Why 2008 was full of win.

So basically it has escaped me in recent weeks that the year is 2009 now. 2008 was certainly something crazy for me. Alot of things came and certainly just as many went. I learned alot and experienced even more. I travelled more than I have in recent years and Made alot of new friends and acquaintences. Philadelphia became somewhat of a second home for me and kids like drew, alf, jon jon, and killgore became like a second family. I Moved on from Havok so I could be with a company closer to home and play a greater part in the image of the company (hence the reason you are reading this blog in the first place) I took a major crash course in skate video production. I edited 2 full length videos and was co-editor on a third. These are huge accompishments for me not to mention skating hard for parts in all three as well. I defintely have learned more about responsability this year. I suppose its just a taste of things to come but that doesnt stop me from looking at everything with the attitude of someone younger than my years. Hopefully that will hold true for as long as I live! I learned ALOT about patience this year and taking things as they come. Alot of that is thanks to my mom and being able to help her has helped me grow in a way that I don’t believe would be possible if I wasnt put into the situation in the first place. Pardon the lack of details on this particular subject but I’d say that the most imporant is all that needs to be written and that important detail is simply that I am a better person today because of what has happened the day before. Many more things could be said but those are the main things that stuck out to me, I managed to turn my life of skating into something I could visually show people the world over in a way that I want it portrayed. I made new friends and visted many new places that I cannot wait to return to and see the people that made those places so amazing and I grew as a person on many levels. Certain people deserve to know that they impacted my life and since I have yet to be in a video that had a thank you list I want to mention a few of them here because even if they dont read it atleast someone will know that these people are doing positive things for others, so thank you to jeph, blake, michael, jeff dalnas, adam killgore, drew amato, Alf, john haynes, dereck, isaac, geoff, & of course Dan Fabiano. There are many more important people but why waste so many names on one blog when there can be so many more interesting entries at their expense? With that being said.. I suppose I could’nt ask for much more out of a mere 365 days but since I am a naturally ambitious person I will do just that of myself in 2009!
