Recapturing the magic

It’s amazing how much fun snowboard trips can be when they are good. Or just snowboarding on one of those days when everything is perfect. But more amazing is how such a great activity can have the magic sucked out of it when the wrong people are in involved. I’d really like to stop dwelling on my recent trip, but it’s not working out. I have been having dreams, no, nightmares, where I am right back there. I know I just need to move on, and I am working on it. Being in a beautiful place like Portland is helping. The rain is much less depressing when everything is in bloom.

I’m also working on a story about the antithesis of a lot of what I dislike about snowboarding. I don’t want to say much more about it (you can wait until it comes out in Future) but the interviews have made me laugh, and getting an email from Temple Cummins this morning, well that’s just amazing. I also got a Myspace friend request from Artboard Magazine this morning. I’ll admit I am quick to deny requests, particularly from random media companies, but I checked this one out. Holy shit! Everything about this magazine rules. Nearly 300 pages of insane photos and stories about people I cared about when I cared about snowboarding, if you know what I mean. It’s out of Salt Lake, and honestly I am embarrassed I haven’t heard of it sooner or through a cooler channel than Myspace (where were you on this one Pretty Pat?)  Anyway, don’t blow it, go check it out.

Also through Myspace I ended up watching a World Quarters video on Snorev.com. Drunk Joe Carter interviewing the Raugh brothers definitely just made my morning. So go watch that too.
