capita

I ordered this beast last night. I can’t wait for it to get here! 159.5cm long, wide with a 26cm waist. The specs are beyond anything I’ve owned before, so this is potentially _my_ snowboard for years to come.

Fucking sick graphics.

Ominous

This turned out pretty good.

Two four!

Beer!

Last night a few of my friends and my neighbor came over and we drank for 6-8 hours or so; people came and went in that range. Much fun. Turns out I can’t focus my camera after I drink over 12 beer. I’ll just have to try harder next time hah!

The Not Knowing

It’s a song by Tindersticks. It’s written for what I’m going through. Holy shit it’s good with alcohol.

I’m feeling pretty low

My last year with my girlfriend has been tough, on her and on me for very different reasons. We were generally very much in love, but I made mistakes like anyone eventually does but at a scale I just never imagined. Fast forward, I get hit by a car. It pretty much slows down our physical relationship, which is something I disliked very much. However, being a man you never talk about this shit, right? Well, that kind of brilliant thinking leads to distance, and distance leads to lack of communication, which is fine by me when I’m in constant pain and always bitchy. Right? Holy fuck. Could there be a worse scenario for someone with my kind of personality and affection for marijuana.

I ended up passing on important events due to discomfort; I thought “Who’d want me there? I’d be a grouch.” The obvious answer is my girlfriend.

Long story short, my recovery period was also a murder period. While I tried to heal, I put the death blows to my relationship and didn’t even see it.

She says this is a period of distance so she can focus on school, and I think if that’s how unhappy she is; if I affect her in such a way by simply being present then of course it’s for the best. It just seemed too random, and in time with her friend showing up who went through a similar series of events not too long ago. I can’t help but feel that influence was one of the final nails in the coffin that I was trying to crawl out of with one healing shoulder and a lot of regret.

I was just too late.

However, not to be too emo some funny shit did occur somewhat like the following but it was much funnier as it happened. Sitting in a circle with friends getting high…

(10:40:54 PM) _k2_: my cell is on my pocket .. it dials one of my old highschool friend
(10:41:03 PM) _k2_: he gets random voice mails of our convo
(10:41:15 PM) ***concaf gives k2 five bucks and sends him off for a robrob truck stop handjob
(10:41:18 PM) _k2_: eventually calls me back, so i just tell him what happens and he’s like “why’d you call me 4 times?”
(10:41:30 PM) _k2_: was pretty funny after that

Sometimes good things come from lack of sleep

Awake too early

Couldn’t sleep again. I decided to get a shot of the sun rise.

Gotta kill more majano

New stack

I found some tiny majano on a rock this weekend prior to changing the stack around. I need to get a syringe to inject boiling water into em; probably going to wait until tomorrow since my shoes are still soaked from riding on the weekend (big puddles on atv trails aren’t worth attempting).

He was my favorite fantasy author who captured my imagination in my early teens with his extremely large tale. I wish it was finished before he past.

I need a vacation. The last month has been emotionally draining with work and personal issues coming up unexpected; with no in between time for a small rest. It’d be nice to escape into the past and relive some good times right now; feeling a little bleak about the next few months.

The beginning of my photojournalism career?
September 13, 2007 - 1:31 pm (Photography)

One of my pictures of a large loonie was used for an article on nowpublic.com, which is pretty cool but I’m kinda embarrassed by the quality of the picture. It was from a moving truck going into some really strong head winds on an open highway, so stability was lacking. The career is on hold.
