Then deer wake up is when we wake
up. I walk to the sandy part of the
beach and see everyone awake except
cocky Karma, so I start to burn his head
with a magnifying glass, and it doesn't
even get hot, so Baby Alive throws sand?
and walks to the ocean mad, and I
think to myself, "He just needs love."
We motivate out of there, and on the
way out, I see a deer drinking water out
of a pond by the beach, and I think to
myself, "That's beautiful." But I only think
it's beautiful to myself and not tell any-
one, because Karma's in the van, and
I don't want to share anything with
him except a knuckle sandwich. I
know I could kick his ass, even
though Simon's money's on Karma.
I'm like a big brother figure.
Anyway, about 10 minutes, 70 mph,
and on a slow right curve later, I see
another deer, a young buck, that
decides to cross the highway, so I
think, "OK, here it goes..." No
brakes, no turning, just slaughter
fest; fuck deer, they're beautifully
stupid. So, it wrecks the whole
front of the van. After that, I tell
Karma "sorry," and I mean it. We
then decide to eat and drive to
Burnside to get dirtier. I drive
Alan's car so he could sleep, and
Scott Bourne gets shotgun and on
the way tells me, "I'm dropping in
on the big wall." He's telling me like
he's never done it before, but he has,
I found out later from Jake. Anyway,
we end up at the Vans house in Mt
Hood to recover from our trip up the
coast. The big West Coast is
gnar gnar. Later I see Joey
from Fishpaw at dinner. He's
way cool.

Take up to rain, so Scotty Dog, Alan, Ryan, and I go play snowboarding
Wsnowboarders. When we get through Yat-dogging pay towpowder
at Hood Meadows, we go back to the room and find out Karma needs a ride
to the airport, so AP, Scott B, and Ryan take him there and go skate Burnside
(sorry about the sticker on the Burnside sign; if you guys were so upset, why
didn't anyone say anything?), so Jason Adams, Scott, Simon, and I go skate
Windells bowl, which fuckin' rules. I guess Silly Eddie and Crabtree went to
skate High Cascade. We eventually all re-group for house cleaning and pool
and go to the bar with The Kid, J Adams, and Eddie. Ed shows up in women's
underwear and puts Roots on the jukebox, and I overhear a lady telling Ed
how she's never seen a cowboy wearing women's underwear listening to reg-
gae before. He wins. Crazy Eddie rules.

Clockwise from left: The Kid
floats one at High Cascade. The bowling
facilities at Windells. Scott Bourne knows what
it's all about; he puts his right foot in, then takes
his right foot out, he rides his skateboard up the
wall and turns his body all about. The way
Eddie Nemeth ripped the park was extremely
off-fence-ive.

Wake up to a barely sunny day with Dave
Sypnowski dry-humping me and Scott from
Vans, so we go snowboard like any other gaylord
would do. We get back around 12:00 pm just as
the rest of the crew is waking up, and all decide
to go sesh the bowl. Ed and Jason Adams rule a
doubles line over the hip, Alan Petersen wins,
and Simon completely fucks the place up. It was
a very good day to die. That night, a lot of
drinking and gambling took place.
