whirlwind

life has been a whirlwind as of late. hectic both personally and professionally.
ever wonder why nothing seems easy and straight forward? I think I am the chief reason, actually I know I am.

I clutter my conscious with so many ancillary items, it begs not to rid itself of all these items - however to see them in proper light is in high demand.

results are in

Roy sucks at skiing!!!!
have pretty much decided that if I... a) want to live b) want to relax duing my "vacation" c) want my body to maintain a peach coloring - I need to hang it up.
So Roy will now be exploring the city of Steamboat Springs, CO over the next few days.

"gotta know when to fold them"....

leaving to go skiing in about 30 minutes. no email (perhaps) for the next few days excites me. no cell phone excites me. smoking my pipe and reading my books excites me. hanging with my roomie d-willy excites me. snow falling excites me - it's been two years since i have been in a snowfall. It feels like the world stops when it does.

will post pics soon.

I have been listening to more and more hip-hop. Attracted to it being a culture that I am not regularly exposed to even though I live in Atlanta.

In my sales life as well as everyday life I tend to discuss the "straw on top" - however underlaying the latest straw is tons of others that are perhaps heavier than the last on the pile.

create cool - don't let the dryer win

another terrorist post

if you know me at all i stay out of the whole war thing and political thing pretty well. it has gotten to me more as of late. it gets to me that these people think they are holy, even in the slightest. the latest is that they booby trapped two mentally disabled women and detonated the bomb remotely in a popular street market (aka - not soldiers, but most likely Muslim brothers and sisters).

perhaps in 50 years or so Islam will be as non-cool as Christianity is currently. we have the crusades and abortion clinic bombings to thank in part of our "extremist" identity. they make our crazy Christian nut brothers/sisters look like humble, pacifist Hindus.
