Went snowboarding today with the GF (Not smoothie). It was a really good time, I regret not having gone more these past years. The last time i went was maybe the summer after 8th grade. I can still shred the snow pretty hard (Must be the Norwegian coming through), and all the runs seemed pretty solid. Granted I spent most the day working with liz (Her first time on the slopes), but I was still able to cut loose a few times. Worked on my switch ride alot, as i was following liz down the mountain. The mountain, or as much of a mountain you can find in southern Wisconsin, was about a 45 minute ride from home. Snow conditions were all artificial, but it was still a great time. Lift tickets were buy one get one free and lasted all day, and I only had to rent liz gear and myself boots because I used my brothers board.

Had a session with URRic yesterday night. Good session. I hit spinning pdox blender first try both sides... though i could not hit it again after that on my next two attempts. Had some decent runs with barrages and paradons, and double legovers. My intoout double was very consistent and has been for a few weeks now. My out to in, I was able to link in a few runs yesterday.

I'm feeling very healthy, and capable of anything and everything. Hoping to have more sessions this week as well as play some waterpolo with the highschoolers. Weather is getting nice, and I think I will get serious about skateboarding. Maybe URRRRRRRRic will join me. Who knows?

Our friend steve has a birthday around now, and we went out for burgers and beers. I'm all hopped up on hops(voice cracking as said) lately, and have tried many different types of beers this past week. I'm a big fan of the porter (or the dark beer that was on tap at the burger joint that i think is called porter.)

Hopefully I will Have a new laboratory job this summer. I'm really excited about it. I might be a beekeeper.

Reid you're stupid because you always misspell words on purpose because you think it makes you seem cool. That's stupid. Not cool.

2 hour session today with Reid and a few hacky slackers. We used a sandblaster bag the entire time and it was excellent.

why you being a d-bag eric? I misspell words because I misspell words and could care less if they are spelled right or not. You're stupid for pointing out peoples mistakes and then eating your own turds, sorry i meant words. Oh wait... No i meant turds.


Good sesh today with eric. Eric had some solid runs. I saw him do a 38 contact run followed by a mid 20 something run right away. My game was ok, I had a better solo session the night before.

I've been playing. PS whirls are coming along. Got to run to Eric's show. Hopefully after this he will be able to shred a bunch with me.

Light session with eric the other day. Stepping ducking clipper times four again. 13 contacts of "the drill" on one side 11 contacts on the other. Some good runs. Eric needs new shoes.

Your graduation must be coming up. Congratulations in advance!

What are you doing after graduation? And are you tired of people asking what you're doing after graduation yet?

thanks for the congrats. I'm graduating this weekend. As of right now I have no concrete idea of what I'm doing. I'm planning on staying down in Urbana for a year working, and then going to grad school or med school. This all depends on where I find myself in the next few months. I'm coming home for a few days after graduation. We should shred.

I have leopard geckos, and Have been getting several fertilized eggs that I'm attempting to hatch. Any interested people in baby leopard geckos contact me, and depending on successful hatches or not you might get one.

So Reid's been shredding a lot and his game has gotten ridiculous. Super consistent with some nice difficult links. A video should be made. Maybe I'll do it if I acquire the technological ability/know-how.

He still won't hit the drill though. Not enough endurance/consistency, I'm sure of it. I'll start practicing and still hit it before him hahaha :twisted:

Grad school you say? Where? I was not informed of this.
