Busy, Lazy, and lots of photo's

Here are a bunch of photo's i took on the ski trip.

It's been a little while cause i've been kinda busy searching for a job, and kinda lazy due to the constant rejection. But before that i went on my ski trip out to Breckenridge and Vail. It was a lot of fun, mostly due to the skiing, and kinda shitty, due to the people who came. The 24 hour bus ride out there was brutal, the first 3 hours to La Crosse from Milwaukee was great because it was with some UW-Milwaukee students that turned out to be really nice, fun, etc. But the subsequent 21 hours with rest of the bus filled with UW-La Crosse students absolutely sucked. These are some of the things i wrote about the trip in my moleskine . . .
~ WOW- For the last 24 hours i have been in a cramped bus with some of the stupidest, most ignorant, most depressing people i have been around in a long time. The sheer lack of common sense, any basic reason, and proud ignorance is truly saddening. I am extremely excited about all the amazing skiing, but I am extremely dreading spending much time with most of these people.

~ This guy i'm staying with spilled his beer and choose to clean up the spill with a burrito over a towel which was on the other side of the burrito.
~ On the ski lifts i only take out my earphones and pause my iPod to talk to people over 30.

~ It's surprising (or is it) how unsure most people are about themselves.

~ Over the whole week in Breck there was never a point when at least one person wasn't passed out/sleeping, out of 8 people staying in the condo.

But the skiing was absolutely amazing, and worth everything. Furthermore, it was ridiculously beautiful out there and i took about 800 some photos. Since i have been back i have been searching job ads in which 99% want 3-5 years experience, applying to said job ads, and hearing back from .1% of jobs applied for. Needless to say it is a brutal process and really sucks the life out of you.

Other than that i have been watching lots of films, and watching the first season of Lost on DVD. If you haven't seen Lost then my opinion of you just lowered. It is simply amazing, and it is the only thing i have experienced in which i sit on the edge of my seat, Literally, thoughout each new episode. Unfortunately and fortunately it is not a show you can just watch and get into, there is a lot of background info about each character, and there are a lot of mysteries. But i guarantee it is worth your time and commitment.

Here are even more photo's i took on the ski trip.



P.S. Today, i also posted a comment on Mark's blog using my name. This is the first time i have really told anyone about this blog, even though i haven't literally told anyone. If someone is curious enough and looks at my profile they will see that i have a blog and can thus read it. Before this i was simply writing this all for myself as kind of an experiment/exercise/therapy, but i am curious to see what kind of response i get.

Nice pictures Mike. I hear ya about the job search. Supposedly it' supposed to be a lot better for college grads this year than pervious years. I really find that hard to believe.

Wolfman,

Nice Pics bro... It does my heart good to know that you are bumming around taking pics instead of volunteering at the republican party HQs!
