(Time flies. And, apparently, so does Greyson.)

It is with a heavy heart that I am announcing my withdrawal for candidacy for the position of San Clemente City Council.

At this point in my life, I have come to the conclusion that my son Greyson takes precedence and priority above and beyond all other matters. Though I have spent a lot of time researching all issues and avenues that would benefit and help the residents and city of San Clemente, I think it is far more important that I continue to build a relationship with my son first and foremost. He is what matters to me more than anything else.

We just got back from an epic skate event up in Oregon, and we’re planning another one down the road. We work together, live together, surf together, skate together. This is my life and I love it. The time is now but, at the same time, time waits for no one. I missed out on a lot of his earlier years, so I need to be here for him now. I admit, it’s been hard trying to play catch-up, but it’s also been a blast. Trials and tribulations - and I wouldn’t trade this moment for anything.

I would like to thank everyone who has supported me along this brief political journey of mine; family, friends and especially to my loyal fans. You guys have always had my back and it really shows.

But I’ll be back. Just because I’m withdrawing now doesn’t mean my career in politics is over. Who knows what the future will hold? So, expect to see my name on the ballots two yeas from now. Christian Fletcher for San Clemente City Council 2012!

And, man, I really like how Councilman Fletcher sounds… I think it has a nice ring to it.

Sincerely,

Christian Fletcher

Here are some pics of Greyson tearing up random skate parks around Orange County. He’s been ripping it up, and some cougars are on him now to teach their groms how to skate. Pretty sick. Private skate lessons, anyone?

Training hard for August. Boxing, kick-boxing, golf, tennis, curling, surfing, skating, eating healthier. I’m not gonna go down without a fight. Things are gonna get epic. Stay tuned for more because I know you guys are confused as fuck as to what the hell it is I’m talking about.

Tennis, anyone? Christian Fletcher is always a "raquet".

This is my kid, Greyson. He’s 19-years-old. He loves to skate and I think that’s pretty obvious from this video. He wears a pink helmet. And you know what? He’s fucking fine with that, and so am I. The kid goes big. He shows up, blows up, and he’ll fucking do it again tomorrow. Check out the video for now with follow-up pics soon to follow…one thing at a time, you greedy bastards.
