He's not just saying "this is how to get the girl" he's here to share his actual life stories and lessons learned from them. I only have one more thing left to say ... HIT IT ERIC !!</editorsnote>

#TalkNerdyToMeLover's @Redolpho

In a early morning bed time conversation I realized how far this whole thing has come. Candidly, I didn't know that this trip would ever come to fruition during its early stages. This morning my friend looks over at me and says, "you seem so free, so happy." I still remember the thought that I was trapped in something that was insurmountable. Such a burden that it took extreme action to pull myself into a new, better life. And now here we are, ticket bought, money goin in the bank daily and now............

MY FIRST SPONSORSHIP APPLICATION!!!!!!!!!!!
First thing that I'm pursuing is a surfboard sponsorship. I received an email a couple days ago letting me know that I had someone very interested. Although it's too soon to name names or go into to much detail, I can say that I am fairly confident that I'll have a deal closed by the end of the coming week. For me this means legitimacy, it means that the idea was big enough and crazy enough to rally others around in big ways. From the sad lonely person I was to the free individual who's creating a life from the ground up, I now have a date, I'm on the cusp of having my first sponsor, I have TV airplay, but most of all I have a life that I'm head-over-heels in love with. The energy within and around me is illuminating a light that's continuing to attract amazing people like moths the the flame. The only thing that hurts my heart is the thought of not seeing the amazing people that I live with and around everyday. They warm my heart and give me so much support. You know who you are and you know how much I love you all.
