so as events unfold in this undulating story of life that we all appeal to, changes are innevitable. soon, i will be leaving alabama behind for good and with it many things i have grown accustomed to. 80 degree weather nearly every day is nice, going to work and getting trashed with all my friends, also enjoyable. the fact that wherever i go, people once again know who i am and who my friends are and i'm 600 miles away from my high school is amazing. the girl that i'm living with who does pretty much what i want when i want has made things rather smooth in the past 5 or 6 months. however, these all must be left in the past.... time to move on to greener pastures and wider fields.
so the announcement continues that chucky, his lil bro tim, myself, along with the 30 yr old alcoholic paul are all heading out to Yellowstone National Park. this will be my first visit, hopefully an enjoyable one. the thought of not being around people i know at all is slightly hindering, yet the need and desire for change overcomes all. with this shift, there will be new people, new friends, new women, new habits, new daily routine. things should be pretty interesting. it's sad thinking that the guys i've lived with almost all year are going with but will be living an hour or more away. i guess we all have to move on.
i don't know how much i'll be able to use a computer or a telephone for that matter while i'm there, but i'm sure it'll all work out. if i remember correctly, chuck talked to me several times over the internet when he was there two years ago, so it's possible that i'll have internet access. i've been accepted as a wrangler with the park and will be riding horses and giving tours all day every day so there most likely will be no dull moments. if available, i'll try to keep some contact.
after yellowstone, who knows what may happen... there are a couple people that i talk to in California, not to mention the fact that i've always wanted to live in Cali. it's possible that i'll take my bike out to Cali after Yellowstone, but i also may ride to Texas or Arizona. wherever it's warm and i can ride each day with no worries. i assume only time will tell, and so i must take leave of this box. until next time, when that may be there is no assurance.
