That being said I really enjoy going to <A HREF="id78.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="bands ive seen"><U>shows</U></A>.  When I'm bored I sometimes like to lounge around and watch movies (who doesn't?).  My favourite movie would have to be <U>RAD</U>.  No, I'm serious.  Ever since my brother first played it for me, back when I was about 7, I fell in love.  When I need to get my stoke on I'll throw in the occasional surf or snowboard film. The current snowboard flick of choice is Robot Food's, "Afterbang".  The surf film would be Taylor Steel's, "Loose Change". Let's get back to snowboarding. My fifth season has finally begun (11/15/03) and I am more stoked than ever.  This addiction of mine leads me to other stupid shit, <A HREF="https://fewt0n.tripod.com/55061620.jpg" TARGET="_top" TITLE="https://fewt0n.tripod.com/55061620.jpg"><U>check it</U></A>. How else am I supposed to get my carve on when the snows melted and the surfs flat?  I have many influences, like Benedek, Jeffy, Jussi, TJ <3, and of course Terje. I'm currently riding a CAPiTA Human05 William Fence 155cm, Blue/Chrome Drake Matrix bindings, & Northwave Focus Web boots.  I ride regular with angles of 18 and -12 and 19.5" wide.</div> <bR> <div>     Hold on... I'm not done yet. I am in charge of this website. I'll be the first one to admit it, I'm not good at web design and don't have the tools, knowledge, or time to make a better looking site. This one is stylish in it's own sense and functional. For me it's always been about functionality. Who really wants to wait 10 minutes for a pointless flash intro to load up. It's the content we all want, and I deliver.  As for the pop up ads, deal with it.</div> <bR> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <TABLE BORDER="2" CELLPADDING="2" CELLSPACING="1" WIDTH="167" BORDERCOLORLIGHT="#000000" BORDERCOLORDARK="#AAAAAA" FRAME="HSIDES" RULES="ALL" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" BGCOLOR=#999999 > <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 20 WIDTH="37"><div> <B>Mail</B></div> </tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP><NOBR><div> <A HREF="mailto:fotonguy@aol.com" TARGET="_top" TITLE="mailto:fotonguy@aol.com"><U>fotonguy@aol.com</U></A></div> </NOBR></tD> </tR> <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 16 WIDTH="37"><div> <B>AIM</B></div> </tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="117"><div> <A HREF="aim:goim?screenname=fotonGUY&message=Where+you+at,+faggot+?"
