Nashville 2012
So next year I'm going to be moving to Nashville,TN this is something I'm extremely excited about and nervous about for many reasons.
I always planned on moving to Nashville after college but couldn't afford too, really still can't afford too but I'm going to do it.
Many of you know, some of you don't know I got jumped last year outside of my apartment complex. Terrfiying experience to be punched in the back of the head as hard as possible and have six people run you down wanting to beat you up over a phone. After I shut the door on the people chasing me, a single thought ran through my head that if they had knife and knifed me from behind I could of died on a parking lot of Trinty Lakes Apartments. For months after this I was plague with this thought because it always lead back to what have I done with my life? Have I achieved any of the goals I laid out for my self? (things beyond just making movies) . And honestly I didn't like the answer, I want to do so much with the life given to me and I won't even take a risk on moving away from a place I'm confrontable with. So I decided to make a list of goals to achieve and one of them was that in one year I would move to Nashville, that one year is almost up and I'm going to do it.
I think part of the reason I wanted to stay behind was because of friends, I take friendship so seriously, after a long history of so called friends who weren't real friends, I believe nothing should become between friendships. So I put this part of my life on hold in hopes my friends would want to go with me. I mean how much easier would it be to go to a new city with all your friends? Sadly they have lifes haha and after begging them sooooo MANY times they want to stay behind for now. I'm bummed about this, I've been friends with Reid for over 13 years, but he wants to stay behind for a year to save up for a car, we did talk about visiting and hanging out since its only a 3hr drive and yes we are still going to make videos together, that goes for all my Memphis friends & filming buddies.
So the beginning of next year I'll be moving in with a Youtube buddy of mine. :) And bonus the girlfriend has been in Nashville for about a year and the driving back and forth every weekend to see each other will save on gas thus saving the planet lol This is saving our planet!
I just had the BEST DANG CHICKEN TENDERS!

THANK YOU!
So New Prime 5 is finally done and I really want to thank you guys for encouraging me to finish it and to take as much time as I needed. When I started this episode I had NO CLUE what I was in for I shot it not knowing how to do 90% of it. I remember when I started to edit it I was so discouraged for the first month because it was such a slow grueling process. Then when I realized I wouldn't make my Sept. deadline and I have never been so stressed out in my life, I was SOOOO worried everyone was going to get extremely mad and to my surprise when I announced I needed more time it was meet overwhelming support not a single person got mad. It was a humbling experience and at this moment the stressed melted off and I had a new found energy to finish it. I can't thank you guys enough! Reading your guys comment on the video and on my facebook made it all worth it :) If I can give any advice from this experience, If you start feeling completely lost and overwhelmed keep at it and stay positive. Celebrate the small victories. :) Expect more videos soon can't wait to doof around again!
