To start the New Year right, I partied out with one of my favorite electronic music DJs -- Markus Schulz. He greeted the New Year playing at Ruby Skye in San Francisco when midnight struck.

I had an amazing night with my sibs, Carla and Josh -- plus made new friends. To top it off, I made it behind the DJ booth to snap a photo with him.

To a happy and healthy 2011! Cheers!

I will conquer it with positive energy and patience.
I will open my arms wide to possibilities and opportunities. I will pay more attention to my amazing family and friends -- from whom I've gotten and will get support in tough times.

For the next 364 days, I will attempt to capture snippets of my life -- thoughts, feelings, events or the ordinary times of my life. It will make me appreciate the small things that I've taken for granted -- and therefore, love life again.

And for this year, love will find me.

I am not lying when I say "Never a dull moment". It's difficult to find time to lay down the words to express how much fun I get to have.
There were parties here and there, plus a handful of days on snow.
cheers for more to come.

Sarah and Mascha met on CraigsList.

It was on August 11th, 2007... a hot Summer's day in NYC, when Mascha decided that she really wanted to go to Back to the Banks

Seeing the fact that none of Mascha's friends in NYC at that time were even remotely interested in skateboarding she decided to post an ad on CraigsList to find someone to tag along with her.

Magically at that very same moment, Sarah was sick of her job and was browsing through the jobs offered section, got bored and decided to look around for some FUN [haha, she won't admit it, but I believe she might have cruised over to the NSA section] and came across my ad.

We exchanged myspace.com links and decided that we both looked OK for Craigslist users and the rest is history.

I hereby want to thank Craig for helping me find my wingwoman, partner in crime and BFF !

I met up with a handful of friends who were as stoked as I am to see a snowboarding movie, be around snowboarders, and talk about the season ahead... and get some drinks on!
Met Danny Kass, The Dingo, Lucas Magoon, and .. ummm, one other pro-rider.
Didn't get to see the movie since they played it at around 2 am on a Tuesday night, errr Wednesday morning.
Had a lovely time though.
