How I completely changed my life in two days for an unpaid internship(my girlfriend made this title)

HA! I bet you thought I would never make another blog post again. Well, haters you were wrong! My throngs of fans will be overjoyed to see that I have made my THIRD blog post in over a year. I know, I know, I'm pumping out so much content it's difficult to keep up with. Just try and take it alllll in


Anyway, I'm moving back to Asheville, and I'm almost this happy !

Seriously though, I'm pretty psyched. I mean, it was a pretty difficult decision for me leaving a job I hated to go to a place I love... well, I guess it wasn't that hard. We made a pros cons list of what I'd be giving up by moving to Asheville. Here's a little summary

Moving To Asheville

Cons

1. Lose middle class income 
2. Lose insurance
3. Be the disappointment of my father

Pros

1. Quality of Life

Honestly, when it came down to it, it was a pretty simple decision. I don't have any kids to support(that I know of), I have an amazing girlfriend that wants to move with me, and it's about to be climbing season. 

If anybody cares to know, the impetus for the move is that my girlfriend got a job unpaid internship at Shay Brown Events and it seemed like a good enough reason to make the move. I'll be working at the climbing gym again doing route setting, coaching the team, and other fun things like vaccuming and cleaning up after parties. YES. Honestly, I'm really happy and grateful that I'll be able to work at the gym again and be a part of the great climbing community in Asheville. Big thanks to Stuart for helping me out in my time of need. 

So, in conclusion, I'm psyched. Because after all..

(only once you live)

P.S. if anyone's getting rid of furniture let me know =).

JEW GOLD

Two Days Before the Day After Tomorrow

PARKmore...

So, I've been really psyched on trying to send what I've affectionately dubbed the Jew Gold project. The project is on the gold mine boulder, and it is SICK. When I first tried it, I thought it would maybe be a V7 tops. I hoped to send quick and then try the real jew gold project, which adds several really hard(too hard for me) moves into the section I'm working on.

Well, I've now spent two full days on jew gold, and I don't feel like I'm getting any closer! It's frustrating because I 'm consistently hitting a jug hold, but I can't reel it in. I guess that's the nature of bouldering. Get frustrated, work harder, get stronger, and then send.

I'd really like for some other people to get on it and send. At first I was hoping to snag the FA, part because it's the first significant problem I've been able to add to an area and part because I really want to name it jew gold. Now I don't care, I just want other people to try it and send it.

Here's an EPIC video I put together JUST FOR YOU GUYS. Enjoy it,  my loyal, zealous, rabid fans.

This is MY BLOG

There are a few things you should know about this blog.

1. This may very well be the only post I ever make.
2. Should I continue to use this blog, 97.5% of my posts will be about rock climbing. 2.4% will be about funny things I find on the internet. .1% will be about other things in life.
3. I will not spell check, grammar check, space check, eat chex mix, or write you a check. The only thing I can promise you is that my paragraph structure WILL be superior to Chad Greedy's blog. (Chad Greedy)
4. I will probably try and be funny, but fail in doing so. You may feel free to humor me by telling me how whimsical and clever my blog posts are. If you do not wish to humor me, you can tell me I have amazing hair, because we all know that to be a declaration of truth.
5. I will, use, too many commas. 
6. From time to time, I might put up pictures or videos that could be deemed NSFW. It depends if my grandparents decide to look at my blog. 

Ok! that's all you need to know for now. See you in 6 months when I decide to make another blog post!
