Longboard Across America
So a couple friends of mine are leaving on monday to longboard from San Diego to somewhere in Georgia.
I guess they're skating like 20 miles each a day, or something like that. i'm not really sure how far exactly.
They'll be gone for 2.5 months and spending time at Boys and Girls clubs across america.
They just asked me to join them today.
I REALLY REALLY want to go. I know I could easily do 20 miles a day, I've done 20 miles and it's not bad. On a longboard that really only takes a couple of hours. And I probably wouldn't be going the whole 20 every day I think I'd be mostly chillin in the van with them and filming and helping at the B&G clubs. This is really the experience of a lifetime... BUT.
1. I have a job, I'd most likely have to quit, and I really like this job.
2. I have a 250 dollar traffic ticket I have to pay back by april 20th.
3. I only have 185 bucks in my bank account. Well, I get paid in two weeks too, but I haven't had time to save up.
4. I don't have health insurance.
5. Who'se gonna take care of the youth center stuff while I'm gone? It's 2 and a half months, dude!
So there's obviously a lot of things holding me back. I mean, I'd be leaving... on monday. Like, THIS monday.
So I dunno. We'll see. right now I'm probably not gonna go unless my boss is like "that's fine, we'll just put you back oin the schedule when you get back" and my mom's like "i'll pay for your health insurance while you're gone and send you money for food, don't trip." I mean that's not totally unreasonable, I can just cancle my car insurance and my phone bill and that probably about evens out, ya?
I dunno, we'll see. How cool would that be, though?
