Wow what an insanely awesome weekend. it was the US open at stratton, and by god it was sick. i left right after achool friday and went straight to stratton, made in in like 3 hrs and 15 mins. i doubt i dropped it under 85 that whole trip, cept in towns and when i saw cops. anyway, i got to stratton and picked up my credentials, and headed right up to the rail jam. the setup was fuckin sick and some crazy riding went down. i met up with nick and julian and saw katie and ashton there then i did some filming and shot some pictures. Ok so rahm klampert is nuts, throwin 5's off rails, and rotax 450'd onto the high ledge. then after the jam some of the members of the wu-tang clan preformed and that was nuts.

the next day, saturday i headed up to stratton with jared and amanda and we went to the halfpipe. I went to the media room and got set up and met with julian and nick. i also met up with randy and caught up with him, that was nice. The village down there set up was pretty phat and it was good to see all the support the sport is gaining. Ok so for the riding, i went up to the pipe and based myself in one of the photo pits on the side of the pipe and shot off like 5 rolls of film. some more nutty riding went down, like kelly's double overhead 7's and keir's 17 foot mickys, danny's back to back 10's and Aguirre's insanely smooth style. my hopes go out to shaun who went down early and aggrivated his bad knee, and kazuhiro who went down hard right where i was in the pipe and had to get backbarded out, last i heard he was stable in the hospital. Danny won and Kelly won, i got sick shots and video too and then funkmaster flex spun the records for a bit but the weather was bad so like everyone packed up and left. i went home then saw some movie, i think it was secret window but i dont remember.

Sunday i left early with anthony and got him to the jr jam and i went and met with nick and julian in the morning. we headed to the slopestyle to shoot some film and i got some shots the weather wasnt so good but it was better for the girls then men. i frequently stopped by the pipe tocheck on ant and see how he was doing, he ended up going to the finals and got ninth, i saw Randy but unfortunatly he didnt have any time to take any runs but whatever, cant always win. The weather took a turn for the worst for the men and it was impossibe to get any good shots off so i got frustrated and left. i got into the car and it took me 6 hours to get home cuz the roads were completely iced over and the cars werent moving at all. i finally made it home, and its cool cuz jared and my mom are across the country and that means theyre not here, so thats good. this upcoming week should not suck, yeS.
peace for now. Coheed is the best.

Hello all my fans, i know its been about a month since i updated this because yes, i'l lazy. i know, but whatever. There have been some updates in my life that maybe you'd like to hear... unless i talk to you a lot, then you probably already know! So i'm driving again finally, and its good. about driving - yesterday i was doing a really long burnout and tried to shift to 2nd and keep it spinning... baddd idea, i burnt a lot of clutch and i just finally got my car to stop smelling like burnt clutch. My 3000 mile checkup is in like 50 miles so if there is anything bad goin on then illl know soon. Tomorrow is the last day i'll ever see the lexus, it goes bye bye, but its ok, the new acura TL is coming and that car's fun, even though it is a 6 cyl, its front wheel so the pickup is nice. the only bad part is that he's gettin it in auto . OK enough car business, the new things i gotta worry about include SAT's and a job. since i had to stop working at the shop due to the injury, ive been calling back but theres like no busibess there so they dont want me to start working again yet cuz it really just doesnt make sense, i dont blame them, they'd be losing money. Now i have to go look for a job, maybe at the mall. my dad saw a place thats just opening and looking for help. there's hope, plus, i need to finish paying off the car and im running out of gas money! SATs... i took a practice one today at the Kaplan center where im taking a prep course, and damm those things are hard. i fuckin tanked it but they'll fix it. Also, i had my interview at RCC about goin there full day next year instead of being a senior at SHS, and they told me id been accepted, so thats cool. actually thats more than cool. I havent been snowboarding in such a long time that this past weekend i was like fuck it, im riding so i did the small shit, it was fun, i mean just to get back on a board, it was goooood. then i went snowmobiling which is a whole nother story.

School work is a bitch, everyone knows that. i feel like i dont understand much of the stuff that im learning, like chem, math and history is just plain boring. Well next monday im getting another X ray of my arm and hopefully it will be more bone where there wasnt and the thing will start looking like a bone again. Hi Taryn!

Well thats all i got, theres probably a ton of shit i left out cuz a month is a long time and i think i just recapped like a week cuz my memory's kinda bad but anyway, you'll just have to wait and see if i remember anything. hahahahahahah ive got you now.
it is usess to resist. thats from star wars. EVERYONE GO NUTS. peace

OK so we got back from vermont tonight, i went up with taryn, it was fun. taryn went snowboarding on saturday and i went to okemo. The slopestyle at okemo looked like it sucked, the course was uber-weak. anyway before any of that i got into a mini-fight with my parents cuz i was sarcastic to some strangers who my parents feel like considering "new friends" anyway they got all fuckin mad and shit but i ended up goin to VT anyway... obviously. so after okemo i got back and chilled at home with taryn and watched the X - games and shaun just beatin the shit out of the rest of the competition. damn that kid is good, i wish i could be that muthafucka. damm. well my arm's doin somewhat better, i went to the doctor earlier in the week and he said it moved into place and the gaps and shit in the bone are now gonna b filled in but i still have to wear this dumb sling, and i still cant move my chickenwing.

Saturday night after watching some TV got pretty crazy.... haha brushing ur teeth in the bathroom... what a great idea. OK so tonite i watched more X games and once again Shaun tore up the pipe, as expected and tomorrow is the finals but thats a problem cuz its on when american choppers is on, and damn, that just wont do! Somehow i'll figure out how to watch both, maybe ill record choppers cuz the games are live and thats way cool. I actually would really like to see keir dillon win, or at least place, i know that shaun will win no matter what but keir has been killin it so hard, he deserves it and should get more recognition than he does now.

OK so now im done typing cuz i am doing this zanga thing at the same time as research for my photo essay, and i should really be concentratin on photo. peace

Okay this is my first posting and i guess i'm doing this because i get bored frequently and this is something to do and right now i have nothing better to do. Well today was my first day back in school in like 2 weeks since i broke my humerous (not funny) while snowboarding. it hurts but its okay, my parents made me go back to school and im off my painkillers which is not so much fun but whatever, advil will have to do. So i officially hate school, its the most boring thing ever. today in history class mr collins was droning on and on and on about god knows what and i looked around the classroom and i counted 5 people with their heads down, sleeping and 2 sleeping while sitting straight up. personally when i sleep in class i put my head down - whenever i keep my head up it rolls around and i get woken by like some sorta whiplash and it hurts. so anyway im sittin in class and im thinking to myself "i would rather die than be sitting here" and then i thought about that statement and realized it wasnt an exaderation at all. Ok then next period in forsnsics the drug-sniffing dog came in and officer venturini talked to us about the role of k-9's in the police force. did you know that new york is the only state in which if you hurt a dog-officer it's only a misterminer, and in all other states its a felony. well i thought that was slightly interesting. later in the day i had double chem and i counted all 110 minutes and concluded i hate school more than anything in life, even pop music. i feel like such a loser because now that i have a broken chicken wing, i cant drive and i had to take the bus to and from school and that sucks because i now have to wake up like a half hour earlier, and i also dont get to drive my car which sucks a lot to begin with. Now im home and im bored already and even though theres schoolwork that i can do i hate that shit so im not going to do it. so what if i have midterms coming up, i'm not sure i care about anything having to do with school anymore so why bother. my parents are all on my back about that shit but i dont care, i do what i wanna.

I went to taryns house yesterday for a lil while when my dad went out food shopping, that was fun and taryn is very laffable person and laffs a lot, thats all i can tell ya. hehe. OH it's only 6 days till the maiden concert in the city that me and julian are going to, we were talkin about it briefly today, like what theyre gonna play and what we want them to play but whatever the do end up playing you know its gonna be awesome. okay i've had enough of this posting, so im gonna go lie down for a while probably and rest a bit... well ill not get any sleep cuz i have to sleep sitting up and its uncomfortable but ill pretend im sleeping so my parents wont tell me to do my wor cuz thats the last thing that i wanna do right now. see ya all later, hope you like my zanga thingy... bye.
