Ya Boy is Back!

So I just came back from the sickest session ive had in my whole life. Turns out Big Bear was honoring season passes from other resorts! You still had to pay like $20 but thats still a hell of a lot cheaper than $51. So me and Eric leave my house at 6:30 AM get there around 7:45 AM before the mountain is open. We were the only ones there besides the workers. It was so dead, there was no one else there. So we eat a quick breakfast grab our tickets and then head onto the lifts. There was still plenty of coverage and plenty of terrain features to go buck wild on. Small and medium jumps, boxes, flat tables, benches, skate rails, rainbow boxes you name it they had it and from the get go I just started throwing down. Ive had a lot of built up anger and frustration lately so I just took it out on the mountain. I even hit these consecutive jumps back to back. They were fucking huge! The biggest jumps I think that ive ever attempted. I was in the air so long I felt like I was flying. I wouldve hit them back to back to back but after I hit the first two, I didn't really speed check as I approached the third one. As soon as I popped off the kicker face I knew I would overshoot it. I was in the air for what felt like eternity and noticed that I started to lean forward. I was going to eat shit so I quickly braced myself for a pretty big spill. I turned my body at the last second so I could fall on my ass (the part of my body with the most padding haha) I slammed down hard and my head whiplashed into the snow with great force. Luckily I was wearing my helmet. That thing has saved my life numerous times. So kids, WEAR A HELMET! After that fall I chilled for about 10 minutes and was back up again making Bear Mountain my bitch. My motto is once you have 1 big fall, your warmed up and ready to go. It started to get slushy around noon so me and Eric hightailed it out of there. Overall, it was one of the most intense, rewarding, scary, and ultimately funnest days ive had in a long time. My body is trashed and took a good beating today but im planning on returning tommorow with Ibay. Season in So Cal is officially coming to a close. Thank you snowboarding for providing me with an escape snow many times this season from the pressures and problems of my life. Till we meet again in 6 months my dear. Peace

I'm Yours

So lately I cant seem to get this song out of my head. I REALLY want a Ukelele. I want to learn how to play it as well as this guy. And I want to be able to play this song for you. =)

This is the First Day of My Life

This is the first day of my life
Swear I was born right in the doorway
I went out in the rain, suddenly everything changed
They're spreading blankets on the beach
Yours is the first face that I saw
I think I was blind before I met you
Now I don't know where I am, don't know where I've been
But I know where I want to go

And so I thought I'd let you know
That these things take forever, I especially am slow
But I realized that I need you
And I wondered if I could come home

Remember the time you drove all night
Just to meet me in the morning
And I thought it was strange, you said everything changed
You felt as if you'd just woke up

And you said, "This is the first day of my life.
I'm glad I didn't die before I met you.
But, now I don't care, I could go anywhere with you
And I'd probably be happy."

So if you wanna be with me
With these things there's no telling
We'll just have to wait and see
But I'd rather be working for a paycheck
Than waiting to win the lottery

Besides, maybe this time it's different
I mean I really think you like me

Where the Wild Things Are

Every elementary school classroom had this book on its shelves. It was and still is one of my favorite short stories. Anyways, as many of you know they are turning it into a movie. I can't wait. For those of you who are more visually inclined, heres some screen shots of the upcoming motion picture.
