Adrenaline, my best friend

It was a sunny day up at beautiful Mt. Baldy.  It was my first time riding with my new bindings, and I chose to hit-up the T-bar trail.  The bindings were great, flexible, comfortable, and stylish.  I was determined to get my first backside 180 done, and then...... I saw the perfect jump, not too big, not too small.  I had some doubts in my mind but pushed on anyway.  When the nose of my board left the jump it was as if everything just started in slow motion.  I twisted my shoulders and my legs followed, the board spun a full 180 degrees.  I landed perfectly and everything went back to real time, as I sailed through the powder to get back to the lift i could feel my legs start to get stiff, so i stopped for a little rest.  I was so hot that the snow melted in about 3 seconds flat when i touched it with bare skin.  When I got down to the lift I decided to go up the Eagle chair to check how the bindings would do down a steeper decline.  When i got off the lift i had a feeling like there were butterflies in my stomach, but i shrugged it off.  Halfway down the hill I realised how fast I was actually going.  I hit a jump and got huge air and landed without a moment's hesitation, when i finally got back to the lodge i was shaking like a leaf in the breeze, and I realised that my buddy adrenaline was paying me a visit.

I personally have probably struck my electronics over 100 times.  But there are a few incidences that stand out from the bunch.  About two years ago I was playing Halo: 3 with one of my friends, when all of a sudden my Xbox got the red ring of death and shut down.  I sat down to restart my Xbox but the power button just turned red again , I did not bother turning it off I just punched it, lo and behold the power button turned green again and i was back to playing Halo.  So far I've had the the red ring of death five or six times now and they have all been solved with punching.  Something similar happened recently, but not with my Xbox, but with my Ipod.  One day I was brushing my teeth & holding my Ipod at the same time (NOT SMART), when i accidentally dropped it into the sink filled with water, at first I said to myself "whatever it won't do any harm" but then when i tried to play some music...... NO SOUND.  I tried to figure out what was wrong but I ended up just throwing the thing at the nearest wall, problem solved, the sound works again :).   Another time I was just sitting on my little red cube playing some computer games, when all of a sudden the screen fades to black, then I thought to myself "If only life was this easy", Punched my laptop, the screen flared to life, and I'm like "YES, just YES".

Introduction?

I dont like the first one  I did, so i'm going to re-do it.

My name is Arin, i was born on January 26, 1998, in the Penticton hospital. My Parents are both from Portugal, so I hear a LOT of it at home, i never speak it though, I just nod my head and listen. My intrests are snowboarding, videogames, and soccer. I like listening to really any music (as long as it's not Justin Bieber). I'm pretty laid back most of the time, unless I'm gaming. Aside from going snowboarding, gaming, and soccer, I like to shoot trap, target shoot, and go hunting. I have two REAL pets, Charlie, my basset pug cross and Roofus, my lab saint bernard cross, we also have some scragly old cats that come around for free food, like bums. My favourite subjects would have to be English, French, P.E, and science.



I guess this is good enough so I'm just going to leave it here for now.
