Rather then guessing where I went, I might as well say goodbye now...

Oh man I'm sorry... if we weren't several states away you'd definitely be welcome to crash at my place. I really wish you the best and hope you find your way....

Keep striving
 
Hope it continues on an upward track

Damn man, sorry to hear about your ordeals. Hang in there and fight to make it better...
 
Hope you will be able to land a job soon.

  I guess I'm glad this isn't in live action or else eeveryone would see how much I've been crying since I found this on my door (I'm a pussy I know)

To quote a mutual hero of ours: "It's alright to cry" :)
 
Hang in there brother....my thoughts and prayers are with you.

Glad you got a plan.  Everything will work itself out eventually.  Hang in there.

Hang in there brother. 
 

Josh,

I am sorry to hear about your bad luck and I am glad to see that you are working things out. All I have to offer is positive vibes and a few cliches: I think it was Nietche that said, "from chaos comes order.". Your life may be turned upside down now, but things will work out...and become better. The other cliche is "if it doesn't kill you (and it won't) it will make you stronger." Good Luck!

Thanks again guys. I've been trying not to dwell as much on it. Both my parents have been there for me over the last couple days being there for me, which is strange since they haven't talked since the divorce. That means a lot to me as well.
 
I should make an update on my status of life right now. As I mentioned, I'm moving in with my bassist of my band.

There is a lot of cons about going:

Leaving my friends, family, pets behind (45 minutes away anyways)
Leaving my home of the last 23 and a half years
Even though I've been alone here at my house for the last 2 years, I'm really out on my own now

But there is a lot of pros too:

Xfinity cable with all the channels I'd ever need
Higher, faster internet
Full studio with my drums in it just a flight of stairs away
A bigger bedroom
Only 25 minutes to St. Paul instead of an hour and 15 minute drive there and back (3 hours round trip)
Opportunity for a better life

From tomorrow till February 2nd, I'll be packing and traveling back and forth from Clear Lake, Wisconsin (yes stalkers, that's where I live till the 2nd) to River Falls, Wisconsin which is like New York City compared to Clear Lake. I know it will be for the best eventually. but I'm still scared shitless. February 2nd will be the hardest day of my life, knowing I can't ever go back home. But if it means I can make a successful life for myself, it will be worth it.

Only now seeing this thread, but I wish you all the best. Turns out something good already happened to you, which is great to hear. Let's hope it continues that way.

Update number 3 on my life situation.

I have almost all my drums over at my new place (sans a few snares). and have my car filled for the first trip there to drop off my stuff.

I just have my bed, tv, 360, computer setup, and a few speakers. Along with the bathroom stuff, and I'll be all out of here. Every night since I found the notice on my door I've been so damn nervous.

The last night I can be here is Wednesday (Yes, I'll still be here for the radio show Tuesday night) but right after that, I'll be tearing down my computer system and packing it in my car. Wednesday afternoon is my last time living in Clear Lake, Wisconsin.

There hasn't been a person yet in my life that has said I'm making the wrong choice. everyone is being so supportive of me thought the hardest time in my life so far. I couldn't be more grateful. That includes you guys as well. Thank you all so very much.

Seems I'm late discovering this thread, but I just wanted to wish you well. I definitely think that you're making the right choice, and that you'll be ending up making this shitty situation into a life changing event.
 
Go forth and be awesome!

You are definitively doing the right thing. I had a similar situation myself, well it was similar in some ways, and found that moving was the right choice. Don't wanna steal your thread but I had lived in the same house since I was 6 til I was 22, until my mom passed away a year ago from cancer. My parents had got a divorce when I was 15, my father is a recovering alcoholic which was pretty much the reason they got divorced, minus the 'recovering' back then. Anyways, me and my brother lived in the house we had for a couple of months, without my mom or dad, but found that the right choice was to sell and move on. We had a lot of memories from that house but there is also baggage that you will be happy to lose, at least that was the case with me! Hope you are doing okay with all of this, and good luck.

JRundquist,

Good luck to you man.  I was in a slightly similar situation once before.  I'm glad that stuff has turned around.  Its pretty scary when your life gets thrown up into the air like that.  Your new home sounds like it will be awesome, and the location sounds like it'll be prime for some good work.

You're a great guy (in the most heterosexual way possible). I'm positive everything will turn out right for you. Just believe in yourself and it WILL HAPPEN. Life has a way of taking care for you if you let it .

Hey guys, Thanks again for the encouraging and inspirational words. This may be my final report before the move.
 
This is my last night here. I have almost all of my stuff in River Falls now. I just have my TV, Main computer, Computer desk, a normal desk, all my autographs, posters and signatures,  and a few other things that I gotta take. I didn't think I'd be able to put all of my life's possessions from the day I was born till 23 on 3 carloads, but I got almost all of it.
 
I had to leave behind my bed for a smaller, but longer, bed my dad used to have It was bought right around the time my parents got divorced so it had very little use.
 
The sad part is that I am leaving a lot behind simply because I have nowhere to put somethings. I can't bring it with me, and almost all of moving I have done on my own, so I don't have a choice. But I got and will get all the important stuff.
 
The next time I comment on this, will be their right before I shut off the electricity here, or when I'm in my new home.
 
@Max Grindahl- you are absolutely right. As much great stuff as there is here. there is so much shit that I can't wait to leave behind. Anyone who has been divorced, or are children of divorce can definitely understand. I'm going to miss being around my family, but it will be worth it in the end.
 
Thanks again guys for everything! It means so much to see all your guys' support.

Hey, really pleased you've found a solution.
 
Don't be scared, you're going to love it. I promise.

you may grow to really like River Falls. I actually spent 1 year (my only year full-time anyway) of College there. I did radio at WRFW even for a semester.
 
I suppose doing an Epic Rock Talk near my old campus might be something to think about as well. I suppose that also may depend on things with The Root of All Evil. Although your idea of just doing a show 1 Saturday night and seeing Tim there might spark more interest from him for you to be back on their show. We'll see. in the short term, best of luck saying goodbye.

Just now seeing this thread. Tough situation and am glad that things are picking up for you. All the best and good vibes going your way.

The ups and downs of life man... it's nice to know that you get a solution for this hard experience... there's cons and pros... and with time, you'll see that the pros are more than the cons... 
 
Positive vibrations to you man... and never stop enjoying life... no matter what!

A house is just a house. Your home stays with you wherever you go.

...And I'm back!

Good to hear! Keep us updated on how things are going with the new situation, looking forward to hearing about things getting brighter and better!

Nice!  Glad to see you're back on the grid brother!

Today was my last day of getting stuff out and and my last trip from Clear Lake to River falls just for moving. I'm happy it's done.
 
I got my computer setup tonight as shown by me reporting. I just gotta setup my TV and I should be good to go. I got lots of Bags, and boxes to unpack. but once I do I'll have a lot more room.
 
Faster internet is already an improvement. Once I hook up the TV...giggity.
 
It will be my first night sleeping here. I'll be up late.

Hey dude I sent you a message on Facebook.

You did? Nothings popped up yet.

I missed this thread the first time around as I was on vacation in Israel with minimal internet access, but I'm glad your situation worked out... Wish you all the best going forward.

Ha...I'm just reading all of this now. Glad it all worked out, Josh! It wouldn't have been the same here without you. God bless! (Sounds like He already has!)

Moving forces you to decide which possessions are important and which ones you can do without. It can be stressful, but I think change can be healthy too. Glad to hear you're settling into your new place.

Hey man, just seeing this now. Glad to hear things are working out, and I hope things stay positive from here. You have great posts on here man!
 
William

I'm so sorry to hear of your situation, as it would be an earth shattering/life changer for anyone, but reading through the posts of everyone and seeing you already have options/solutions, I'm happy to also hear you have possible solutions to help not only save your self from this mess, but something to help your life move forward to where you want to be.
 
You not only made do with what you had, but sounds like you are making the most of it by making it even better than where you were before this whole mess started.
 
I wish nothing but the best of luck to you, a safe and smooth move, and hope that your new home is as wonderful (or more) than the last.
 
We'll keep hearing from you, that's for sure. *Hugs*

Ziltoid: This is where we live now? FETID! How dare you present this to me!

JR- best of luck man, I am glad something worked out as far as a place to live. One day at a time.
I would second or third the "not blaming yourself" department. I have relatives in their 50s who are still completely dependent on their parents, and still spend a good amount of time complaining about them. You have a bright future my friend. The lessons you are learning now will serve you the rest of your life.
Good luck! I always enjoyed your posts too, because you are obviously a dedicated rock fan.
