travis' brain dump

With the recent death of the late Michael Jackson, I figured it was only fitting that we pull out the ole Cebu prisoners video of “Thriller” in his honor. Despite the controversies surrounding this individual and the constant allegations against him, one thing remained constant, he was an incredible inspiration to dancers all around the world. His breakthrough moves laid the groundwork for much of today’s entertaining dance moves that we enjoy in movies, on tv and in music videos. May “Wacko Jacko” rest in peace.

Tomorrow will be two months since my last post. Andy threatened to log in and do some posting of “questionable content” if I didn’t sound off and at least say something.

It’s amazing one can find themselves so busy that they don’t even have time to blog a single item much less run maintenance on their site once in two months. I’m not even going to go into the details of the last few months, just start from here. lol It’s been crazy, we’ll leave it at that. That family is well and everyone is doing great.

Hopefully I should get some more posts up today and tomorrow along with some new picture updates. Those are way long overdue. All in all, just know I’m still alive and all is well. 🙂

Well, I have to say it’s about freakin time. I think this has been one of the driest winters (in terms of snow) I’ve seen since I left Georgia. LOL I really wish that we had more of this recent snowfall all over the winter. It was kind of boring this go around. Still, can’t say I’m bored with Colorado weather and at least we’ve been keeping some decent bases in the mountains to go boarding on. 🙂 🙂

However despite it being dry, it was good to see the weather finally dropping some much needed precipitation out there. January was horrible, February saw precipitation at .11″ out of the average .33″ and we sat in March all the way until last Thursday at trace levels with an average of .92″. Finally between then and now March is sitting at 1.62″ which is awesome.

Here’s some pics from last Thursday and Friday’s fun. 🙂

The best part? More is supposedly on the way as we roll into April! Hopefully we’ll be getting some more tomorrow and again this weekend. YAY!

I really hope this is the case. I’ve enjoyed getting in some late season snowboarding. Even Arwen has joined in on the fun. 🙂

Hopefully the poor kiddo can get cleared to come up with me again this next weekend. I feel it will be unlikely though since she broke her wrist last Friday. Crazy kiddo was jumping off the furniture and got herself good. We thought at first she had sprained it, however when she tripped and fell again Saturday it hurt her again just as much so we had it checked out. Still though, she boarded awesome on Saturday so who knows, maybe she’ll get to go up again despite having a cast on!

You know, I’ve about had it. The first one was cute, the second one was a little annoying but now that I’ve gotten into the teens of how many times I’ve been tagged with “25 Random Thing about XXXX” it’s gotten OLD.

It may seem pretty harmless, take 10 minutes to fill out a little survey and forward it on to your friends but did you know that they’re up to about 5 million of these things?  That comes out to be (assuming 10 minutes to fill it out) to about 800,000 hours of worktime WASTED. 🙂 Even at minimum wage that’s still just under $6.2 million of waste work time!

So, aside from the fact it’s a huge waste of money and time… it’s annoying. Stop with the madness people as most of us don’t want to hear that you eat tacos with a fork, that you can’t grow hair on your arms or that you cried when Spock died in Star Trek II.
