Skimboarding- Time to Learn

I started managing my friend Blake's skim boarding career. I'm pretty excited about it.

Check out his Facebook page.

Apparently something today is going to change my life...

According to my horoscope. Something is going to happen today that is going to drastically change my life for the better. Could it be the P90X I did this morning? Probably not.

Well, I guess I'll keep my eyes and ears open for something that seems like a mere coincidence.

Maybe today is the day I miraculously find this guy outside my front door because his car broke down and he needs to use my phone, and then we fall passionately in love.

I'll keep you in the loop :)

My first week in Los Angeles!

Well,  we made it! So the drive to LA was crazy. McCrary and I stopped the first night in Biloxi, MS to meet Jake and Becca's parents at a casino, where I won $2, McCrary won $20 and Ricky won $100, go figure! Then we left for Austin, TX to take part of the SXSW festivities. We stayed with an old friend, Chloe. Texas blows, but Austin is not so bad. I got to see Have Gun, Will Travel play on my birthday which was a great treat. After Texas we tried to drive straight to LA but ended up spending the night in a parking lot in Phoenix, AZ.  Eventually we got to LA!!

This picture is a night view from the Hollywood Hills. At the bottom of the hill is Hollywood and Downtown LA is in the background. The tall buildings in the background to the left is where I live!

2 weeks!!!

Today is exactly 2 weeks until I leave for LA. I am so pumped. I accomplished a lot of packing this week. I sent a few boxes of clothes and shoes to KT so I can have more room in my car for breakables. The closer i gets to my leaving date, the more I find other friends of mine are also moving to LA. My friend Janell moved there this week, and my friend Jodie is also moving there soon. Its gonna be like my own little piece of Bradenton in Los Angeles. 

I've been talking  a lot of my friends in LA and can't wait to be back in the same town where we can reconnect. I also can't wait to start my new job. as well as getting more focused on managing The Prospect.

This is a photo of my new living room in Los Angeles. I love it!

Things I need to accomplish before I go:

Get ahead on my classes at Berklee so I'm not far behind when I leave

Cancel my internet

Change my addresses over

Visit with friends and family as much as I can

Work as much as possible to make extra cash for the roadtrip
