It's sad to see how people take things for granted and don't realize it until it's too late.  My friend's parents are hella old and being the only daughter out of 3, she hardly ever sees her parents and refuses to move back home just so that she isn't bothered after she gets home from work.  It's understandable to be independent and living on your own but just because you don't live with your parents anymore it doesn't mean you should avoid them because they're not going to live much longer considering they're in retirement age and still worrying about their kids.  Although it's not as bad as someone who lives with their parents and still doesn't see their parents.  Family ties are not as strong as they want to believe it to be because if ties were strong then why is no one fighting over the guardianship of the aging parents?  No one is saying their parents should live with them but instead everyone wants to move away from the parents so they can die a lonely death.  It's situations like this is when you question why did you ever have kids for because they will eventually take you for granted and leave you to die all by yourself.

Seriously, I'm not racist but if you're just acting creepy or scary then that's just how you portray yourself and it has nothing to do with the color of your skin period.  If you don't want to be portrayed as a scary or creepy race or person then stop acting that way sheesh!  It's plain and simple.  So don't even think about using the race card because you are simply what you are and that's that.  People just like to find an excuse to blame things on when the truth is that it's just them.  So stop making excuses and face the facts, you're a freak!

Damn racist!

So our new neighbor just moved in right after our old neighbor packed their belongings and left.  It's kind of sad to see them go and even more disappointing to see that they wasted the $200k in equity that they pulled out which is the cause of their own demise.  They were nice people and more presentable than the neighbor across the street from us.  They are such pack rats!  Their 3 car garage is filled from top to bottom with nothing but junk!  Their ghettoness is making their community look so bad.  Anyways, I haven't actually seen our new neighbors but I heard they were Mexicans and not the Mexican white our old neighbor were.  I just hope they're not ghetto or have 21738932473 people living in there.  Although I'm not surprised that the house sold fairly quick for a short sale because they did build a pretty fancy pool with water slide and waterfall before losing the house.  But the other house down the street more took a long time to sell because it wasn't remodeled or anything just plain standard but I knew the new owners were Vietnamese just by looking at the types of cars on their driveway.  How is that possible?  Easy, Vietnamese people tend to follow the bandwagon and do the same thing as the rest of their people.  So what car did they have?  They had a Toyota Sienna van, Toyota Tundra truck, and a Mercedes Benz.  And yes, they are Vietnamese.

Haha!

It is just good to be back in Cali!  Sure, it didn't rain while I was in Seattle which was actually too bad because that means no fresh snow to board on so that kind of sucked.  Although the snow wasn't too bad but still could of been better because it was pretty compact and the trails were horrible especially at Crystal Mountain mainly because to be able to have a decent length run, you must take multiple lifts.  Stevens Pass was better but at the same time the trails were also pretty short.  I boarded 3 out of the 5 days that I was in Seattle so I'm fine with that!  I did get one day to myself to drive around and explore Seattle or more like the state of Washington.  Car and I took the ferry for the first time so that was kind of interesting although the roads were just horrible in Washington.  The streets were all so disorganized and curved every few yards and there was a lack of sidewalks as well.  Everything just felt like such a small town feeling although Seattle is suppose to be a tech mecca for the young but all I saw were old retirement folks and ghetto kids.  I just think they need to knock everything down and restructure everything because all the twist and turns is just a waste of space.  Anyways, I can't believe how many times I went boarding this season because for the past 2 years my average has been 4 times a season but so far I have gone boarding 5 times already and 2 more times to go! 

You said it!

Recently we went to a relative's baby shower which pretty much was pretty unexpected because it was poorly planned and just thrown out there.  The to be parents forgot to include the sex of the baby and the registry information on the invitations so only one of my cousin's family actually bought something from the registry because no one else knew about it.  It was funny because they came lugging in a huge box; it was either a baby stroller/carrier or a carrier because I didn't really look at the picture on the box.  I guess it was understandable because this is their first baby and first time doing a baby shower, but if they fail at this then imagine when they decide to have a wedding.  His sister's kid is a big mouth pimp!  He just talks non stop and went around asking if anyone knew any 8 year old girls and if they did then they should tell them to give him a call.  He went on saying he needs more girlfriends and he just divorced his wife haha.  I can imagine him knocking up a bunch of girls when he hits puberty.  Although it's kind of sad because I don't think any of the kids are actually married except for the one brother who's about to have a baby but the rest of the sisters are all mothers long ago and their boyfriends and baby's daddies are pretty ghetto looking.  Although one guest did surprised me a little because he's young but his babies' mama looks like someone's aunt or mom because her taste in style is just plain old so I was like what the hell!  This guy is with her?!  Crazy!

Art, there's just no explanation for it.

Drama, drama, drama!  It just peeves me to know that some families are so dysfunctional and crazy!  My older brother's friend's family just lost their house all because of the mom's dumb boyfriend, who decided to not pay the bills anymore without telling anyone.  So the story is they bought the house 10 years ago in his name only and apparently he's younger than her and has a gambling problem.  About 2 years ago, he secretly pulled out over 200k out of the house and probably used it all up gambling.  About a few months ago, his personality started to change and complained about money and how the kids needs to get jobs.  Finally the bank came with an eviction letter and that's when everyone knew what had happened and dude everyone was pissed because by that time it was too late to do anything about it since the bank already sold the house and it's not like they didn't have the money to pay it all.  You can say it was a cruel way to break up because there goes all the years of paying off the house.  It's the freaking boyfriend's fault that this is all happening but 4 out of 5 of her kids are blaming her because they're all retarded.  My brother's friend is the oldest and he knows what's happening and is trying to hold his family together but they're just all too crazy and wants to beat the crap out of the boyfriend.  The eldest sister who I went to high school with left home after high school with her boyfriend and is recently married.  Her boyfriend being the youngest in his family, his mom bought them a house in San Jose or whatever so he can live near her so that's where they went.  She hardly calls her mom but when she does all she does is brag about how much money they have and yet knowing that her family is going to be on the streets she refuses to help because they're planning on buying a second house which just might be from their own hard work this time.  Talk about being an ungrateful child.  The second oldest daughter is just plain crazy and left home after high school and moved with her boyfriend to Texas until he went to prison and will stay there for a very long time.  She came back and did nothing but blame the mom so the brother got so mad and was about to beat her ass so she left and went back to Texas the next day.  The youngest daughter who went to school with my little brother turned lesbo and left home after high school to be with her girlfriend in Capital Hill in Washington.  She's never coming back and of course blames the mom for what's going on too.  The youngest son who is the only son of the mom's boyfriend which is why he was the only kid that he cared about out of all of them is so spoiled and in his own world that he blames the mom for everything.  This is why I don't want kids because you can give them the world and they can give you complete crap.  Wouldn't it just be easy to just shove them back in your womb like a return if you're not satisfied with them?  Stupid kids.

Anywho, on a less angry note, I can't wait to go boarding again this season!  The storms this year is just so great!  I wished I was a kid when I first boarded because it's so much easier to learn as a kid.  The reason is because your board is so small so it's light and you move slow.  My little nephew and niece can do black diamond with ease.  Plus, since you're so short you are not afraid to fall and hurt yourself but when you're older you are cautious because breaking a bone will mean no work so no play.  My brother's friend just broke his wrist and hurt his tailbone while trying a jump, whereas one of my cousin hurt her tailbone because a skier ran her over haha.  Although I wanted to slap this stupid girl for her dumb comment last time at Mt High.  Her friends were saying how it's a good idea to wear a helmet for safety but she was like who cares so they said she'll care when she goes to the hospital and her response was who cares because it's not like she's going to pay for it so her friends responded with but her parents will.  It's important to think of safety because you never know especially when you're speeding down and someone runs into you.  Anyways, this noob video can make anyone's day but then again any video with anyone getting hurt or making a complete fool of themselves is hilarious.

I hate it when people freaking loiter or sit around in front of the lift where you get off from the chair lift because they are in the freaking damn way!  If you fall down then move your ass out of the way or get run over!  It's simple as that.  People need room to board down a little after getting off the chair.  Freaking dumb nubs.  I didn't get any bruises from attempting any jumps on the ramps but I did get some pretty bad bruises from the nubcakes standing in the way in front of the lifts unloading area because of them I fell down on my bindings which freaking hurts.  I have a bad one of my right shin and a really bad one on the back of my right thigh.  It's still not as bad as the other bruise that I got on the back of my thigh from Mammoth but still bad enough.  So with that being said, move out of the damn way!

Remember playing that when you were young?

The first time I ever went snowboarding was at Mt High and it was pretty much crap.  Finally after so many years, I finally went back and will probably never ever go back there ever again.  The parking was so insane because there's hardly any parking spaces and the snow plow man didn't plow enough snow so you can park on the side of the highway.  So on Saturday, we left at 7 AM and a 30 minute drive to the resort turned out to be 4 hours because it was just that packed especially since they had fresh powder snow!  After we spent the time trying to get up there and digging snow out from under the car and trying to get unstuck from the snow, my brothers decided to just give up and head back...minutes later my friend texted me that they opened new spots to park.  God damn it!  So we tried again on Sunday and this time left at 6 AM and even then the first park's parking lot was already full.  The fresh powder snow was all gone so it was just compact powder which was okay but I wanted to try doing jumps and fresh powder would have been a great cushion.  Although Sunday was less crowded, it was still too crowded for my taste because I am used to less people and way bigger resorts.  I did see some interesting things there though but not enough to ever want to come back for more.  I saw a guy in a trench coat with a matching fedora hat hitting the slopes, a boarder wearing boxing gloves, a midget boarding, the most amount of black people on the slopes ever, random jerks throwing snowballs at random people passing by, and a ghetto trailer trash fight, which was pretty pathetic because they were beating up on much younger kids and hitting from behind the back.  I did catch the fight on film so I will post that some other time.  I did try doing jumps but ate it a few times because it was so crowded that people just get in your damn way.  Mt High people just don't have any courtesy.  Random people hit my board so many times and didn't even give a heads up or a simple sorry.  I will never go boarding alongside Walmart shoppers again, they're just too damn ghetto.

Squirtle!

So last weekend my siblings and pose spent the weekend at Big Bear, but unfortunately for us the real snow fall didn't occur until that night we left.  Holy moly and now there is butt loads of fresh snow due to the rain storm!  Now everyone is tempted to go again this weekend!  I'm tempted to go again but my arm is still bruised from getting hit by one of the pose's board.  *Shakes fist*  It's always fun to board in fresh snow because you can go crazy and fly like superman and still come out perfectly fine. 

Yes!
