"I'm a Fat Crook from New Jersey"
I don't belong here. I really don't. This is what has been bothering me lately. I'm really not crazy about AZ people at all. Who am I fooling actually believing that I can adapt and ENJOY living in the desert? I can't really describe the people but it's definitely a weird vibe. All people want to do out here is get married young. And, if they are not busy marrying each other........they are trying to hook up with each other. They are not as fake as people from California but they are definitely not fun like Cali people either. It's like these people don't know how it's like to just chill and have a good time. It's all about hooking up. At least people in CA and NY/NJ know how to just chill and enjoy each other's company. It's weird here. Everyone keeps saying.........well go to Tempe - it's party central out there. People in Tempe are so damn corny. They are all college students that look like they shop at the same place, get their hair done at the same place, all the bars are the same, and everyone acts the same. No originality whatsoever. Besides - if you are 30......the chances are out here that you are already married.
I want to go back to CA but maybe not San Francisco. I loved CA but I felt like people only live for the moment out there. Almost like people can't hold friendships for more than a few months........few weeks even. Over there is the opposite problem I noticed. Instead of people marrying young out there.........I find that they have difficulty marrying at all. The liberal attitude is so strong and people are constantly meeting each other and talking to each other.........that people feel like no one is there type. I found that people found it hard to stay in a relationship out there. Maybe it's just San Francisco and I'm judging too hard. But to me that state has an overabundance of single people. Seems like people there can't find "their type" out there. But, that's the thing........do they really know who their type is?
Then there is my home - New Jersey and my favorite city - New York. To me that is where I connect with the people the most. The best people in the world to me come from NY. Even when I chat online........the people that I am drawn to the most are people from NY/NJ. I know that if I move back home..........I will have no problem finding someone to settle down with. But, I don't think I want that right now. After experiencing life outside of NY......I grew to love the landscapes of both CA and AZ. And, it's addicting........I just want to see more. I don't think I'm ready to move back home but it's definitely where I belong. But do I belong there anymore? This nomadic nature that I have can be really annoying. I get so wrestless staying in one place. Also........I want to be in love......but I can't find that love out West. They just don't have that New York State of mind or that sarcastic East Coast attitude that I love so much.
I'm whining and complaining........it's the desert. I don't belong here. I really don't.

Thanks for the tips. I've taken many road trips in AZ and yes this state is beautiful. But I still think the nightlife sucks. You want a good nightlife.......go to New York even Vegas or San Francisco. But, bars here close at 2. And, unless you are a college student.....the nightlife will suck. I don't think I'm going to stick around here for that long. But again........thanks for the tips.
