So as my departure date grows ever nearer and I am endeavoring to get rid of 17 years worth of junk, but look down at all the crap I have left to pawn, curb, ditch, throw out, store, or whatever you want to call it, I can't help but think back on the memories I've made and the people I've met along the way. I've found it much more difficult to say goodbye to some of these things/people than I initially thought. So many memories, so many laughs. We've lived together, performed together, traveled together, laughed, cried, drank together. These folks have helped me out when I needed a hand, and supported me from afar when I needed to make the tough decisions (like getting the Hell out of California and moving to Boston). Without them, I'd be passed out in a gutter or drowning in the bottom of a bottle somewhere. So this one's for them. All of them. Thanks for the memories, guys - until we meet again.
Don't worry, these are the only two pictures of me in high school. Mostly because they are the only two I could find
Now enter the photos almost exclusively of me with, either directly or indirectly, the World Famous Marching Lumberjacks. For six years this has been my family. And these have been my adventures.

So there we are.....Six years worth of memories. I tried to keep them more or less in chronological order, and I know that I didn't do justice to some of you, but I wasn't going to put all 700 facebook photos on here. I've had some great times in California, and I met some amazing people. Not all of them made it in here, primarily because I couldn't find pictures of some of them. But those that did are all very important to me and I will carry those memories with me in my heart, East and West wherever I go
