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.  :)

i switched to a smith variant this year because my old helmet was over 5 years old and i didnt trust it to take impacts and save my brain.  i miss the longer visor my old helmet had, because the smith variant does allow trees to slap me in the face.  and i dont want to ruin my beautiful visage.

My visor on my Giro nine mx saved my face and my goggles today from certain pain/destruction when I skied right into a thick branch.  Hardly moved and didn't see it coming.  I really want the variant, but I can totally see what you mean by it.

my first helmet's visor was attached via duct tape.  might end up doing the same with my variant.  also snow gets on my goggles when its chucking now.  yet another plus for big visor.  does it outweigh the ability to put your goggles up?  hmmmmmm.

The old hat visor is and always will be the best way to deflect branches. I swear by that thing and feel naked without it.

I was just at a bar with some friends. Some weird friend of a friend was totally wasted, and with some dude in a wheelchair actually at the bar outside smoking a cigg shouts "People in wheelchairs, FUCK THEM ALREADY."

Everyone looked horrified. I was trying so hard not to laugh.

Finally am starting to get more of this writing stuff in a form that I like, and that people can relate to. I've also been writing most everyday, which feels good.

Tonight's effort:

Crevasses


cluttered as the dresser is
her dried roses stand out in the gloom of
dim midnight that filters past the door
Valentine’s day was a while back, collecting dust while they
become brittle and crack

he’ll notice the bond between become similar
to old yellow wood glue
reminded of musty closets of outdated newspapers
information that once meant something,
same way the roses did, same amber piss stained glow
but is old news now, jaundiced and varicose with age

water vapor hangs in the air to taunt at gravity
a concentration gradient pulled it from the roses,
from their skin,
from the sweat while they explored meaning between bedsheets
sucked their bond hard and inflexible, dry like
lips near so much salt water
roses are lumber now, hardened as hearts do
set into set and stanzaic forms
and their bond is shivered with cracks of the ice floes

love is like a red, bled, rose
parched and wanting fulfillment of novelty
splash of exhilaration
that river stopped running before Valentine’s day
even if the water returns
roses swell, and vases crack

Nice I'm looking to pick up a 22. The real question is..........Did you get semi-auto??????

I think I'm gonna buy an old school used one though.


Stoked on finishing the last growler of magic hat from my trip 2 weeks ago. That makes it 7 growlers I own now from that place, it looks quite classy all in a row over the cabinets. It's like my shrine to magic hat :)

Josh is the fucking lincoln master. I watched him stomp one over waterfalls on Whistler, I've never seen anyone else attempt a lincoln off it. Dude lincolns everything. 80 feet though? What the fuck just happened.

Also, I failed to mention that the sun is going to be shining for the next 4 or 5 days straight, with highs in the mid-40s in the valleys.

Should be real nice.

I officially have all of my student loans paid off (well, until I end up taking out more for grad school), and my credit is finally good again! I'm NEVER letting my credit/debit cards out of my sight again.

Anddd I now have a second job! I'm working for the state as a forensic technician and the feds as a lab tech slash assistant research biologist. Money money money plus full benefits, fuck yeah!!!

My family and I are going to a therapist who happens to be the woman I went to in high school for the issues with my dad and shit. I really didn't want to go back then, so I refused to work well with her, but I'm really excited to be seeing her now. My family and I have a lot of rebuilding to do, and I'm soon having individual sessions with her so I can finally figure out ways to cope with a number of the traumatic things I've been through over the years.

And finally, I have surgery tomorrow to begin my road to recovery/treatment. Yay. :)

Good luck!


Stoked because I just had one of the most ridiculous nights ever.  We went to Old Chicago and I was able to scam two free pitchers with the birthday thing, and four of us ended up drinking a pitcher each and eating for under $20.  So I was kind of drunk at that point, and we went to a bar to go shoot some pool.  Somehow, I just ended up with a full drink in my hand all the way up until closing without paying for a single one, which was fucking awesome.  A good friend of mine then introduced me to her 23-year-old mostly lesbian friend who apparently thinks I am really, really, ridiculously good-looking (she also listens to slayer and pantera).  So....yeah.  I now think all of my girl problems stem from hanging out with straight girls, because she is rad.  We're going to a show tonight, so I have a feeling things may somehow get more interesting if that is possible.  Then this morning we had a breakfast of bloody maries with biscuits and gravy, then drank beer and shot pool until I had to go to class drunk at 3.  Repeat tonight?  I just got summoned, so I think so!

stoked to show up to take photos of a hockey tournament, and instead of taking pictures of 8-15 yr old kids, I'm shooting the national finals of women's college hockey.....

long story short I'm surrounded by a large percentage of hot, athletic chicks that are my age. all weekend. not often do the athletes i take photos of chill at our photo booth drinking beers...... a couple of who want a guided tour of debauchery tomorrow night, fingers crossed that happens, haha!
