Dear Brian. you are bad at jibbing and no amount of hits from your (awesome) rome snowboards flask will change that. please stop banging me on things just because the snow is shitty.

sincerely,
your right knee.


p.s. your left shoulder says "FUCK YOU", in case your lack of mobility in that arm wasn't enough
p.p.s. your frontside airs, backside airs, and wall rides are...

That game was TERRIBLE. Defense turnovers and shady goaltending. whatever

agreed. they really need to figure out how to play hockey in the 2nd period. i don't think they could've played a worse 20 minutes. The outing was fun though. We opened the bar at 10:30am and started drinking. my buddy who is a huge hockey fan was bartending so it was perfect. at about 1:15 and slightly buzzed we headed for vails terrain park to do some slushy park runs.

i've always hated the double standard in the restaurant business about being sick. and you, the public(or the 3 to 4 people that read my blog) should probably know this. calling in sick is a huge taboo. a sick day does not exist. In my 8 years as a professional cook i've called in one time, food poisoning. Even was at work at 10am the...
