I don't know, barking. I make a lot of mistakes. Most of them before breakfast...
If you want me to justify my reasons for moving here, fine.
Australia was starting to slide into a quiet recession(link below), and I was having serious issues with some of the decisions the government was making.
That and I had always been fascinated by the "American dream". We saw it in movies and theatre growing up and I wanted to check it out for myself. Is that so culpable?

- MAGZine 13y agoTotally understandable. Even though American culture seems to be seen around the world, you rarely hear of the issues. In Canada, there is less isolation/insulation. I've stated for many years now that I'd refused to move to the US until their country is fixed. Which is a damn shame, because there is so much cool, interesting shit happening.
- bengrunfeld 13y agoTell me about it! By being part of the tech industry here, you get to rub shoulders with the likes of Zuckerburg, Dorsey, & Bezos. That type of exposure just doesn't exist in Australia. Unfortunately there are some other issues though....
- junto 13y agoI think there is a good reason why it is called the 'American Dream'. For the vast majority it is just that - a dream.
