If any of you feel like you're stuck in a rut, just need a change of pace or scenery - or are just looking for something new because the old is wearing you down... just go.

Do it. Stop wasting your life. Life is too short to wish you were doing something else.

What is it that you wish you could do, but don't feel like you can, because of a job you're stuck at or something else?

Find a way to make it happen. You can do it. And it will be worth it. ESPECIALLY to those of you who are single or married without kids. Get off your arse and go be happy.

I just made a huge move up to Colorado after living most of my life in Tuscaloosa. Saved up some money, found a place to live for cheap, sold my car to get something more practical, quit my job, packed my shite, and left. It was the best decision I can remember making - if for no other reason than my own mental health.

So, here's to you - OT. Go live. Go be happy. Find your passions and pursue those things. Be who you were meant to be.

Thanks to those of you who gave me advice a couple weeks ago. It was a lot of help and really helped me solidify my decision to make a move. My wife will be joining me in May.

That's awesome man.

My job takes me all over the country. I was actually in Denver a couple weeks ago, and now I'm in Phoenix.

So, I don't have to move to see the sights, but I know what you mean.

Go and enjoy life.

Right on brother!

Follow your dreams. Or the Money. Or the thing that makes the most sense.

Some of us didn't pull out and have little League, ballet, gymnastics, football, soccer practice. You know. Grown up shite to do.

No matter how good the advice you may give me sounds, I don't think I could trust a Yankee fan Gump that hauled arse and left everything and resides in CO. Sorry
