Crazy People

My Brother Tim found this video on youtube and I thought it was entertaining enough to share on this blog here. It shows how ridiculous people act towards kids who just want to have some fun and skate around town. This particular woman should work on thinking before screaming, it would save her ample amounts of energy and her voice box won't need replacing. But then we wouldn't have this entertaining clip, turn up the volume to feel as though your actually there, or not if you are startled easily! 

Start It Out Right

 I started this blog when I was in school and decided to start it over again. After deleting all of my previous posts which really non of them were very interesting I decided to document my year of not attending classes and instead focusing all my energy toward playing in the snow! I found this Calvin and Hobbes cartoon (click on it to make it bigger) which is the greatest cartoon ever published. Bill Waterson is a genius and portrays the imagination and life of a third grader perfectly, I feel as though I can truly relate with Calvin (even though girls have cooties! Oh Jeezus!) This particular comic strip basically describes my thought process when I was in school and it shows beautifully why my decision this year was to take a break from my academic studies and commence my lifestyle on two planks in the mountains! 

I am very excited to not spend my weekend writting a ten page essay explaining in MLA format the political and economical tourmoil that America has fallen into, complete with correct citations and perfect grammatical/punctuation usage. Instead I'll have more time with mother nature and the magical gift she bestows upon us every winter! You could call me stupid to obsess over a pastime that causes pain and injury, but at the same time I feel a sense of accomplishment and elated happiness whenever my day of skiing is over regardless of how nice or shitty the conditions were. I'll take a foggy, rainy, miserable day at the mountain over class or even a minimum wage job any day of the week. I can't wait to go skiing!
