My Mom Kicked Me Out

Relatives from Australia came over to visit before they head to SF then Hawaii so my mom kicked her kids and the dogs out of the house for no apparently reason because they didn't even sleep in my room and they were actually excited to see my dogs.  My mom acts as if my relatives from Australia are more rich and glamorous than royalty and affluent people, which I guess they can be considering how easy it is to be rich in Australia.  Apparently you can have a family of 4 and make 80 grand a year and still be on welfare but their welfare is no joke either because they get 4 to 6 grand a month for welfare.  It pays to be poor!  So obviously most of my relatives in Australia are retired at such an early age and their kids are mostly lawyers or pharmacists.  They may be rich as hell but they suck at giving presents, not even a shirt!  Another wave of Australian relatives are coming on Friday so once again my mom is probably going to kick us out again.  I do admit their Vietnamese accent is pretty weird.

Back From Seattle

It is just good to be back in Cali!  Sure, it didn't rain while I was in Seattle which was actually too bad because that means no fresh snow to board on so that kind of sucked.  Although the snow wasn't too bad but still could of been better because it was pretty compact and the trails were horrible especially at Crystal Mountain mainly because to be able to have a decent length run, you must take multiple lifts.  Stevens Pass was better but at the same time the trails were also pretty short.  I boarded 3 out of the 5 days that I was in Seattle so I'm fine with that!  I did get one day to myself to drive around and explore Seattle or more like the state of Washington.  Car and I took the ferry for the first time so that was kind of interesting although the roads were just horrible in Washington.  The streets were all so disorganized and curved every few yards and there was a lack of sidewalks as well.  Everything just felt like such a small town feeling although Seattle is suppose to be a tech mecca for the young but all I saw were old retirement folks and ghetto kids.  I just think they need to knock everything down and restructure everything because all the twist and turns is just a waste of space.  Anyways, I can't believe how many times I went boarding this season because for the past 2 years my average has been 4 times a season but so far I have gone boarding 5 times already and 2 more times to go!

Tell Your Kids To Get Back Into Your Womb

Drama, drama, drama!  It just peeves me to know that some families are so dysfunctional and crazy!  My older brother's friend's family just lost their house all because of the mom's dumb boyfriend, who decided to not pay the bills anymore without telling anyone.  So the story is they bought the house 10 years ago in his name only and apparently he's younger than her and has a gambling problem.  About 2 years ago, he secretly pulled out over 200k out of the house and probably used it all up gambling.  About a few months ago, his personality started to change and complained about money and how the kids needs to get jobs.  Finally the bank came with an eviction letter and that's when everyone knew what had happened and dude everyone was pissed because by that time it was too late to do anything about it since the bank already sold the house and it's not like they didn't have the money to pay it all.  You can say it was a cruel way to break up because there goes all the years of paying off the house.  It's the freaking boyfriend's fault that this is all happening but 4 out of 5 of her kids are blaming her because they're all retarded.  My brother's friend is the oldest and he knows what's happening and is trying to hold his family together but they're just all too crazy and wants to beat the crap out of the boyfriend.  The eldest sister who I went to high school with left home after high school with her boyfriend and is recently married.  Her boyfriend being the youngest in his family, his mom bought them a house in San Jose or whatever so he can live near her so that's where they went.  She hardly calls her mom but when she does all she does is brag about how much money they have and yet knowing that her family is going to be on the streets she refuses to help because they're planning on buying a second house which just might be from their own hard work this time.  Talk about being an ungrateful child.  The second oldest daughter is just plain crazy and left home after high school and moved with her boyfriend to Texas until he went to prison and will stay there for a very long time.  She came back and did nothing but blame the mom so the brother got so mad and was about to beat her ass so she left and went back to Texas the next day.  The youngest daughter who went to school with my little brother turned lesbo and left home after high school to be with her girlfriend in Capital Hill in Washington.  She's never coming back and of course blames the mom for what's going on too.  The youngest son who is the only son of the mom's boyfriend which is why he was the only kid that he cared about out of all of them is so spoiled and in his own world that he blames the mom for everything.  This is why I don't want kids because you can give them the world and they can give you complete crap.  Wouldn't it just be easy to just shove them back in your womb like a return if you're not satisfied with them?  Stupid kids.

Anywho, on a less angry note, I can't wait to go boarding again this season!  The storms this year is just so great!  I wished I was a kid when I first boarded because it's so much easier to learn as a kid.  The reason is because your board is so small so it's light and you move slow.  My little nephew and niece can do black diamond with ease.  Plus, since you're so short you are not afraid to fall and hurt yourself but when you're older you are cautious because breaking a bone will mean no work so no play.  My brother's friend just broke his wrist and hurt his tailbone while trying a jump, whereas one of my cousin hurt her tailbone because a skier ran her over haha.  Although I wanted to slap this stupid girl for her dumb comment last time at Mt High.  Her friends were saying how it's a good idea to wear a helmet for safety but she was like who cares so they said she'll care when she goes to the hospital and her response was who cares because it's not like she's going to pay for it so her friends responded with but her parents will.  It's important to think of safety because you never know especially when you're speeding down and someone runs into you.  Anyways, this noob video can make anyone's day but then again any video with anyone getting hurt or making a complete fool of themselves is hilarious.

Move Out of the Way Bitch!

I hate it when people freaking loiter or sit around in front of the lift where you get off from the chair lift because they are in the freaking damn way!  If you fall down then move your ass out of the way or get run over!  It's simple as that.  People need room to board down a little after getting off the chair.  Freaking dumb nubs.  I didn't get any bruises from attempting any jumps on the ramps but I did get some pretty bad bruises from the nubcakes standing in the way in front of the lifts unloading area because of them I fell down on my bindings which freaking hurts.  I have a bad one of my right shin and a really bad one on the back of my right thigh.  It's still not as bad as the other bruise that I got on the back of my thigh from Mammoth but still bad enough.  So with that being said, move out of the damn way!

Remember playing that when you were young?

Returning to Mt High After 10 Years

The first time I ever went snowboarding was at Mt High and it was pretty much crap.  Finally after so many years, I finally went back and will probably never ever go back there ever again.  The parking was so insane because there's hardly any parking spaces and the snow plow man didn't plow enough snow so you can park on the side of the highway.  So on Saturday, we left at 7 AM and a 30 minute drive to the resort turned out to be 4 hours because it was just that packed especially since they had fresh powder snow!  After we spent the time trying to get up there and digging snow out from under the car and trying to get unstuck from the snow, my brothers decided to just give up and head back...minutes later my friend texted me that they opened new spots to park.  God damn it!  So we tried again on Sunday and this time left at 6 AM and even then the first park's parking lot was already full.  The fresh powder snow was all gone so it was just compact powder which was okay but I wanted to try doing jumps and fresh powder would have been a great cushion.  Although Sunday was less crowded, it was still too crowded for my taste because I am used to less people and way bigger resorts.  I did see some interesting things there though but not enough to ever want to come back for more.  I saw a guy in a trench coat with a matching fedora hat hitting the slopes, a boarder wearing boxing gloves, a midget boarding, the most amount of black people on the slopes ever, random jerks throwing snowballs at random people passing by, and a ghetto trailer trash fight, which was pretty pathetic because they were beating up on much younger kids and hitting from behind the back.  I did catch the fight on film so I will post that some other time.  I did try doing jumps but ate it a few times because it was so crowded that people just get in your damn way.  Mt High people just don't have any courtesy.  Random people hit my board so many times and didn't even give a heads up or a simple sorry.  I will never go boarding alongside Walmart shoppers again, they're just too damn ghetto.

Squirtle!
