It Just Keeps Striking Me.

I know I'm not saying much in these posts, and I'm sorry about that.  Today I was looking at my actualy profile on myspace and saw that my location said that i live in Sioux Falls, South Dakota.  I live in Sioux Falls, South Dakota.  I live in Sioux Falls?????

I live in Sioux Falls.

Amazing.

Thus Far Its Been a Whirlwind

*So all I can say is holy crap.  Calling 20 people a day, interviewing ten and trying to manage everything else involved with this move has been crazy.  Its been hard at times, its been fun at times, but most of all its been stretching at all times and I love it.  Please give me a call when you read this.  I am a tad lonely out here and would love to hear a familer voice.  If I don't pick up I'll call back.  Promise.

Still The Hammer Holds

So its here.  The moment I've been waiting for/dreading for the last year of my life.  The moment that all the hard work I've put into Guitar Center finally pays off.  The moment that I am finally able to start walking down that fork in the road towards a new future.  

I'm off to Sioux Falls, South Dakota to be the General Manager of that location.

Its not that I have doubts about going there.  Its not that I am scared of whether or not I'll succeed.  Its not that I don't have confidence that its that best thing to ever happen to us...

But holy shit.  I'm moving.  I've lived in Minneapolis my whole life.  I love this town.  I love this state.  I love my family (both of them!).  I love my friends (that now I wish I had made a greater effort to see them more often) I love GC339 and all those bastards who work there (and even some of those jerks at 392).  I love my house (dear God, please sell and fast).  I love it here.

But

I'm gonna slaughter that city and make all those emo/hardcore kids that live there realize that its time to grow up and become real musicians.  They won't even know what hit them.

Bebo Norman puts it best.

And maybe I am a little scared....
