Hawaii Bound

Dreampoint by Chongolio

Well the word is out, some of my close friends, family along with a few of the folks who made it to the Forbidden Island Sale-a-bration are already in the know. I am making the move to Hawaii in March 07. That is when my current lease in Scotts Valley will be up and the time to make the jump. I have been waiting and waiting for everything in my life to be in cosmic synchronicity but have come to the conclusion that may never happen. So since I don't have a girlfriend, wife, kids, pets, house or car payment I decided now is the time to fulfill my life long dream of living in and exploring the South Pacific. What I do have is a small debt that I hope to get under control over the next 6 months. I have for the most part shut down my graphic design studio and have taken a job working with a company called Blue Monitor as a Project Manager. I will continue to do graphic design work on the side but will be very particular about the side jobs I take on. Basically only the ones that pay. I will also keep on the artistic tip and keep crankin' out art to sell to help get me on my way

I am not sure how everything will work out as far as housing and a job, I am not even sure of which Island I will end up on. I do have preferred locations in mind, Kauai, The Big Island or Maui in that order, and would like to work in some kind capacity as artist/ graphic designer, but understand that I may have to work my way into it and that it may take some time. My plan is simple, throw out the net and see what I can pull in before I get out there. I would like to make the hop and have some kind of job lined up and dialed in with at least a couch to crash on when I hit the ground. In the mean time I will be selling off everything that has no meaning or sentimental value. I am still deciding on shipping my van out there. At this point it looks like the best idea because I can easily live out of it if I have too.
