Winter blows..

do you snowboard? i've always wanted to try.

no snowboarding for me, though people have tried to get me to convert.. actually tried it once a few years back when the band I was in did a ski resort run.. spent the whole day on my butt:mad: no thanks.. I don't get out on slopes enough to warrant wasting any more days trying to surf down a mountain when skis work just fine..:)

Maki: have fun in Hawaii.. that's the next place I'm sending a package for a getaway gig..
 
one of the beautiful things about this country is that you can move. For example, 9 years ago i decided i had enough of west virginia so 2 months later i was living in south carolina...viola! no more winter! short sleeve shirts on christmas!

Understood, but South Carolina is a bad example.. you should have said California or at least Arizona :) I've been to South of the Border.. it ain't so cool.. well maybe parts..


:cool::ninja::p:D
 
I don't mind winter. We got 6" of snow and ice this past weekend and another 6" of snow last night. On talk radio they were coming up with reasons to like the snow and Wisconsin Winters. Some of the callers came up with:

It's purdy
Skiing - x-country and downhill
sledding
snow-shoing
70 degress year round = boring; change 'o seasons = better
hot chocolate
fireplaces
snowmen
snowball fights

You deal with it. We're dealing with it.

Now is my time to laugh at all those nut-jobs who say how great summer is, even though they spend 90% of their time sitting in Air Conditioning.

not me. car windows down come summer time. i dont use a/c at all in the car. we do cut in on in the house due to my daughters allergies. i am usually the only one outside on a hot summer day in this neighborhood. gotta keep my cars lookin good. never do i ever see any kids outside. when i was a young un it sucked to come inside.
 
You live of north. What do you expect. Quit complaining about winter and "oh my god it's soooooo cold..." Put some damn clothes on then. I love the winter, yes it is cold, but just dress for winter and your fine.
