About 30 years ago I put my mom through some serious pain and then idd again about 7 years ago when I left for California.I "went to school out there", which is true, although I bartended through it and had just about too good of a time. I got engaged, graduated, and realized that what I wanted and what I was doing weren't the same thing. So after a short hospital stay and a totaled car, here I am back on the east coast again. Although now I live in Brooklyn and just got a job working with Digitas in New York. Apparently, you just always have to hang in for what you want and before anything know what that is.
