wales? so what is a hip but not too trendy for two young (about to break 30) professionals. we basically want to be centralized in area with a little bit of it all.
