So here I am at the airport about to hop on a plane to Las Vegas, going to this trade show called SIA. For those of you who don’t know, it’s basically the place where everyone in the snowboard industry goes to launch their new equipment or whatever. It pretty much turns into one big party and it’s cool because it’s one of the few places you get to see everyone at the same time. This is me at the airport, drinking the first of what ended up being a reckless amount of tall beers… I hadn’t eaten anything that day so the beer was making me insta-drunk.

Obviously I made it to Vegas, but I didn’t find any food… all we found were big plastic cups of wine served to us on the plane and I passed out on route. I just woke up before landing in Vegas and already felt hung-over… great start to my trip!

ADD US TO YOUR FRIEND LIST FOR THE LATEST ON YWE!

-Johnny

Alright class, time to analyze this.  Don't be narrow minded now, it's for the benefit of society, key parts of the conversation are highlighted in corresponding colors.  Don't worry, I'll help walk you through it, teacher's notes are in orange.

Background: So basically what we have here is an excerpt from a colonies "gangsta" brawl.  Very West Side Story in nature.  To summarize what was happening before i decided to look deeper into this, DIICCE and Max are fighting over who's gang's tougher and have been talking about taking this argument "off colonies".  Let's get to work now.

 

DIICCE_CRUNK: AE YO CAILYN STOP UR BF FROM FRONTIN AND TRYNA ACT LIEK A CRIP B4 HE GET KILLED

(Note the enraged attitude specified by the capitalized letters poor spelling, note the conversation with the Max’s gal, confrontation with the female member of the party vice the male in an attempt to have her logic with him because he can’t)
LACEY_SO_SEXY: caylinnnnnnnnnnnn
Mighty_Max_212: i aint nevr said i was acting liek one

(denial)
LC_BABY: no you called me cailyn
Mighty_Max_212: i siad crips are better
LC_BABY: and bryce i cant tell him what to do
Mighty_Max_212: its a proven fact
LC_BABY: hi laceyyyyyyy
LACEY_SO_SEXY: lol hi

(meet the women of this batch, LC= Max's, Lacey= diicce's, this is their first interaction and such on friendly terms.  this goes to show that women can engage in pleasantries despite any differences or resentment)
DIICCE_CRUNK: YEA YEA STOP TRYNA BANG IN THE f*ckIN INTERNET PUSSY
DIICCE_CRUNK: NOW LOOK HE BE THE 1 TALKIN PUSSY LOL\

(we're still using caps and poor spelling, take heed, this represents permenant discontent and most likely depression)
LACEY_SO_SEXY: im back diicce no hi

(neediness for attention)
LC_BABY: why dont you stop talking about crips and bloodz there both lame

(resentment finally appears, feminine intuition to resolve conflict)
Mighty_Max_212: you7 the one talkgin bout shooting people at ur school to get attention

(insensitivity with hard evidence)
DIICCE_CRUNK: WB LACEY

(satisfication of obnoxious female neediness)
LACEY_SO_SEXY: ty
DIICCE_CRUNK: ae max that was the past lets talk abotu the future

(denial, not wanting to face the facts)
Browny_05: lacey im always leavin you cheesy lines
Browny_05: wheres mine?
DIICCE_CRUNK: u tryna bang so lets not bang here lets bang off colonies

(continuation of the term "off colonies" suggesting that perhaps they're "thug" enough to take this argument somewhere else, note no caps and relatively better grammar)
LC_BABY: why talk about the future if you dont know it...

(attempt to resolve conflict with reason hampered by percieved dbs, dumb blonde syndrome)
Mighty_Max_212: i already so okay
LACEY_SO_SEXY: lol kev i dont have cheesy lines speaking of cheesy lines leave me oneeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

DIICCE_CRUNK: cause he tryna act hard like a lil pussy

(responding to what had been considered dbs and was actually logical reasoning, further more demeaning of opposition in a need to feel more self important)
Browny_05: no!!
Browny_05: i have feelings too

(browny's been fliriting with lacey for a while now, note diicce's lack of attention, he either doesn't care or is too side tracked by max to care)
tapindahouse: iight

(random intervention by unwanted party)
LACEY_SO_SEXY: yes please
Browny_05: i want some

(man on the side?)
tapindahouse: who f*cking with bryce?
LC_BABY: why are u letting it get too u so much

(more reason and logic, who'dve thunk?)
LACEY_SO_SEXY: fine ill send u some if u send me some
Mighty_Max_212: because he knows im right

(bullheaded stubborness as opposed to logical maturity!)
LC_BABY: if u dont care about wat he says why are u complaining

(logic logic logic)
tapindahouse: is kyle here

(realizes problem is to grand for them to deal with, goes searching for the authorities)
LC_BABY: common sense....
LC_BABY: use it

(DING DING DING DING DING DING DING DING WE HAVE A WINNER!)
DIICCE_CRUNK: MAX TAP HE TRYNA ACT GANGSTA LOL SAYIN CRIPS ARE BETTER THAN BLOODS

(recruitment of minions)
tapindahouse: bryce my bro wont give me weed mannn
tapindahouse: FUK NO

(oh my, hardcore)
Browny_05: diice, if you had any common sense youw ould know hes just f*ckin with you

(so, Lacey's man whore is trying to befriend diicce, keep your friends close and your enemies closer)

tapindahouse: I QUIT GANGS BUT FUK CRIPS

(soooo hard core)
DIICCE_CRUNK: E MAX LETS TAKE THESE OUT THE INTERNET LETS BANG NIGGA

(caps, poor spelling, non englishlanguage)

Mighty_Max_212: Cz are better then you guys get over it

(logic has sunk in)
DIICCE_CRUNK: TO SEE HOW HARD U REALY ARE PUSSY

(logic has not sunk in)
tapindahouse: LMAO

(psychophant)
CAMARO_GUY: Ok, enough with the crap.

(arrival of the cops, hmmm let's see what happens)
LC_BABY: wow like i said before you guys are lameeee.

(logic with dbs)
Mighty_Max_212: iight dood for the 3rd time i said okay

(logic's gone)
tapindahouse: max ill fight u for bryce

(oh man, bamf)
Browny_05: lacey
tapindahouse: cypress hills between pit king and glenmore 168 montack

(dun dun dun dun! we have an address!)
LACEY_SO_SEXY: ok stop max and caylin and diicce and tapin

(other set of boobs finds logic)
tapindahouse: 11208
LACEY_SO_SEXY: wat kev
Browny_05: send me a comment

(affair! right infront of diicce's eyes!)
DIICCE_CRUNK: lol tap control ur self
DIICCE_CRUNK: i can take these pussy off the gutter

(to sum it up with a marlon brando line "I'm gonna make him an offer he can't refuse)
LACEY_SO_SEXY: ok kev but u got to send me one
tapindahouse: im doneee
tapindahouse: man im high
Browny_05: deal
LACEY_SO_SEXY: k
Browny_05: send me one first

tapindahouse: jose just ask me out
tapindahouse: hes so damn fine!!

 

 

And from that point on the conversation became completely irrelevant.

 

 

Red- Color relates to the concept of holding a fight or “bang” off of colonies.com, as in, in reality…

 

Green- What are “crips” and “bloods”?  Apparently they’re the root of the conflict, let’s have another West Side Story flash back, Jets and Sharks anyone? 

 

Blue- Is it just me or does it look like Browny and Lacey are having an affair?

 

Highlighted- Proof that women know how to settle conflict yet can’t…

 

So, what have learned?  Men will fight over things that don’t even make sense, women will attempt to resolve conflict and fail due to the excess of male bullheadedness.  A need for a guy to prove himself extends beyond a non-existent internet world and Browny’s a complete flirt…wow, that was so effective.

My Blog: SIA Vegas
By: Matt_Turner


So i just got back from SIA Trade show down in Vegas and it was everything i expected and more.  Here's a quick review of what i remember:
 
Monday:
Fly from Vancouver to Vegas on the 12:44 flight.  Many of hommies on the plane, so the trip was already bound to be good.  Got to Vegas and ran into Cedric The Entertainer within mins of getting our bags.
Limo ride to our hotel "The Bellagio" only the one of the best.  Check in, up pack, start drinkin and cruise the strip while making a few phone calls.
Word on the street is that there were 2 hot parties planned for that night.  Hooked up with good ol Kale Stephens who was nice enough to hook us up with 2 tickets to the Burton Party @ Rain in The Palms.
So we head to The Palms, check out Hart and Huntington then head into the Burton party and what a surprise......Common was just taking the stage.  Chilled out to Common, while enjoying free drinks.  The night only got better when Mix Master Mike took the stage after.  Rest of the night was a blur, but i know we hooked up with everyone at the Hard Rock till the wee hours of the morning.
 
Tues:
We headed off to the trade show during the day and of course started drinking.  Probably my fav. booth was Volcoms Hippi booth.  Beers, Karoke and Volcom boys and girls dressed as hippies. Forgot to mention that next to our trade show was the Redken hair product show which = WOW.  I must have fallen in love many times.  Being drunk around thousands of hot girls was fun and trouble...but that's another story.
So we got tickets to another party we couldn't believe.  We were headed back to The Joint @ The Hard Rock for Bam Margera's private Bachelor party.  Check the pics, the nights kinda blurry from all the double vodka rockstars.  I remember alot of Weeman though.
End of the night finished again in the lobby bar of the Hard Rock.
 
Wed:
Woke up and got wasted in bed off Hypnotiq, then headed to the trade show.  Drank all day at the trade show, ate nothing and was sick all night.
 
Thurs:
Flew home feeling like sh*t but great week.  Already can't wait for next year.
 
Thanks again Vegas

The Sofa Store,
 
 
Walking down the main street of wick was a small 12 inch high lepoard he was wearing a green jumper, blue trousers, a shiney pink jackey, a human sized glove on his head and a peace symbol around his neck, he was half way down the street when he came across a shop that sold sofas, There was a massive sign in the window that said half of for anyone over the age of 90, he though "well im 89 i could pass as 90" so he went up to the clerk who was a 6 foot tall giraff wearing a kilt and a balaclava, the lepoard squinted at the giraff and the giraff squinted at the leporad the said in unisun "What the f*ck are you?" the lepoard says "aren't you supposed to be a human" and the giraff said "well i was once but i met this man at the bingo that said that for a tenner he could turn me into any animal i wanted, so without thinking about the consequences i siad "ok i wanna be a giraff" and then poof i was a giraff i was so amazed I started running about when i got back to where the man was he was gone i though oh shi*t how will i get back to being a human, and then i noticed that the tenner was still on the table so it was a win win situation. The lepoard look at him like he wanted to say nigga is yo crazy?, then said "that still does'nt explain how you came to get a job in a sofa store or why you're wearing that ridiculos get-up". Well that was the hard part everybody took some convinsing that i was me, i was about to get ran out of town when i had an ingeneous idea. I decided to break into my house, go into my wardrobe and get out last years halloween costume, so i got it and went into the back garden and put it on, which by the way wasn't an easy task without any apposable thumbs, i put it on and started dancing a dance that i had done at the same halloween party i had worn the costume to, my wife looked out the window and realised it was me, "so i wear this ridiculos  get - up as you so bluntly put it so people know its me. The lepoard looked at the giraff and said "i only came in to buy a sofa at half price and i have just had the single most wierdest day of my life" and i hope by reading this story you have too!

Ok so last year at SIA06 everyone was trying to push the Quiver concept on me. Basically its a simple idea; have more than 1 board. 1 for powder 1 for jibbing 1 for trashing and 1 for fun. I guess its a good idea... but why not go to the extreme? Working in a shop doesn't help me, over the last 5 years i've built quite a QUIVER of boards...

Burton Custom 160 (Go Fast Board)
Burton Clash 157 (Rock Board)
Burton Baron 157 (2 foot core shot thats been re-laminated.. Trash board)
Burton Baron 157 (all around)
Rossignol Mini 121 (fun fun fun)
Burton Twin 154 (park)
Head Intelligence 157 (powder)

Maybe I went over board? but damn you should see the looks i get when i roll up with a Board Rack 7 deep in the bed of my truck.

.senza data.

Do iuuuu. iu gat so match loviiiin!
ho bisogno di positività.di voglia di fare.di linfa vitale.di stimoli. e di pazzia.
experience.learn.experience. questo paesello mi stritola kome una morsa.
siamo tutti lobotomizzati.incapaci di scegliere.animali da branco.
seguiamo il piu forte ma il nostro destino è soccombere xkè così hanno deciso.
questo è il meccanismo.seguiamo le mode. ragioniamo per luoghi comuni.
zero obiettivi. molti più soldi. quello che conta è la griffe.quello ke conta è come ti guardano.LORO.
loro ke sono l esatta tua copia.riprodotta in milioni di esseri umani.nel mio caso un paesino.che dorme.     
che vegeta.soddisfatto nel non essere nulla e nel credere di essere tutto. e di avere tutti in pugno.
Pff. questa gente mi spegne. mi limita. questo modo di vivere mi opprime e deprime.
Ho trascorso un week end appesa tra film. sogno e realtà. e con il fiato sospeso e lo stomaco aggrovigliato ho amato.
osservato.respirato. e sopratutto ascoltato.ascoltato qualcuno respirare la mia stessa voglia di fare.cercare.e non accontentarsi.

Puerto Banus è la Montecarlo, o se preferite la Capri Iberica. La strada principale è caratterizzata da negozi d’alta moda (in cui la fanno da padrone gli ateliers degli stilisti italiani) e ristoranti di classe in cui si consumano rigorosamente piatti a base di pesce. Yacht lussosi sono ormeggiati nel porto. Ricchi industriali avanti con gli anni girano con i loro macchinoni alla ricerca di giovani ragazze da abbordare. Sulla spiaggia la tolleranza è nettamente maggiore rispetto all’Italia, le donne che prendono il sole in topless e perizoma sono oltre la metà. Complice il caldo, la temperatura dell’acqua è quasi da Caraibi. Purtroppo i prezzi sono davvero astronomici, per il cibo è meglio ripiegare sull’esoticissimo (sic!) McDonald’s. Sulle colline intorno alla cittadina ecco sorgere villone extralussuose e sfavillanti campi da golf.

I have to say, with all the crap going on at camp, I still heart Whistler!! People here are so nice!! Here are a few things that I have never experienced anywhere else...
 
*After our massive problem with the bus this morning, everything was sorted out in whistler dollars... a case of Kokanee gold.  Much Much less then the actual price of repairs and labour!
 
*I walked into second cup to get a white chocolate hot chocolate (so yummy) and the people behind the counter where speaking french, so i ordered in french.. we talked for a bit and then i left without having to pay because they siad most people switch to english even if they know french!
 
*My boss and I were about to hike the hill to rez after the pub one night, and 2 guys said they had just gotten a taxi and since there was room no use it going to waste! Dropped off right at our door!
 
*Everyone on the phone treats you like they have known you forever! I deal with lots of supliers and restaurants.  Each and every one of them has a great nickname for me. I also get lots of huns, sweety and babes! ha!  I have to say, every conversation I have lasts forever... and we do have a list of people that when they are calling I have to hand the phone over to my coworker.  She has dibs on one of the Chef's at Joey Chan's and the delivery boy at the supply store! ha!  I also had a pizza delivery call last 20 minutes! I also like the fact that sometimes the suppliers throw in extra stuff for me (free dinner, drinks etc)
 
*The people that work in the rez are great... and since I feed everyone left overs I have tons of people dropping in to caht and keep me entertained during the day.
 
 
Why did I take a job in ontario... i should just stay here!
