awe nuts): That's no fun at all. I'm sorry!
He had a stroke two Christmas's ago and he's been in the hospital/a nursing home ever since. It's amazing he survived and got to the point of recovery that he did. He's a tough man. I don't wanna see him in pain anymore though.. kinda just sitting around waiting for the call now...
I got to see him yesterday on his birthday though. My whole family and extended family got to be there. His older brother and sister got to celebrate his birthday with him too
So it's nice to know we all were together. Just wish I could be there now too.
Ladybugs. Fuck you
I think Im starting to hate you more than bees. Well maybe not but fuck you!
Also there a pink trash/recycling bin I pass every day. I'm guessing it's for breast cancer.
Nothing stops breast cancer like throwing your trash in a pink bin.
I mean it's cool that you're trying to support something, that you're down for a cure, etc, but what the fuck is the point of your pink bin?
Am I the only one who thinks the commercialization of such a fucked up disease is bad?
Companies are like "Let's use something that kills people as a way to market our shitty products". We'll give 1 penny away for every pair or pink shoes, don't worry, we'll mark them up $1 so that we don't loose anything there, and we project we'll sell 3 times as many shoes because of the pink campaign. It's really a win win. Cancer is awesome right?"

In the lift shacks during the winter there's so many god damn lady bugs. You come in in the morning and they're all flying around and it's just like one big cloud of lady bugs. Then they all congregate to the one corner for the rest of the day. It's so fucked.
Actually thought of something real.
Still doing the health care circle jerk. Can't find out how much blood work is because it's not in the system, call the place I got the order from, can't find out how much the bloodword is because it's through the hospital. Also spent about $300 so far and know nothing, have had nothing done.
All I got was some nurse trying to screen me for depression, when I told her that wasn't it, trying to be stealthy(which she wasn't) and screen me anyway.
I love how in the health care industry so many people don't give a fuck about you or what's wrong with you. At the end of the day they still get paid. Maybe they're over worked, maybe there's other shit, maybe they're tired of dealing with people, idk. I'm just saying that if I pay money, and extremely courteous as usual, and I simply want some help, I feel like I could expect some decent service.
I know they aren't doctor house, they aren't going to look at me from across the room, tell me whats wrong with me, make fun of me for something, then give me a shot that magically cure me. I'm realistic. At the same time, I'm still feeling like shit, it's having a shitty impact on my life, making it hard just to live normally let alone work full time and deal with all kinds of stuff.
I was feeling like shit, but manageable shit for a while. Kind of forgot a bit about how bad I had been feeling. Now it was getting increasingly shitty again and today it's just fucked. Hopefully by the start of 2016 I'll at least know what the fuck is wrong with me, and maybe have worked out some sort of plan for getting better, If I can get well and not be out several thousand dollars, that is also a plus. I just can't live like this though.
Maybe I'll start snorting flinstone vitamins and only drinking water I collect by hand from the tops of the most remote mountains. Ill set up some crystals around my bed and do naked yoga under the full moon.
Idk, this just sucks though.
That said, shout out to the Doctors on call guys where I was living in CO. They killed it. Cared about their job, legitimately cared about people, the job and the people were always first, everything else including the money seemed like an afterthought.

i completely agree man. and the fact that the NFL so strongly supports this makes it even that more obvious that the whole franchise is purely about profit gains. I mean fuck, they show more commercials than actual game play.
And breast cancer is so promotable because of the boobies and the color pink. And raising awareness for breast cancer does not step on any toes of the tv sponsors product. Why dont they raise awareness for something more serious? Like the deadliest disease out there, HEART DISEASE. Heart disease kills 5 times more women than men. Thats not even to mention what it does to its greatest demographic, MEN. And the sad part is that the main reason heart disease is so deadly because of a lack of awareness. But hey, raising awareness about working out, staying healthy and not eating chips, beer, candy and unhealthy food is not beneficial. Why? Because the chip, beer, candy and junk food companies sponsor damn near every NFL commercial.
anddddddd fed ex lost my skis.
I requested to pick them up because I'm not home consistently enough to trust it.
So I go in to the location that I picked, triple checked to make sure I was at the right place.
I get there and they're like we have no records, meanwhile I pull it up on my phone and it says its there. They confirmed I was at the right place.
They said it's not on the truck for delivery either. But they will "give me a call if they find it." Bitch this isn't hide and go fucking seek.
So this week is really shitty and I don't know what to do about anything and I think I should just go sleep for 13.5 hours.

Yup. It's prefect because it's something that people can get regardless of what they do. Obviously you can be predisposed to things, but for something like heart disease as you mentioned, people could do a lot by being even a little bit more healthy, but shitty food, beer, soda, chips, etc sponsor the games.
Also imagine the NFL running a month for prostate cancer awareness. I'm sure that would go over great. Basically just goes to show how bullshit the whole thing is.
Skip over diseases that aren't marketable even if they're preventable through lifestyle changes, or more likely to affect your general demographic.
Dedicate a full month to supposedly caring about breast cancer because that has nothing to do with selling products or trying to gain support and viewership from women. Market it all with a "we care so much!" "OMG BOOBIES!" and a nice pink color that everyone can get down with.

I think I told you before but move up to Canada man. Good park jobs, good healthcare and soon we will have all the legal weed.
On another note, fuck the ski industry! Fuck it. Fuck it so hard. Everybody is so fucking fake here. You know that episode of South Park where everybody smells their own farts and are so full of themselves. That's the fucking ski industry.
Ok so a background. I used to build parks for years. Drove cat and built shit right. Gave up seeing my family, moved out west, and worked crazy fucking hours. All I got for it was pushed out because I didn't fit the "skibro" culture. While I'm putting in double shifts at the mountain living off fucking peanuts the homies are off at the club doing coke.
Then I move to another mountain and build park there but then it's fucking politics. More fucking "skibros". More bullshit. Why can't skiing just be about creativity and fun? Why does it have to be about perception, and results, and fucking sponsors, and endless fucking edits.
Sorry for the long post.

I'm thinking about it man. I just don't have time for the run around trying to get healthy. This person can't help you but refers you to that person who can't help you, and refers you back to the original. Nobody calls you back ever. Before I just kind of gave up and said fuck it, I'll just keep working and I'll either get better naturally or just wait till it becomes a huge deal and I just pass out walking down the street or something.
Bummer that you got pushed out. I've had several friends that loved it at one point do the same thing. Want nothing to do with it. I'm honestly surprised I've made it as long as I have after some of my work experiences in the past.
If you ever give it another shot, hopefully it goes better, if not, hopefully you find something that give you that similar enjoyment without al the stress and bullshit.
The amount of weather men and women on my newsfeed is absolutely retarded. Stfu. We get it. It's 75 today and last year we had like 6 feet of snow. This kind of shit happens every year. You should fucking know this by now. Get your head out of your ass and pay the fuck attention and maybe you wouldn't be so surprised.

On the radio there was some awesome dude talking about people od'ing on heroin in NH. He was getting so excited about it.
People are shooting up here, dying here. "Tune in at 10 to find out which town has the most people dying."
Not even joking, dude said something like that. It was like a buzzfeed list. OMG AWESOME MY TOWN HAS MORE PEOPLE DYING! THATS SO COOL.
Fuck people like that. That's why I don't watch the news. It's for people to jerk off to bad shit. "Omg a school bus flew off a cliff? That's so awesome! I mean horrible, so horrible. I should post a facebook status about how sad it is"
I think people are genuinely disappointed if they don't have a tragedy to jerk it to and pretend to care about.
Then they start over dramatizing smaller stuff around them to give themselves the desired effect until their favorite drug, the evening news tragedy strikes again.
Nobody cares, about the news, what's happening in their town, events and shit, just skip that boring stuff and show me some videos of a shopping mall that collapsed killing a bunch of people, or a massive deadly pile up on the interstate. Entertain me with the deaths of other people!
Awesome!

Im so fucking frustrated. I have to take an art/music gen ed for school and everything that is somewhat interesting is reserved for intended majors only. Like Basic video, basic documentary, and basic filmmaking are all reserved for majors. Photography is 6 hours of class a week but only a 3 credit class..??? WTF is up with that?
So I look at music, theres like 4 music history classes, fuck that. There's a non-major music theory class. Hell yeah, I play piano and have a solid understanding of music theory as is. So I look up reviews, apparently intended majors who have been playing music throughout high school say the class is impossible. So fuck that. Its also 5 hours a week(7:30PM-10PM monday wednesday) sooooo fuck that lol.
I can't draw a god damn stick figure person for the life of me. And all the art classes are drawing and painting and shit. Kid you not, I seriously have no artistic ability whatsoever. Any digital arts class is reserved for majors too.
Whyyyyyy can't we have basic video classes for non-majors. Why are the music classes so god awful. Why are all these art classes scheduled for 5-6 hours per week but only worth 3 credits? holy shit this is actually impossible. what the fuck UB. what the fuck.

Looks like I am NOT going into work today. Need to wait 2 hours maybe 3 for my buddy to wake up so that I can send him to the store for pedialyte.
It's a good thing fall lasts extremely long at the mountain and I didn't have much to do. Also was going to get him in the system over at the mtn today, show him the rails, get him to help me move some shit, and do some welding.
I can say I am 100% NOT going to work today.
Holy jesus I just want to not feel like garbage right now instead of curled up in my room puking like the exorcist into my garbage.
It's like a self titled album, garbage by garbage.
This blowssssssss

Apparently my facebook new feed is nothing but people regurgitating the news, other posts, memes, and their shitty understanding of the world in general.
Also, people know about Paris, the news has been reporting on it. If you didn't post 84 things about it tomorrow, people would still know. Same with most of the other stuff you're posting.
Do these people realize how many of them their are? Idk if they're wanna be journalists or what but come on people. We don't need millions of people posting the same shit every fucking day.
I've said it before, facebook needs a word filter. I would probably add every word relating to sports like football, not because I hate it but because of people need to share a million of the same fucking posts about it. Same with words like Isis, Paris, muslims, Obama, and a bunch of others.
Half the time people post about some of these issues, they have no idea outside of some shitty not even correct facebook memes they read.
YOLO

Im going to start a college where you don't need to take bullshit pre-reqs like MAT990 and whatnot that just wastes time, and instead allows you focus in on classes that will actually benefit you in life and maybe even in a career-settings right off the bat. Honestly, you could get your degrees in 2 years or less and not have to waste thousands more on an extra two years because the first two were bullshit high school classes you're paying for.
IM SO ANGRY. SO SO ANGRY.
I DROPPED MY SKIS OFF AT THE SHOP YESTERDAY TO GET MY NEW SKIS & BINDINGS MOUNTED AND MY OLD ONES REMOUNTED AND THEY CHARGED ME OUT THE ASS AND ARE NOW SAYING I CAN'T PICK THEM UP UNTIL DECEMBER 10TH!!!! WTF WHAT COULD POSSIBLY TAKE YOU 3 WEEKS?! AND NOW IT'S SUPPOSED TO SNOW 1-2 FEET ON MONDAY AND I'M SO UPSET. AND I'M SUPPOSED TO GO TO RAILS TO RICHES ON DECEMBER 5TH AND MIGHT NOT HAVE THEM. WHAT THE FUCK
I've never actually cried over skis. FUCK THIS SHIT. I'm so fucking angry and sad. I'm probably missing opening day ):

The black lives matter protests in Minneapolis are backing the wrong case. Yes, an unarmed black man was shot. No, he was not shot execution style or was he sane in any way. Their cause is worthy but they need to stop thinking that everytime a black man gets shot by police it's a hate crime.
The story I've been hearing on the inside is that the guy beat his girlfriend half to death and kept trying to beat her while the paramedics were trying to take care of her. Then when the cops intervened he tried to fight them, he was just asking to be shot. Deservingly he did.
So some guy who beats his girlfriend senseless and decides to fight cops gets shot and that somehow turns into "Unarmed black man shot execution style." I swear, people will believe anything to feel like they need to be part of some fucking movement. The cops would have shot this guy if he was white.

This winter my plan was to work full time at the mountain, I told my boss I would work full time this year, and put in my schedule. Last night I go out to sleep at one of my friends houses and due to a last minute change of plans we head over to my ex's house to hang out there for the night. As my mom does every so often, she decides to track my iphone, sees that instead of being where I said I was going to be, I was hanging out with my ex. She then drives by at 4 in the morning to make sure that's where I actually was (which is an entire half hour away from her house), went through my car and stole my cigs, then when I get home she tells me that she doesn't trust me enough to live in her house by myself for a couple months (even though she would be there every weekend), and tells me to email my boss telling him I can't work this winter.

For future reference, it's usually good to figure those things out before you leave the shop so you can avoid situations like this. I'd go in, tell them that you need them by Monday and if they won't mount them ASAP ask for your shit and go to another shop. I'm hoping you didn't pay them upfront though.
13554593:K-Dot. said:
Yeah okay I got there and said I needed them mounted and they said no problem as if they could do it that day. Dude goes to the back and says they can't finish it today can we pick them up "later this week." Since it was tuesday I figured the max time was till Friday... No big deal.
Go to pay because they make you pay up front. And what was supposed to be $75 with 50% off because of my job, was now 115 with 15% off. THEN AFTER I PAID THEY SAID DECEMBER FUCKING 10TH. So I'm pissed but too much of a little bitch to do anything about it so whatever.
13554603:Mingg said:
I would go back asap and be like yo, yo said you could mount them by the end of the week. I understand you're busy, maybe that wasn't realistic, but I need them by the 4th, if you can't do that I want my skis and money back so I can take them to a shop that will.
Idk. I feel like if you don't say anything you might not even get them buy the 10th.

Go back and ask for a refund. $100 for a mount is ridiculous first off, especially if it isn't timely. You're being majorly ripped off. Don't be a pushover, stand up for yourself. Go get your shit, it's your money that you worked for, treat it as such

Lame. I would really go in and pick up your skis and get your money back. They have to give you a refund if they haven't done the work yet. Also going in there might just get them to do the work now since it doesn't really take much time to mount skis. I got the run around once from Christy Sports which is a big store in Boulder CO. I just wanted a hot wax and was at my in-laws so I called ahead and they said they could do it the next day. I dropped the skis off called the middle of the next day and they said they didn't know what day they would be done. I asked him to check with the shop manager and to just let me know what he found out when I got down there to pick up my skis making it clear that I was picking up my skis that afternoon because I was leaving the next morning for Winter Park. When I got down there the guys had finished my skis and were waxing my wife's.
How does this shop know you don't have a rail jam this weekend?

Seems very unlikely that lifts will turn tomorrow. I took the day off and everything. Timberline changed their message from suggesting that a few lifts would turn tomorrow to saying that they might just open the bunny hill for a preview on Saturday. Temping to plan a hike instead of going to bluegrass and micros tonight.
People who try to tell you what to do to "help you" aka they just want to feel important and boss somebody around.
Also when they tell you information that you know is complete bullshit and try to argue with you about a fact you can prove.
Idk. With how sick I've been I'm surprised I've stayed standing. Going to work has been a bitch. I don't need other peoples bullshit all up in my space. Let me stay in my own zone and get my work done.
I blew up on the guy a bit today and told him to fuck off, pretty nicely imo but jesus. Some people just don't get it.
