" it's a matter of professional integrity, no girl wants to marry a doctor who can't tell if a man is dead or not!"

I love to snowboard. I really really love to snowboard. I guess it could be said that I have an unhealthy addiction to it. Actually no addiction is healthy but that isn't  the point. Given that I got back from my mission last september and basically didn't have money or gear to ride last year, this is my first year back.

Now, while I knew that the actual basics of riding would come back I knew that doing jumps and rails would take a while to come back to me.
Did that stop me?
NO! Me real smart!

In the three times I have ridden this year I have managed to mess myself up each time. Each time it happens Michelle gets closer and closer to revoking my snowboarding rights. If that happens and my sports watching rights get taken away too, I am a dead man. Life will be filled the bachelor and cupcake wars...wow life couln't be any better right? umm..no answer.

So I would like to talk about my most recent epic fail of snowboarding. Today I went to the Canyons with Paul one of the guys I work with. To be honest this Winter hasn't been the best, so there isn't alot of snow. So we spent most of the day in the park. On one run I approached a rainbow box that connects to a down box. As I rode over the rainbox box all was well until I got to the end of the down box and slipped off my toes. Face meet snow, hard snow! Luckily I didn't lose any teeth like I thought. But I did get a few cuts. And you want to know what the first thing michelle said to me when I told her what happened? " Well maybe you shouldn't be an idiot and then could not get hurt." how compassionate huh?

THAT'S RUDE DUDE!

This is an 81 Honda. How dare you!

It seems that there are many people out there that I am close to that love to blog. The problem is that I just so happen to be close to them. You might ask yourself  "Why is this a problem?". Well if you think about it what do people blog about? interesting stuff in thier lives. Well if you happen to be close to me you will most likely end up posting about me, because you could say that I am...interesting. I consulted a lovely dictionary to find synonyms to the word interesting. some of the words were:

• arresting
• captivating
• consuming
• engrossing

The problem I see here is that these are not the words I would use when I know someone who is "interesting". these are some better examples, sorry webster!

• weird
• strange
• slow in the head
• a retard ( think of the hangover)

Yes, I realize these are words anybody close to me would use to describe me. I have proof and you can find it on these blog's Michelle's Blog and Natalie's blog. I'm sure there are many others from random people I have met. I would imagine thier post starts out like this "So I ran into this guy today, what an idiot!".

In essence, I would not like this blog to be about proving that I'm not a moron, just showing my side of the story. Maybe we can all walk away with a few laughs. All I care is that you don't have to walk away saying, "that's rude dude!"
