MMP

I’ve started to MC local ski events here in Colorado. This past weekend, I had two. Last Park Standing at Echo Mountain and the Smith Limo Jam at Loveland. The weather was amazing, temps were in the mid 60’s and the sun was shining the entire time.

I guess being an MC is a good fit for me. I’m never at a loss for words. I’m not bashful about getting in front of a group of people and I know skiing. The snowboard tricks are still a mystery to me, but I’m getting the hang of it.

The weather was perfect this weekend. Sunny skies, 80 degrees down in Boulder, 65+ up in the mountains. Plenty of snow thanks to a few feet in the past week.  I am now rocking a very harsh sunburn. Looks like in the battle of Sun vs SPF 45 the sun kicked some major ass.

This is a picture of Boulder from the next town over, 5,800 feet. I don’t care where you are from, Colorado is one of the most picturesque places in the continental United States. I feel bad for friends and family who haven’t taken the time out of their very boring lives to come and visit.

By the way, those white peaks in the distance are around 14,000 feet high.

It has been a long time since MMP has checked in with our old pal, Todd Dostal. Todd is still living the dream in Massachusetts and has seemed to calm down a bit in his old age. Todd is no longer driving his M3 at 160 MPH on the Mass Pike, drinking whiskey like its Hi-C and he has even toned his racism down from a 9.5 to around a 6. Kudos, Todd.

One thing that never seems to change is Todd’s insatiable love for fire. The guy just loves to burn stuff. If some of you remember, Todd had himself a little car fire a couple years back just for fucks sake.

Well, he’s at it again. While cleaning out his girlfriends barn he decided to have himself a “controlled burn” in her backyard and scorched around 60,000 square feet of her property. The most surprising part about Todd’s antics is that he got a permit from the local fire department and did this 100% legally.

Wow, nice work Todd.

The transfer is complete, I now have a 303 area code phone number, and a new phone to boot. If you would like to know the new phone number, shoot me an e-mail (mmp at ozskier dot com) or check out my Facebook profile. You can also shoot me an instant message, I’m online for a good portion of the day. I’ve got the unlimited text/pix/flicks package on my new plan, so hit it up.

Heads up to everyone that is lucky enough to have my (current) phone number… I’m getting a new number tomorrow. Yes, that means that I will be ditching the beloved 401 area code for a 303. I’ll be texting everyone in my contact list with the new number when I get it. I’ll also update my Facebook profile so you can check that for the number , if you are my friend.

Here are a few reasons why I am getting a new phone number…

1. Sprint/Nextel calls me NON stop, 3-4 times a day looking for some chick named Carrie. No matter how many times I tell them that I am not this Carrie individual they still keep calling back.
2. Phone Spam: No, I do not want to buy a timeshare. Stop calling my phone… at 6AM IN THE MORNING!
3. 401? : Every time I give my number out to someone out here they jot down the number and immediately follow it up with a “Where the hell is that.” This then spirals out of control into a story about Rhode Island that I do not want to have. 80% of the time the person’s ignorance is revealed when they finally say “Is that part of New York”.
4. I want a Colorado number : People out here have to dial long distance when they want to talk to me, and since 99% of everyone calling from back east is using a cellphone they do not have long distance charges.
5. Change is good : This will also give me a chance to make some people purposefully lose my number. Next time some jerkstore thinks they can call me out of the blue for some computer help they’ll get someone else’s voice on the other end of the line. NICE!

And now, since this post has been very boring, here is a picture of some ridiculous Asian guy playing some cracked out instrument dressed up as Colonel Sanders.

I’m moving on the 1st of May. Here is the view from my new 3 bedroom townhouse. Harvey, Mike and I are going to deck this place out.

This past weekend I did something that I haven’t done in a while… Party. Philip decided he wanted to throw a Pirate themed party on Friday night. He went out, got 3 kegs and a tidal wave of vodka and Rockstar. I arrived pretty early in the evening for the set-up portion of the festivities and figured I would need to get a head start on everyone else seeing how I needed to be at Loveland on Saturday morning at 9:00 AM for the Vert Alert competition.

I didn’t get super-duper wasted, just had a good time not worrying about anything. Also, in true Ski Tour style I put on a performance on the fire pole that resulted in me waking up with several dollars stuffed into my pants. Good times.

Also, just as a heads up to people calling my phone… I lost my voice and haven’t been able to speak since Saturday.

If you don’t know what Wikipedia is, you should go ahead and crawl back under the rock you’ve been under for the past few years.

I was searching around on Wikipedia tonight and there is a legit entry for Freeskier Magazine. Check it out…

Freeskier Magazine is a skiing magazine based out of Boulder, Colorado. Freeskier focuses on the newer aspect of skiing pertaining to terrain parks, big mountain and back-country riding. The magazine is published 6 times per year and has been growing in circulation rapidly over the past several years. The magazine is currently in its 10th volume. The magazine has recently ventured into new-media content delivery with their “Freeskier Magazine Podcast” and Freeskier.TV.

Damn right we’ve ventured into new-media content delivery.

Hilary turned 21 last week and we celebrated at Old Chicago’s for a couple of adult beverages. During this time, her circle of friends was introduced to “shooting the boot”… Let me explain.

If you are drinking with friends and you accidentally knock over a drink you must drink your next one out of your shoe.

If you are wearing sandals or any sort of open toed shoe your friends may select a shoe for you to drink out of. This usually consists of people selecting the nastiest foot out of all your friends.

During our time at Old Chicago’s, Hilary’s friend Bo spilled a beer. This was minutes after I revealed the recent man-law to them. Immediately we all started chanting “Shoot the Boot” and Bo gladly obliged by pouring a Budweiser into his Addidas and taking his first boot like a man. Excellent work, Bo. You’re alright in my book.
