and we am back

so it's a new year. i remember being in elementary school and getting annoyed every year at having to get used to writing a new year on every paper that i would turn into the teacher (and by turn into, i literally mean just so. i could morph my papers into teachers, though i've since lost the ability).

i went snowboarding in slovakia over the holidays - a brilliant trip. here are PHOTOS . imagine snow six feet deep on the side of the road and over 20 feet deep on the mountain...i've never even imagined snow like that. on the mountain range we were on, there was one particular mountain that sloped into slovakia on one side and poland on the other...now i can technically say i've snowboared in 3 countries..

i've neglected putting up pictures of my vacation on the cote d'azure until now, but here are the PHOTOS if you're interested.

i also hear kids getting pushed around back in the heartland....good buddy if you need me to put a chalupa sign on someone's car and pee in their bushes, by god i'll fly home and take care of that for you. after all, you once shared your becks with me straight out of the freezer at your parent's home. gifts of kindness like that ain't soon forgotten.

how many times do i need to click on a banner at your website before you can buy him a happy meal on behalf of me?
