Snowboarders unite!

Today I met an interesting man named Paul Burney. Who is this, you ask? Well, I’m not entirely sure either. I actually don’t know if he is interesting at all, but I do know that he loves snowboarding and snow sports. I met Mr. Burney on Diigo, a social bookmarking website. 

The way we met was quite interesting. I was all alone on the internet, watching my favorite snowboarding videos, when out of the corner of my eye, I see Mr. Burney. We were both at the Angry Snowboarder store. I was in the video aisle and he was in the snowboarding gear section. I notice that we are the only two people in this store, so I decide to have a peek at what Mr. Burney is looking at. He’s checking out really ugly helmets and stuff. I already own a helmet so I’m not interested in getting another.  As I make my way out of the store after freeloading on all the videos, Mr. Burney unknowingly drops his wallet. Instead of being a Good Samaritan, I decide to take advantage of the oblivious Mr. Burney. Unfortunately, there is no money. Just a bunch of receipts. Receipts for ugly snowboard boots, ugly goggles, and ugly ass clothing. I’m thinking this is the lamest guy I’ve ever met until I notice a plane ticket to Sainte Foy, France. With the ticket in hand, I bolt out of the store never to see Mr. Burney again.

You must be thinking I’m a liar, but I’m not. This really is the way we met.  Diigo is a social bookmarking website and Mr. Burney, as I have discovered, is part of a group called Snowboarding group. I started following this man because I saw a comment he made in one of the Snowboarding group's threads. He commented that one of his favorite places to snowboard was in Jasna, Slovakia. As I continued reading, I came across pictures of Sainte Foy that made me fall in love instantly. Mr. Burney is quite active in the Snowboard group. He's made approximately 10 snowboard-related bookmarks, but he has hundreds in total. Snowboarding is only one of his many hobbies, but from his snowboarding bookmarks, I've already found a few websites that I will enjoy.

Because of Mr. Burney, I've discovered an Insider's Guide to Secret Ski Resorts and also a Snowboard Length Calculator that calculates the best snowboard dimensions based on your physical weight and size. I actually have much to thank Mr. Burney for, so if you have caught me, I apologize for stealing your plane tickets.
