---Dec 22nd - the time is upon us! BRO-SKIING IS TOMORROW.

as for tonite, for nocturnal activities, make your way up to sacramento and come clubbing with the santacruz crew. aka, me, elder, parsons, and schlof. also the rookies, kayla and her friend will be joining us. let me know if you want to come for it will be OFF THE CHAIN.

as for tomorrow, the spot to be will be of course at the cabin in south lame tahoe...be sure to head out earlier than later because a storm will be gaining momentum throughout the day.

Dec 24th - well kids,

as bro-skiing is not officially over, most of the participants have headed back to the bay area, inclluding myself.

180, 2 handles, and 8 drunk people later, the 2 night 2 day skiing shitshow came to an end.

hopefully the people who were not able to make it this time, will be able to make it for broski bash, spring break edition!!

as for me, cristmas is upon us, and i am left once again trying to brainstorm presents for my family. bah!
after xmas, i am being dragged to nashville to participate in a boondocks wedding for one of my underage cousins. pray for my survival.

when i get back, its straight to TAO in LA, then back to tahoe!!!

let me know what your guy's plans are!

happy holidays

Winter "BREAK"m 08/09 ReCap

Well kids, its been another EPIC winter break thanks to the motivation and perservearance of it's participants. I would like to thank every one for coming out to the official group events such as bro-skiing, skydiving, and TAO and making it all happen. if it wasnt for the dedication of the members it would have been a shitty break.

kevin, if you could please post the fianl tally on here for broken things that would be grealty appriciated.

I would now like to just do a small recap of what went down this break so we can all look back and remember what a fuckin dope break this was...i would say the best one yet!!! If i miss anything just postup here and say what you did!

first weekend we had the first ski trip with me, kevin, katie W, and guest member kayla. snow was shitty but the partying was above par!

the following week consisted of re-calibrating to marin life and a couple bike rides where kevin mangled his hand...which was with him for the rest of break.

also included the first of the two part clubbing series in the city at club NV becuase not all of us are 21 yet. GET ON THAT!


SKydiving was an all time high of the break, thanks to kevin for motivating us to go! the group consisted of me, bob, ashley(amazingly), katie w, and kevin. if you havnt gone skydiving i HIGHLY recommend it. worth every penny.

Next up was the infamous part deux of broski bash, deemed bro-skiing! there was not a large female presence (thanks katie), but the guys held it down with non stop beer pong and durka pong. awards given out were

rhyming while yelling - bob harris
over the edge award - chase h
nutsack award - kevin bernotas
heavyweight award - matthew rilla
cockblock award - matt elder

if i forgot anyones let me know!

the next event (for me atleast) was traveling to TN with with family for my cousins wedding....let me tell you...never go there! its horrible. all people do there is sit, talk, and eat! it was so bad i had to persuade my dad to let me fly home a day early. straight from TN i flew to LA where i met up with the katies, kevin, brent, and tracey. this was the group that went to TAO for new years....which turned out to be the best event over break! if you were there you know!

after new years i was able to make it up to tahoe one more time with katie B, but not before her car broke down in stockton,,,,then we had to limp it back to marin, then drive up AGAIN in another car....but we make it,,,,and it was worth it becuase the snow was in pristine condition!

I myself am now back insantacruz, going into my 3rd day of classes, but for you guys on the semester system, keep going strong! you still got almost 2 weeks! feel free to come visit here or SLO it will be poppin' this weekend!

as for now, i bid you all adeu (or however you spell that), and hope to see you all this summer!! maybe we should call it summer "fix" 09 to repair all of THE SHIT WE BROKE OVER WINTER BREAK!!

Sorry that post was so long! i needed to get you guys updated!

Stay posted for the next post where i introduce my car!
