Now who else wanna fukk with Hollywood Court?
I like it here though. I really don't want to travel and teach english. Thanks for the suggestion, but I honestly can't see myelf doing that at all. Teaching ESL classes I'd like to do though.

My goal was to always was to move to NY, work a shytty job for a bit until I could find a better one, establish myself, do music on the side and work to support my income, and do fashion shyt but I've had a rough start getting off the ground (story of my life). I just would like to get something working out here before leaving that I can put on my resume.


You weren't happy in Pittsburgh, you aren't happy in NY, chances are you won't be happy in the next place you land. Which is why I suggest to travel, so you can at least get a feel for other places.

What are your goals and aspirations?

You have to be willing to make sacrifices if you want to reach your goals.

My goals were to work a steady job to fund my ventures further with my spreadshirt and boardpusher line. I'm just that confident about it that with the right push and movement behind it it could actually be a visible If I could just save up $1,500 that would help out because I don't have to get into quotas and production costs with spreadshirt.

I just do music on the side though, its more of a hobby but I enjoy doing shows and playing live. I have passion and talent for it and have had to for years.

Use to be 10 years ago.

If you don't have double digit stacks saved up or a job before moving there then you really kiddin yourself.

Not to get to personal, but how much in savings do you have before you run out? Gotta be some kind of urgency, right?
It's not really urgent I already paid my rent for this month. I got plenty of money left. This is more of a if I can't find anything within two months workwise situation, then I'll just swallow my pride and move back home. It's not like there's work for me in Pittsburgh either.

What's wrong with moving back home?

NY is overrated if you are broke/ working class. Its played out and that come-up story you heard in movies and in songs is long dead. I move around the world for cheap.

I was broke and jobless in Pittsburgh and I just didn't fit in there. I just thought there would be more opportunities here and a better chance of opportunity here for me in New York. I just wanted a chance at a decent job, a chance to make decent money, to maybe have a girlfriend or two or three or four or five, and a chance to get myself out there in the world and make my talents known.

That's why I wasn't happy in Pittsburgh. It was because I felt like an outsider there and the lack of opportunity there made me feel like a prisoner. Now that I have friends here and actually fit in somewhere, I just want things to work out that's why I don't want to give up.

NY, you waste all your money on paying rent and food.

I really hate Pittsburgh. I just have many bad memories from being there. I was born and raised there and lived there for the majority of my life. There's just nothing for someone like me there.
