Colorado update

Hello everyone.
I havent been to active in posting lately, but then again not too many people have posted replies or made any requests. Anyway, I decided to post and give an update on the whole Colorado life.

Happenings
This morning I went to a ski swqp, and ended up buying a new snowboard, bindings, and boots. The board itself isnt that great, it is a 5150 Hemi, the bindings are red Ride LS bindings, and the boots are Burton Shaun Whites boots. The boots are just as expensive as the board and the bindings, but I still was able to get all of the above for around $370. I am looking forward to snow out on the mountains and real snowboarding. If anyone wants to come out before December 20 let me know.

Now when everyone asks me what I have been up to, my normal response is "working". I have been working normally around 40 hours a week, but the past couple weeks I took a sick day and left early another day. I just got the news that my hours are going to be cut back to around 30 hours a week since the amount of working is getting less. I would actualy prefer to work more to save up more money, but oh well. Anyway work is work. I dont mind what I do, somethings i find really interesting, some a bit tedious.

Other happenings lately involve going camping and site seeing this past weekend. If you visit my picture site you will see some of the pics. Too bad my site doesnt show them in full resolution. Yea, we camped around 10,000 feet above sea level. It got pretty fucking cold. Woke up and tent was well covered in frost. Somehow it was still fun.

Lately I have been a little sidelined by a hip injury, but I am starting to recover from that. Still a bit stiff feeling. As long as it is fully healed when it snows i will be happy. Just as that starts to feel better, I think I am catching the cold or something. My body has been getting really tired easily, I've been sleeping poorly, and have had an almost constant headache for a while. After walking a ways or any exercising (which i hardly exercise) I get all light headed and dizzy to the point where I about black out. My ears also feel like they pop when that happens. I know the air is thinner, but that hasnt really happened to me at all until now.

Plans
August 24-28: go to Vegas (I still need to buy my tickets, I should have bought them on impulse at first thought would have saved a lot of money).
December 15: Last day of working out here
December 20ish: Start the Drive back to Michigan
January-May: finish last semester of college
may-june: vacation if i have enough money. Australia, and Europe tour.
July 4: Drink out of a flask and drink in a parked car
I am not going further than that, and if you have some plans i need to add in there, let me know.

Well this is a long enough post, it helps to make up for lost time of posting and give me a bit of time till the next one, so Peace!
