So anyone here live in PA? I'm thinking about leaving NY State and hopping the border. I can't take this place anymore and I'm one last straw away from ditching ship.
How do you like it? Anything I need to know? I'm looking to live around Matamoras so I'll be close to my family but still in PA.
Thought this was neat to share

There's still a functioning drive-in movie where I live, too.

PA isn't an improvement
Everything is $3 more, people are weird, everything is also far from each other unless you live in a more urbanized area, overall I wouldn't recommend it unless you really really want to get out of NY, which I don't blame ya for and have actually been pretty much considering the same shit as you, I have a buddy in Allentown who is like practically begging me to go hang with him and start making home movies and do some writing projects together in an attempt to get dosh.

It's the gun laws mostly that are forcing me out. Also the crime. Matamoras is a really nice, quiet small-town type of place and I'm really into that.
Except there are no jobs to speak of for me. I have no idea what anyone actually does for work. There is a Walmart, Home Depot and a Lowes. So where do people work?
I know we're talking about a town with like 2,000 people living there but I'm genuinely confused.
Any local factories or industrial areas?

i'm not sure accommodating your entire life plans to gun ownership is a solid way of going about things
There is a quarry but it doesn't look big enough to employ much of anyone.
My occupation is pretty flexible. Everywhere needs a security guard. There are some places to work I just don't have a huge selection.
I'm applying for my NY pistol permit and it's a huge long process complete with interview and a judge approving or denying you and I have a bad feeling about it. I need the permit to get an armed security guard license which is where I want to go right now with my current career plans but if I get denied I sorta have no choice but to move to a state where they're not a strict.

well, the only thing i can think of is
- do you have a degree or some form of background in criminal justice
- do you have any form of police record (even shit like tickets)
- have you taken any sort of psychology exams to show you are mentally capable of handling a firearm maturely
- in addition to that, have you taken any firearm training
if the answers to those are what i think they should be (yes, no, yes, yes) then i think you should be fine. yeah it sucks waiting for the shit to go through since ny is just as liberal about gun laws as california is but if you've got nothing to worry about and don't plan to shoot up a place or any people i think you can rest easy.
of course, you could just stick to rifles and shotguns.
In NJ, they literally don't need a reason to reject a pistol permit application iirc.
NJ has one of the most restrictive gun laws in the country.

I'm going to sign up for Fall classes but haven't done it yet for that degree field. No criminal record, no arrests, never even been pulled over and I have a guard card. Nothing is wrong with me. I just feel like maybe they'll look at my age or the interview will go bad and somehow I'll be denied. I have a really tough investigator assigned to me I believe.
So I guess I just have to wait or see. The wait is killing me though.
I'm going to Didney Worl on Saturday. Staying for a week or so. Should be fun.
woolio how was/is disney world?
Disney World was great. I'm on my way back up to Tennessee now.
If you go, get the dining plan. Lot less stressful than having to manage a food budget. We would have spent $500 more if we had paid outright for meals than we did for the dining plan. (The food is... surprisingly good, I'll be honest. Check out my twitter (@JaredWsSb) if you want to see some of the stuff I thought was worth sharing.)
Also, the new band system for park admission, fastpass, purchases, and hotels is fantastic. I didn't carry a wallet all week, just my phone and the band. Entrance lines are shorter than ever, fastpasses are instant, and everything just works quickly and unobtrusively. It's pretty incredible.
It's hot, though. And it's only going to get hotter this season. November/December's probably the best time to go, and by far the cheapest. Dining plan's free in the off-season too, if you stay on site, so that's a huge bonus.
Northern Kentucky should be it's own state, I'm thinking we can get Louisville and Lexington cut out with us.

Thoughts for a better kentucky.
Plus we can have four commonwealths state. I don't like odd numbers.
NYC should be its own state. And let the rest of NY have actual representation.
The Monaco GP, then the Indianapolis 500, and then the Coke 600?
Today is a good day. Let's go racin', boys and girls!
I woke up early today, so I wrote a little piece on retrofuturism. Inspired by Tomorrowland. Sort of.
That movie really got me thinking, not about the movie in particular, because it was kind of unspectacular... But the themes, really, I thought were kind of interesting. The theme of the movie is basically that we've given up dreaming, we don't think as big as we used to. Baby boomer nostalgia masturbation. So I decided to look at that, and I realized that we still have amazing people doing amazing things, we just don't think about it as much. We're not as wowed by it.
Anyway, here it is, in all its longform glory.

87 today with extreme humidity
Yeah, summer is here.
george w bush was behind 9/11
In other news, I'm gonna be moving a few towns north starting next week. Looking forward to the slight change of environment. I'm [I]not [/I]looking forward to having to take my desk apart and then put it back together. That thing was a pain in the ass to get put together.
Damn my current place's weird layout that makes moving it as a whole nearly impossible without causing damage.
What state to what state?
[QUOTE=Emperor Scorpious II;47818539]What state to what state?[/QUOTE]
I'm not moving out of state (in fact, I'll still be in the same county), so... New York to New York?
oh god you live in new york too
i hope you don't live in suffolk
The flooding is getting really ridiculous here around Houston.
Some of my friend's relatives got arrested for boating down a flooded road yesterday.
I went to San Antonio to visit my girlfriend on Monday, and then missed over a foot of rain in two days
basically just got out in the nick of time
