I feel so alone, being only 2ish hours away with no decent way to get there... I'm on the lower side of the GG bridge.
Cool man. I'm in San Fran all the time. Always for though work, so I never get to explore the card shops. It's a shame cause the closest one to me is about 1 1/2 away.

The short version:
Born in Oregon, moved to Hawaii, moved back to Oregon, parents split (I was 5), mom and I moved to Honolulu area in Hawaii, I went to live with dad in Fort Collins Colorado, went back to Maui Hawaii with mom, back to Colorado with dad this time in a small mountain town, back to Maui, back to Colorado in a smaller town named Ward then back to Maui.

That was my first 7 years of my life. Dad's a reggae musician and mom is an artsy type that is willing to put her dreams on hold to give me the best life she can. Both great parents but bad together.

Hawaii got to expensive as I grew older so we moved to Boise Idaho to live with my grandma till we got stabalized and found it was a great place to root down. My mom when to jr high and high school in Boise and it was still a good place to be. I proceeded to visit my dad for summers instead of every 6 months. Most of these visits where in Eugene Oregon or somewhere in Hawaii. I got my lifeguard certificiation as soon a I was old enough and made a career in the auquatics industry at the YMCA. It doesnt pay enough though so I am working with some north west based business men and women on a business model that is projected to grow into my livelyhood in the next few years. The particulars are propiatory and I will not/ am not qulified to explain it.

Dad has settled in california for now. Mom has a high end job in Portland now. Im 21 (for about 3 more weeks). Happily in love with Nicki and am looking at being married and starting a family in the next few years. I am working on getting my L2 judge cert before 2015 and want to be on the Pro Tour for magic by then as well.

That about sums up all the superficial parts of my life. I have shared this with the Mods but more than a few of you have asked about me and I hope this answers most or all of your questions.

All the life story
Lol

But later in Pokemon ill battle you, I think you will beat it before me with your long bus ride. Lol
But have fun in Cali, with all the Cali imtg users

Dudecore

Are you afraid to fly Kal? Or just didn't buy a plane ticket?

Kaleo42

The trip was planned late so plane tickets were outrageous.

Ah. That's always a problem. Good luck with your plans. If you wanna hit the Pro Tour - you're close to Channel Fireball and you should be on MTGO (if you aren't already).

Im not a big fan of MTGO but I know it's necessary eventually.

Is mtgo expensive I've never checked?

It is free. I wrote a little guide for the new beta client (here). I personally think MTGO is lots of fun, and very addicting. Being able to get games of whatever, whenever, wherever. It can rekindle your love for Magic the Gathering.

Also, singles are so much cheaper. As of this moment MTGOTraders have {Deathrite Shaman} listed for $4.15. If you do what I did - CapeFearGames.com takes paper product for MTGOTraders.com credit. The exchange rate for paper -> online is sometimes 3 to 1. You can get a {Boros Reckoner}, a Shockland and another good card for 1 paper {Boros Reckoner}.

It's not that bad. It does all of the annoying stuff (shuffle, rules enforcement, token generation, damage calculation). If you ever get around to joining online find me. User Name: Dudecore. Join iMtG Clan. I've got thousands of cards for free and relentless diatribes.

All iMtG members are welcome to join the clan!

Just boarded the final bus. Im about an hour and a half from my destination. My team is all lvl 50+ and final form except for my grass farie that I want to learn solarbeam before I use the shiny stone to evolve it.

Kaleo42

Off the bus.
Lvl. 52 Aurorus
Lvl. 54 Greninja
Lvl. 54 Charizard
Lvl. 55 Lucario
Lvl. 58 Blaziken
Lvl. 58 Florges

Not my greatest team every by any means, but each individual pokemon is very powerful and have decent type cocerage as a group. I have 6 badges and my pokemon clearly are a higher level then the game intended for me to have at this point.

Sounds like Pokemon. So easy to lose track of time while grinding.

Lol so true I got my blaziken up to level 42 by the time I beat the 3rd gym leader

Kaleo42

I wish it was a preset egg instead of an already hatched torchic, but of course an egg cant hold the item. I would want an egg becuase the exp boost ofsets your team especially on a first play through. Also i like to use nicknames.

Millionlittlee

I dislike nicknames for most Pokemon, but some just need it
