Well guys, finally some normality is settling into my life again.
Although I still have 10 people in town that I have to look after – one of them is an old time friend of mine who is a legend but they are a bit older so they are kewl for me to look after them during the day but no partying (unlike last week when I was waking up hung over 8 days in a row). I’m kinda happy that they aren’t partying as I’ve got tonnes of work and sleep to catch up on (although it is now well after midnight when I post this).
This group of people are pretty kewl – unlike most of my friends money isn’t a problem for these guys (they aren’t rich or anything but they have good jobs back in Oz) so if we drop into the pub they are happy to buy me a few rounds which is kinda nice. Although I hate not buying my share – but knowing this it is a good this like today when I lost my wallet (I lost it inside my own front door). These guys/gals aren’t that high a standard of riding and I’ve really really tried to be humble – ie not showing off. Kinda felt rude today when the new girlfriend of my old buddy asked me if I could hit this HUGE BOOTER. To any of my own mates I’d tell them “Who do you think I am? I could hit that booter in my sleep.” But I really am trying to be the nice humble guy (which is something that I’ve been trying to work on these days).
Well I’m getting tired now – I suppose I should give a theory on things here but I reckon I’ll leave it to everyone else here. This is definitely the most thoughtful post on this board. I would love to hear your thoughts – nothing negative though – keep things positive guys.

Yeah a booter is a big jump in snowboarding. Often in those comps on TV the last jump is the biggest and referred to by the knob commentators as the ‘Money Booter’.

Money Booter–money shot!?! There’s a porn storyline in there somewhere. 🙂 Thanks for the explain…

btw, I like the way you write: it’s brash, open and unapologetic. although barebones in language, sometimes, your posts are quite vibrant and energetic. (snowboardin’ and gaggin’ for speedos–that’ll do it!!! :p)
