Uncle!

What's up with this last month? I've been so emotional, and that's not like me. Even worse, I've been acting upon my emotions. Well, I guess it can be good or bad, but to do that is really out of character for me. I pretty much think feelings are stupid. They make you do stupid things. (Just like Screeching Weasel's lyrics: It's stupid when her voice can make you smile. It's stupid when your heart clouds up your mind.) However, I will admit that good things come from my being emotional or pissed off. The concepts behind all AutoSnowCo. art come from me. And when I'm all happy and content, that's when I'm the least creative. If I weren't pissed off every now and then, I wouldn't have ever started dropping cornices and trying hard tricks in the park. Or pulling into close out waves. This is one reason why I think surfing/snowboarding/skateboarding are such emotional activities, and to treat them like a sport is prostitution. Big thanks to Brandon Young for helping me out. He gave me the best advice, the one I ended up following. I think he's been through probably every possible relationship disaster there is. He's also the 1st one naked at a Costa Rican strip club, and he's the customer! How does that happen? Nonetheless, Brandon has some useful relationship insight for sure.

Here's a pic of me this morning after another emotional decision. Joe and I made the decision to party at this house of girls we met at Mammoth a couple weeks ago. Anyway, I haven't had the urge to party since August 2, 2001. But after this month and all the crap that's been happening, I've been drinking a lot, and thought might as well be a bit social if I'm just gonna be drinking alone anyway. Everyone ended up kinda flying off the handle last night. So I wake up this morning in a weird place with writing on my face. Prob got all the party out of my system for a long time now.
