Stephan, my long-lost foreign exchange student taught me to appreciate the sun.

It snowed pretty good today. Lemme check... Yep, 3 feet in 24 hours.
Sierra Summit was flipping closed today... Gosh... Anyway. Happy New Year to all and to all a good night.

I was thinking about it today, and I came to this conclusion. I don't steal all my music, I only steal music from the artists I respect less.
Nyssa took me to see The Life Aquatic last night and it was awesome! If you liked The Royal Tennenbaums you'd love this one! Billy Murray is freakin' hilarious in this movie. Go see it with your grandma and get back to me...

Yesterday was the most perfect snowboarding at Sierra Summit. There was minimal crowds and it snowed all day. Every time we went down a run there was fresh powder. It was just so nice. Thanks for coming Nyssa, I had a blast.

J'Aikens and Blake... Don't worry they're only cigars.
Dude. Snowboarding tomorrow!!! Yay! Me and my buddy Nyssa are hittin' the slopes. The funny thing is the last time we went together it snowed all day and it's supposed to snow all day tomorrow. Haha. We've both upgraded our gear since then so we'll see how this trip turns out. Anyway... I hope all of you Visalians are doing well. Oh and if we get split up, meet at Midway at 12.

The only thing I put on my list was a pogo-stick. I must have been a bad boy because I definitely did not get it. I mean ouch. If that was the only gift I got, I would be stoked but I guess there is a naughty list and I must be on it. Well I'm bored out of my mind and no one's home so I'm gonna go watch spongebob by myself. Merry Christmas.
Merry Flippin' Christmas... Gosh!

I'm so freakin' crazy!
Snowboarding anyone, I'm in town a day early. Anyone, anyone at all?

The Summit was awesome yesterday. I skied with JoshA, Kelly from work, and my old buddy Roxanne. It was seriously so much fun. Today, I've gotta go back up and meet my family today. The only reason I'm down here is because I had to work until 11 last night. Gosh... I miss everyone that's gone right now. I'll be back like Tuesday I think. Yay.

Farewell Nyssa... (tear)
Thursday, December 16, 2004
Went up to the hill today with Matthew. It was such a perfect day. I hit my first rail today (3 times) and they built a spine in the park. There was literally no more than 10 people in sight at all times. There was NO ONE THERE! I hurt my hip though and it ended our day like 2 hours early but we got so much time in. It would have been perfect if Will was there. I love you Will.

Ok people... What's so good about today? I'll tell you what's so good... Only 2 more finals and I'm home free!!! Literally, I'll be free from Visalia and up to the hill all the time. I won't forget to post though. I'll post pictures of my winter and probably just ramble about how much I love snowboarding. Have a wonderful day everyone.

Matthew's back!!!

Matthew's coming home today!!!
Nice surprise tonight. I got off of work early so I got to hang with my buddies. Snowboarding wen't well. I can't wait to get back up there. Hey every one, I work from Open-1:30 tomorrow at Sport Chalet. Bring in your boards or skiis and get the Josh's Secret Grind. Haha! Seriously, I have my own secret grind.

Going skiiing with this dude from Whitney by the name of Jacob. He's someone I've never really talked to but hey, snowboarding's snowboarding and he actually seems nice enough. I'm so excited to get up there. That's why I need to go to sleep right now. Goodnight y'all. Oh and sorry to peeps that can't go tomorrow: Nyssa, Will, Bry, etc... I won't have too much fun, don't worry.

Tonight was seriously the first night my dad has ever said anything to me about my phone bill. I never knew how much it was. I guess I've been running it up over 300 bucks on average. I suck. I feel horrible. My night minutes don't start 'till 9:00 and I don't have any free texting. I need to be more cautious with the use of my phone. I'm so rude. Arg I could bite myself.
Ok. I made my 7th purchase from Burton tonight. I think I'm done for the season. You guys, we need to start a BA group in Visalia... "Hi my name's Joshua, and I'm a Burtonaholic." Tonight was seriously the 4th proform I ordered from. I need to stop. Anyway. Snow anyone? I'm going tomorrow. Call me... Last chance! If not, sleep well and have fun at school.

Today is going much better. Sorry to bring you guys down like that. Today is going so well, that I think I will introduce a new surprise to you. If you look back in the archives to December of 2002 you might find the pre-existence of something spectacular called the Bearded Hit Squad. That's right, we're bringin' it back with a, 'NEW STYLE! BUT THAT SAME GREAT TASTE!' You can check it out at The Bearded Hit Squad.blogspot.com. Or email us at BeardedHitSquad@googlegroups.com. Or just post your snowy comments at http://groups-beta.google.com/group/BeardedHitSquad. Thanks!

I woke up at a place called rock bottom. It's weird. I don't think I've ever really been here before. I didn't make it to work, but thanks anyway if you prayed.
Kinda stressed tonight. Can't sleep. I've got work at 8:00 AM. That's a little less than 5 hours from now. Pray for me.

If you're a hot boy and you want to know what's up with Will, Joshua, and Matthew, (once he gets back from big college) then subscribe to The Bearded Hit Squad! We're posting big snow dates, big trip dates, empty seats in cars, and possibly asking for rides. If you wanna know when these Goobers are on the hill, subscribe... NOW!
Just scroll to the bottom of my page and enter your email addy. It'll be awesome.

I know I know, it's just one more picture to cloud up my webpage. But this is the only thing I asked my parents for this Christmas. The Flybar was developed by one of my childhood heros, Andy Macdonald. I know I'm getting old so what drives me to play with stupid toys like this? Anyway, the Flybar is capable of launching a 200 pound rider close to 6 feet in the air. You know that's cool. All you other people who still love toys should rethink asking for that new car stereo or set of new rims. Forget about image, let's all get Flybars and bounce down the street like Goobers. We could seriously make a gang of people with pogo sticks. It would be awesome!

The sky from Court street at 6:30 AM yesterday. We watched it change from pink and blue to so many colors on the way up to the hill.
Happy Birthday Nyssa!!!
I stayed up until now to be the very first person to tell you Happy Birthday on your birthday! I hope I beat the rest of them... I guess you can confirm my accomplishment later. Smiles!

Will's still layed up so I'm going boarding with some buddies from work and their girlfriends. I'll be kinda like a fifth wheel up on the mountain, but that's ok. I'll just be a really fast fifth wheel and roll on my own. Yippee for snow eh? Pray for our drive up and back. Thanks.
Saturday, December 04, 2004
Will's freaking deadly scar baby...
Not going up to the hill today cuz I don't have anyone to go with. There are a bunch of people from work going up tomorrow and I will probably go but I will still be driving up by myself. It sucks, all my diehard buddies are gone or have broken bones. I need to go so bad. Arg.

Here it is
Wow. Blogger just wasn't letting me post but I think it's gonna work this time, so here I go: My buddy Josh Powell's stuff came in today. He came over and we put his board together and sat on our butts. I hope to go snowboarding with him and buddies from work on Sunday.
In other news: Nyssa's gone all weekend but I can't be too grumpy cuz it's for a good cause. I would be dragging her up to the mountain on Saturday if she were here but I guess I'll just drag you up some other time Goober.
Oh yeah! So how many people out there really know what a goober is. Don't go look it up! Think about it for a second, and when you realize that you have no idea, read on... It's Southern slang for a peanut. What the heck!? I'd never heard that before.
Oh yeah, and you know how I said I was gonna cut my hawk off? I didn't, I just dyed it black. GAY!

Weird but good day. I figured a lot of things out. Got a new rental car. Now I'm driving a GMC Yukon. I don't know why they took my Kia Rio but hey, which would you choose? Yeah, I thought so.
