Snow in October = A change

It has been a possibly life changing week! First of all, It snowed! I was trying to hold out on the preseason snowboarding but the urge hit me and this is my last week of spare time so I decided to go for it. We went for a nice hike to "The Bone Yard" which is a" secret" little nook somewhere in Guardsmen pass. (For fear of my life I cannot tell you its exact location, hah) As for all the change in my life I recently just quit my job as a Valet downtown to work at Backcountry.com you should check out their site and order some snow gear for the upcoming season! I am very excited to start training next week! Now its time to make some money! Oh and check out this video of SNOW at The Bone Yard that my friend Eddie made over at http://varietyinyourlife.com/ .

So these past few weeks have kept me beyond busy. Everything from staying up 'til 4 in the AM working on paintings and drawings for the art show, to helping Ian with his back lit photo and light box, and other school oriented work has got me thinking. Why do I do this? Well, first and foremost... It is because I love it, that sounds cliche but I really do, I am happy to give out my talents to help other people, may it be visually, personally, or constructively. But this brings me back to my dilemma at hand... monetary needs! I hate relying on money more than anything, but these past few days has put a major dent in my pockets. here is some comparisons...

Car fixed = $1200, bike fixed = $40 dollars, hell I could have made a bike from parts for the cost of fixing my car.

Season pass to Brighton= priceless! ($475 actually, but you catch my drift), not getting a season pass and staying home all winter = why in the world would I even do that! It may be my last season to ride as much as I can due to the fact that I graduate this year which means real world here I come!

Ok I am done b*tch*ng for now but on the upside I have an interview with backcountry.com on Wednesday so hopefully I get hired so I can get out of this financial funk! Oh and p.s I have photo's from the art show coming very soon so look out!
