Why I'm Stoked on This Summer

-Music. Sooo excited for my music possibilities this summer, real talk. I've just been asked to take over playing lead guitar for the band American Ruins, which I'm super happy about. It's gonna be awesome being a part of a band that's signed to an independent label (sinkswimpress.com, check it out), that already has an established fan base in Richmond, that's going to actually be active, and that some of my best friends are already in. Also my project band with my good buddy Morris, Basement Dweller, is starting to shape up a lot, so that'll be sick once it gets off the ground. Just gotta save up for an amp stack...sigh.

-My girlfriend. Pretty self explanatory. She's freaking awesome, still can't believe that she's willing to deal with all my nonsense, for almost a whole year now!

-My (relatively) new friend group. While a lot of the kids I hang out with went to Freeman, I wasn't that great of friends with them before college, and I've met a ton of awesome new people since going to VCU that I've been hanging with. I'm really happy that I finally have a super tight group to be with and to get into crazy shenanigans with. I count myself very fortunate to have them.

-Downtown in general. Late nights walking around the streets and down alleys amongst the tall buildings. River hangs. Diving off of things. Belle Isle. Running around Jackson Ward. Hardcore shows. I love my city.
