Where would you live? Question 4

While reading the Book of Questions I came across this question that had me thinking for a few days. Come to think of it, quite a few questions in the Book of Questions has cause me to really think about them.  But this question I really have to answer in many points of views.

Ignoring all financial considerations, would you rather spend the next 5 years confined to an urban mecca like New York City, or a beautiful, isolated town on the California coast?

First let me speak on my own personal view on this question: neither.  They are both expensive to live at because where do I want to spend my money at or on . . .FOOD!  Eating at various restaurants is what I love to do and I would have a fit if one, I could not find a good restaurant living in an isolated town in California and two, having to wait months to get into a good restaurant while living in a city like New York City.  Yes, for me food would be the key.

But let me say what a lot of us would be thinking about both California and New York City.  A few or many are waiting for that one earthquake that would cause California to fall into the Pacific Ocean. It is not funny but it is the joke! The coast line along California is very beautiful but that damn joke in annoying to have in the back on one’s mind. With New York City one of two things can happen. One being that one year a really bad snow storm comes along and hide the city for a year or two. Or two, if the icebergs in both North and South Poles should melt away completely causing a huge water surge that could completely take the city underwater.  Another thought to have in the back of one’s mind. (Haha haha!)

(Just think about it!)

If I did not have to consider having those adequate finances then I would be doing some research on which state would be the best to live in would be advised. Of course, that almighty JOB would be very sequential to one survival regardless of where you live.

If I was rich, I don’t think that I would want to live in neither location, however I would find a city that I find comfortable to live in.  Though most people would want to live in a big city like New York or Miami or Chicago. If we go out the United Stated, I think most women would prefer Paris or London. I am going for London myself if I was rich. But now that I think about I think I would have a house in somewhere in the states and one in London, and just travel to everywhere staying a week here and a week there.

Though I am sure that many of you do have somewhere in mind as to where you would live at if you were rich or even if you could ignore all financial considerations, you have an ideal as to where you want to be living at.

Take a moment to think about that question that I asking in this piece. What would you do if put in that position?  I’m curious.

Until next time . . . .

Obsessions!!

So I was talking to some friends about things that we are obsessed with. Everyone one of us have something that we obsessed about, take a moment to think about what your true obsessions.  Mines is watching tv shows from Korea. Occasionally I might catch a good one from China or Japan. Many of us have obsessions that is beyond the normal land what I mean by normal is afford; like collecting art, stamps, tattoos, diamonds to name a few. However let me narrow it down to a few obsessive things to be obsess about. If you had to be obsessed with one  of these things like money, sex, sports, religion or food, what would it be?

In my mind here is what I am thinking: Money kills!! You have people who are so obsessed with money that they are willing to killing a family member or their best friend. A stranger killing another man for his millions is very common. We see it all the time in the television shows. That is why if I ever win the lottery I am not telling my family or friends. Why? Because some of us know that the more money you have, the more problems you get. You got family members who think that they are entitled to get a piece of your good fortune. So they find a way to take that money away from you even through the courts. Though money is necessity to pay those damn bills, pay that car note or fix it, and to purchase our favorite foods with because we got to eat.  While most people spend more money on gas, I spend mines on Uber or Uber Eats. Overall most of us think that money is the root of all problems, and yes it is! That is why most of us have 401Ks.

When I was younger I was obsessed with sex. Now, I am at the age where I am ready to cut his off if he gets too happy it. If I become pregnant at my age, I am cutting his off. If he touch that Hennessey, I am cutting it off. And I love the person who invented batteries.

Now I have traveled around the world and have meet some serious sports funatics. Over in Europa a lot of killings be going on over some serious football (soccer) games. Here in the states, we just get injury with a flying baseball or a leaping quarterback. If you lucky you might get run over by a basketball player.  It amazes me that real sports fans will travel for the favorite team. The amount of money they spend on items for their favorite team like jerseys, hats, scarfs and jogging outfits, etc. The amount of money they spend tickets to the games as well as tickets for the flight to go to the game in a different cities or countries. They even know all the statics involving previous games.  I have a hard time understanding the statistics surrounding my neighborhood.

With all due respect to everyone’s religion regardless of your ethnicity, this is one subject matter I will not touch. There are people who are far more serious about their religion than they are about their football. Nope not touching it. I wish everyone regardless of what religion they belong to, good luck and peace.

As for food, this is a love affair that everyone has including the babies. It is a subject that I would like to spend my life with being in love.  You know when you have a full understanding of how much you love food when you start sounding like Fred Flintstone, “Where is my dinner, Wilma?” With today’s food some of us are obsessed with various ethnic foods, certain dishes, variety of popcorn especially from Garrett’s, certain restaurants.  From that burger to the fried fish, to the barbecue, to which Mexican restaurant has the best tacos. C’mon now you know what particular food you have a fetish for. Mines is Pho with filet mignon, Turkish pizza, chips and salsa, oh my list just goes on and on. The problem is finding a man with the same stomach as me. (Many have tried and have failed!!)

When it comes to food, I am not single minded about that and is open to trying food items. I appreciate the chefs that create new food items for us to try.  I appreciate the various ethnicity in which food can be found in with its various spices to create all new taste buds for us.

So I think that I have made it clear as to what I would have a very strong obsession in/with, that being food. So I am going to pass the question to you: of the five choices that I named at the beginning of this piece, which one would you have an obsession with? Or do you have one that is not on the list? Either way what is your obsession?

Is it Jealousy or What?

I so need to vent and usually when I vent I often go to one of my friends, however, what I need to vent about, I am sure that maybe one or ...
