Oh kayy so I'm sitting here on the computer as usual... It's an everyday thing for us all, we're physically challenged but not technologically. I dunno if thats good or bad. At this current moment I wish I was a WHOLE LOT more physically fit lol.
So yesterday was Kelsey's birthday and I spent the entire night with her pretty much. I dunno what to call us at this point but I know we have fun together, especially yesterday lol. Yesterday being her birthday and being her birthday we went to do her most favorite thing in the world and something that I have never done, snowboarding. Paoli Peaks midnight madness.
So being the confident person that I am I was really looking forward to it, how hard could it be right? And I used to skateboard... not much of a difference right? Just you don't get off the board but snow feels a hell of a lot more better that the concrete right? WRONG!!!
Sh*t was hard lol...
I've never busted my ass so many times in my life... I thought I had sprained my wrist a couple times too lol... Plus I smacked my head on the ground more than enough times and the snow is not as gentle as it seems. Plus I got plowed over by some skiier when I was actually gettin' the hang of it lol.
But don't get me wrong, it was so fun.
Well, once I got going of course lol. I was afraid to go fast most of the time but who wouldn't be? After I learned how to slow down and stop I was a lot more confident on the board. Not to mention while I look like a damn fool, Kelsey is lookin' like the female Shawn White lol. But on a real note, I haven't had much more fun ever. There is no better air than the nighttime air during the winter, especially with the snow on the ground. It's just refreshing, and it feels pretty good when your riding down the slope. Yeah it was cold too but I was very bundled, plus with that hard ass workout, I did more sweating than freezing lol.
Man it sucks to stand up, sit down, stairs are extra shitty but it's all well worth it. She is I think. I would do it again no doubt.
We went up there is Eric and Keith, which made me feel a bit better because they really weren't any better that me, probably worse actually lol. But to Kelsey I was still a laughing stock, but I can laugh at myself too. Jordan was there with his girl, and he is a kick ass skiier and she isn't bad at snowboarding. It was pretty cool seeing them but that was just more of my friends that can laugh at me later lol. Oh well, embarrassment is part of life and it's not so bad if we can all learn to laugh at ourselves.
Snow boarding was definitely not something I ever saw myself doing but when I actually did it I had a lot of fun, and I would definitely do it again. Sh*t I might do it a lot more if the oppourtunity arises.
Here is one thing that I have realized. Some say this is true and others don't, yes it is life but life is a game. Not a video game but more like a game that you play in, a sport, a game you prepare for. Basketball, football, volleyball, etc. Everyday is practice for moments like these. And in life YOU HAVE TO TAKE CHANCES! No doubt about that... You have to take chances, put that on repeat. What is life without taking risks? Where will you go? Nowhere! How many great things have happened because someone decided to step up and take a chance? Uhh... pretty much all of the great things that have happened lol. You gotta take chances, take the chance to change your life, make a life changing decision. And DEFINITELY give people chances as well. You never know what the person could turn out to be. It could be a person who could change your life, for the better and yes, for the worse, but that is a lessoned well learned.
Don't pass up on anything or anybody just because you are unsure! Give chances, just one maybe but sometimes that's all it takes. Passing up on someone or something could be the worst decision ever because you never gave them or it a chance to change your life.
Wow, I love how something like snowboarding can make me have an epiphany like this lol. I'm not one that is soley set on fate, I believe that you have to make things happen yourself, and take those chances. Then things can work out the way they are supposed too.
Maybe this will continue on, I dunno but anything is possible. Just gotta give it a chance lol.
