Do Work

By: Paul Gemignani

So recently I had to go back home to have surgery on my elbow. Basically I broke the end of my elbow off and had to get a plate and nine screws to attach it back on - not that cool. But it's my first broken bone ever and I have to say that's not too bad for over a decade worth of snowboarding under my feet...many people are not so lucky. But regardless of injury I believe the show must go on. I think there are two ways people can treat injuries. Good or bad. I've decided that I am going to treat this as a good injury and learn from my mistakes. Some people say all things happen for reasons, and I think that's true. The universe has a unique way of unfolding, we as people need to learn how to recognize this and go with the flow instead of fighting it sometimes, otherwise it will come back to fuck us. Anyways just a thought. Even though I'm still laid up, I gotta keep the ball rolling and do work. Stay posi.

X-mas EVEr so Cold

Today as I sit and write this out, I can't believe Christmas is right around the corner, and i find myself back home again with family and friends. Unexpectedly of course, i wasn't supposed to be here this year and had other plans, but the universe has a way with changing my plans all the time when i least expect them to. So i have found the silver lining on the cloud this time and I am riding it out to see where it will take me this winter. It always seems that i have grand plans to do all these amazing things, until something not really in my control happens and i can no longer fight "fate" so to speak. So this year, I decided instead that I am going to just go with the flow and not stress or worry about anything because there is something bigger than all of us out there I can't explain and we just have to let things roll on as there supposed to. This post reminds me of a great line from a poem i love called - Desiderata. it goes..."and whether or not it is clear to you, the universe is unfolding as it should". Happy Holidays.
