there are days that I just don’t feel like I am up to par with the rest of the world…

*sigh*

I hope it’ll be better tomorrow.

On the other hand…

This weekend will be fun again: [T]RAMP CAMP will be on again and I can’t wait to be snowboarding in NYC in Summer!

Goodbye Winter, Hello Summer

Winter is over. I managed to get 62 days ON SNOW, meaning, I have been on a chairlift/ gondola on 62 different days this season. I realized that I’ll most likely won’t go pro any day soon. hehehe…. I did South Shore Soldiers for both sessions and it was a sad show. I just can’t seem to catch air and the times that I do… well… I blank out. I probably keep my eyes closed and think of the Queen of Holland. No air awareness whatsoever. I suck… it was the definition of insanity: doing the same thing over and over… expecting a different result.

Besides the fact that I got sick with the flu twice [first time at SIA and the second time right after Soldiers] I can consider myself pretty fortunate that my only ’snowboard related’ injuries consisted of :

  • 2 mild concussions [Killington + Stratton]
  • a deviated tailbone [got a lefty now]
  • a neck that shows the classic shape of someone who had a whiplash [the chiro asked me if I had endured any kind of trauma to the neck/ head over the last couple of weeks... the chiro loves me hehe]

So now that Winter is officially over in my book… what will be the plan of action for Summer??

I got invited for TRAMP CAMP, starting June. Tramp Camp is done by some of the guys of the NYSG and consists of a huge trampoline, lots of beers, a grill and a couple of boxes/ fake snow. This will be a good way to get some well needed air awareness… the beers will def. help!

I also want to pick up skating again, as I pretty much haven’t touched it for the whole Winter. I mean, why would I risk getting injured on concrete while I can get injured on snow?? It’s time to whip out Mr. Dan Mc.Farlane’s ‘Skateboarding Explained’ DVD again.

I started my diet/ work out regime again and I am proud to say that I am at 124 pounds now and I intend to eat healthy and visit my gym on a daily basis. I want to get fit, lean and mean hehehe.

Oh, today I am meeting with my ‘4 hour workweek’ support group. I am pretty happy to say that I have been applying most of what the books says for the last year, I am just ready to find a way to actually do something in those four hours that will generate some income to fund my rest of the week activities!

Oh, been surfing for the first time ever!
