Okay- a few weeks ago I met this girl and went out with her. HAd a good time, and she was awesome- good looking, blonde, in med school, and she even skis (total gaper, but still...)
Anyway, she went home to Chicago for winter break. Today she tells me that she met somebody and has started "seriously dating" him. I got the dreaded "let's be freinds" thing.
SO I did what any self respecting maggot would do in the situation- threw the skis on top of the car, and headed up to the hill. The lyrics of Mike Ness, Kurt Cobain, Paul Westerberg, and Patterson Hood, turned up to 11, kept me from going mad.
One of the things I like about skiing is that I am completely focused when I'm on the slopes. When I'm skiing all I am concerned with is the line I'm skiing, the next jump, my form, and how to avoid that gaper 50 yards ahead of me. On the lift, all I think about is my next trick, the line I'll take through that mogul field, or how can I pull off a jib. So I decided today I would try to pull off a helicoptor.
After a lap or two through the park to check out the conditions, I sacked up and went for it. And to my surprise, I skied away on my first attempt!!! FKNA! So I tried another one- success. Feeling good, I attempted a rail. No dice.
Anyway, I managed to land about 70% of my attempts, until I brusied my ribs. I did a few more runs before deciding to call it a day. I'll live to ski another day.
Anyway- I hope you're paying attention AKPM- I'm sure you'll have lots of days like this.

You got rid of the girl who was going to screw you over, and you got a 360 out of it--more than you might've gotten.
Chin up!!
Sorry I missed you while you were upstate--hopefully we'll get some decent conditions and some turns in next time.[quote][//quote]

Being not so good with women can lead to being very good at other things. And not just masturbation.

A trick in the park you keep for life--
A chick who gapes might become your wife
(and make you go shopping at the mall on weekends instead of going skiing)

Nice post plake. I remember a time in High School when I seriously thought my world was about to implode (chick related, can't really go into details) anywho I thought for sure my life was over. It probably could've been. I couldn't even begin to think about sleeping at night. I couldn't think about anything other than this potential real life nightmare my world was about to become. That is until I clicked into my skis. Occasionally the nightmare crept back in on the lift rides up, but when I was skiing I was free. My mind went someplace else. I don't even think I was thinking about skiing. I just wasn't thinking about my girl problems.

Good for you plake.
Last night I got called and chewed out by a girl who wanted to know our "status" after evading the question for close to an hour. After that I went to bed early and skied 30" of new at beaver mountian today. I can barley remeber her name now.

"god before skiing"?
just what the hell does this mean?
