Mammoth mountain or bust bitties...part 1


It all began on a Thursday afternoon we decided to leave the state of powder-hounds and make our way to laid back Cali. We kicked off the road trip with a delicious meal to get ourselves fueled and ready for all that awaited us at Mammoth Mountain a.k.a heaven. You see Mammoth mountain has had a record amount of snowfall this year. I didn't really understand what this would be like. However, I knew it was going to be pretty amazing. There are no words that can properly describe this experience. So here it goes.

Getting there was a process...at times it was painful. But we new what was waiting for us so we pressed forward. Somewhere around the 5th hour we started to get a little loopy. It involved a lot of licorice, peanut butter eggs, and alien talk. The cows began to look like lions, and the tractors looked like UFO's. Everything was uphill from here. Yes, uphill.

There was a lot of singing, video diaries, attempts at homework, but most of all laughing. So we thought it was very fitting to fill up at Giggle Springs gas station every time we had the chance. How could you not?

As we crossed the California border there was an agricultural inspection. It was mandatory for all vehicles to pull over. We knew this had to be serious. So serious in fact they just waved us through. On the other side of the inspection building we found this gem. Thank you California .



















We finally arrived to our hotel. We crashed as soon as we got there. We had 9 hours of an exciting drive to sleep off. The next morning we both woke up before our alarms went off. We quickly got ready and began our short trek to Mammoth Mountain. This was our view on our way up. We were stoked beyond belief. The whole drive I couldn't help but hear a song from The Weepies play in my head
"All this beauty;
You might have to close your eyes
And slowly open wide
All this beauty;
We traveled all night"
For some reason The Weepies have a song for everything. So perfect and so fitting. It was seriously amazing. Just when I think it can't get any better is when we pull into Mammoth Lakes. You see, earlier that morning I received a message on my phone saying Mammoth Mountain received 44 new inches of snow. This was hard for me to picture, until we got to town. It soon became the only thing you could see. The stores were buried, and bus stops were tunneled into.

The next step in life...


Well...I know many people in my life were wondering when I was going to finally take the next step in my life. Most of my peers have already taken the plunge into growing up. I however, have chosen to remain as carefree as possible. But now my friends it is time. Most of you would think i'm talking about marriage...bahahahahahaha, WRONG....I have now joined a dodgeball league. It's true, I did it...judge me.

El Presidente...


It all started with a little conversation. It ended with an awesome club. So awesome in fact, its B'Dass...seriously...the B'Dasslers. I'm just glad I have people in my life that not only listen to my crazy ideas...but act them out. I probably have the coolest V.P. and Treasurer in town. There are still titles and positions yet to be determined. This is unstoppable.

I couldn't have said it better Matt...




I owe $35 to the Library at Humbolt State University, but I dropped out 15 years ago. So I never paid it and I'm still not gonna. I never got my report card but i didnt go to class and I didnt work hard so I didnt wanna know how bad I did. But I know I never made the deans list

College is a waste of time

If you wanna be a baker or a candlestick maker you still have to wait in line at the bank drive through and the train tracks too behind people like me with no degree cuz I know the conductor and he knows me .You might have a nicer car, but I've traveled pretty far
and all I have is an old guitar. Fourty bucks for a bag of weed in the summer of 1993
Fourty Dollars is all I have, and it isn't mine it belongs to my parents. 500 points for a roll of cookie dough in the cafeteria they got sloppy joes and the sloppy joes cost 3 points, I wont eat in the spring but hey cookie dough.

College is a waste of time

if you wanna be a diver or a big rig driver you still have to go to the store you share the road with the wide load. It's taking up all three lanes and you can't get around it it's a big pain. and the driver hasn't slept in three whole days but he knows one thing and thats freeways. He's got a gatorade bottle where he goes pee, and your behind him with your college degree.
