Indeed, I can imagine a city of LA's size would have a hell of a lot going on, and the culture must be pretty mad...

Yes....it's hard to explain, but it's one of the reasons why I'm considering a move back to my hometown of Portland (as mentioned in the FotM interview...)
, but yeah, I can appreciate that; didn't you move to LA for the new job? Or have I got lost somewhere? Originally posted by WojBhoy:[..]
Aha, always the one to bring up his moment of fame in U2start-dom
Originally posted by haytrain:Haha, yes, just a friendly reminder as to who the FotM is....
Well, I moved down here to pursue a career in the film industry, and I've gotten a lot of good experiences, but I'm thinking that I want a little bit more stability, and I'm getting older, thinking about starting a family, etc.....plus the whole Hollywood scene isn't my thing at all. (I sound like a bitter person who is just upset with the fact that he didn't "make it", don't I?)
). Nah, not bitter at all, just someone who's given something a go, and found that it's not really meant for him. That's how I read it Originally posted by WojBhoy:[..]
All hail Jeremy, FotM extraordinaire! (although, which is a better title - Fan of the Month or King of the MultiQuote?

I'm thinking that I'd really love to teach at a university someday, teaching writing and film classes. Sadly, I once had the attitude of "If you know so much about the film business and writing, how come you're not out there doing it and are stuck in the classroom teaching" towards my teachers. Now it will come back to haunt me....
. Sounds like a good plan to me though. At this stage in life, I sure wouldn't want to be a teacher but that's me, I'm not really sure what I really want to do as a career. Hence why I'm going to Uni. Do you have to choose a focus or a major at a certain point? Can you just do general studies for a while?
