Road trips
With the lack of snow on the Island this last month we were getting a little too antsy to sit around so we headed out on holiday road. First we went out to Banff and hit up Sunshine Village. It was my first time out to the rockies and it was awesome! The weather was perfect; sunny and cold and we got lots of killer pics and footage for our new movie project. We'll definitely be going back again. Thanks a lot to Doug Firby for the great hospitality. www.skibanff.com

Patrick Kitto enjoying the cold smoke out in Banff. Mmm Mmm good

When we got home there was still not very much snow so we packed up some clean undies and headed out again, this time to Whistler. Whistler is always wicked and this trip was no exception. We shredded the opening day of Blackcomb and then Whistler the next day and it rocked ( my board and my mind ) haha. Early season conditions joke... Thanks to Ryan Proctor for hooking us up. www.whistlerblackcomb.com

Myles col' kickin' it with his favourite run on Blackcomb behind him: the Sudan Couloir

When we got home from Whistler, guess what? Still not that much snow. So we packed up some more clean undies and headed out again, this time to Golden. Now if you've been to Kicking Horse you know it's rad. Steep, deep and gnarly. We had a wicked time there until the third day when the temperatures were a cool -28 in the hills and our nostrils were sticking together when we went outdoors. We all looked like Michael Jackson with our noses frozen closed so we bundled our Vancouver Island butts back into the truck, cranked the heat and headed back west. Thanks to Jordan Petrovics for the hook up.

Matty, Joe and our main man Eric. "Close the damn door, it's cold!" Thanks to Eric for setting us up so good. You rule Rolston!

Matt Trigg riding some deep, cold stuff with Ole in the background filming. Trigger kind of looks like Darth Vader coming out of there.

Back Home
Now don't get me wrong, we've had a few good days of hiking around here. We've been noboarding up the hill quite a bit and even hitting some urban stuff in town with the cold temperatures.

No bindings? No problem... Ole loves noboarding. photo by Patrick Kitto

What is the hardest thing about Snowboarding the first day of the year?  Putting down the board and taking pictures. The mood was epic on the afternoon of the 11th, boards and shovels in hand we embarked on a journey that would bring friends of all types and styles together.  While most kids were playing video games and sleeping in we were playing in the snow that friday nights storm left for us.  Matty McInnis, Chris Bartowski and I headed up there around 11 and met up with the heavy hitting crew including Brandon Cocard, Nick Visconti, Joshua Parker, Niki, Brandon Dury, Who, Brandon Hays, Andrew Brewer and RV. Check out these photos from our long trip to our patch somewhere above the greater Reno/Carson City area.

All these songs and poems mean alot to me, i wrote them throughout the years, and everyone is my inspiration, friends, family, life, how i feel, what i go or have gone through i express it from my writing! Its only the first draft of them, i dont really have the time to work on them properly, Im going to get a acoustic guitar soon so i can start learning then hopefully when im ready perform them !
music and song writing is like my therapy, when ever something tragic happens I write it down, and when I write a poem or song out of it, it makes me think of the situation in a positive way and seeing it down on paper into something amazing rather then sulk about it for days on end! I dont know what I would do without my music! If people only knew how much they inspire me to write!

I need your opinions people ..bad, good? any improvements?..all comments are welcome..negative and positive!



Caught Up

You're so amazing, you're in a band
strumming a guitar, the screaming fans

You feel alive standing on stage, lights on you, you're ready to play

Your caught up in the music
Your caught up with the fame
Your surrounded in that moment feeling no shame

You sing your heart out, you gave me yours
Don't want you to forget who I am, your girlfriend your life your whole life plan
I love you I need you don't get caught up in the band

Your caught up in the music
Your caught up in the fame
Here I am wondering if you will ever be the same

Your so talented your voice, your scene
making money and following your dream
You feel the energy I feel pain hoping that someday everything will be okay

You told me you love me, you told me I'm your world I feel the same caught up in a fantasy world

Don't get caught up with your music, the fame and all
Don't get caught up with your fans, ill start to fall

For every song that you sing remember who you are for every word of support I have given you my baby is a star
Get caught up in your dreams
Get caught up with the fun
Don't ever forget your special someone



A Broken Angel

An angel is for guidance, for you and me,
you broke its wing why can..t you see
this angel can't fly without its wing
you broke the angel the angel within me

An angel is for protection, for all alive,
misusing yourself has made the angel cry,
feels betrayed and the one to blame
thinking if you will ever be the same

An angel is forever an angel is for life
loose the precious angel, a part of the angel has already died

An angel is for love,
something we never had,
thinking if you are my angel only makes me sad,
you broke its wing it will never fly,
all the angel wanted was to be with you to the day you die

An angel is forever an angel is for life,
lost a part of the angel that you will never find

An angel is for friendship,
to make you laugh and smile,
exchanging words together makes it all worthwhile,
days go by there's a distance near,
i will never be the same angel as my image of you has now disappeared..

I was your angel


Hold Me

If I had my way Id wish you were here with me today,
if I had a choice Id do anything to hear your voice
If I could, I would want you to

CHORUS
hold me, and not let go
I wish you were here with me
I have to know, if our love is everything

If I could have my way Id want you to stay,
if I had one wish Id long for your kiss,
no matter how I feel I'm praying this is real

hold me, and not let go
I wish you were here with me
I have to know, if our love is everything

Ohh, I want you I need you
Ohh I cant explain
Ohh how much you mean to me
I have to wait and see

hold me don..t dare let go
I wish you were here with me
I have to know..

I need your arms around me, I'll wait for the day
when you are with me I want you to stay and hold me



Sad Little Girl

Just when I think, your there for me, I turn around and look what I see, this sad little girl, my reflection I see, not wanting to admit that little girl is me..

Just when I think
your there for me, I turn around and look what I see
this sad little girl
my reflection I see
not wanting to admit..not wanting to admit..
that little girl is me

I look around no ones there, I take this life without a care, is anyone there for me, I cant see, all I see is this sad little girl staring back at me

Now a tear has fallen from my face, I look again feel like a disgrace, not wanting to live not wanting to die, all I say is why why why..

A new day has come, can I face it?. Looking at me will I break it?. Are these feelings that I feel inside normal for every girl wanting to hide..

Just when I think
Just when I think
your there for me, I turn around and look what I see
this sad little girl
my reflection I see
not wanting to admit..not wanting to admit..
I want to forget...
that's me



If You

If you only knew how i feel today,
tears comes from my eyes flowing away
If you only knew how much i miss your warming hugs and non existant kiss
If you only knew where i was
thinking of you just because..

I only wanted you to be mine
Everyday i would go home crying
Seeing you everyday makes me wonder
what would have happened..

If you only knew what it took for me to smile
knowing ill be waiting here for awhile
If you only knew how much you meant
Ill never forget the day we met

I only cared, I only loved you
I lost you once, ill never forget who
took you away and i am lost
I need help to heal my broken heart

If you only knew how i feel today
tears coming from my eyes
Why wouldnt you stay!!!

I only wanted you to be mine
Everyday i would go home crying
Seeing you everyday made me wonder
what would have happened
if you..



A Piece of Me

I don't understand why life is unfair
took you away without a care
I knew he meant well and yes he did
left me here ..without you.. to grow up from
when I was a kid

And why a piece of me has gone
I can't go on without you I'l try..
and why a piece of me has gone
knowing I will never see you

I don't understand why I can't seem to accept
that you are no longer here, I'd rather forget
I lost you now I have to move on
pray every night that I will carry on ..without you..

and why a piece of me has gone
I can..t go on without you ..I'll try..
and why a piece of me has gone
knowing I have lost you

and why a piece of me has gone
I feel so alone ..alone.. knowing your gone
I have to carry on I..ll try..

A piece of me x3

and why a piece of me has gone, I can..t go on without you
I'll try.. and why a piece of me has gone knowing I have lost...you



What If

What if I walked left or right
what if it was day or night
I chose one way and the day
that is why I am here today

What if I smiled to a stranger or a friend
What if I cried a million tears having nothing to shed
I chose to smile at a friend
A shoulder to cry on
saved me in the end

What if I said I liked you more as a mate
what if I believed we could start to date
I told you how I feel
I chose to say
I have to deal with the hurt
whatever comes my way



What it Takes

When I try and be who I am
thinking of my whole life plan
when I want to be happy in life
not resort into taking my life

What it takes to be with you
what it takes to hold onto my life
I dream of being with you
I dream it will last

What it takes to show you how I feel
What it takes to show you this is real
that I love you and need you

When I try and make it all work out
when I fail and try to sort it all out
my whole life plan and what you mean to me
I know one day we can be

I know im not perfect I know I cant try

All I want is to be with you
you make living life so worthwhile
What it takes for you to be my future and find out the real me

Who I am my whole life plan
being happy in life
not resort into taking my life

I know im not perfect I know i cant try no one ever knows why



In My Eyes

I have lived my life the way it is
I have cried and tried to forgive you
but now I know no one..s worth the pain
and

In my eyes I see the truth
the reason why I cried for you
and now I know I have to let go
and

In my eyes I know the reason why
I trusted you and how you were there
But now you just don't care
and when I cry no ones worth the pain
and

I don't want to cry I don't want to die inside
I don't want to see I don't want to believe
that one day you were a part of me
and

In my eyes I see the truth
the reason why I cried for you
and now I know after all this time
now I know after all I cried
left me feeling empty inside and
what I see now in my eyes

Stranger

I stand there alone
strangers around,
suddenly I become so aware of the ground
strangers are near
here I am hoping that you would be here
Im left on my own
wondering why, waiting and watching as the time goes by
A stranger walks past, my heart skips a beat
If you only knew how my life would be complete
for that stranger to walk my way
for that stranger to hold my hand and try to understand
why im standing in the first place
why I bother and care
feeling a sense of loss
because you werent there


Ill Be There

Wherever you are, however you feel,
your not alone Im on your side
and wherever I am whatever I do I'll always be there for you
dont think your on your own and hope is gone
dont think that you cant relate and dont feel the need to appreciate
what you have, who you are even when hope seems so far


Ill be there to catch you when you fall,
cry your tears, ill take away your fears

Ill be there to guide you to help you understand
to make you dream of your whole life plan

Ill be there to catch you when you fall,
cry your tears, I'll take away your fears


You have chances, you have goals
dreams of becoming someone special
You have a voice, you have a mind,
a heart to remind you your one of a kind
A voice you can speak through
a helping hand my dear friend to help you understand

Wherever you are, however you feel your not alone Im on your side and wherever I am, whatever I do, I'll always be there for you

And Now I

And Now I'm Stairing At The Sky
Wondering If Time Will Pass Me By.
Will I Get The Sun Or The Moon?
Some People Think Lifes Not Fair Too Me
They Just Need to Look Around And See.
The Gold Chariot Awaits Us When You Show
This Is One Of My All Time Lows.

Because Waiting Here For You
Makes My Heart Ache.
And Sitting Here For You Makes My Heart Feel Fake.

Wait I Want You Here, Sitting With Me Under The Bright Streetlights.
Wait I Want to See Your Perfect Smile, Pressure Me To Be Something.
Your Eyes Are Mezmerizeing Can't Seem To Get Them Out Of My Head.
Wait I Want To See You Laugh Again, Your Beautiful.

And I'll Wait For You Forever
Even If You Think We Don't Belong Together.
I Know We Do
And I Know Its True.
But When Waking Up To Your Eyes Seems Natural.
Then The Rest Of Our Lives Will Be Normal.
Do You Need Me?
Cause I Really Need You Now

Because Waiting Here For You
Makes My Heart Ache.
And Sitting Here For You Makes My Heart Feel Fake.

Wait I Want You Here, Sitting With Me Under The Bright Streetlights.
Wait I Want to See Your Perfect Smile, Pressure Me To Be Something.
Your Eyes Are Mezmerizeing Can't Seem To Get Them Out Of My Head.
Wait I Want To See You Laugh Again, Your Beautiful.

And I Will Wake Up And Taste Your Lips.
Crush Me With Your Deadly Kiss
Because I'm Not Afraid To Die.
As Long As None Of This Is Just A Lie.
Because I Want You And I Need You.
So Give Me One More Shot.
Underneth It All Im Not So Bad.
Im Not So Bad.

Because Waiting Here For You
Makes My Heart Ache
And Sitting Here For You Makes My Heart Feel Fake.

Wait I Want You Here, Sitting With Me Under The Bright Streetlights.
Wait I Want to See Your Perfect Smile, Pressure Me To Be Something.
Your Eyes Are Mezmerizeing Can't Seem To Get Them Out Of My Head.
Wait I Want To See You Laugh Again, Your Beautiful.

I Want To See You Laugh. I Want To See You Smile.
I Want To Look In Your Eyes And Tell You I Love You.

-Matty

I didn't know your love, I didn't know your thoughts
If I could id go back into the past and make everything alright again

and this is not goodbye, I'll miss you, I'll see your face in the skies above smiling down on me, I know this is not goodbye

Some people think that pro snowboarders are not real people, but engineered life forms programmed to perform certain actions. Well, some of them are, but others are real people with real stories to tell. Snowblahg is Jacqui Berg, Nate Bozung, Mike Casanova, Leanne Pelosi, Matty Ryan, Robbie Sell, and Alexis Waite. They'll be telling it like it is. All the words, photos, and videos come directly from them, and come daily. It's like taking a peak at their personal diaries and discovering their deepest, darkest secrets. You'll feel like you know them so well that the next time you see one of them, you'll want to give them a hug. And please do -- the next time you see Robbie, give him a hug (he just wants to be loved). This website has been proven to improve relationships more than Match.com. In your face, Dr. Phil!
