Let this first post be a notice and a thank you. I am heading out I-10 west to sunny California at the end of August. I am going not only because of the adventure but because if you want something you have to go get it. I will miss my friends more than words can express and my love of Houston and College Station will only get stronger as i find myself in the land of fruit and nuts. It is a much larger world these days with the web and social networking sites, so i hope to not lose contact with anyone for any reason.
There are some things in life that you just have to do and this is one of those things. I understand that my risk for failure in this endeavor is high. I go with clear focus and goals. Should i not be able to achieve my directives than i will come crawling back to Houston and will allow everyone at least one shot to my nuts for being an idiot. I don't feel like or plan on that being the outcome obviously, but it IS the boulevard of broken dreams.
I want to thank all of my friends that are reading this now, your comradeship and insight has made me better as a person. I wake up everyday thankful for the friends i have and the choices i have made in keeping them in my life. In leaving Houston i leave my family and my sports teams. Anyone who knows me is aware that the two are synonymous which each other. I cannot stay away forever and my dearest hope is to return home with a rounder perception, education and career direction.
My father is coming with me on my trip out west. We will have a couple pit stops in Vegas and the Grand Canyon before finally landing in Southern California. I will keep the blog updated with photos, videos and stories from my travels. I might have a little going away party before i leave, or i might disappear in to the sunset quietly. I have not decided. I will let everyone know.
I love you
Patrick
