I am rated about 1400 but play against higher rated players often, about 1450-1550 rated. As white I play the vienna, but im so sick of facing caro-kanns, sicillians, and other openings that can be player against e4. I don't think that I'm ready to play the catalan, but i want to try some d4 opening, like the trompowsky or others. Any reccomdations?

You could try the Queen's Gambit and learn a few lines. This is my main opening as White but I have been trying to learn 1.e4 lately. Caro is a joke if you watch Gotham Chess' video on the Tal Variation and copy his pgn. I would suggest you look at 4.c4!? against the 3...c5 variation. For the Sicilian, Rossolimo has been recommended in Keep It Simple so it can't be a variation to learn. Maybe you should go for a Fried Liver Attack as is it a very dynamic opening as long as you know a few ideas.
At the end of the day, it is what you enjoy playing and I would recommend you try a lot of openings and find what you like. Make sure it's not a London though
there is nothing wrong with playing the london, so long as you dont ONLY play the london

Dosent the english have a lot of theory, and is a very slow and often boring opening, or is that all not true?
The former is true of everything; you are not going to be able to find a good opening without a lot of theory. There's tons of theory on the London, the Torre, the Tromp, 1. b3, the various 1. Nf3 systems, etc.
As indicated above, I do kinda think that vs non-1. e4 or 1. d4 openings, the average club player might be less likely to know much, but admittedly that's an anecdotal claim. If that's true, it's an appeal of the English.
"Very slow and often boring opening" is a subjective statement. I guess it depends on what you find to be boring in chess personally. But it can lead to rich positions like almost anything else
Isn't the English one of the easier openings? I do not play 1.e4 because there's too much theory, and a 300 elo player normally can't learn the sicilian.

I just play 1. resign because chess has too much theory.

White plays Handgun to opponent's face, winning by death
