The last few days have been hectic. That's just putting it lightly. I'm pretty sure I'm prepared to face the possibility of a death in the family. I mean, with Mom in and out of the hospital.. and Jin's poorly-timed practical joke that thoroughly convinced me that my mother was dead. Hours wasted worrying and sometimes even breaking down. I'm ready. But you know what? After today, when Mom came home, I got this feeling that everything was going to be alright. And it will be. I feel like a moron for blowing people off over this stretch of the year. I've made promises and dates with people that I never really kept up with, but not intentionally. I've left this house a handful of times, maybe three or four times to get highdrunk or spend hours in the freezing cold taking the last few drags of a cigarette with jerks that are also known as my closest friends. Scratch "closest". I hang out with my best-of-friends-that-are-slowly-falling-apart friends. Main street isn't main street anymore
No one seems to need us like they did before
It's hard to find a reason left to stay Anyhow, I blew a good three hundred on new snow gear(with sweet colors). I have this thing against black footwear. I've owned one pair of black shoes in my entire life, and that was when I was a kid. They were black velcro LA lights, or some knockoff brand that lit up your shoes when you walked. Other than the sweet neon package that came with them, looking at my feet encased in black made me want to vomit. Or be depressed. Still does to this very day. I just can't stand black on my feet. Which is why the first thing I replaced out of my snowboarding set up were my black honkin snowboard boots. Ugh. I don't mean to sound like a girl, but I shed a tear or two every time I had to unbuckle from the board. Oh, how depressing. Those were replaced with white/grey camo THIRTYTWO Prions. Size 12, courtesy of Zumiez. Next up on the list was head gear. After going enduring some thorough thrashing on the dome, I invested in a white/grey Bad Lieutenant helmet, by Giro. Makes me look like a chubby filipino kid on the cover of Call of Duty 2. Backpack. I've always wanted to take a backpack with me when I hit the slopes because I dehydrate easy(sweat, piss) and I'm tired of resorting to eating snow. Hello Dakine Blade backpack! With your huge carrying capacity, as well as a cross carry system for my snowboard and additional carry straps on the back I can carry BOTH my snowboard AND my M4 snowskate. Your primary feature is the camelback system built in with an additional sidecarry for cans. Oh man. The possibilities. I could be drunk(with excitement of course) AND cruising down the mountain. and finally. The snowsk8.
with my first snowskate totally trashed because of campus riding, I have yet to see a reason why I shouldn't blow 50 bucks every time this thing breaks. its fast, convenient and its fucking cool. anyways. my christmas sucked, but I treated myself to statistically worthless material things. I can only use this shit for 2-3 months out of the year.
bbl. next year.
