Watching the Av's play the Kings. 0-0 in the first. Been playing alot of Final Fantasy Tactics lately. Good game. Differant. Not much for words now. Short truncated sentances. What news of me? Nothing new. Same boring life. Colorado days stretching out. Its gonna snow soon. Riding should be good. Saw an old friend of mine today, Nick Storm. Another aussie. Funny story with him. I'm sure you'e heard it. Sitting at the bar during the Salt Lake Olympics. Watching the speed skating. USA guy leads. A large pack of skaters close in. The Korean falls. The whole group goes down. The Australian who is so far back that the wreck does not affect him. He skates past. Wins the gold. The American gets up and gets Silver. Nick gloats. Calls it strategy. Rubs it in. A good laugh for us all. Av's Kings now 1-1. Tanguay scores. Good for now. Ciao...

Some great stuff has happened of late. Not only is my rewrite of hitory going well, I will soon be able to move on in my plans to begin the book that I am doing the backround for. So my post college productivity is still pretty damn high, I wonder how long it can last? With that note I also got two new guitars for a mere 100 dollars. Actually, just one, the other was a gift, but whos keeping score? I am now the proud owner of a Fender Accoustic guitar and Ibanez Bass with amp. My first actual guitars, and the new guitar smell permeates my noistrils as i inhale lovingly the fumes that the new guitars eminate. Sweden man.

With that I feel as tho I need to respond to Alex's blog (of which I still have to link to thank-you very much). www.dakane.blogspot.com if your interested in what this next section pertains to.

Alex, had I known I would have told you. I cant say that I am truly suprised by it, but believe I would hve let you know. Keebler may have spread that, but if he had, he never said peep to me about it. Remember unsubstantiated rumors can cause more damage after the fact, but as you said, not that it matters now. If Ryan said he heard it from me or Greg, I cant doubt that he had to have heard it from Greg.

And on another note, heres a little something for Ryan, dont be so disillusioned about exes and relationships, so what if the faithfulness of others has been brought into question, just remember the best qualities of your time together (not to sound so cliche on that). It sucks but thats life man, and as you say, bring it on. (not that I know anything anyway since none of my relationships have ever lasted more than a month, and I dont care to know how faithful they have been to me or not, i just want to remember what was really important, i.e. the sex, okok, and some of the other things to)

And thats it for preacher Joe, can I have an amen, halelujah, and praise be to me!

pure genious, thats right, thats me, I dont know what illicits this view of myself, but i feel as though I dont really care, so piss off

Today my one of my cousins died at Breckenridge. My thoughts go out to his imediate family, my Aunt and her son, who is his father.

Attempt two, perhaps I fixed the problem...

Here it is, a new look. It is a work in progress, but at least it is no longer a prefab template...

Attempt two of this post, yes, thats right, I had done this once already, however, my internet connection is less than reliable. Anyway...

This has been an interesting Winter Break for me, well it can hardly be called a break since I am now graduated from the Fort and I am working at the Purg full time now. But it has been interesting none-the-less. Alex my good friend who lives in Irvine is down for the break, and Keegan and myself have had a great time hanging out with him. From the first instance Alex and myself returned to my apartment and we stampeded Keegans room to the drunken affair in Cortez, now known as the 'Tez. Thank you very much for my insidious slang, which I use much to others chagrine.

Well, the night out in Cortez was interesting, in which Keegans cousin Alexa and Keegans girlfriend Sarah joined us. Our Friend Jody was there too. What a night, the drinking, the overpacked car, what can I say, it was a truly odd night. One I will never forget, but that is a differant story, one that is best saved for old age and bad memories. That was unfortunatly the last night we got to hang with Alex for a bit because he not only had the flu but left prematurely for Boulder later that week. Any way, that Friday(the day after Christmas, Boxing Day!!!!) was quite exciting, and it was a shame Alex could not enjoy it with us, but he had his own adventures in a return home to Boulder, and I will let you read his journal for those details.

So boxing day was quite the party. Keegan's cousins and sister with husband in tow were going to show up. We called Jody and he left on his way as well. In the mean time, Keegan, Sarah and myself went to eat in Durango. All I have to say about that experiance is this, any place that wishes to charge 20 dollars a plate for the crap they served needs to be put out of bussiness forovercharging. But back to the fun. We had planned to go out, but Keegan's sister and husband were underage so we stayed in and drank our cares away with various drinking games. The debauchery that followed is systamatically coming back to me in flashes of memory and scenes that were aparently not as bad as I thought, but then when you cant remember teh night you always assume the worst. Ah, Vodka and OJ, such a wonderful combination, until the next day when your stomach starts doing sommersaults and wont quite.

Well, nothing has really happened since then, but for now thats enough. My new page As the Bullwheel Turns is being put on hold while me and Jody rewrite History (thats right, rewrite, youll see). Alex is back for a couple of days, and we plan on going up to the mountain on Monday for some fresh powder riding since it has alreasy snowed 2 feet in a day. WOOT! The snow is falling and the Texans are leaving, halleluja! Peace....
