Err .... I've never been a big journal person, but my life took several very unexpected turns in 2007 that I thought it prudent to talk about it a bit.

Death and Torment:

I guess the biggest turning point in 2007 happened when I quit The 7 Method in June. After 7 years of service it became apparent that I no longer fit in with those guys. It wasn't easy to come to that decision and it hurt a lot to feel that rejected, but I held my ground, made my point, and moved on in my life. It's hard to fathom that I would ever quit simply because it was always my life's dream to tour, but leaving certainly had its advantages. I only wish I knew then what I know now.

Becoming Myself Again:

As I struggled with the pain of letting go of my dream, I stumbled on an opportunity to advance my career in Memphis, TN. It was a 6 month contract that could have led to a full time position. While the job didn't pan out and Memphis ended up being kind of a hole in the wall, I met some wonderful people there that taught me a lot about myself, life, and my relationships with other people. I also reconnected with some of my old passions and remembered how much fun it is to be outdoors with good friends. Interestingly enough, I managed to break a few relationships in my en devour to learn more about relationships. As I spend my last night in Memphis I can honestly say that I already miss my friends here. Those Memphis nights will not be forgotten, and I hope to return on a regular basis.

Rebirth:

I've been working at Market America (my new job) for a month now, and I'm here in Memphis finishing my move. MA is the first shop I've worked with that actually has it's act together (although, my coworkers may disagree). My new boss is really my kind of guy. I believe I will flourish here for a change. My roots are starting to take and my career is finally on a straight and solid path. If only I could nail down the girl situation. I am loaded with a good job, a better perspective on life, and some new insights on my relationships so hopefully that will work itself out as well. It's an exciting time in my life, I only hope I can keep up the good vibes.
