the endless summer

im over hearing people say "i wish i could do that" and " its just not that easy" and any other negative comments about what they are capable of. just do it already!!!! if you wanna go somewhere, go there. it sounds simple but some people just don't understand that they are capable of doing the things they want to do. all you need is a positive attitude and a little confidence in yourself and things will work out.  you could live the endless summer if you wanted to! traveling around the world in search of the perfect "wave". spend less time worrying about things and more times doing things.

i dont care if you live in maine and you have 10 dollars to your name and you wanna go to colorado to go skiing. you could make it happen no sweat..
    4 months ago i spent my birthday in the bus with about 10 dollars to my name. i spent the whole day waiting to see what my g/f wanted to do and when i saw her at about 5pm, she instantly broke up with me. i worked for a few weeks,made enough money to buy a plane ticket and flew to tennessee. got a shit job working at a fair for 15 hours a day for a week straight for 8 bucks an hour. toughed it out and at the end had enough money to fly back home pick up the bus and drive it to texas. when i got here i had about 100 bucks left and a loose plan. found a job.. worked for 3 weeks and then had a blast swimming in the warmth and riding my bike everyday for 3 more weeks. got another random job for a week in west texas. went out there busted it out and rode a bunch of skateparks on the way back to austin. and here i am again back in the same boat. i got paid 570 bucks for the week of work and i spent 400 of it on a plane ticket to puerto rico for a month. i just spent 50 bucks on groceries and now i have 120 dollars to my name with no plans to get more.   with the wonderful world of craigslist. its impossible to not find a way to get money if your not lazy about it.. this is a pointless post but its just a reminder that if you want to do something you can do it.

 "go confidently in the direction of your dreams! live the life you have imagined."
