My Autobiography

Surf Riding

Surfing is awesome. I started about two months ago and have been going about three days a week give or take a day. Really, the only reason I'm typing this right now is because the water was a little too cold for no wet suit today. There is something really invigorating about getting up at 6 in the morning and heading to the ocean to battle mother nature. Sometimes she's a bitch, sometimes she's moody, and sometimes she just crushes you. But no matter what, every day you go out there is a window for you to catch something. When you do, it is one of the sweetest feelings period. Plus then you get out of the water and walk around looking like a badass with a surfboard. So get off your ass and go find your window.

La Tierra

Nature is a great thing. It really helps you to recheck your life and realize that you are just a tiny speck of a much greater existence than yourself. I am currently spending the weekend in Big Sur, CA which is about 6 hours north of LA. Even though I am not completely away from civilization, I am online right now. It still feels good to take a step back and breath for a while. Thats all. From time to time everyone needs to remove themselves from their situation, no matter what it is. It can be good, bad, sad, terrifying, whetever. Take a break, go outside and enjoy the wonders of the world around you.

The First Of May

The first of May is upon us. There are a lot of things going on in my life in this month of may. Today my brother was inaugurated as president of the student's association at the University of Arizona. In less than two weeks, I will be graduating from the University of Arizona. Two weeks after that I will be packing up my life and moving away from Tucson for good and moving to Los Angeles. I've known that all of this was coming for quite a long time, but certain realities are just beginning to set in.

1. I am done with my formal education.
2. All of my goals for the "future" must be set in motion now.
3. There are no arbitrary breaks or set times for levels of achievement anymore. It is now my responsibility to set these times.
4. I am leaving the city that I have lived in my entire life.
5. I am solely responsible for my life.
6. I will never see many of the friends that I take for granted in college.
7. I can no longer say "it's cool, I'm in college" and get away with it.
8. I have plans for the future, but not plans for now.
9. I must continue my education on my own.
10. I will miss these times.

Not to be a total serious downer, I am very excited and ready to get out of Tucson. I have friends in Los Angeles and will be living with friends. I'm ready to try and apply some of my knowledge instead of writing papers about bulsh. And most of all I'm ready to prove to myself that I can accomplish the many goals that have been marinating in my brain these last four years.
