The names pat-rick daigle, 20 years old from northern maine..a small town called fort kent, known for it’s long winters and decent snowfall considering it’s on the east. Unfortunatley the mountains aren’t very big and the terrain for skiing is limited. I graduated highschool in 2006 and got into some trouble (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5RvuOgW3Mco&feature=channel_page) , tried a couple different colleges for stuff I wasn’t really interested in to keep my parents happy, got into more trouble with alcohol(oui which sucked cuz I wasn’t drinking much and drove from my neighbors but had a burnt headlight) and weed (2 grams and our government has the laws messed up but I won’t get started with that), all of which has put me into debt and kept me working dead end jobs that don’t allow me to ski as much as I wish to. My bosses have always told me skiing will bring me nowhere and I should give up, I even had one tell me to burn my skis but I can’t and won’t. I have been filming and editing anything and everything since my freshman year in highschool and am known around here for being good at that, especially my ski videos. (heres my youtube account so you can check out my videos, you probablly will recognize a few http://www.youtube.com/user/ecdestruction) I have been told by a lot of people I look up to I can go places with my talent, why I haven’t already is beyond me. My parents are disapointed but I need to get on with my own life and do what I want. I hate how people are contolled and run..and how unhappy everyone is all the time. I can learn and do anything I set my mind to, but the reason behind why I do something is what drives me. I know I will be able to meet people along the way that I can help and will help me as well. I believe if you want something in life you need to go and grab it. It will be hard to leave my family, it always is but I need to keep in mind I’m doing it for happiness. My goal is to travel and ski as much as possible all over the west coast, anywhere with new people and places will be great. I am going to bring along my camera(even though it sucks) and film my experience and share with everyone over the internet, mtv true life style, not really. If someone is interested and wants to help I’d like to put my videos on a website or web blog. I quit my job today and would like to get out there asap. I am still waiting on my tax return to get a plane ticket since my parents don’t know I’m doing this yet and I doubt they’ll let me drive since I probably will no longer be able to pay my car. It should be interesting and I don’t expect them to be supportive so if they tell me to pack my bags and leave then so be it that’s what I’m going to do anyways..it would be great with some of their help and if I can drive. But yea I just thought I’d share w/ everyone whats going on and if anyone is interested with what I’m doing and think they can help me in any way send me a message, I will take all the help I can get. Thanks for taking the time to read this and I hope that if you are in a situation like mine that you follow your passion, whatever that may be.
