Allllright.. So its April 2013 Here’s a couple rad things since I last wrote: 
Finally went to Coachella… best experience of my life. So much fun, alcohol, parties, new friends, loud music, just a huge party in the (hot-windy) desert. 
Turned 23. Yay……
L 0 V E interests..
Been home for a little bit again.. STILL job searching.
Going to Sasquatch Music Fest in a month..  (seattle)
Thinking of a new little tattoo - Palm Trees & a Sun … 
Ongoing weird health stuff, but I’m not worried.
Getting back into Music & doing covers
Really trying to figure out where life is taking me.. or vis versa. 
I cannot wait for Summer <3

That is the key to everything to try your best.
Its been like&#8230; 3-4 months since I&#8217;ve written anything on here. Thought to update it 
15 things that are going on in my life:
Mystery headaches - has been more than 1 year now since the madness began.
Quit my job the other day.. also now been 1 year of work anniversary.. I just wanted to spend holidays with the most important thing, family.
Got a new tattoo the day I quit&#8230; just a small half moon on my wrist.
Bro got a new GF&#8230; 
My roomie is going thru a sort of / Much needed breakup.. 
Looking for a new job is tougher than I thought.
Fear of being 23 soon.
Listening to a lot of country music lately, really don&#8217;t know why
Wanting to just be home now..
Also wishing for summer.. but still excited to spend winter in a house in the forrest. YES.
Spending New Years week in Canon Beach - Oregon.. happier than a corgi on stilts.
Figuring out what to do for Christmas Eve plans..
Bought a new Canon DSLR.
Had the most random thought as to become a temp. nanny today&#8230; bad bad idea.
MEOW.

Ive been meaning to write.. 
Kind of at a cross road with what I want to do with my life at the moment.. 
Sometimes I think about it all and it seems overwhelming.. madness. I start by thinking of where I want to end up and have no idea.. I just know that I need the following things involved.
Creativity - art/designing/writing/photography/filming
Sports related brands - Fashion/Extreme sports/Surf Brands 
Giving back - helping the planet / world out - wether it be through other companies or stating my own saving our oceans / keeping beaches clean / giving kids water in other countries .. etc
Being involved in Events - attending/planning/marketing
Travel - new cultures/experiences/seeing the world
So.. someone look at that and tell me&#8230; WHAT CAN I DO.
..sooo tough.
