"The ski bum trades security for face shots, the future for the moment. Considering how hollow the promise of a corporate career has become, who can say the ski bum is not the wiser investor in his or her youth?"

thanks to this article for legitimizing the bum's life.  :)

so here's a new adventure: i'm living in a dorm for the first time.

there will even be a roommate, any day now.

my room is cold and concrete. i'm subsisting on ramen noodles and oatmeal packets. the hallway smells of dank snowboard boots. but hell! i've lived with a terrible hoarder, and in a row-house with four screaming german kids, and in a wooden box in the forest with no bathroom...

this dorm is cheap and slope-side, and i think i dig it.

send some positive energy to the parks budget, people.
it's no good when your livelihood depends on congress.
