Instead, I’m about to go paint the town red once again. Because that’s how I roll, I guess.
Here’s a picture from Family Xmas one year ago.

You know, a remnant of evolution that keeps hanging around, and nobody knows why? Do you know what I’m saying?
It’s like this… A group of friends start out pretty tight, and doing EVERYTHING together. Everything is awesome! Then someone gets a boy/girlfriend from outside of the circle, and tries to pull them into it, and often it just doesn’t work. Or worse, 2 people from within the circle pair up, and they end up doing their own thing together, while still rolling with the crew. For example, your circle of friends goes to the county fair together, but then the pair wants to check out the tunnel of love, and everyone else in the group wants to go to the rodeo and it ends up being not such a great time.
And then before you know it, everyone from your circle of friends is paired up with someone, except for you. Everyone else’s friendship has evolved, except for yours. And you’re there, trying to organize a snowboarding trip for the crew like back in the day, but it’s not coming together because by now they have kids and in-laws they need to entertain, and you’re left feeling like an appendix.
the end.

We were on our way to a BMX competition at The Garage Skate Park in Nelson, B.C.
I think this was 11 years ago this weekend.

Seven years ago today, Chad and I flew to New York City for my very first time. This is a super lame/boring/??? video I made about the trip. It’s probably the worst video you will watch all week.
Also, please note how much younger and less fat I look zOMG!!!

Obviously they don’t have a very deep talent pool to pick from, but… gosh! Watching this news is a lot like listening to some talkshoe.com podcasts. They’re so unprofessional/badly produced that you almost feel embarrassed for the people involved.
Anyways, I sure am glad that I get to watch what I’m watching. I just wish it was put together a little better. You can watch along too, but I’m not exactly sure how much they’re going to be showing online. I think they will be showing a lot of racing/practicing/qualifying on Saturday, and of course a full day of racing on Sunday.
Also, I don’t watch the local Miami news too often, so it could be just as bad, but not that I’ve seen.

After Rick Johnson, but before Jeremy McGrath, Jeff Stanton was my favorite rider (I was such a Honda nut back then!).
Check out this video from French MX magazine/site Moto Verte of Jeff Stanton’s basement!

This made me want to visit Vancouver REALLY BAD! I was there back in 1986 for the World’s Fair, but I was 11 then.
Also, I have 105 invites to Jaman to share. Apparently I’ve had them since February. I didn’t even know you needed to be invited.

I’ve been using Hotmail for over 10 years now!

I don’t have any pictures yet… I JUST got off of the phone with my uncle, but he said he’ll send me some.
When I was at home for family Xmas there was a baby shower for cousin Scott and Uncle Tim and their respective families and there was a money pool deal where you’re supposed to pick the birth day/weight of these two new kids. I didn’t win either pool even though I think I bought the most squares. I know that I had the most at the time, but someone could have usurped me after I made my choices.

Of (fairly uninteresting) note are these two new pages: users and stats. The users page shows how many people are browsing this site in realtime and about the only interesting thing about that is that there were 58 people browsing fanless.com at the same time on January 6th. I have no idea why. I was in West Palm that day and not even on the innernets. The stats page shows some kind of interesting stats about my blog. I’m just running it in stock form so any spelling/grammar issues should fall on the developer’s shoulders, not mine. As you can see, 2 old posts keep getting tons of comments that I can’t read.
Oh, and speaking of stats…

I came kind of close to getting 2 million page views in 2006.


Here’s a breakdown by month. I expect 2007′s stats to look more like 2005 than 2006. I’m feeling rather over blogging/the innernets. It’s like, the more I realize people are actually reading what I type the less I feel like typing on the innernets.

Beyond all that, my cousin Scott’s wife Lisa had a baby over the weekend. You can read all about it at their blog. Also, my other cousin, Scott’s sister, Tiffany, has her own blog and you should read it too.
