The times they are a changin

I have had a wonderful time livin in CA for the last 7 years and it has benefited me much. It has also cost a lot. But all in all I know that I am walkin away from this state a better person than I was when I came to it. And for that CA I thank you. On Friday I begin my own odyssey back to WV. I imagine it will be a lot easier than the mythic adventure, although I do have to ride back from Columbus so maybe there will be some adventure there, but I doubt it.

In all this bittersweet homecoming is a step in the right direction and hopefully a year from today I will post my acceptance into Med School. Until then I will be commenting on the skate scene in WV, the Mountaineers, DC nightlife, and random trips to NY. Hopefully all accompanied by video and photo documentation.

Lastly I just want to say thanks to all the people who have made my experience out here so wonderful. Everyone I skated with, minus a couple you know who you are and we'll run into each other one day, everyone I had a nice drink and conversation with, and just everyone I've met. An especially huge thanks and I love you to my girlfriend, who brought me out of a really shitty period of my life and supported me to no end. I will be leaving her here but not behind me. I'll be counting the days until we are living together again.

Peace
