With permission, I have taken this idea from another cult. I think it would be great here.

This is a thread to post what you are totally stoked on. Share with us your happiness.  :)

Spanish paper is going way easier than I could have dreamed. Here's a bit of introduction, I'm just starting to lay out my thesis:

    El mundo cambiando de los protagonistas en El túnel y Don segundo sombra refleja la argentina de los autores. La modernización de Argentina causa cambios en la sociedades, y los mundos de los libros refleja las reacciones de los autores a los cambios en el mundo alrededor. Para Ricardo Guiraldes, la urbanización y modernización del país causan mucho daño al modo de vida del gaucho. En Don Segundo Sombra, él pinta el mundo del gaucho en una  luz romántica y  idealista para salvar y recordar un modo de vida que está desapareciendo. Los gaucho no eran hombres de mucho valor, ni de maneras civiles, pero representan un modo de vida en la pampa de argentina, y por eso significan algo importante del pasado del país, que solo vive ahora en las paginas de Don Segundo Sombra. Para Guiraldes, el comienzo de la modernización demuestra la destrucción del modo de vivir del gaucho. En vez de tierra libre, hay cartas de identificación y alambradas que limiten el espacio físico de la pampa, y significan las limitaciones del nuevo mundo para el gaucho.
    Los problemas con la modernización en El túnel vienen de las consecuencias de la dependencia en la razón para entender y resolver las crisis en la vida de Juan Pablo. El autor, Ernesto Sábato, se daba cuenta de las consecuencias de vivir una existencia que no entiende nada que la razón. El túnel es un comentario en el camino que la sociedad ha escogido. Juan Pablo no entiende el amor, no puede comunicar con los otros, y mata a la sola persona que se entiende. Sábato usa los problemas de Juan Pablo, sus  monólogos introspectivos, y  los resultados de las acciones para mostrar los afectos de la razón pura a los pensamientos de la sociedad. Guiraldes teme que los gauchos y la cultura que simbolizan van a desaparecer mientras el mundo moderno crece. Por Sábato, está asustado del efecto de la razón pura en la sociedad que ha aparecido.
    Las motivaciones de los autores son muy importantes, pero sus sujetos tienen muchos limitaciones.

crean la imaginería que usan en sus obras. Guiraldes, un hombre muy culto y educado, con mucho educación, escribe

so fucking stoked to be in Tahoe...
   arrive Monday night, chill with cousin and friend, hot tub.
   Tuesday go pick up my season pass at North Star, ride, meet up with friends from south lake, go to Trivia night and get hammered.
    Wednesday rode North * again, then went to Taco Night, yummm, more hot tubing. now i'm going to bed to wake up for Yoga and then more skiing!

NOW for the only bit of not stoked... but it's a big one... NO FUCKING SNOW. Seriously we're freaking out, although we're suppose to get some this weekend, it better be a  big dump of epic proportions.

Meh, thread is amusing at best. I could make it much more exciting, but will hold back. (It would involve ripping on that douche of a character EastAR5)

Screw all you guys and your awesome weather. Totally bummed that I can't make it to the NS party at jay this weekend.

If I had a more reliable vehicle right now I would for sure blow off the gf and her upscale work xmas party for skiing.

Have fun fellas. Bangor I'm relying on you to provide those that can't go with some outstanding pow photos, no pressure or anything.

The new lady friend is fucking amazing in bed. Always something to be stoked on. Especially after the last one was a bit of a dud in that department.

Also stoked on snow! Or coming snow. If it dumps, I might have to make the trek down yankee way to Baker to join the mini-on3p party on Sunday.
