A Silly Man

Monday, March 30th, 2009

I can’t take it anymore. 24/7 news media is driving me crazy. The sky must really be falling. There seems to be nothing good to report on. And beating a dead horse seems to be the only approach left.

Times like these are difficult, yes. There are pundits, experts, doctors and counselors who will have all kinds of advice for how to deal with this financial and economic mess we’re in. I’m not any of these, but here’s my advice (based on absolutely nothing more than my own opinion)…throw on some Jimmy Buffett or The Boat Drunks. Wow! How’s that for earth-shattering advice? Okay, I’ll take it one step further. Don’t just throw it in and expect to feel better, but actually read and listen to the lyrics.

For me, it’s a huge help. For you, maybe it’s not Buffett or The Boat Drunks. So let’s at least agree on MUSIC. Throw some in…and listen.

Here’s a little Boat Drunks:

“You’re such a silly man everything you try to plan, plan, plan
Just sit back for awhile take some time to smile some things you weren’t meant to understand
Forget your self control too much sanity just takes its toll
Let the carnival begin cast your fears into the wind
Wind it up and let it go!

Paralysis by analysis is a modern man’s disease it can rob you of your life and steal you blind
We never really know how many choices that we lose when we take too long in making up our mind
That big old mynah bird he never worries ’bout a thing he just sits up in his tree all day and sings
When dwelling on the future it is good to bear in mind
Life’s what happens while you’re planning for other things

Life is a series of random events
And you know any course can go wrong
We spend all our lives seeking out happiness
Before we find it was there all along “

Worth repeating: “We spend all our lives seeking out happiness, Before we find it was there all along.”

Snapshots & Scenery

Scott recently sent this in. A great shot in the the Virgin Islands. As Scott put it, “every time I see this photo I think of Snoloha!”

Scott also gets the award for the coolest Snoloha order, which included a pair of Lounge Pants, the new Board Shop hoodie, the orange SnoPalm hat and the Palm Tree Chair Lift t-shirt. Scott, you’re bound to be the envy of your social circle with your new Snoloha gear, however I cannot be held responsible for your lack of ambition while lounging around in said gear. Don’t fight it. Just accept it.

Remember, there are 3 ways to win Snoloha gear:

New Pint Glass?

I’m thinking this might be a nice looking pint glass. What do you think? Should I? Lemme know.

Slackin’ on a Thursday

Friday, March 20th, 2009

You may have noticed that things around the Snoloha.com online world seemed a bit quiet yesterday. Perhaps spending the day snowboarding and skiing and Boyne Highlands had something to do with it. As we took a mid-day break in the parking lot to grill burgers and dogs, have a cold PBR and listen to some Jimmy Buffett, I had that quiet reminder to myself of why I launched this brand and this business, and what it really stands for…lifestyle.

I’ve said it before, and here it goes again…even I need those reminders now and then. A day away from the computer, the home office, the phone and daily distractions, in exchange for fun on the slopes and hanging with friends, “celebrating and enjoying all the seasons that get thrown at us somewhere between the islands and the arctic.”

Now, back to work. Luckily, work involves promoting a lifestyle…so it’s not too bad.

Keep those photos coming for a chance to win free Snoloha gear each month. Check out some of the previous winners here.

This is a great shot that Erica sent me of Cole doing a little 4-wheeling in his Snoloha Hoodie.

Pre Order & Save

Tuesday, March 17th, 2009

Okay. Here’s the deal:

Since the “Contrast” design ran away with the votes, it will be the next product available on the site. If you’d like, take advantage of pre-ordering and save.

We will be printing this on white 100% pre-shrunk, ring-spun, light weight cotton t-shirts (guys and gals cut). These shirts are super soft and comfy. They go great with the Lounge Pants and run the risk of quickly becoming an over-washed favorite T. But remember, washing is good…smelling bad is not.

The normal price will be $22.00. Bu you can pre-order for $15.00. All you have to do is shoot me a note and let me know the gender (guys or gals) and size. Don’t worry about paying until we go to print and it’s time to ship.

And the winner is…

Monday, March 16th, 2009

With just over 50% of the votes, the “Contrast” design ran away with it. So, your wish is my command. This will be the next t-shirt to go to print. And, I have other product ideas for this design as well.

Those that voted on “Boards” and “Passport” (21% and 18% of the votes), no need to worry as I plan on using those as well in the near future.

Thanks for all the feedback and the votes. Again, my goal here is to let you, the Snoloha customers and fans, really drive this brand forward. And this is another small step forward in doing just that. And thanks again Joe, for the great designs.

Next, just like with the Lounge Pants, I’ll be offering pre-orders at a discounted price…stay tuned!

“Sno” in the Islands

Thursday, March 12th, 2009

That would be Snoloha in the islands. More great pics from Rob & Erica and their recent trip to the British Virgin Islands. They saw the Snoloha t-shirt that I hung at the One Love Beach Bar and the stickers at Ivan’s Stress Free Bar, both located on Jost Van Dyke.

I wish I was there tonight on Jost Van Dyke
Sipping on some Foxy’s Firewater rum
Or kickin’ back with Ivan
With all my friends down in the islands
Wouldn’t take much for me to up and run
To another life somewhere in the sun
~Kenny Chesney, Somewhere in the Sun

By the way, keep all the photos coming. Upload them to your profile in the Snoloha Community and on the Snoloha Facebook Page for a chance to win the Snapshots & Scenery contest.
