I'm doing 24 things
having the knowledge to operate another type of vehicle is an excellent asset to have. What if a stick shift is all you have to drive and you’re friends were drunk? Or you needed to rush somewhere in a critical situation? Learn it with someone who has the patience to teach you, drive it as often as you can to maintain your knowledge and once you’ve really learned it, you’ll always know how. Its worth it, and its fun!

the first day of boarding is the worst. the second day of boarding isn’t that great either. but near the third or fourth, if you really keep at it will become a new sense of fullfillment you’ve been waiting for.
rushing down a snowy mountain with your own skills, cutting through the snow is an excellent feeling. i don’t play sports of any kind particularly but snowboarding i really enjoy.
if you’re a DIY kind of person then just try your hand at boarding and focus on making it work. if you are uneasy, everyone i know who has taken beginner courses seem to learn more quickly and are less likely to give up after the first day.
remember, the first time is the worst! this is the “make or break” session and most people give up after it. keep going and your efforts will be rewarded. if you still don’t get it, even after some classes at least know that you gave it a full attempt and perhaps snowboarding is not for you.
I was an extra in the film, “collateral” in the club scene full of asians. It was a long day. The day pretty much went as follows:
6pm – arrive, check in, wait.
12pm – shoot the scene
1pm – go home
It was a lot of waiting around but the experience in the scene was quite interesting. Tom Cruise walked through the crowd with Jamie in the scene I was in. During the wait time, lots of stuff was happening. They were sending people home because too many showed up and there was a chance that me and a couple of others I went with were about to be sent home empty handed. But we knew someone on the inside which was a plus.
It’s about who you know in that business. A great experience, I’d do it again because it will be different everytime. Just be prepared for the possibility of a long and uneventful day.
