Well, it’s been a great 2003! It’s amazing how much change can happen in a single year… and as far as I know, it’s all been for the better. Drifting has gotten huge, I’ve made a ton of new friends, reacquainted myself with old ones… I’ve watched a lot of drivers grow, a lot of businesses grow, I’ve seen the import/drifting/driving scene grow. And although I often hear about bitterness towards corporate involvement in the drifting world, I think we wouldn’t be where we are today if it wasn’t for them… also, without the support of Speedtrial USA and Drift Association, there would be no legal drifting, and no instructors to teach the next generation of drifters. I am so thankful for my sponsors, my friends, family, and most of all Nadine… for all of the support, honesty, encouragement, and friendship.

I am so excited to see what’s in store for us in 2004! Happy New Year, everybody!

What an exciting week! First my stuff gets stolen from my OWN garage, then a few days later I go drifting at Irwindale Speedway, doing tandem drifting with my friends, and then I have a bbq at my place with all of my buddies for my birthday – and they all got me really great car stuff! You’ll all see it later, but I’m telling you my car is TYTE now! Hahaha! I don’t understand why people would go out of their way like that to get me such things… I don’t think I deserve them, but times like these remind me that I have really really great friends. Thank you guys… So… so what if my things were stolen? I want them back, of course, but really… who needs material things when you’ve got a home, great friends, a really special lady, and a little rugrat who never ceases to make me smile? I went out to dinner with my mom and dad, Nadine and Kristy for my birthday… can my life be any better? Uhh… I guess I could be a lot better at drifting! Hahaha. Bye guys. Stop stealing.

Upon popular demand, I am updating my journal! Haha! So the holiday season has been busy and plus me and Nadline had our 1 year anniversary to boot… I’ve been too busy to play around with my car. However, it’s been raining and after that rainy Willowsprings event, I am way comfortable with drifting in the rain… I have a good understanding of it and how the tires react. So if there is a big circle freeway onramp in your area, let me know because I love them. But don’t copy me! I’m dangerous and I wanna crash my car and die… There is a drift event up in northern California at Thunderhill… I’m thinking about going up there with my two babies (hint: one is black and one is pink). I dunno if I can make it up there sitting on that racing seat the whole time… I might just have to go without it. I washed my car the other day and did the Meguiar’s 3 step wax… I totally forgot how good my car can look when it’s all cleaned up! I even removed most of my stickers… I’m sick of them. Well, job search is sucking too… I’m gonna need money if I want to keep driving. If you’re reading this, and you know of a job opening, e-mail me! I’ll upload another video from Buttonwillow later… Happy New Years everybody!
