    Oh hey strangers.

    So I felt the need to update you guys on my life a little.

    Way life consists of lately is:
    Being with friends.
    Snowboarding.
    Final preparations for moving out west.
    Working.

    Other things:
    Planning for potential Hawaiian vacation with my father.

    Not looking forward to my Best friend to move to Australia next week for the next 5 months. (I'm gonna miss her wayy too much)

    Unhappy with the lack of snow this winter has brought us for snowboarding.


    Oh, and I made a new Tumblr for snowboarding.

    Owl Mode.

    So I went to the eye doctor, and got my eyes dilated.

    Good times.

    P.S.
    Happy New Year! I spent my new year in Northern Michigan snowboarding! Hella fun! ;D

    A few of the things I got for X-mas boofers!

    1) I got my iPhone upgrade from the 4 to the 4s (white) paid for.

    2) Cologne from A&F.
    Question about this one, Ladies. If a guy was wearing this around you, would you like it? Or would you feel like you just walked into A&F? Cause I feel like a walking store if I wore it.

    3) A big ol' fancy suit case. Mostly for when I do some traveling this next year :)


    Christmas didn't seem like Christmas this year, I wish I would of snowed!
    Nonetheless, it was nice to spend it with family.

    Herrooo Boothers..

    I just got done doing some running in the hotel fitness room.

    Got myself a shower.

    Waiting to talk to my buddski Elisha on Skype.

    And watching youtube videos in the meantime.

    Such as this one, who happens to be my future wife, Gabrielle. (She just doesn't know it yet) Bahaha

    Is it too much to ask that I want a girlfriend who has an english accent, an amazing talent, and a lovely name? Didn't think so.. :)

    We're obviously excited for snowboard season.

    I hate the Midwest for this very reason.

    I have to wait and wait and wait for the good snow to come.

    I wish I was in Colorado right this very moment.
