Been thinking of moving.

I have been thinking of leaving Wagga over the last couple of days (well after I finish my course), Some coversations I have been having with a freind of mine maid me relise that I have just been sort of drifting along letting life pass me by.

The conversation went something along the lines of how he finally managed to hook up with this girl he liked and now she's moving to Brisbane. He went on to say that he has been in Wagga for 8 years now, and this is the first time he has managed to hook up with a decent girl, and now she's gunna take off. So he's starting to think he should take off to Brisbane too, because in 8 years nothing else good has really happend for him.

Now, this has sort of got me thinking, I've been here for 4 years now, and not many oportunities have really presented themselves to me since I have been here. when I moved here 4 years ago I was flat broke, had no licence, no job, single and stuck living with my parents. Now 4 years later I'm flat broke, no licence, a crap job that I hate, single and still stuck living with my parents.

Now this is a start contrast to my life in Temora, where quite simply I had a great life, evrything was going well for me and the future looked bright, well looked bright untill I moved to Wagga.

It hasn't been all bad though, I've made some good freinds and got myself some handy skills/qualifications. However, I'm starting to feel as though there isn't really much in the way of oportunity here though and so not much of a future.

So I have been thinking of leaving and heading to someplace with more opportunities, I'm thinking either Melbourne, Sydney or Brisbane. There seems to be a fair bit of work in the digital media industry in these areas.

Oh well thats enough of that rant.

I'm also applying for an ABN, this should allow me to (legally) go out and start doing some freelance work. I've also got a couple of commercial style web-sites on the boil that I'll hopefully get a few advertising dollars from. I've also got to get off my arse and start putting my portfolio together, especially some of my works with graphics as thats something I've been neglecting a bit lately.
