almost out the appartment......

about time.
going to be a whirlwind 3 weeks comming up. not much climbing, lots of working, and tons of driving. i shall return once the internet connection has returned to my computer. until then,

peace.

have roof.
will climb.


im feeling well enough now that i can go out and do things like climb. ive been working on this roof for a while, and im almost there....just gotta stick the last move. itll be nice if i can finish this roof before i leave.

in other news, im doing a lot of packing. well, it doesnt feel like ive been doing much, but i have. more to come packing wise tomorrow and sat. and probably sun too.

im feeling better. and thats a good thing. because i have so much to do. its insane.

this is something i stole from eli. thanks eli.

and one last note: the medication i am taking for lyme disease can also be used to treat anthrax. (!!!)

and now im taking a 3 week course of doxycycline to get rid of lyme disease. life can be rough sometimes. this summer has been pretty rough for me. despite the amazing times ive had deep water soloing, and getting a job in new york, a lot of things just havent been going my way...or at least thats how it seems. i am a firm believer that everything happens for a reason. i went to the govenor stable comp this year and talked to rocco and now i have a full fledged job. after taking my huge sport lead fall, i have found deep water soloing. i have no idea what i am going to find due to lyme disease, but thats what life is all about. you take the good with the bad. everything works out. everything goes full cycle. and while this summer has been shitty, i feel as if i am at the beginning of a new cycle. lets see what life has in store for me.

ive been feeling really crappy recently. really crappy. and then two nights ago, i noticed a rash on my leg. then i remebered that i pulled a tick out of that same spot about a week ago. so i did some research on lyme disease. now i didnt want to make myself paranoid, but i had some of the symptoms. so i called a friend who is a doctor, and he pretty much told me i need to get treated as soon as possible. fucking hell. ive contracted lyme disease.

apparently it is somewhat treatable, so im going to probably be fine. ill just feel kinda shitty for a while. so i hope everything works out.

addicted. life altering. mind freeing. best new hobby.

mmmmmmmmmm......

deep water soloing.......

deep water soloing is the best form of climbing. period.

i have now gone twice to summersville lake, wv to go deep water soloing and i cant even to begin to explain how good it is. its fun. its warm. its tranquil. its amazing. its the most fun ive had on rock in a long time.

and im moving to new york. away from the lake. away from the crags i know. there better be deep water soloing somewhere close to there.

pictures to come...

got a pretty big life changing interview this weekend. wish me luck!
