upcoming snowboarding events

±Ý¿äÀÏ ¿ÀÈÄ (ˆp°Ô): i'm exhausted.   i feel like i haven't done much 2day, but i'm exhausted.   i felt like this @ 'bout the same time yesterday!   it's weird.   i'm really worried 'bout gettin' sick cos many ppl r catchin' the flu these days.   µ¶°¨°æº¸! dokgamgyuhngbo!   it's scary.   i surely don't wanna get sick 'gain so soon after bein' sick like... uh... when was it?   rt 'round the turn'f the season, rt?   my unix server's down, so i'm having extreme difficulties w/ e.mail n' web services. *sigh*   otherwise, i'd check online to figure out when 'twas that i was last sick.   d'u 'member?   oh yah!   it started on labour day cos'f that wedding i djed!   *sigh* yah, so 'twas like 'bout a month 'go.   well, i don't wanna get sick 'gain.   i skipped taekwondo praktice last nite, i.e. i sat on the sidelines n' just watched, along w/ tiffany.   then, i went onto the mat 4 the beginner class, which i teach; but i didn't lead the main werkout.   i left that to ben n' ernest, while i just took the 3 students that r competing in Ç°»õ poomsae 2morrow n' werked on their Ç°»õ poomsae.   thus, i barely got ne exercise.

lately, the beautiful kaela hwang n' i r eatin' waaay 2 much carbs n' rn't exercisin' 'nuff!!!   that's very bad.   the most exercise i get's when i go skateboarding in the morn @ the sunnyvale skate park.   i did go 'gain 2day cos i woke up early 'nuff.   yah, definitely, that was nice.   i gave sooni a walk, managed to get kaela out the door on time, n' got to go to the sunnyvale skate park.   what more could i ask 4 in the morn?   well, my skate sesh 2day was only so.so cos - 1nce 'gain - i couldn't stick my backside 50.50 axle stalls w/ ne degree'f consistency.   'gain, i kept rollin' out onto the deck.   well; i realised that i maybe need to kind'f wind up my body n' torque msyelf into that axle stall.   sometimes, when i managed to stick the stall, i had wound up n' sometimes even drifted off @ the opposite angle 1st, b4 swingin' my body the "rt" direktion into the axle stall. *shrug* maybe that's the sekret; i dunno. *sigh*

what did i eat 4 lunch 2day?   a quizno's veggies sandwich, which was a total rip.off n' didn't fill me up.   *sigh* it's sad that these days, while not eatin' meat, both kaela n' i've noticed how our meals don't fill us up.   satiation... *sigh* wait! "satiation" or "satiety"?   i think 'tis the latter.   satiety...   cos we're not gettin' satiated w/o meat, we tend to carb load, which is extremely bad cos we're not exercisin' 'nuff.   i have a werk.com 5k next fri.   i'm not prepared @ all!   shoot! i just read the website 'bout it... in the past 'twas always in the early morn, b4 werk, so i brought sooni.   this time it's during lunch!   what the...????   well, teknically, 'tis good cos then i get to hit up the sunnyvale skate park in the morn b4 werk.   however, 'tis bad cos 1) i can't bring sooni, n' 2) we'll be exposed to the harmful sun.   *sigh* since i've been prevented from exercisin' cos'f church duties, i'm not in the best shape.   i'm worried 'bout that.   shoot, in ne case, i've gotta do it.   i always do it.   i was there 4 the 1st annual n' 2nd annual; so i must be there 4 the 3rd.   i don't expekt to do well tho'. *sigh* :-( [slightly later] ok, i signed up.

u know, lately, i've noticed more skateboarders out on the streets.   i dunno if it's simply sumpthin' like how when u have a broken bone, u notice many more ppl out there w/ broken bones.   yah, that's how it was when i broke my hand cos'f a taekwondo sparring tournament in the summer'f 1994.   lately, i've cn many more skateboarders.   well, maybe skateboarding's gettin' trendy 'gain; i dunno. &nbps; if so, then i'm kind'f happy to have caught it on an upswing n' to have gotten in @ the beginning'f the wave or whate'er, u know?   i do believe that many others r like me: adult snowboarders who'r now accepting that adults can ride skateboards.   2day, while runnin' errands 4 werk.com; i swung by kaela's skool (palmer west chiropraktic college) to pick up a sports basement ¢oupon from kaela cos i was later gonna accompany my cowerker to help him pick out a snowboard.   well, while waitin' 4 kaela; i saw this asian guy ride up on an arbor longboard w/ a helmet.   that's 'nother thing!   i've cn more ppl (mostly kids) wearing helmets while skateboarding out on the streets, not just in skate parks!   when i was a skateboarding kid, helmets were only 4 vert riding.   wow, ain't that sumpthin'?   i mean, personally, i think 'tis great; but maybe that's cos i'm an adult now.   uhm, honestly? @ the same time, i won't wear a helmet when i street skate, only when i skate in the skate park.   funny, huh?   *sigh* a bit hypocritical?   *shrug* rather, i'm feelin' "peer" pressure...   "peers"?   who'd laff @ me 13.yr olds?   @ most, i might consider wearing wrist guards while street skating; i dunno.   it's kind'f silly; but i've been avoiding street skating cos i wanna keep my bearings clean after lubin'em up so well last time.   as i sed, 'tis like ridin' a freshly waxed snowboard!

*sigh* i can't wait 4 snowboarding season to resume!   dude, i'm so mad!   i found out this afternoon that i missed out yet 'gain on the tahoe 6pac!   grr! every frickin' yr!   *sigh* in a way, i can't wait till oktober ends.   this month, i have weddings to dj n' so much church stuff to do.   i mean, heck; it should be a joy to serve the lord; but honestly, i'm burnin' out. :-(   i want oktober to end, n' then november'll start, n' it'll be snowboarding season, rt?   well, even if there isn't good snow yet in tahoe next month, there'll be 2 big bay area snowboarding events:
- icer air - a "ski and snowboard festival" in sf @ the giants stadium on 11¿ù04ÀÏ
- bay area snowboard show @ the sj convention center on 11¿ù10~12ÀÏ
i dunno; unless i'm aktually on the slopes, i'd surely like to attend both those events.   of course, the san jo snow show's easier to attend than the sf event; but both appeal to me.   i bet i could get eric johnson to go w/ me to the sf event; i dunno.

[a li'l later] inflation... ugh! i hate how the pri¢e'f stuff like fud has gone up so much lately. *sigh*

"ghetto harmonizing": so... while bay area hip.hop's called hyphy, as we all know; the hip.hop that gets mtv airtime's mostly southern "crunk."   well, there's this slowjam song by ciara that's been out 4 a long time now called "oh."   u know it?   it's not new.   neway, in that song, ludachris raps, "dirty south; we ballin' dawg and never think about fallin' dawg.   ghetto harmonizing, surprising, runnin' back cuz tha' song is called..." then, ciara moans "oh," etc. neawy, that term... "ghetto harmonizing."   well, i'm 'bout to talk 'bout sumpthin' that isn't hip.hop but on the other end'f mtv's spektrum: this skate/surf pop/punk stuff.   groups like good charlotte, simple plan, bowling for soup... yah, they've got that harmonisin' thing goin' 2.   their songs have lots'f harmonisin'.   i wonder if it all grew out'f the beach boys era musik. *shrug*   "good, good, good, good vibrations!"
