I CAN'T WAIT TO GET THE FUCK OUT OF HERE.
I wasn’t planning on quitting my job, but sometimes you just have to stand up for yourself, even if it means not being able to make rent for awhile. I feel like every single minute I’m still here is eating at my soul.
So, today, I am quitting my job.
But I’m still debating whether to go out guns a blazing or just leave a subtle note describing my grievances. And I’m not even thinking about how fucked I’m going to be financially. Ugh.
“It took a quarter of a century, five presidential administrations, two divorces...”

I just set skis for a billionaire. A BILLIONAIRE. If I don’t get a tip I’m going to post his name and rant about his cheapness.
My lease isn’t up until the end of May but I’m already looking into sublet ads on craigslist for various different cities. I think I’m addicted to apartment hunting.

This pizza joint has pictures of NYC everywhere as if their pies are homages to pizza from there. Yet it tastes more like pizza made in the back of a bowling alley in Secaucus. Mmm, Seacaucus.
Go to Cosmos! Their slices are bigger than any I’ve seen in NYC. And try a slice with spicy ranch on the side.

I got it!
A tumblr meetup should be brought to Aspen. Nobody took me up on this offer yet. Which is just a bad move guys. You’re missing 9” of new powder on top of 9” from yesterday. Get out here!
I wish there were enough people on Tumblr in...
I think it’s only me and her.

I changed the original quote posted, but wanted to give credit to the person who posted the link to the whole rant here.
Saying Yes more was a 2009 resolution. Thanks for reminding me, Dave. (via allthegoodstuff)
Gretchen Bleiler is a badass. Awful fall in the superpipe, broken helmet, and she says “I’m fine, I just have a headache.”
So who thinks Levi LaVallee is going to nail this double backflip on his snowmobile? I’m kinda thinkin he’s gonna fuck himself up.
It pisses me off that someone on Tumblr incorrectly quoted Fight Club and then got like 80 reblogs. Don’t fuck up Fight Club. Just don’t do it.
“There is no substitute for the creative inspiration, knowledge, and stability...”

That’s what I’ve been sayin
Being sick at work means a ton more tumbling for me than I’m used to. Sorry if I’m all over the dash, and fair warning: I’m working the next 9 days straight due to a co-worker being fired.
I want to know if, and how, sharks sleep.
I saw a nurse shark resting once, and some asshole diver that I was with swam down and woke it up by shaking it, and then it charged straight at me and I didn’t enter the ocean again for awhile. But my research indicates that no one really knows if sharks sleep or not. I want a definitive answer!

I remember only beginning to dislike things about myself once my teachers and peers kept telling me I needed to keep up my self-esteem whenever society tried to bring me down with their negative messages directed towards women. I remember one exercise in 9th grade health...

I’m going to be a New York City asshole elitist about Colorado as much as possible. “Yeah, mountains are ok, I guess. Everyone’s into them now though. They’re huge and stuff. I liked them better when they were just piles of sediment.”
It’s actually very easy to seem like an elitist out here, so be careful. Especially when you’re coming straight from NYC. To balance it...
Who sucked out the feeling?
Secret of the Day
I would love love love to be a co-host on The View. I like hearing my own voice, I assume my opinion matters and people want to hear it, I enjoy winning a talk-over-each-other battle, and I would love to put Hasselbimbo in her place from time to time.
Catching up with one of my best friends on the phone today really made me realize, I need to meet some females around here. Too many dudes in Colorado.
You know what sucks...
finding out just now from estranged family members that they threw out the invitation to the inauguration and ball that you didn’t know you were invited to.
So Daniel is working the X Games as a Camera Op Assist. Every day I drop him off at Buttermilk in a fit of jealousy. I haven’t gotten to work on anything film related since I left New York. Now that the athletes are practicing, he complains because the snowmobiles are being shared between athletes and crew, and he has to wait on a long line with them all the time. WHO WOULD COMPLAIN ABOUT...
WEST WING MARATHON ALL DAY ON BRAVO!
Oh Bravo, you know me too well.
I think I'll spend the rest of today watching old...
It's past noon..
President-Elect Barack Obama!
I’m so glad today is my sick day. Watching CNN from bed, and loving it.
I’m about to go on a hike from the base of Assay Hill to the top of the Elk Camp Gondola. I’ve never hiked before, going with someone who does it every day. Slightly nervous.
I want to go on a road trip...

I just wish I had tumblr friends in the northwest that could show me around.
I can assist you with such matters! In response, you must detail your adventures in Aspen, por favor.
If you can find friends for me here, I will write you a novel about Aspen. It’s been too long without sharing, I apologize.

You know people are broke when you can’t fill a football pool at an exclusive members-only ski-in/ski-out club in aspen more than halfway.
things im not into today:
Beyonce. Whether it be that awful DirectTV commercial, or her too-tight-and-too-short ensembles, I can’t stand her. I know, I know, whatever, I shouldn’t judge. She’s beautiful and talented and I just wish she’d make better decisions like stop making catchy annoying music that gets stuck in my head without fail, and stop over-endorsing shit, do you really not have enough...
things i'm into today:
exclusive resorts on warm, sunny islands. (they are in my daydreams.)
coffee. usually i only drink it iced, but not today.
my puppy! (they grow up so fast.)
freaks and geeks. (today is the first time i’m seeing this tumblr!)
pandas. and koalas. don’t really know why they’re on my mind though.
food. (this one actually never leaves the list.)
focusing on my...
Yesterday was my day off. I made online wish lists of all the clothes I’ve been wanting. I couldn’t bring myself to buy anything, but I saved the shopping cart and left it in my browser. Today, after a long day at work, I sat down on my computer and saw the website again. This time feeling a little more worthy I guess, I picked out 3 things I wanted the most. And purchased them...
