Rolling Hard
Saturday, February 24th, 2007So, I would like to start by saying that the fact that I can bring you this post just blows my mind. I am sitting in my best friend Jon’s cabin after a long day of snowboarding (on the first decent snow of the season). Now it may not seem like that big of a deal but being at 6000′+ in an area that doesn’t even have cell reception in town let alone at the cabin might put things in perspective a bit. So I was sitting down after a tired day and I broke out my laptop to do some studying for art history, yes not only do I play hard but I also try to work hard, and I noticed not only was I picking up someone’s wifi but it was unsecured! So… wham bam I bring you my blog.
I don’t really have a whole lot more to say except that this weekend has been nuts. I brought my new Nikon d80 with me up to the mountain in hopes to snap some great action shots but just never got around to it. If I could justify spending what is likely to be the only slope time I will get this season on snapping pictures I would but the snow was just to good and I was far to busy with actually snowboarding. It was a good day but it was my first time up in nearly a year and while ten years of snowboard experience don’t really ever go away there is no real way to prepare your body for the onslaught that ensues from the first day of the season. Me and Jon came to this realization after both me and him admitted to each other on a chairlift back to the top that despite regularly attending the gym there is no real substitute for being on the mountain. Regardless, we skied till they kicked us off with the only things being said to each other “go big or go home,” and “it’s time to man up!
It is now time that I tell you that I am very tired and that while blogging is great in all there is nothing more in the world that I want more right now then a comfortable bed. So good night world… I will be back on here sometime mid next week as I have two art history mid-terms next week and a graphic design project due. You now know how I roll, hard (ok that was a bit cheesy but I needed a title for this post).
