I've been living abroad nearly two years now. Now that my time here is winding down, I'm looking toward my future for the first time ever. Where will I go, what will I do? Blah, blah, blah, the things most people dwell upon.In February my contract at Wonkwang University will end and I will be traveling to Thailand and Laos for a month or so with two buddies. Then what?!
In April I'll head home to OKC to see friends and family before I make my next adventure. I'll be driving across the country and hopefully up the western coast to Portland to call the Evergreen Pacific Northwest my new home. Oklahoma is a 'great place to raise your kids', that's always what you hear from people. Which is just an excuse to never leave. Some people live perfectly satisfactory lives in conservative middle America, I'm not that person.
Job? Dear lord, I wish I knew. Everyone keeps talking about the job situation in America, 'why would you go back, there are no jobs'. Well come on folks, I'm American, shouldn't I go back at some point? This may sound completely strange and random but I'm going to try and break into the voice over artist industry. They are they guys who do the radio commercials, sportscasting, cartoon voices. I know, random right? I have a buddy in town that has a friend that does this job and he claims that I have more talent than he does (due to hearing me at open mic nights). So, I'll give it a try, if it doesn't work out then I'll do something else.
