Throwing myself to the wolves.

Hey man,

Here are some things you need to do before moving here:

#1- Save up $2k-$3k. LA has a way of vacuuming out money...

#2- Fill out every single application that you can find via Craigslist, Monster, Dice, Etc.
- Line up interviews over the course of 1 month.
- Have clothes ready for interviews, etc.

#3- Reach out to friends/family (if you have them), or start looking for rooms to rent/places to stay. If you want to live IN LA, make sure that these places have access to parking... Getting towed sucks... my first stint in LA, I was the guy that got towed.

hey

best of luck man, i remember when i was having some really crap jobs and bein absolutely obsesssed with jiu jitsu and fighting in general and so i wuld always try to put it all into my work, make my job a training session, instead of throwing that cardboard box in the bin id punch it in or kick it in or if i had to sit and do something that was while doing the butterfly strech or lotus. its like eddie says, get used to do it everywhere and eventually it works. i was thnking doing this would possibly be able to help u have anoter job while still thinking about mma etc.

my other ten cents and i mean this in the nicest way. dont let your asbegers control whatyou do. use it to make urself better. if i remember correctly asbergers people usually focus on thing that they really love a lot more than normal. use that concentration to shape ur life. to never give up. make it a gift instead of a hinderence.

and my last piece. if you cant get down to cali/eddie bring it to u. train with other and train the system until uve gotten good enough to open a hotbox, then get a few guys to train with and eventually u can open up a moon of ur own. if this is what u really love then it doesnt matter where u do it.

best of luck man and i hope u succeed and go far, ill be keeping an eye and ear out for ur name on ufc

Best of luck bro! Follow your dreams but like Eddie said your plan has to be on point or it will be a disaster. Maybe try starting out with trips to Portland and build up from there.
