I enjoy drugs and need (or enjoy) them (caffeine) to make $45k a year. Keep in mind, coffee is a drug. Alcohol on the weekends counts too. So does the maryjane. So hop off the high horse...

don't push it on me that i'm not "cool" because i don't do drugs & drink every single night. I have a great time on the weekends. I do my fair share of drinking. I have also had my fair share of struggles with alcohol. I don't, however, allow them to control my life much like the people i live with. I'm less than a year out of college and have the focus to have moved to a new job with a 15% pay raise working 60hr weeks in finance. I do just fine without bumping coke at 2Am on a saturday night in the living room of our apartment.

relax man! I am not pushing doing drugs on you. I was just reminding everybody that caffeine is an addictive drug. So is alcohol. And that I can smoke maryjane pretty regularly and have a great job

I know, just reminding people that coffee is a drug. So is alcohol. Nothing worse than a alcoholic ragging on stoners or drug addicts just because their drug of choice is legal..

I wasn't directing that at you, I'm just not pushing that my lifestyle is necessarily better than anyone else's, just ranting. I especially don't need to hear that out of some 29 year old bum from Lynn, Massachusetts that is an "entrepeneur" (think: makes t-shirts) that has made several threads about his drug habits. Out of curiosity, where do you live? I make a decent chunk higher than 45k, but even living with 4 other people, cash is fairly tight. Rent is insane. I would love to make 45k and be completely comfortable. Also, student loans are bending me over a barrel.

I was voicing my opinion and then asked someone a legitimate question, but it's people like you who have to get all butthurt and start acting like a 12 year old because it's over the internet. And FYI i've never been bothered by police in my town but I know people who have that is why I was ranting.

You think I suck at my job and am a shitty entrepreneur?
If I sold my tickets 24 hours ago to this game (I had 17 2 were good season tickets and 15 of them cost about 12 bucks each) I wouldn't have even netted 20 dollars each yet I managed to squeeze out 600 bucks selling at the right time today. Cost me about 240 total. You know how to get that kind of return in a few months?
And this is just a bullshit run of the mill game I almost forgot I had tickets to.
See youngsters this is how you have to respond when some troll tells you you suck at your job.

Yeah I know for sure. It is just he sounded to cocky saying "Enjoy working your minimum wage job for the rest of your life" when plenty of drug addicts make plenty of money. Especially since coffee and beer are drugs. I am sure his buddies are deadbeats but that doesn't mean everybody who uses drugs for work or recreation are lazy. I am done beating the horse now..

My attitude is a direct reflection of how they have treated the place we pay to live in. I would very much love to have my own place, but as you can imagine, it is not easy to find a livable place for myself and my girlfriend at a price i can afford. My attitude is a reflection of coming home from work at 10PM on a tuesday night to my apartment trashed; beer cans all over the place, shot glasses everywhere, fireball all over the counter and kitchen floor, pizza boxes everywhere... and it stays like that until I clean it up. Because instead of getting off their asses and cleaning, respecting the place we pay $3000 to live in, they're sitting in their rooms smoking. I don't know a single person who is "happy" to live in a complete shithole and do all the work to make sure it doesn't turn into a shithole. So by saying i'm not "cool" because i don't really like cocaine & smoking weed is just fucking retarded, especially when I've had my own struggles with alcohol. But hey, to each his own. You may very well be a good businessman in your own right, so I'm sorry, I shouldn't have insulted you. If what you're doing allows you to get in some big ski trips, then shit, that's fucking awesome. I'm headed out to Utah in a week, weaseled my way into some vacation time, I can't wait.

You will be fine once you stop expecting the same control over your living situation that you have in other areas. Go back in the thread and see if you'd rather have theabortionators roomie...or cl randos... or Asian grad students.
And in 2 years when these kids have moved on and you are still faced with the dilemma of get a roommate in Boston or commute from fuck in Framingham you might wish you still had this sitch.
In 2009 I was able to rent out a closet sized bedroom in Newton with my boys for 300 bucks a month. U think I didn't miss that 2 years later from my mom's basement regardless of those kids issues?
And our story was when I moved in I tried to stop it being a frat house but one roommate didn't back me and the other kid kept drinking 24/7 with his brother while the clean neat freak roommate got all pms-your even tho he didn't have my back when I said cut the shit college is over. I ended up losing my jobs during this period and decided to just partake in the 24/7 brews and bong show. And when it ended I missed the apartment immediately.

so essentially, I'm in the same situation you were in. It's such a mindfuck. The kids I live with are super nice to me, we go out on the weekends and have a great time, but when it comes to everything else I'm just losing my mind. I wish i hadn't moved out so fast and had saved more, but living in Brighton has been a blast. I can walk to my office. You can't beat that. I'd like to be deeper in the city in the near future tho.

I mean I worked plenty hard and got drunk and stoned every night. Lol at the thought of that making me a terrible person. I'm not saying that everyone should do that, but jesus dude, you need to lighten up a bit.
College age people drinking, and smoking, oh god know! People that aren't 40+ not acting like they're 40+ stop the fucking presses.
Why don't you move to a nice studio somewhere where you can be asleep every night by 8:30 and bang your broom on the ceiling if the people upstairs sneeze too loud.

I love my mountain and all but damnit these rich gapers piss me off more than anything. Stowe had to attract the hedge-fund asshole who's decked out in Arcteryx and rental skis/boots and thinks because he's rich he can do whatever the fuck he wants. I had to dig out some asshole's kid from a tree well today, which I'm happy to do, but when I go to tell him that he shouldn't let his 6 year old daughter in the woods alone he acts like I'm asking the world of him and skis off. Fuck those people.

Hit Giants Ridge on a pristine 30 degree day and the park was closed for a usasa slopestyle comp which got me really pissed off, especially since there was no notice about it ahead of time and it was full of people doing flailing ungrabbed 1s and 3s that would then wash out on the landing and ice it up. Also for some reason there were skiers in the comp which doesn't make any sense to me because usasa is a snowboarding organization, damn pagans. I don't hate competitions, but I get pissed when my favorite park gets shut down for an exclusive group of terrible riders to compare themselves to other terrible riders.
13361310:john18061806 said:
I think they do both. I remember having skiers and boarders at one of our usasa comps a while back. I wish more mountains would do non usasa comps though. I kind of got out of it around 05 when everything siwtched over. Sometimes you just want to show up for a single contest, not pay $$$$$$$$ for a series that you might not even go to the rest of. IT's a cool opportunity if you're trying to do nationals, but I miss the mellow 1 day events. They still have plenty of them but the mountains I used to go to for comps when I was younger pretty much got rid of everything other than usasa and it made me sad
Apparently it is my fault that this person is unorganized as fuck and didn't send me a really important email about applying for a position next year.
ok.
fuck you too.
How the fuck am I supposed to show up to this fucking meeting if you don't say a word to me about it? Like everyone else got the email but the info in it was to be kept private. So no one said anything to me about it. Now I'm getting blamed for not showing up. But like how the fuck was I supposed to know. Fuck this shit.
If I'm not able to apply for the position now I'm gonna be angry as fuck.
Ugh I'm too stressed right now.

it was probably a rev tour or something. those are both skier and boarder events, at least they were when I did the competing bullshit.
shit you just reminded me that USSA Junior Nationals are in PC soon. bye bye killer 4-line in pick :*(
the big line is fun but I am just too big of a pussy to do anything on those jumps, so I go cruise groomer laps and hot lap everything.

at least some of the kids there are good enough to be competing, they are going off axis and shit, actually doing switchups and 4/6 outs. not the complete and utter bullshit that closed the park I wanted to hit where I saw a skier hit all rails on his run and HE DIDN'T EVEN SLIDE HALFWAY THOUGH ANY OF THEM. Like seriously, you're just wasting your time and my time and hogging up a rad park
(claiming here) when the comp was over I hit the park and brought the heat like a fucking arsonist to those skiers. blind 4 to sw lip front 6, seatbelt cuban 5, front swap pretz 4 on a kink rail. blew my mind that i linked that all in one run but i was super pissed and wanted to show these kids that comp skiing is not how you get good, but lapping/filming park with friends is.
even worse they were all having a little cluster orgy on one of the rails (sitting, stomping, & rimming) which royally fucked up the lip and how it was set. it was bad enough that you guys closed the park but if you fucking dare disrespect it to that level I will lose my shit. I asked them to leave nicely at first and it's a good thing they did.
Got offered free tickets, place to stay, food in jackson last minute for my days off. Was excited. Had planned on just catching up on sleep since I was sick and hadn't had a day off in 2 weeks cause I worked the open on my days off, but whatever. The snow was supposed to be nice up there and free skiing.
Didn't even make it a 1/4 of the way and broke down in the middle of nowheresville. Spent 6 hours + chilling(literally) in my car.
Luckily I had hand warmers. Open all that I had and put them in between my shirt and hoodie. Had a sleeping bag I keep in the bag just in case. Had a party in the passenger seat. Skiing and WY are overrated as fuck. HAd an absolute blast kicking it in my car all night. AAA was all like "We can be there in 5 min" and I was like "Nah guys, take your sweet time, I'm having an EPIC time just hanging out here. If you want to come chill for a bit before you tow me that's cool, just bring some extra beers."
Honestly had so much fun that I might start doing it every week on my days off.
Extra stoked that $$$ was finally starting to come together and now I get to spend it on new and exciting things like towing and whatever the fuck is wrong with my car.
Suck it wyoming, I had the best night ever and I bet you're all jealous.

When I was skiing a week ago during my holidays, there were so many goddam gapers in the park cutting me and the other skiers there up, it was ridiculous. And before any of you say, there is a perfectly good beginner park for them. Not only this, but they also try to drop into the superpipe, and then proceed to ski pizza down the middle, really slowly pissing off everyone trying to hit it.
I mean, I understand people being keen to learn and stuff, but this is just annoying, they should still be on the bunny hill wtf.

My roomates back to ranting about his mom asking him to call his sister. "Between the two of them(sisters) one of them is always fucking having a baby" "Ill get to it when I get to it". Such a busy life sitting in a hotel room in xany land watching yukon men. Like it would fucking kill you to call your sister for 5 minutes and be like, "congrats on the kid hope all is well, I'd love to chat but amish mafia is coming on"
I dont really care but hearing him bitch like it would be the end of the world if he took 5 out of his oh so busy life to call her. I just wish he'd get another car, a girlfriend, get lost, kidnapped, a new job, join a cult, something.

comp skiing is just another form of skiing like Big mtn and urban. the best thing about this sport is its all subjective. everyone has their own tastes and spins to the sport, and that's why I love it. we have street murderers, comp big guns, heavy hitters slaying the most insane Big mtn lines, and dudes who just kill it every where. I don't have an issue with comp skiing, I just wish people had more fun. I missed when Andreas Hatveit competed. Win or lose, he would always be smiling and just stoked to be here. Now people get all pissed off when they get bumped into third fucking place.
whatever, im high and rambling. do what you wanna do, guys. skiing is skiing and we all go downhill at some point. however you choose to go downhill is fine by me, just don't say im doing it wrong.

Fourth year in a row where I have delamed my daily driver before the end of the season. ON3P is the last hope I have before going to skis with metal in them.
