Bah! Still no snow, and none in the forecast. Still, I got an e-mail about cat-boarding on New Year's Eve, so that made me happy, or at least wistful.

so can someone explain this hopping thing? (duh) ok, by the time I read the answer I will have figured it out, but wtf. Rumours of peeps coming north this w/e? True? Might be able to make it Sunday... (to Whis) Friday will be at the Canucks - Ottawa game.. (yes, that's right L and B, I will be there) Sat nite at a party in Van... So popular! sigh! it's interfering with my riding! :-(

pinkrobe- yes there are rules for posting. so no..its not an open post topic. greg- its a thing chris started. just a forum social thing thats fun. profile hopping.

So far, my new school is the best thing ever. I only have to go for 10 hours a week, which works out to 2 hours a day, and I can go whatever time and whatever days I want, and leave whenever I want, and take a break whenever I want ect ect. I go to my classroom and do one subject at a time and its SO easy, and quick to get through. I've only been there for 5 days, 2 hours per day, and Im already almost done my English course. If it continues this way, I should be graded by April at the latest. Yippee!! I was starting to think this was a bad idea before they let me in, but now I can see it was the best choice!!

Wow....that awesomeness of FJA is back. So basic rundown of my life. ITs going to be a book of words that is probably going to get passed over, but it has been ages since i have really posted in this place. Ahh yes......the powder of sb.com..... Ok .... So here we go. Lately, more like the last couple years, and alot more seriously the last 8 months, i have been working very hard on getting a company, Theoriem, up and running with a guy named Greg who is running it. In November i was officially named the Northwest Rep for the company. The basically means that i am scouting riders and setting up events for the company, its so sweet, its a dream come true for me. So if all goes according to plan i get to quit my job working in cell phones and its off to the road for me. Phoebs and i went up and had an epic day in waist deep powder at Schweitzer last friday. We rode with Barry, Jordan, and my good friend Kim. What a great time. Good friends, and great snow. Everything is shaping up pretty well. Dreams are seeming to come true, and most of all, the world meet is coming up in April!! WOOT!!!!!! Haha, so you guys take it easy. Im glad to hear you all are still loving life!

Im going to whistler today!!! for an epic weekend of riding and drinking and hanging out with some of my favorite kids around. sorry this is short, but im excited and had to let you all know!

I dont even need to say have fun, because obviously you will.

I know it was a long time ago, but when I moved FJA into the old folks home, I recall that we made a deal that members of the ofh would be welcome to post, as it is in their space. For those who don't remember, FJA was originally in general and was a flamefest clusterf*ck at times. So I reestablished it in 30+ to hide it away from joe public. Of course, at the time their were about 4 people posting to 30+, lots more now. So go easy on telling the "residents" that they are not welcome. They might dump geritol into your beer.

Well, hope everyone gets a board in, over the weekend. It's 17:30, & a Friday afternoon, here in Auckland, NZ. Have a good weekend guys; I'm off to drive a brand new Freightliner from Auckland to a town about 2.5 hrs from here. Got my iPod loaded with Johnny Cash, Blues Brothers, Loretta Lynn, & some good ol' punk rock...gonna be some good drivin'!!! Hope the weather'll be nice on Sat, as the surf looks good for the weekend...

so after an extended beer stop in van (one beer turned into two....you get the idea). I managed to beat the road closures andmake it to whistler at about 11:30 last night. I swing by Joes and pick him up and head to garfs. haha, we show up and steve is already hosed and tyler joins us shortly thereafter with some friends from town. I drank, shook my ass on the dancefloor, got attacked by two of steve's aussie roomies, and ate a sausage roll. Exactly what i was expecting out of my first night here. tonight = country club partay!

Dudes - glad to see that the FJA is back. And dayzi and a sausage roll. Well, I never heard it called that before. I am stuck on the Island this weekend, so I will not be able to join in the hi-jinx. And is has not snowed for a long time now. We need more snow to really liven things up.

Yeah, it looks like we got your snow so far this season. No precipitation in the forecast for the next 10 days here, so maybe it will be your turn? I won't tell you how much fun we have tomorrow in the 45+ inches of white we plan to play in. I'm sure it will suck. ;)

Yeah, well I did ask you about the FJA thing a coupla weeks back, so if it comes down to asking (again) to join FJA, sign me up... Don't ask me to remember the Secret Handshake, as I'm not so good at that!!!

Hey FJA members...I've been keeping up on this forum since the old version..and yes, I have read the history of why FJA was established. I've been with sb.com for awhile now, and I think I am ready to become a memer. Stop by and check out my profile, read some of my posts. I need three nominations....PLEASE!!!! :)

I give two nominations to the old timers! Now I must go crawl back under the rock I came out of.

I believe accepting new members is over. Whoever is in is in, and thats it I think. I could be wrong though.

Nah thats some rule we tell people so they don't bother talking in here. Its like telling the whole world it does nothing but Rain here in Washington keeps people away.

Holy shit MPD, I feel I'm gonna be violated as a rite of passage for FJA... Watch out Christina...!!!!!!! Damn, I'll have to change the sheets...

Hm. Well, I went riding for the first of the season on Saturday and it was really great. I came to the conclusion that I need new boots desperately though, and Im not gonna be progressing much until I get some. I also started work and its goin well. I guess thats all.

WEeeeeeeeeeeee hey look im posting here, i live in ontarible and its cold here and we have snow and and and i cant snowboard for one month becuase i suck and dont drive and and and and im drunk before 12am WEEEEEE MONDAY!

^^^Hehe, go get 'em, Tiger... I'll be waiting!!

so. i think it's been about twent years since i posted anything in here. don't think that means i haven't been following all your lives though. just haven't had time to write about myself. i'm sure that's been devastating for everyone. anyway, what's been happening in my fabulously exciting life is this. i got fed up with/burnt out on studying neuroscience in general and my school's neuro program in particular, and decided it was completely irrelevant to what i want to do with my life, so i quit. i applied to change graduate programs and am now officially working on an MD/PhD in epidemiology instead, and i love it. this is possibly the best decision i ever made. i also decided that i ultimately want to go into either Ob/Gyn or a combined family practice/women's health program. a bit ironic as when i started med school a few years ago i swore the last thing i would ever ever do was "join the damn vagina squad." my youngest sister graduated high school and ended up going to cal sate sacramento, which is about 20 minutes from here, something she totally takes advantage of. at the moment she's in my living room having a tantrum on the phone with out mother, which is why i've spend the day hiding from her in my own freakin house and haven't gotten anything done (although she seems to have calmed down for the moment). i ate venison for the first time yesterday and it was damn good. i'm about 99% for certain going to Cuba in march, legally with a visa and everything, which in case anyone didn't know is approximately next to impossible for americans, so it's a huge deal for me and i'm incredibly stoked about it. i'm hopefully going riding for the first time this season tomorrow, so that's something else to be stoked about.

and just for the hell of it, here's a picture of my christmas tree. if pictures work here. [Image Removed] which apparently they don't, so you'll have to look in my profile if you want to see it. [Edited on 12/12/2005]

T!!!! Holy man it's been awhile, glad to hear things are going well with you!!!
