If you haven't noticed a trend with a lot of these pictures they depict young people binge drinking and ruining their lives...or you could depict these as young adults having the best time of their life which is only "INTESIFIED" by the incorporation of a social lubricant.

The following pictures document the time that Brad, Aaron, Matt, Joe (my younger brother), my dad and I journeyed to the land of the Great White North...CANADA!!!!!

We hopped on a plane to Alberta, Canada, namely Banff. This place was awesome except for the extreme cold.

Aaron is pointing to the ridiculous cold that we endured when we were snowboarding, -15 celsius (whis is 5 degrees Farenheit) this is midday to, it got even colder in the night.


Brad decided to ambush my ass when I had my feet strapped in, I took it like a man though.


Here we are on our way out to the local watering holes for the night. My younger brother is on the right and he is only 17 at the time. The legal drinking age in the providence of Alberta is 18 (1 yr younger than the rest of Canada). I gave him my birth certificate to try and get him in the bar. The first place we went to the bouncer checked his certificate and this is how it went.

Bouncer: Do you have anything else, I can't accept this?
Joe: No that's all I have man.
Bouncer: I don't know if I can let you in, I usually need a picture ID or something...are you gonna drink alot?
Joe: Yes.
Bouncer: Allright...head on in.

Us celebrating our victory over the man. Check out how Mutha F-ing hardcore they look.

So we set out on a mission to take as many pictures with random girls, we tried to make sure they were hot at first but then the social lubrication dropped our standards a little.

The Asian chick on the right was UNBELIEVABLY smoking. Plus you could see through her frinds shirt. I know we are yet simple men.

Here is Matt and Aaron posing with some random girl. If you look closely at the door you will notice that it appears to be wet. This is because Aaron got lazy and didn't get out of the car to puke.

Rewind 3 hours to the first bar. These girls were twins, and we thought they were the hottest girls there, but as you can see, they are not. But their twins!!!

The girl on the left has been blurred out for your protection. Because she's F-ing ugly. The other two, farily smoking with a side of cowboy hat.

More Pics from Colorado

I was looking through my friends pictures and came across these gems. These were taken during the hot body contest at the mid-mountain lodge. I forgot to mention before. If you couldn't tell before my outfit was awesome. Thunder Road lightning bolt t-shirt, bandana, aviator sunglasses, swimming shorts and teal long underwear. I was f-ing ready to tear this thing apart.
Here is me warming up for the "big" competition. Always make sure your loose so you don't pull anything, well unless you're gonna pull some trim.


These girls wanted to wish me luck before my sendoff. Either that or they just wanted a piece of the Otis.


Here I am post victory. If you notice anything missing in this picture it is pretty much all of my clothes except underwear. You know what they say, "skin to win!!!"


This guy was awesome. Aaron had him convinced that he was Blue Note (I think that is what the jersey is?!?!) fan. His hair should speak for him.


Coming next: More history as you know.

Blast from the past cont'd

So did I mention that I like to travel? These pictures document a little of our (Aaron and mine) trip out to Steamboat Springs Colorado. This place is sweet. We took a Greyhound bus (1 of 7) out to Colorado. It took 27 hours. Aaron and I decided that we were going to drink heavy in the beginning so we would pass out. That plan worked great for the first 3 hours, that's when the people on the bus decided to pass out the "FREE" liquour and beer. Let me paint a picture for you:

Aaron: Dude what are you going to drink?
Garth: I have gin and tonic, man Gilbey's is the shit!
A: I have vodka and lemonade. This is a great idea! (insert holler)
G: [To the bus] Come on guys lets parrrrtaaaayyy.
BUS: shut up!!!
A: Come on don't be such pussies.
G: Yeah were hardcore are you hardcore?
BUS: SHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!
{time lapse 3 hours and 1/2 fifth each}
A: I think that did the job I am going to pass the fuck out!
G: Yeah me too, see you in Nebraska.
BUS: Whoooooooo pass me a beer bitch. Chug that shit.
A & G: FUCK!

When we arrived in Steamboat it was awesome. They had a few events lined up for us. Keg tosses. Bar crawls. Hot body contests (more stories about that below). Chicks in bikinis (which we saw very few of.

This is Aaron, myself and a couple other people after the "Hot Body" contest. I am not wearing a shirt because I ripped it off during the competition. Yeah boy, I competed in that shit. Aaron is not wearing a shirt because, yet again people had to wash their clothes in the middle of the night and there is nowhere else to do it. We're on a fricking mountain for christ's sake.


This is from our last night in Steamboat. We had just finished our Irish Car Bombs (Jaemson dropped in Guiness). If you can't tell by his face the Asian guy is "WASTED"!!!!! The place we went to was sweet. You grilled your own steak and shrimp. So if the cook sucked that night it was you. I tried to return mine because it was overcooked, "I said medium dammit!"


This is me pre hot body contest. The girl on the right of the pic is Kristy, she took second place in the women's division. The girl on the left seemed pretty ditzy but I'm sure she was a great person.


He's a model american citizen. With his can of beer, blonde lady and american flag. That shit brings a tear to my eye.


Here is Kristy trying to dominate my leg, or maybe just looking for a nice place to sit? The guy on the left of the pic competed in the Hot Body contest with me. See the hat on Kristy, that's her prize for coming in second place. Ask me if I won anything.


I won a free trip back to Steamboat Springs (lodging and lift tickets)! How did he do that you ask? I took the place by storm. I have to find the pics but to set the stage...YOU DON'T GET FAMOUS DOING PUSSY SHIT! You might want to write that down, its a good nugget of knowledge.
