New York Day1

Waking up today, we all piled downstairs to get our bikes, and little did we know, our locked had been cut and thrown away, and our bikes stuffed in the basement by Nate's super... Calling him, he informs me that we have to pay 10 dollars per bike to get them back. I did not mace him in the face and kick him in the ribs until he died for the simple reason my friend nate would get kicked out, and i would go to jail. Welcome to New York right?! Ryan from pensacola met up with us and we took a ride over to Boneshakers in Brooklyn which is a vegan coffee shop with food and snacks and has a very strong bicycle theme. We then rolled to play pick-up where we met some of the french players and the kid who is in the nike commercial. It was super fun until we moved courts and some fucking hood rats threw a glass bottle on the court. We finished up and I rode to Red Bamboo in the lower east side where i met my best friend johnny who took the train over from long island. We went over to Lula's Vegan Ice cream shop that BLEW MY MIND! I have cake batter and chocolate twist vegan SOFT SERVE! WOOOOOOO. Life was good. Then i stuff my face at Red Bamboo, which by the way is my favorite restaurant in the world. My dinner consist of an appetizer of bourbon chicken and a main course of a steak sandwich with tempeh bacon and vegan cheddar cheese.( all food vegan delishousness!!! ) Then, we headed to nates and took a bike ride through prospect park and crashed out. Overall, today had it's up and down, but a great day in the city none the less. I'm really looking forward to the Worlds and kicking some ass!

a new Start

So, i am going to try this one more time. This time it think it will be much more successful seeing as my life will consist of traveling and documenting events i attend, people I encounter, places i see, and everything in between. I'll bring you up to speed. Since i got back from Hawaii i have worked really hard to try and live up to my own standards while trying to coexist with societies standards. This has not been successful as i have not found happiness in this. I am extremely proud of what i have accomplished with Leave Your Mark but i feel i have a greater destiny to fulfill right now. So, with that said, i have set out as of August 31st, on a journey in which i have no goals, no reservations, and nothing but intention. I hope to meet people that are interesting and rich with character along with see places some people on dream or "wish" of seeing. I am sure by the time i have seen what this world has to offer, i may have a better understanding of mankind and find the beauty within and not what it has created.

The trip up was pretty funny but turned out to be a little more miserable with every mile under the belt. We made it in once piece and sanity hanging by threads but with good spirits of the weekend to come. Pick-up Polo and hanging out in New York City and then the bike polo world championships in Philadelphia and then me and Kelli take off for europe for 2 months!

Pensacola Beach Cat 2

Started the weekend with a drive to orland ot meet up with Shipwreck and bad luck at Ethos Vegan Kitchen. WE waited around for Shipwreck to get there. All the while the employees keep asking us if we want to order and we hear whispering. Shipwreck shows up like 20 minutes later adn goes right to orderign his vegan philly cheese, the item i was going to order by the way, and the crew goes crazy and shouts your the 10,000 order of the vegan philly, it's ont he house! So i missed out by one person, and thus forth dubbed 10K1. Number 2 if you will. So, we have a hilarious meal and head out towards pensacola and stopped by gainesville to pick ym friend jason up too. We make it to pensacola beach despite the hurricane rain going down at 6:30 in the morning. Me nad kelli slept onthe garage floor. It was wet and cold but we keep each other warm<3 IN the morning we had breakfast with the Kids from athens and our friends from ft. lauderdale. Then we headed out to find the bike polo tourney. Unfortunately it was raining and there was a clusterfuck of orginization for where the courts would be. BUt we eventually found them all the way at the end of hte island in a shitty parking lot. The courts were bumpy and was very difficult to play on and the barriers were metal gurad rails with plastic stops at the bottom. Shit. But there was poeple from al over the country there for polo. It kicked major ass playing teams from all over and we had some really exciting matches. We eventually got knocked out of the tourney on sunday. The alley cat was just as organized as the polo courts. ShIT. haha. There was a non-existant check point and i lost because i was searching for nothing. Me and one other kid was destroying the pack and they all caught up once we wasted all that time trying to find the damn water tower that got torn down. Despite my hold up and getting left behind during the alley cat, I then still placed 6th because i pulled a bunch of kids on the final stretch. Prizes looked rad but we had to get outtah there so we dipped after the alley cat and headed to mike C's house in orlando to spend the night and then headed home in the morning. Pretty excitign weekend despite the disorganization of the weekend. Check my photobucket for pictures.

Care free

I am the happiest person that i have ever been in my life. Nothing could ruin or spoil this mindset i am in. I've been challenged, handed bad news, and been placed in very difficult situations. I just can't help but not care in the end because i am so happy. I am so fulfilled after the past day, i felt as if i were in high school again. Today is my birthday. I am 22. I have the best friend a guy could ask for and i lead a path many envy. This year has many open doors, i am very interested in stepping through them to see where they lead. I know i have you back and no matter what happens i know that we will always be there for each other.

I played bike polo tonight and had so much fun! Me and kate celebrated our impending birthdays and following polo i rode home and dumpstered a WHOLE pizza and a full bag of my favorite donuts! It really is going to be a good year! I'm going to eat that shit now <3.

South florida is beautiful right now but it just doesn't compare the shores of hawaii, or the miles of unknown before me when i leave for a trip. The shop is going great and i'm working on being as frugal as possible to save and consolidate to take off for a long time. I'm dying to be elsewhere. With or with you or you or you.I can't stop letting myself fall and trip others. I need to be true to myself and move forward and accomplish my own dreams before i put anyone else before me. Life is only as complicated as you make it. And i am tryig to make it as simple as possible.

Bike polo donw here has been amazing and i've been having so much fucking fun playing. Kelli is coming back to south florida, i'm really excited to see her. Also, some of my friends from hawaii are talkinga bout moving out here to hang out for a while and then go travel.

Pictures of Hawaii coming soon!
