The night air breathes
But not so easy as before
Did you notice
Did you take the time to listen
To my breath or to my words
When I spoke
Explain my feelings and my reasons for the way I love you
I'm getting to the point
She's so sweet and
I'm leaving
Thinkin how I'm barely breathin'
Notice how your every look gives me tingles
And I wonder if your listening to what I'm thinking
We won't fade away
My feelings have not fallen away
You're my every thought here
Everything will go on it's own way
Everything is okay
We will try to make it
Everything will go
It's alright baby
It's alright baby
It's alright baby girl why don't you say
Feelings have not passed away
You're my every thought here
Everything will

I think I'm going to stay for a while. A decision that will hamper the California residency, but none-the-less expedite the entire college process.

Since I am an Idaho resident, I can attend a select number of colleges in California at the WUE (Western Undergraduate Exchange) tuition, which is 150% of the in-state tuition price.

So, I think I am going to stay here in Idaho, working and saving money, until mid-way through next summer. Where I go then will depend on if my soccer video gets any attention, otherwise I'll just go play for Humboldt.

Not only will I be able to have a full ski season, which I'm already stoked for, but Ed (my boss at the hotel) has offered several incentives for me if I stay for a while. I'll get a dollar raise, bring me to $14/hour, starting in January and if I were to stay though October (which won't happen) I would get an extra dollar bonus for every hour I've worked from January to October on top of my summer bonus which could potentially be another $50 dollars.

When I moved to Where Ever, CA, I would start school and soccer in the fall of 2008, as opposed to working for a year, gaining my residency and then starting the two in the fall of 2009.

As for present day life, not much is going on. Sports Authority is an alright job, but I don't know how much longer I'm going to stay there. I don't really need the extra money, I just though I'd try something new. The ski pass is a nice incentive, but when would I be able to use it?! Although, I am getting a sick set-up for this winter because of my discounts and stuff there. I got a few pairs of Burton socks, for $20 as opposed to $40, a nice helmet for $60 instead of $80, and of course some Oakley goggles for FREE instead of $125.

If nothing else, I'll at least look like I know how to snowboard...


In unrelated news, sorry I haven't uploaded any new pictures lately, I haven't been doing my part in taking them...


Other future travels may include a trip to, as the infamous Lenny would say, "N'Awlins" if Oklahoma or Oregon end up going to the big dance.

So Dad, I guess now is as good of time as any to tell you, I have four tickets to the National Championship. My treat to you (If OU goes) so you don't have to start pondering the idea. And if neither team goes, I'll just sell them, for probably double what I paid for them. We'll call it a short-term investment.

I'm really looking forward to going to see Lenny here if a few weeks. I need a break from work and everything. It'd be cool to get down to NoCal for a few days and wander around, but either way, seeing him is always a good time.


Don't have anything else to say,

Claire is adorable.


And that's all I have to say about that.

Well, it was that easy.

I start, or at least get an orientation, at Sports Authority on Monday. They want me to work in the Ski and Snowboard Department, which is probably the best choice, even though I don't really know diddly squat about ski's, boards, boots, etc., but oh well.

I'm not sure if I'll get paid more than their advertised $12/hour, but I know I get a ski pass to Teton Village. I should be working around 25 hours a week, but I'll fine tune all the specifics with them once I get rolling.

Anyway, its nice out today; not a cloud in the sky. And it's my second day off in a row! And to top it off, I have tomorrow to do nothing as well!! I know, I can hardly believe it either. I mean who gets three days off in a row? I don't really know what to blow my time on doing, but I'm not complaining.



Keep it real my homies..

Oh, I get my haircut tomorrow, keep your fingers crossed for me...

I'm just starting my third hour of work out of sixteen for the day and I had an overcoming sensation that I should post something. So, without further adieu, here are my thoughts?

I think I am going to get a second part time job at Sports Authority. It starts at $12 an hour and includes a free ski pass to Teton Village. I think it'll be a nice change actually getting a job outside of the hotel industry. It's a nationwide sporting good store with many locations; including one in Northern California.

I might be able to get a job transfer from the Sports Authority here to the one in Redding, CA. Which would mean that I would not be moving to Eureka right away, though Redding is just two hours due west. It is a larger town with more available jobs/rooms/activities. It might be good to get into a bigger town t start out with.

It has been snowing here the last week or so at night, which has caused the pass to be rather slippery, but beautiful. It's all getting me very excited for ski season. I'm looking forward to boarding up at Targhee, Jackson (If I land the job), and I want to get some boarding done on the pass.

I have a new coat on order (so mom, I don't need the one for Christmas anymore) so I should be all set to at least look like I can board pretty well.

Indoor soccer starts in about a month or so, so that should be fun!

Not too much else is going on, but I'll let ya know if that changes.


Peace out. A-Town down...
