Kicked the season off perfectly this weekend. We ended up skiing Apline Meadows. This season is going to be great, I'm planning on going as much as I can. I honestly just love it. I always forget about how much fun riding truly is.
Happy Halloween everyone! Big thanks to my buddies Will and Bry for caring about me and hanging out with me.
Everyone is beautiful... Remember that. Every person will have at least one thing that you can benefit from. Spread your love and love will come back to you.

It's been a long week. It's been tough as well. Tomorrow will be an adventure. It's just me and Will going up to Tahoe tomorrow. It should be like a 6-8 hour drive. I'm excited.
Everyone, wish me luck. I'll post pics when I get back on Sunday.

After a long day of dancing.



Maddy and Carl waiting for A-Bomb and TayMan.



Carlee Ann getting ready for the Harvest dance.


The world is full of beautiful deserving people. This is what I want to hear from God every day. I don't think I hear it anymore because I don't really listen. I do recall a time when I did hear it. Can you imagine? Being constantly reminded by God almighty that the world we live in is full of beautiful deserving people. It seriously changes your perspective on things.

I think I just gotta open up again. I need to be free amongst his world. I think this weekend will really open my mind. I'm going snowboarding with Matthew, Will and Carlee Ann up near Tahoe. I just want to be there and experience the snow and the sky and the people and EVERYTHING!

I'm dealing a little better today. It went by SO slow. My mom helped me cut my hair today, it's so ugly and messed up. I feel so dumb, I guess it suits me though. Dumb.

"Why do I fall in love with every girl that gives me the least bit of attention?"


I slept so well last night. It was the first time in a long time that I woke up remembering what I dreamed about. I had a dream about my old friend Sarian. We we're going to some St. Paul's School reunion and she was there. The funniest thing is, I watched Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind with A-Bomb, Carl, and KG last night. The movie's all about these two people getting eachother erased from their memory. But the funny thing is, your memory of someone is really acually you. When I dreamt of Sarian, all of our actions and words were put together in my own head. That image of Sarian has become part of me. It's cool to know that even though she moved away 4 years ago, she's made that impact on my mind. Wow that's a weird idea.

I made $70 in the yard sale today. Will, Bry and I sold so much junk. 70 bucks geese! I thought I'd make like 30. It feels pretty good, I think I'll have yard sales more often.

The wedding's today. Yay!

I just watched a movie on We with Jodi Foster. It's called Nell. Sooo good. It makes you think about the world around us and what's really important.


So lonely, so bored. I have nothing to do during the day. I took my bike out this morning after class and the flat that I didn't want to believe was a flat went flat. I had to pump it up with my hand pump over by walgreens and once again by Whitendale. Bored once again. I think I'm just gonna sleep a lot. I've recently become very good at that.

This picture seemed fitting for the situation. (Blake and Josh A.)


Josh leaves for the Army again today. I already miss him. We just got home from his house. He, Will and I had a nice good-bye. That guy rocks. He never gets pissed about anything. I wish I had some of his qualities.

Superman is dead. It's so sad. I would never wish his condition on anyone. That man had it hard.

My instruction manual states the following:
Congratulations on purchasing your very own Joshua. First off, Joshua does not socialize well. He is not incapable of understanding the concept of independence. Because of this feature, he may seem shady and uncaring. It's not true, you just have to spend some more time with your Joshua.

I'm watching you.



Gosh winter, you're so slow. I've known you for 18 years now; can we please not make this the last?


I dunno about you all, but I had no idea that tuna contains significant amounts of mercury. The FDA recently suggested that eating more than 6 oz. a week can cause brain damage in young children and can cause defects with pregnancies. Well what if you're Joshua and you eat like 20+ oz. a week?! Huh? What then?


It pisses me off. I wish tuna didn't have mercury in it. God intended it to be a good source of protien and energy. Then we gotta go polute the waters with mercury. Make sure you're not in danger at gotmercury.com.

It looks like I'm gonna have a lot of photos up from now on. I dunno if that's gonna bug anyone or really make anyone happy. But they'll be here. I think it's cool to show friends and family what's going on around me. I like to think that they care.

More than 30 days until Mammoth Mountain opens. Gosh, I hope my parents let Will and I drive up there. It would be so cool to go on opening day but then again, it might not be. Haha. ARG I wanna go so bad!

I WANT TO SNOWBOARD SO BAD!!!!

Sunday, October 03, 2004


Sometimes I wonder if I'll ever run out of things to get in trouble for. Am I forever doomed to be caught in the wrong? I hope not.



This is my buddy A-Bomb (alex)


I went to the Saturday night service at the Methodist yesterday. I really liked it too. I've been a couple times. I guess I've been between churches for a long time now, and I don't think that there's anything wrong with that. I do like the Neighborhood, but I haven't really been to a regular service there yet. Clay says they rock, I should go. For now, I want to make sure I at least go to Saturday nights at the Methodist. Ever since the new pastor arrived, it just hasn't been the same. I don't know him personally and I've only been to like two of his services. It's weird because I feel guilty about it, but I don't know if I should. Was it my fault that I left and feel somewhat astray? I don't know. Maybe I just need Bible study again. That really rocked. Gosh! (said like Napoleon)

This segment is called:
WE MISS MATTHEW


watch it Carl!



bros



jumping



Gnarly 3 footers man



Whenever I was grumpy, he always cheered me up with a song.



Huck Finn?



MSL is... missed.



Blair Witch?



Ok. So I finally figured out my photo posting solution. Thanks to all who let me bug them on AIM, (usually at 1:00 AM) for being my test dummies.


I'm so excited! I have one 50 min. class this morning then NOTHING the rest of the day. I love life sometimes. Everyone please have a great weekend. Oh, and if someone yells at you with a megaphone, don't get all pissed off. We do it to be silly and hope that you laugh instead of cry.


I'm walking through the mall then casually enter On Shore and BAM!!! This dude goes, "Josh, what size shirt do you wear?" I say, "Small" and he's like, "Here's a shirt, it's my buddies' new Wakeboarding Co. I was like cool, free duds, and didn't think much of it. Weeks later, I get to talking with some guys in my accounting class. They're arguing about something after class at their desks. I walked over and was like, "What are y'all talking about?" They're like, "Oh, work." Work soon turned out to be a mutually owned screen printing business. Long story short, they offer up their web address: SwitchAuthority.com. So I'm like, wow, I got this shirt from a dude at OnShore not too long ago.
Wow factor: 5.5

Anyway, I needed someway to introduce them here on my blog, and I guess this cheesy story turned out to be it. Buy their stuff. Locals love locals, remember?
