GT40 needs love.

**phUnk** · 10-16-2003, 11:08 PM

GT, missed you this summer.

Can't wait to make turns with you at the Basin!

I'll even let you have first tracks down the Fingers.

**Billow** · 10-17-2003, 02:23 AM

Hope all becomes positive, thinking encouraging feelings.

**MacDaddy** · 10-17-2003, 10:07 AM

I've got my mom saying some Rosaries for you GT

get well soon, you have 5 weeks till we ride again maybe/hopefully sooner

**Foggy_Goggles** · 10-18-2003, 12:29 AM

I toast my 40 to GT40

**GT40** · 10-21-2003, 12:51 PM

Why does GT need love??? Well wife #1 found out about my other wives #2 & #3. Both of whom are 30 years younger than her. So #1 tries to have me done in, by putting out a contract with the Mormon hit squad. They almost got me before I fled to the safety of Las Vegas. (they didn’t dare go in there) Now #2&#3 have decided they are getting along pretty well without me, so they don’t want me back either. I got no where to go. If I email you during my wandering about the country, maybe you can offer me a couch for a day or two.

Actually it was all about depression. The GT40 who always has a smile on his face has been fighting the symptoms of depression for many years. Most of the time, I can boot strap OK. I’m sure that if I was out skiing each day now, I’d be doing OK. Just got to keep the seritonin level up.

Thanks to all of you for your love, prayers, and kind words. Most of you are some kind of perverts, but you’re NICE perverts. I love you guys too.

I have know idea if I have any good karma coming my way but if I do let it be known right here that I forward it to you !

**iceman** · 10-21-2003, 12:58 PM

Not me - i'm just a pervert.

Hang in there. It must be rough being depressed and not being able to drink, that's how I deal with it.

**DJSapp** · 10-21-2003, 12:58 PM

GT40, if your wanderings bring you to Sacramento, I'll buy the first round of whatever you want. The snow is coming to help fight those inner-demons in all of us. We'll help in whatever way we can to get you through it.

**Pinner** · 10-21-2003, 01:01 PM

That HAS to be the most surreal shit that's EVER gone down in Maggot lore!!!

Porter fucking Rockwell alive and well in the West Desert!

Maybe you and splat should cruise the highways and whorehouses of the West together.

**Buzzworthy** · 10-21-2003, 01:02 PM

GT, we have more in common than you know. Depression can make life a living hell, but the help I have gotten has put my world into a different perspective, a better perspective.

Having a psychologist for a wife does not hurt either. (Well, sometimes

)

There are many people in this same boat. The trick is to do your best not to let it sink or even take on water.

Nothing cures my sometimes depressed self like a GOOD SNOWFALL, SO START SHAKIN' THE JUNK IN THE TRUNK!!!!

{Buzz does a snowdance}

Glad things seems to be on the up swing, Dr. GT40.

edit: I'm not ashamed anymore to say this too. And that has taken years. You are already ahead of the game.

GT, good to know you're a-OK and managed to get through this latest bout.

Depression's nothing to sneeze at.

Look forward to meeting you this winter!

**lph** · 10-21-2003, 01:11 PM

Glad to have you back!!!

Nice to see that even through depression you can laugh at yourself.

Not an easy place to be.

Thank goodness for medicine and all the wonderful new drugs!

Word.

Depression has a long and painful history in my family and in my life. There is no logic to it. Every day out under the open sky away from the cares and distractions is a blessing to me and keeps me focused on the good.

Here's to GT40! May the snows come soon, and all our cares stay where they belong.

Really. I'm just staying put. I've got classes I'm taking in Photoshop and also digital video editing. Hope to turn out some better quality stuff this year. But if Utah is missing the storms this year, I'm travling more.

WHAT, WHAT, WHAT......I can't hear you!!!!

Will someone talk to this man, he has learned to talk jiberish and this needs fixed right away.

Now, if we all just do a snowdance once per day, we should have it covered (pun intended).

BOOGIE TIME, NOW DANCE!!!!!

One night a man had a dream.
He dreamed he was walking along the beach with the Magots.

Accross the sky flashed scenes from his life.
For each scene he noticed 2 sets of footprints in the sand: one belonging to him and the other belonging to the Magot collective.

When the last scene of his life flashed before him, he looked back at the footprints in the sand.

He noticed that many times along the path of his life there was only 1 set of footprints.

This really bothered him and he questioned the Magots about it.

"Magots", you said that once I decided to follow you, you'd walk with me all the way. But I have noticed durning the most troblesome times in my life, there is only 1 set of footprints. I don't understand why when I needed you the most you would leave me.

------------------------ THE MAGOTS REPLIED ----------------------

Our son, our prexious child,
We love you and we would never leave you.
During your time of trial and surrering,
when you see only one set of footprints,
it was then that we carried you.

**iceman** · 10-21-2003, 01:34 PM

How do all the maggots leave just one set of footprints?

**phUnk** · 10-21-2003, 01:34 PM

Alright GT40, I wasn't going to do this, but MD9 begged me to...

If it will make you feel any better, I guess I could let you photograph me this winter.

Who loves ya baby!

**sluffhunter** · 10-21-2003, 01:38 PM

When I finally get back to skiing. (Please, please,please)
I will be leaving one set of ski tracks, but the Magot collective will be skiing there with me.

GT,

First off, I wasn’t going to post this here but, sometimes you just gotta say WTF! (This really hits home with me)

We don’t really know each other, missed out on a couple opps at Hood the last couple summers but, I’ve been where you are at. Most likely will be again at some point in the future. It’s something that is constantly with you and it never really goes away.

I’ve dealt with it for probably 25 years, didn’t realize it up until the last few though. Things can and will get better, even though it seems at times that things get amplified, magnified and compounded. I’m not an expert by any means and even the people who are in “the profession” don’t always have the answers. All I can really suggest is to find what works for you and don’t give up trying until you find “it”. Use all your resources; family, friends, even internet wacko/pervs. People as a whole are good and... people do care

Best of luck man

The first Maggot was post-holing and everyone else was smart enough to follow along in his steps.

**GT40** · 10-21-2003, 02:15 PM

Sluffhunter. It would be just like me to try and break a new trail, while the rest of the maggots are boot packing to the top.

Phunk, I thought you were saving yourself for Powho? It would be cool to cover some more angles like we did at Humpty and Flagstaff.

Hey Buzz, I haven't got any action shots of you yet. Is this the year?

Heh, that's exactly what I was thinking when I saw Nate's rerply, but I thought I'd keep my mouth shut for once.

Heh. It takes one to know one. Drop me an email at pow4drcrash [at] hotmales [dawt] con (or holler here, I check that more often) if you, MD9, or MOE get near Redmond/Seattle. Drinks on me.
