I went snowboarding up at Mammoth over the weekend, and I had a lot of fun. It was originally going to be just me and my brother since his friends were thinking there wouldn't be enough snow. They changed their mind when the weather took a turn, and my aunt ended up going too. My brother and his friends stayed in Motel 6, and Penny and I stayed at the Westin. The wind was really crazy, and they kept parts of the park closed while we were there.

I got really fucked up Saturday night. It gets dark so early in the winter, and it seems like there's nothing else to do but start drinking once the sun goes down. My night was straight out of the movies. I didn't talk with that many people at the bar as far as I can remember but Hell, I probably couldn't even speak English anyways. I was just too busy drinking... I got lost on my walk back to the hotel, and I don't even know how I originally found the bar. I am a giant luckbox.

Anyways, I've been up late and browsing the internet at random, and I came across an amazing read. It's a story about a guy who packs up all of his stuff and starts traveling. He takes up a job as a rafting guide, and he winds up in Canada/Italy/Africa... I thought it was an inspirational read. HIs writing style is great and is probably what sells the story.

You can check it out on the poker forums I read frequently here:

It's making me want to travel, get out and see the world. I've already had some notions about visiting Japan and running around New York. I'm a scrappy, resourceful kid, I could do this...

This guy was traveling the world with $100 to his name at some points. Wow. Just wow.
