It's kind of funny because I thought of starting a blog a few weeks ago and I find out there are many of you out there doing the same thing.  I can start out briefly by introducing myself  I am a 19 year old college student.  I am also an avid entrepreneur and work as a booking agent for a larger independent record label.  I work with bands ranging from metal to emo.  I also work full time at an indie music retail marketing firm.  I currently have the best jobs I have ever had.  I just returned from a month long tour with my friends band Our Last Night.  There album comes out on Epitaph Records today (shameless plug). I worked merch and ate crappy food all the time.  After eating crap for a month straight I was really motivated to lose weight as well as turn vegetarian.  I haven't eaten meat for a good week now.  I know I can go forever as I actually tried while tour managing this summer but gave up because of it being impossible while on the road.  I won't be touring till late this summer and by than I will be used to not eating meat.  I currently weigh in at 219 pounds 6' 2" and my target weight is 185 pounds.  I used to weigh this much and it was amazing.  I don't think I have seen that number since the last time I dieted 2 years ago.  I will be posting about my progress as well as everyday life.
