Time For a New Heading

The circumstances into which I am thrust have gotten me thinking deeply about the future.  I have talked it over with friends, turned it over in my head, now my mind is made up.  I am getting my Oracle certifications, selling my home and moving to San Francisco, California!  I am ready to forget about everything that happened here and rebuild my life.

Its going to take a few months to get all of this accomplished, but I am more ready than ever to shed most of my possessions and live a minimalist life over there for a few years, build some net-worth, make some friends, take-in some culture and I am also interested in continuing my training in Tai Chi and Choy Li Fut at Doc-Fai-Wong’s School in the Sunset District.

I talked with an old friend who moved to San Francisco a year or two ago, we discussed the finer points of the tech industry, cost of living and general life in San Francisco.  It seems quite apparent that more money could be made over there, as there are more opportunities (including opportunities with startups that can be very economically rewarding) and the pay after cost of living increase is far greater than good-ole Alabama.

I appreciate all of the good times that I had with friends and family here in Alabama, and I will miss them, but I don’t want to live and die in this place.  I want to go somewhere where I can experience more of what life has to offer and get out of the rut that living in this town has gotten me into.  Life is too short to stay in Huntsville, Alabama.
