Last Call?

Every time I hear this track, I think of my fucking incredible struggle to make a splash in the ski industry. Much like Mr. West - I've made the impossible happen while destroying it in the process. His Last Call track always catapults reflection of my own developing story as I break into the ski industry.

Much like any of these hip hop icons, I've been breaking into my own industry. Every up and every down feel equally substantial - everything could build or bust off this move.

Bottom line is there's something that makes my heart beat about the whole thing - skiing. I don't know how I ended being driven to this sport or the industry and lifestyle surrounding it. Sometimes I just wish I could have a coaches' rating to gauge my influence. Those guys don't realize how fortunate they are to see their record or true rating or a quantifiable number.

I can travel from 95th to 40th in a matter or hours. So can anyone, but it's stressful - no doubt.

Whether it be going from Navy deck ape to journalist and public affairs specialist or from measly Powder intern to account executive with Hayter PR - it's a success story and it's all mine. Maybe my story doesn't sound like Kanye's, but it certainly sounds similar and feels likewise.

In my own defense  - I'm still yet to meet anyone who's gone from my beginnings to my current state. Yeah, that statement could be considered arrogant or conceited. But in reality, I did it - no one else.

Fair nuff I guess. As much as I don't wanna finish this press release tonight, my previous work bought me the ability to push it off till the a.m. - if nothing else.

I wonder what that alone puts my rating at...
