This is a crazy dream (what am i doing?)

So let me say this: This is my blog/drunk ramblings/meltdown/outlet to the real world. For the last two months I've been living a nomadic lifestyle. I put all my shit in storage and I decided to see what it was like living with "no possesions." So far it's been very liberating living a minimalist life and surviving on rashins. I love what I do. I love connecting with people and sharing a moment with absolute strangers. Tonight I turned down a very nice job making a good amount of money and for what? To drive arund the US? To drink an obscene amount of alcohol and perform in places not even listed on a school map? This is the path I've chosen. I can't even explain why I've chosen this life but I have. I'm going to California in three days and I'm half excited and half terrified. I'm leaving my comfort zone. I'm saying goodbye to friends and family to chase a dream I've had since the 1st grade. Is this the right decision? Only time will tell.. Thanks to my friends for lettng me crash with them and thanks to the great state of Texas for being my home the last 31 years. Let's see where this crazy dream takes us.....

    First, I am so very proud of you. Part of me can't believe I met you over a decade ago...but here we are. You have come so far in this and if you didn't pull the nomad thing and follow your heart to Cali (or where ever it may lead) then you would end up old, in Dallas, and always wondering what the hell would have happened. As someone who did something similar (though so very different) recently, I can tell you it is not easy but the payoff is immense. I cannot WAIT to read of your adventures. Love you. You are already one of those guys that I get to claim to know, which is awesome in and of itself. Wishing you all the best in the world, J-Fo 9-Duece. :)

    I'll tell you the same thing I told Mark...you are following your dreams and not everyone gives themselves the opportunity to do so. one day when your 90 you won't look back on your life and say "what if"...life should be more than making a paycheck and trying to get by...you have to take risks to get what you want..and I'm so proud of you for trying...you will make it!! :) <3
