Oh, how I love these sorts of threads.

It's absolutely agonizing having to wait two years so I can leave the United States. Pretty much, my entire time spent here has been a waste. The shitty public school system I had to go through was against me, and a lot of the students there were against me as well. And anyone (namely the Psychologist in my High School) who was on my side was either shut up or forced out. Funny enough, all of the people I get along well with are other people I know who are extremely disgusted with the United States or first generation immigrants who realized it was a mistake to come here in the first place. The whole thing with the Public School (it was about 9 years) left a really bad mark on the way I see this country. And I'm not gonna spend my entire life jumping from state to state trying to find a place I like. I'd rather rid myself of this country and never have to deal with it again. So, yeah. Just a matter of time, and then I can have a fresh start to my new life as a European. :/

Yeah, I definitely know how you feel. I realized a while back that the US is pretty damn shitty in most aspects, what with a pitiful public education system, etc. Like you, I plan to move to Germany at some point, but I don't know where to start.

Two days ago we had a big thunderstorm roll in. The kind that brought hail and confirmed tornado touchdowns with it. I guess either the surges that hit our stuff were packing too much of a jolt or some of our supposedly surge protected bars were elderly, because we lost a lot of shit. All three computers downstairs, our debit machine, our router, our modem, a fridge, and half the lights in the building are completely shot.

The only things that were spared was the upstairs computer, the tv and my beloved xbox alongside my labtop which wasn't plugged in at the time.(Thank fucking christ)

So now I have to figure out how to fix and replace all this broken shit, move it, dismantle it, and buy the new replacements for everything and then install everything. Gonna buy some brand sparkly fucking new surge protectors too. Put surge protectors on the surge protectors.

Wow.

I swear you are one optimistic motherfucker after all the shit you go through.

Things can be ugly, and by all means everybody has the right to be upset. But everybody's got the power to change that. On the plus side, on the day that it happened, I was out and about working, and successfully offloaded an old school bus with my friend without using a crane or tractor that was used to lift the thing onto the trailer in the first place. We used logs, a truck, a few jacks, and some good old fashioned manpower to move it.

Now my sister has a greenhouse once we rip all the seats out and do a little work on it, and a free structural base to add additions on plus a structure that will never fall apart.

Take the bad days when they come, but learn to leave them behind and keep putting one foot in front of the other is all you got's to do. And, on the bright side, all the stuff that got fried will eventually be replaced with shiny new upgraded stuff. But I know I'm going to make damn sure that I keep an eye out on the age of surge protectors in the future.

Patrolling the Mojave almost makes you wish for a nuclear winter.

Why can't you just be an artist who happens to be Christian? I don't think the Christian scene is terribly active.

As someone who has to listen to a CCM station at work all morning, I can tell you that the scene is very big, and has lots of rising talent.

Thats your fault.

*doesn't tip fedora*

How is the fact no church in town will give me a chance, my fault?
And how is the fact that religious material isn't allowed in local venues, also my fault?
Elaborate.

Exactly, just not in my local area.
Churches everywhere.
I tried to get a local 10 date tour going........after 2 months of trying, I finally have 3 next month.
I'm shocked pastors won't even consider it.......I don't want money, just the opportunity.
