First day in the VA
So, my first day here in the VA is over. I must say that having been here less than 48 hours I have found myself on several occasions saying to myself, what the fuck are you doing? How in the world could you just pack up and leave everything that you've ever known? Believe me it was a pretty hard thing to do. I'm sleeping on a pullout couch in the living room of my sister's apartment. This just might be the craziest thing that I have ever done, and you know what I think that I needed to do it. I'm 25 years old, and I haven't done a thing. I'm pretty sure long before this Alexander had conquered much of the world as we knew it back then and was either dead or on the way to his grave. This move for me was about self discovery. I need to find out exactly who I am and if I have the chops to make it anywhere besides Oklahoma, or if all I'm destiny to be is a Hometown Hero. And with one day down and an endless amount of opportunity in front of me I don't think that things are gonna be half bad. But who knows I could be back in Oklahoma in no time with my tail tucked between my legs. I sure as hell hope not though. I'm just trying to matter in this world, and hopefully this is only the beginning.

Me, too Brandon. Me, too. Good luck. And I seriously doubt that if you do come back it'll be with your tail between your legs. Most people can't even say they tried. I think you'll appreciate this: "To live.....to live would be an awfully big adventure."
