The Stoked Thread

snowed 50cm at sunshine last night, about the same expected today and overnight. and it's still cold, -12 tomorrow. POW DAY!!!!!!!!

plus I have a free place in banff tomorrow night. POW WEEKEND! although this isn't how I envisioned my spring skiing, I'm definitely not going to complain!
 
Last night I went to the bar I used to be a regular at until I was told not to come back for a while. Just went to play some pool and get a bite to eat at about 7:00ish. The bouncer came up and told me that I couldn't go for a while because Alcoholic Beverage Control or whatever it is called was in town and crackin' down. Now I am welcome to come back and rage as long as I have my fake ID on me. WORD! Stoked.
 
Simma dah nah

Im stoked cauase I got a dank ass bag of green today!!! Someone's gonna sleep well tonight muhahaha
 
Stoked that my good buddy Ryno sat down at his computer and helped this n00b put her board together. Took it out, and I gotta say, I'm totally in love. It's so fucking awesome.
 
^ whats wrong? my directions werent good enough for you? haha JOKES!

so whats it like?

i want to try this now. especially after seeing your litle video there ryno...im intrigued. also i have so many long hills all over albany that i could play on.
 
No, I haven't longboarded before. But being a long time snowboarder, I figured it would be the perfect off season sport. I'll definitely bring it up to Albany when I come Le. I bet there are better places to take it then where I am. Right now I'm just outside my place going back and forth on the streets. I even had some onlookers! Haha.
 
winter is definitely coming yay! its fricken freezing outside (and inside)

haha I went for a skate last night, first time in ages, went down to the shop to get mixers for my vodka n redbull for jager bombs. the last jager bomb I did had 2 shots of vodka mixed with redbull to make it more potent. that shit had some kick haha. I went back to the shop 45min later pissed off my nut to get food on hte way to my mates.. good times!
 
The whole Hudson Valley area is sweet for boarding, I wish I was home for some of the hills back there.

Rochester's pretty flat, but a couple of us have been taking to the parking garages as of late, it's pretty sweet!

Next up is Rt. 28A or whichever one from Hunter --> Catskill.........

(not) haha.

Anyway, Ryan, have you ever been to the board meetings I've seen in Toronto? I'm trying to see if I can get out to one of those, I've seen some of the Youtube vids and they look like a blast and a half!

Anyway, stoked on sunny days!!!
 
ok, i was kinda waiting a few days to write about this, but i am STOKED. ok, so if you read my emo posts in the "not-stoked thread", you're aware that i was dumped by my off-and-on gf of 4 years, a girl i was, literally, months away from proposing to. i also left college at the end of last semester, so i'm living alone in Petoskey, MI- 3 1/2 hrs from the NMU campus i once called home and the only people i really consider friends (besides you homos). so, i was dumped, emotionally a mess, and didn't really have any good friends around to help me take my mind off the shittiness.

i've also been around the block enough to know that my initial, almost reflexive reaction was going to be to try to rebound. you know, get hammered, talk myself into thinking the fat girl at the bar has a cute face and big tits, and take her home to fuck her... then i'll wake up the next morning and want to slit my wrists. well, with that in mind, i've been approaching this girl with extreme caution. well, that and the fact that she's 18 (i turn 22 on tuesday), has a boyfriend (details), and the fact that she's a virgin. yes, she's an 18-year-old blonde punk virgin and i'm REALLY into her. well, we're really into each other. i'll spare you guys the mushy details, but we click super well, have very complimentary personalities, and, while i'm a freak in bed, this girl fuckin blows my mind AND she's still a virgin (iow, i can't wait to see what she's like when we fuck).

now, yeah, i'm moving to Vegas in about a month. she's aware of this and definitely doesn't like the idea of it, but we aren't in or looking for a serious relationship with each other (remember, she still has a "boyfriend"... whatever, they've been dating for two weeks and she seems really unhappy with him- shit don't count in my book), so it's not really a big deal. the age difference doesn't bother me too much. initially i was like "damn, she's younger than my little brother", but i honestly have to give it to her- she's actually quite mature. she's also hella crazy, which is right up my alley, but what's REALLY rad is that as nuts as she is when we're hanging out with other people, i can tell she totally lets down her gaurd and relaxes when we're alone. to quote Paris, THAT'S HOT.

so, before anyone starts warning me not to fuck a virgin (she wouldn't be the first), telling me not to get into any kind of relationship with someone right before i move, or that she's a little young, I'M REALLY STOKED ON THIS GIRL. so feel free to warn away about the perils of dealing with young virgins, but i'm on cloud 9, biatch.
 
haha awesome cf! she sounds pretty fuckin cool

i say go for it. seriously whats the worst that could happen?
 
It is 84 degrees, sunny, gentle breeze, and I'm meeting a buddy at 3:30 for a killer spring ride.

Fucking yes.
 
I just got an envelope in the mail that had my tickets for Opeth in it, which is fucking awesome!

More stoke coming in a couple hours when I finish this pain in the ass architecture model.
 
I still need to finish the base and add a north arrow, but this is it! Now I just have a detail model and about three million drawings to do by presentation time.

I have to start a model really soon, actualy two, a basic one on site, and a larger more detailed one of just the house, almost all of my drawings are done, I just have to finish a cross section, and another perspective. But.....

I will be working with one of the best arch model makers in the world, which is sweet. going to be the best model ever made for a high school arch class. This guy is seriusly amazing, made the model of safeco field with a working roof, and every light (including bath rooms, and vending machines) and every seat #.

all he does is make models for people.

On another stoke note, I skied deep powder on april 19th with Bryce Phillips, and might end up doing so again tomorrow. (with a few mandatory breaks given the date)
 
Haha, tell me about it! I'll have a total of six straight lines in each elevation. Looks like me and the light table are going to have some more quality time together tomorrow.
 
AIDS dude, AIDS. HIV is much more prevalent in the male homosexual community. Transmission is also much more likely. Blood is the best fluid to transfer HIV and there is often a little blood during male anal sex (so I've heard) even if you can't see it because it's inside the bumhole.

Plus, you can't abort AIDS!
 
she's not a dude, trust me, and she doesn't have the hiv, so pregnancy is certainly the worst possible thing that could happen. triple wrappin that shit. (don't even start with me about that...)

STOKED FOR 420!!! i've been high since 9am and plan on staying stoned until i pass out tonight. business as usual.
 
Today kicked some serious ass.

I woke about at 730, got all of my gear, snagged some much needed java, ran down to my office to get my lift tickets and I was on my way to Gore to ski my last day of the season.

I had decided on the way up that I was going sell my other 3 tickets if I could....well I did, for $20 a piece! So I made out nicely on that deal. Gas and snacks were covered..muhahah gotta have snacks on 420!

The snow at Gore was fabulous! I was really surprised by the coverage they had. Did quite a few bump runs....bad idea. Then I found this sweet "jump" one of the trails and thought it would be kick ass idea to do a 180 off it. I did and landed it fine until I went right into a giant river of water switch and ate shit. Soaked and covered in mud. Yup. I was looking HOT after that one. Probably did 4 more runs after that incident and called it a day. My legs want to disown me right now.

Oh and listen to this rightousness....I got in the gangola at one point and realized one of my ear buds little rubbery thing was missing. There was no way it was going to stay in my ear without it. So here I am bouncing out to tunes with one thing in my ear. It was cool but just not the same so was I kinda bumming about it. Anyways I finish that run and head back to the gangola, pop in and pack up a nice bp of some dank shit....just chillin scoping out the scenery and then I look down at the ground of the gangola for no particular reason and low and behold theres the little rubbery thing for my headphones. Out of all of the gangolas..maybe 50, I got back into the same one I took up. What are the chances of that?

 
Yeah I knowwww, but since I'm not working at Belleayre anymore, I gotta keep my shifts at the restaurant. I've come to accept that my season is done...
 
Late season PH ski shralp sessions jea jea!

I am driving up into the "highlands"... logging roads through the mellow mountains up here. They still have two meters of snow or so up there. I'll bring a shovel and make a little jump. I wish I still had my rails.
 
Stoked that its going to be 25 degrees again for the 4th day in a row. Saturday was an afternoon of paddling, then off to the hill for some drunken skiing and end of season party. Same great tailgating, bbq and off to the bar. chilled sunday and slept in for the first time in forever, breakfast in the backyard in the sun then chilled at the wave for a few hours. Boats are on the roof of the truck and ready to do it again today. Summer is here and its only april!
 
Fucking word.

Biked 10 mles of singletrack Saturday, made nothing but dust. It was 83 degrees out. The 2 creek crossings with the cold water felt so good to splash through.

Chilled yesterday and did the ride again today. About 70 degrees and sunshine, and have the same plan for tomorrow morning.

Beyond epic string of days lately.
 
Double word.

The trees haven't even bloomed yet! The water temps should change fast if this keeps up. It definitely came way fast this year.
 
Gonna try to get one more day of skiing in before the season is officially over......time to cash in my bucket-o-change!
