Moving up to Oregon was both good and bad, as my business plan and idea got put aside due and then major control \/ drama with another. Technically I lived off of my unemployment living up in Oregon but at least I got to have some fun. I learned the term drifting with a few DriftX events that took place in Hoodoo resort in Sister&#8217;s Oregon. \u00a0 Ever since then my life has been changed, granted I attempted so many times with my firebird while\u00a0auto-crossing\u00a0and had over 1000 ride-a-longs with other talented drivers.<\/p>\n<p>It is like I have found something in life to actually set my mind on and for once relax but that wasn&#8217;t all in Oregon that got me to relax. It&#8217;s like I had my chance to open my mind first handed on how to run and operate a business and I know with out me the business has crashed. I got to experience a different life for once and a point in my life I can sit down and figure out me for myself. \u00a0Granted I miss Oregon but I don&#8217;t let it bother me, I still every day live my life to the fullest and understanding myself every day as the days go by.<\/p>\n<p>Drift has became a new focus in life for me as for a hobby, \u00a0most I want to take it is Pro-Am status as a goal and doing so having fun. It&#8217;s all about having fun, and it&#8217;s giving myself something I never had before and that is giving me something as I spent most of my life giving and never giving myself but to know what to give your self can also be a challenge it does take soul searching of what makes &#8220;fun&#8221; for you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>All my life I never had a chance to take up a sport or do something that is fun, yeah Karate was fun but I have never really been about competition. \u00a0Anything competition wise bores me as I am not a competitive person.
