the start date for my NOBO couldent come any sooner. every year near xmas which is also around the same time as my bday i have the most awful luck ever. to add to the list i am being kicked out of my aprt cause my roomate left and i cant afford rent so we have to be out by dec 23. 2 DAYS before xmas and to top it off my cell phone was cut off today and the place i was bartending at just went out of business. so from no untill the end of feb when i start my trip i will be homeless,broke and in complete despair. thank god for the AT it is really the only thing i have to look forward to these days.and thanks to all the friends on WHITEBLAZE and all the AT hikers who lend your support. hopefully i will be able to hear back from some of you before they cancel my internet haha see you all on the trail-THE LAW
