    I am content with my life. I am sitting up in bed, being looked after and then some by my wife and some of me da's imported Guiness while I recover. Life is good! (insert smilie).

    Dude. My life rocks! I could not ask for anything better. I have attained every dream I have ever sought thus far, and others are all on the horizon. I don't know why the Lord favors me so.

    You take it one day at a time baby, and today I've got the day off and no responsibilities whatsoever.

    You have to treasure the little things that bring you happiness, they add up. I'm good at that. So I'm off to the local greasy spoon for my Saturday breakfast and the paper, then home for a nap on the couch, followed by a trip downstairs for a snooze, then maybe out back into the hammock for a rest. Ahhhhhh.

    As soon as I'm finished with my coffee and the paper I'll lift up my head and tell you that life... it's fine.

    I'm delighted with my life. I've got a lovely family, excellent friends and no major health problems. I'm off to London to be a student next year, I've got a clearly defined path career-wise, and my whole life is ahead of me. I'm also really rather satisifed with me, and think I'm quite a cool person, really.

    So, yes.

    I wouldn't say happy, or unhappy but rather content. And if I had to choose one (which I did) I'd say I lean more towards being happy with my life as it has worked out pretty well so far, though there have been a number of dissappointments and things I would have rather not had to deal with, but that's life.

    I won't be happy with life until the State Department gives me my damn green card so I can move to Texas. Then I will be happy.

    My favorite questions:
    What is your nationality and country of birth? both English.
    .... then....
    Do you speak fluent English?

    Gah I wish I lived farther out in the country. Can't do as much here on the border. (suburbs for miles on one side of the road and farms and a buffalo ranch for miles on the other side) I literally live right on the border.


    But I have food, shelter and clothes....and countless thing's I don't need so I am doing pretty good imo. It could be better though.

    Life is good. Aced A-levels despite going to a state school, can legally buy spirits, have a pretty girlfriend, well-paying work lined up for a gap year, the opportunity to travel, and then a med-school place.

    Why would that help? It's not like you lose your pension plan when moving abroad, you know. The British oldsters will still pick up their slice of money and spend it in Spain instead of the UK, making things even worse.
    You're deluding yourself. I've just been to both one after the other. California is so fake. Tex is where it's at.

    Just enjoying the last weeks of summer before I gear up for another year at UCLA. Yeah... for the first time in a very long time. I can actually say life is pretty darn good.

    The fakes ones are from other states. This happens a lot when you live in a state that attracts an incredible amount of people.

    The housing prices are expensive only because they are high.

    Food - The only thing Texas does better in this category is BBQ. But California does barbeque so much better. When I moved to Colorado I thought at least they'd have some decent Mexican food. Its TERRIBLE! I've got to fly back to California for some food. Seafood is much better in California,


    Land - Using your standards on Mexicans you win in quantity but not quality. There is a reason people pay so much for so little in California.


    People- We have Texans in California! Lots of them. That guy who is in the movies. He is from Texas. Hmmm, although I will say of all the immigrants to California Texas didn't rank very high. Maybe thats because the Oregon trail didn't go through Texas. Or they all got drowned in a river on the way over.


    Women - Do you like pornographies ? If you do, Californias the place you ought to be!

    Mexicans - Was Ceasar Chavez a Texan ? If he was that only proves your all communists. If he wasn't than I'm pretty sure he's a Californian. In which case you're all communists.

    Topography - Under is where its at. And we've got lots of that.

    NASA - JPL! JPL! JPL! Plus Boeing, Lockheed, and various other incredible companies that make lasers and missiles. Not to mention that all the thinking that built the internets was done in Calfornia.

    Oil - We don't need oil. We run on Corn and hummus!

    Cowboys - We have lots of those on TV.


    Now I'll add some:


    Oceans- Better waves and better sharks in California. Overall better ocean food.

    Weather - We've got it all. Hot, cold, and everywhere in between. Mountains, deserts, valleys, redwood rainforests, bigfoot, shamu. Everything.

    Citys - With San Francisco we got that covered. If you don't have transvestites for sale or fear for your life or walk around in your underpants or can't pee in public its not a city. I don't think anywhere in Texas qualifies.

    Am I pleased with it? No. I'm not saying I have a bad life, infact in terms of the oportunities I've been given I'm quite lucky. But it could always be better, and the moment I'm pleased with my lot is the moment I stop seeking to improve it.
    When Adam delved and Eve span, Who was then the gentleman? From the beginning all men by nature were created alike, and our bondage or servitude came in by the unjust oppression of naughty men. For if God would have had any bondsmen from the beginning, he would have appointed who should be bound, and who free. And therefore I exhort you to consider that now the time is come, appointed to us by God, in which ye may (if ye will) cast off the yoke of bondage, and recover liberty. - John Ball
