This is a good Youtube video. They say its the history of Snowboarding in 2 minutes flat although it runs for 2 minutes 10 seconds

 

This song by Calvin Harris - Acceptable in the 80s is a cool tune and makes fun of how things used to be in the 80's.

 

Now this kind of works the other ways in highlighting how bad things have got with things being steralised and made safe. I mean as a kid its all about putting things in your mouth to find out if it tastes good; toys, dirt all of it building up you immune system. Now though its all about making sure things are clean and no bacteria around which is giving us a generation of kids without immune systems. I mean look at the boom in peanut allergies, never existed back in the 80's but now everyone and their cat seems to have it.

Yeah great, things look clean and are bacteria free but at what cost to peoples long term health?

Just a short one for anyone that needs a laugh or cheering up today. Look up Lee Evans on Youtube (non-UK residents will probably know him from films like 5th Element and Mouse Trap), he is the only guy that ever makes me laugh out loud and enough to start crying.

 

Here are some of his:

Luckily I've seen him Live in Sheffield, great performance. So if you ever get the chance go see him.

Ever have one of those days where nothing seems to go right? Well I think I'm on a whole month of those. Good to get them out of the way in one go I guess.

First my cars windscreen wipers stopped working on the way to work whilst doing 70mph down the M25 and rain coming down and spray coming up from the road.

Then I get a whole load of work dumped on me and told it needs to be done by Friday.

 

Luckily I get to go to the mountains in just under two weeks so at least I have something to keep me sane although I'm a bit out of practise so I think I need to do a quick refresher session at Xscape (http://www.xscape.co.uk) at MK just to get my bearings back again.

Probably the biggest question of all time to ever cross peoples minds. Why are we here and whats the meaning of it all. Are we a disease on the planet? Do we have anymore purpose than a rat, lion, dog, cat, tree?

Places like Wikipedia have people giving their views - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meaning_of_life

However all these ideas are looking too deeply into what the actual meaning of life is. So what is the meaning of life? Simple... To be happy.

Nothing more, nothing less and anyone who tells you otherwise is telling lies. So keep on Snowboarding and enjoy it while you can, after all its makes you happy so indeed Snowboarding is the meaning of life also

Having the ability to blog is all good and adds features to a site but lets face it, what do you blog about without coming across as an ego maniac or a sad life with nothing better to do than to tell the Internet about your life even though they don't really care and are probably too bored to even read it all.

I mean I could tell you all about myself, who I am, what I do for a living, what my favourite food is and what pets I have but would you really care? I don't think people would. After all the important thing is that we are all snowboarders and thats why we come here... isn't it?

If you have read this far then you must have been bored or forgot what you were planning to do today and became distracted by the pattern of the letters on screen. Either way we have both just lost the time it took to write/read this and I don't give refunds.
