Well, it's pretty obvious I've been seriously slacking off in keeping up with the blog. To my loyal readers, all none of you, I apologize! So what's been going on with me, anyway? Well, let me tell you!
I finally got a chance to take all my new gear out and hit the slopes last weekend. It wasn't nearly as bad as I thought it would be. I only really needed 2 runs down the beginner slope to get back to where I was however many years ago. Then it was off to the big boy slopes! I paid for it the next couple days though, my entire body was hurting. My knees are still a little bruised from a couple spills on icy patches. Ouch!
On a completely different note, it seems as though my little blog is reaching out and touching some people in the music industry, even though I haven't posted a Music Monday since Grooveshark was blocked at work. The guys from Beissert found the MM post in which I posted their album "...nothing left to luv!", and made their own blog post in appreciation! It's refreshing to see a band appreciate fans spreading their music, instead of demanding it be taken down. Very cool guys.
And in the "I don't give a shit about this, Mike." file, I finally got off my ass and got everything I needed to get my fireplace up and going! Nice and toasty!
Name the movie I'm thinking of and get 1 free internets!
Anyhow, on to why I'm such a happy camper. My snowboarding gear started arriving in the mail today! Between this and the snow earlier this week, I feel like a kid at christmas all over! As soon as I got home I had to open everything and try it all on!
