MY LAST RIDE WITH A-ROB

Michigan in the Mags!

By: Paul Gemignani



So recently Frequency Magazine - The Snowboarders Journal just dropped the new 8.3 issue and they ended up running a story we worked on last time I was home riding in the U.P. of Michigan where I grew up. Pretty stoked on the piece and how it came out. Big ups to my boy Mike R. Thomas for help with the writing and Terry "Ratt" Ratzlaff for shooting photos and everyone involved. So if you want to know more about what Michigan is kind of like for shredding, pick up an issue at your local magazine shop and get out their and make some shred turns. Word!

Book Review - Love Thy Neighbor

By: Paul Gemignani





This book will put life in perspective. Recalling the tales of the Bosnia war, which was only in the 90's. It depicts the struggles between international politicians, the U.N., reporters in the field, and the genocide that the world let happen, not so long ago...I am surprised schools don't teach about this war in school. It is gruesomely similar to the horrible events that happened during WWII. A really powerful piece of literature...

What the FaCK

So the first snowboard trip of the year went down this past week. No new snow anywhere in Colorado, but to not work and sleep during the night instead of the day was a breath of fresh air. My packing job was a sore sight for the first trip, with shit flying everywhere in my car, but everything seemed to pan out well. Did a little thing for TV with some friends, rode some new gear, rail jam in the downtown of Denver went well and did some urban photo stuff. All in all a good trip...

...The problem was coming back to reality. After being gone for only a week, that seemed like a month, I find myself back to my typical routine that has defined my living for the last 8 months. I got to thinking...Where the hell did the time go. Is it that easy for us to simply fall back into a comfort zone and forget that there is a world out there full of amazing people, imagery and inspiration. Why are we so conditioned to take what we are given instead of fighting for what makes us happy. I think i need to quit my job.
