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 . . . .

Learning Language and Love

Okay so once again I was reading in my favorite book, The Book of Questions when I became stuck on this question: If it was the only way you could remain with the love of your life, would you be willing for both of you to wake up tomorrow as native speakers of an unfamiliar foreign language, knowing the within a week you’d permanently forget the languages you now speak and largely be cut off from your friends and culture?  If so, what new language would you want to speak, and why? The first thing that came to mind was who would not want a lover or have the thought of having that foreign lover who could either speak French and Italian.  I know I did and I think that is why I took up Spanish in high school for the last 2 years. Then when I got in college, I continue with my Spanish and I took up Russian, Greek and Italian. Crazy right? Considering the Greek and Russian alphabets are so similar and that Spanish and Italian have some similar words. It was not until 9 ye...

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 two of you are also dealing with the same thing. I have some family members that are just simply either jealous of my accomplishments or just mad that they themselves did not also reach their own potential, goals or dreams. I am going to tell you two major things that bothers me about my family.  But first, let me give you some insight as to where this all came from. When I was young around when I was still in grade school, I told my grandmother that I was going to accomplish 3 things in my life: live in Europe (actually moved to Istanbul, Turkey), become a model which I never did and I forgot what the third thing was, however, I did accomplish it. I was also in  high school when I got pregnant with my son Nick, while I was in labor, I told my mother and my grandmother that I would never have another. So come 2006 or 2007 and my gr...

Breaking the Cycle!

As a parent we always want the best for our child(ren)., and we start with educating them on things that we think that would be best for them to know as they grow up.  I was still a teenager when I became pregnant with my only child, Nicolas.  Did I wanted a child at that time?  No I didn't and it was my mother who said to keep him and that she would help me raise him.  My mother was also a teenage parent starting with me and a year later came my one of two brothers.  Now you are probably thinking that my mother why didn't she teach me not to become a teenage parent?   I am assuming that and I was right, that she did not know how.  She wanted to do my best with my life but she did not know to explain to me how to go about living life.  Growing up with 3 younger siblings I saw the struggles that my mother went through, and in my head I knew that I was not willing to do some of things that she.  I knew in my head that if I was ...
