On July 19th, 1998, my brother and I left
behind the cornfields and fresh air of the midwest and traded it for the
smog of Houston, Texas. It was a very big change, both geographically
and mentally...but I could not have written a better story as to how things
have turned out. Over the past few years, I've learned a lot about what
it's like to live in Texas and I have had some seriously crazy times.
So far, it has been a hell of a ride.
