You won't make friends anywhere being such a pessimist. Just moving won't stop problems that occur within yourself. Namely, causelessly hating everything. Try a little empathy sometime. Who cares if it isn't true, it'll make you feel better to simply assume there's a good reason for someone to, say, cut you off in traffic. Maybe their father is in the seat next to them and having a heart attack. There's a place for pessimism and cynicism (probably at least, I don't really know where), but empathy and positivity and hope are useful in any situation. Your once subtle Art of Manliness references are nearly quotations now :P Ballerplaya, good read: http://artofmanliness.com/2010/07/25/our-disembodied-selves-and-the-decline-of-empathy/
