why, why have I succumb to this trend...?

In light of the new year and to start something new and fresh, I was originally going to start a journal (which I'm still probably going to do), but I thought "hey, I'm an interesting guy, people probably want to know more about me" so I decided to jump on the blog bandwagon as well. I used to be so anti-blog... I'm such a hypocrite.

Alright, so where do I start? Well lets talk about the weather we've been having for one, it's January 5th and it's going to be a high of +13 degrees!!! Normal temps are -2, so you can understand what a big difference this is. Being the snowboarding enthusiat that I am you can see how this affects my riding season thus far. That's ok though because in 2 weeks I'm off to Colorado! Big mountains, fresh powder (hopefully) and we're even going to do a cat skiing. I really can't wait.

My brother Vic's moving downtown in 3 days, I'm such he's pretty excited and I'm excited for him. It'll be great having him downtown.

I'm also looking to buy a dog, a small puppy. I've always wanted one of my own, our family has Pepper, a golden retriever who lives with my dad, but he's a little too big to keep in my condo. On my trip to Whiteface in Lake Placid NY this past new years, a few of my friends were talking about their dogs, all small ones, a pug/jack russel mix, a jack russel, a min pin, and it got me thinking about how fun it would be to have one of my own. I know they're a lot of work and I realize that my lifestyle might have to change a little, but I think it'll be worth it. I've started looking, but the problem is I'm leaving for my 10 day trip in 2 weeks, so I'll probably wait until I get back.

Well, this first post has turned out to be longer than I anticipated, but who really cares right? It's Friday and I think I'm off to the ROM (Royal Ontario Museum) tonight to check out the Italian exhibit before it ends on Sunday. Peace out!
