i'm on the no plan plan

i don't know what to say to you besides the fact that tomorrow morning i leave for california. four good friends caravanning in two cars out on the open road. goodbye east coast, hello west coast. goodbye great big house, hello sardine can.

at the beginning of this week i had all these ideas of things i was going to write about...a wonderful summarization of some of the wonderful things (quitting my first full-time job) and some of the not so wonderful things (getting my car towed twice) that have happened to me this past year. but i'm not going to do that. this blog was never meant to have a "final term paper" feel to it. i'm not going to tell you what i will miss about carolina and my life here...i'm going to wait a week and then tell you what i miss.

one thing i will tell you, however, is that i have never been so fearless in my entire life as i am at this very moment. and by "fearless" i mean a total abandonment of wanting and needing a definite plan. i neither know what city i will be in tomorrow night nor where it is i will be sleeping. i don't know where i will apply for a job in los angeles, how i will perform in comparison to all the other athletes this summer, or where i will be when the leaves start to fall off the trees. i always had questions, but now i don't feel the compulsive (and exhausting) need to have my answers. i don't know where all my ducks have run off to, but they are certainly not in a row. and for the first time in my life that's alright for me.

i lied. i will tell you one more thing: i've given this blog a lot of thought these past couple of weeks and i'm happy to report that theboomeranger ain't going no where...at least as far as the world wide web is concerned :) i may be leaving the nest but nothing is for certain. a new phase of my life is ushering in and i want to continue to share my adventures with you. i'll be more specific as to what direction this blog is headed for later, but for the duration of my roadtrip, i'd like to "check out" as they say (sans the use of narcotics). besides one post that i have already prepared and ready to go, you won't be hearing a peep out of me for the next three thousand miles. at least, that's the plan...but we all know that doesn't mean shit anymore.

see you in a week.
