I am moving in one week to San Francisco. I'm finally doing what I wanted to do when I was younger. Go to school out of Reno, meet new people, experience more culture fiends and leave behind the douche bags that drive trucks and wear Skin Industries and Metal Mulisha bullshit.
Go to school for the thing I want to do and not what will make me money necessarily. I'm going to major in film and minor in maybe theater and music because I want to start acting again. It was something I was good at and want to still do. I want to start doing stand up comedy and make people laugh like I did in high school.
The father of one of my classmates said he would come to just see me at the improv shows or any other performance because he thought I was hilarious and saw me doing all that as a career. I gotta do it. I have to make people laugh, I do now, but more people. People I don't know, people I want to know or people I just want to cheer up.
I'm going to start another band when I get out there. Finally I will be able to meet people who can play up to par with me. I have had shitty experiences of people either not motivated to practice or motivated to improve.
Most of all, I'm excited to leave the ignorance. The racism and the cowardice of people in this town. I have been jumped, had racial slurs told to me, been made unwelcome to many places, back-stabbed by people I thought were friends.
I can finally have a green card and live the life I wanted. I do not regret the past 3 1/2 years since I graduated because I might not be the person I am today without those shitty experiences.
To all my friends, you are all welcome in my home in San Francisco (when I find one) and can stay as long as you like. I wish I can take you with me but this is an adventure that I must take on my own.
