Re: Jay's Blog.
Salutations,
So, I was the best man at a wedding. Instead of doing the typical "Oh hi, lets go get drunk and look at skanks" routine, I decided to do something slightly classier, more memorable, and more in tune with what I consider a "Best man"s duties would entail. Promoting good decision making, ensuring a good relationship beginning, and bond.. For the last time, in such an unconfined way. My present to the bride and groom, was a small booklet, 15 pages, of situations, things to think about, and general happiness-promoting material for them... Made entirely from living with a girl for 7 months. It dawned on me, that, seeing them about to get married... EVERYONE hates marriage, apparently. Ok, except Tuukka, because he is Finnish. Such a pimp.
Anyway, people always say "Your life is over" and very, very depressing things in regard to marriage. "You'll never get sex again", and very encouraging things such as this. While I haven't been married for 20 years, I have lived with a girl for 7 months, and, as a best Man, I saw it as my duty to get him excited to get married, and to start this new chapter in his life. Even if in 20 years their marriage is old and stale, starting it out hating life, but seeing marriage as a necessary burden, seems... Foul.
So, with my bachelor party, I took the groom and two friends to New York City. THe groom is beginning to be a bit of a hipster, so I took him to Brooklyn, and, he figuratively jerked it the entire time. Overall, the trip had a lot of great memories, bonding, food and I believe set him up to really look forward to the girl he promised his life to. Also, no regrets, and no bride worrying about what we were up to. It was great. I did a really good job at the wedding, and, my speech was the only one that made him go redfaced and cry for many minutes. So, either he really regretted me, or, I actually did a really good job.
Something about doing a good job as being a best man, just, makes me feel like a better person. It also makes me think a lot about Marriage. I have a female here, who, well, has almost been dating me for a year... She also wants to move to Europe with me... Which I intend on doing in 8 months, once she is done graduating. My plan is to get to Austria, Germany, Switzerland, Denmark, or Finland. I Just need a job. Any job that is good enough to get me to move to Europe. Ideally Engineering of course, but, that might be tricky.
That being said,
ANY footbagger from those countries, if you could somehow introduce me to job opportunities (note, I only speak German/English fluently...) I'd give you a shred partner, and 2 years worth of bags. I *NEED* to move to Europe. I can't stand not being there. I will try every conceivable method to get a visa to work there. My year in Germany has been haunting me ever since I left. My month in Finland still makes me make Rye Bread in the mornings, to use my Juustohoyla to spread butter and cucumber all over it. I love Europia. Now, I really want to be in California with Steve for a while, because, jesus, he is a pimpstrodamous.... But, I think I might spend a month there or something before Europe maybe. I'm torn, because, the only reason I want to be in California is the Stanford Club, but, in terms of living conditions, etc,... I want Europe.
I'll probably make a more formal public announcement about my job desire in Europia somewhere. Any suggestions on how to do this, would be fancy.
In terms of footbag... I'm still in love. I've been playing almost every day, sometimes twice. I'm eating well, working out, stretching, and loving it. THat being said, I'm still not doing anything hard. My first contacts with the bag, I did 300 clippers in a row, without a single "clipper fuck". Like, every one had good form, and I wasn't breathing hard. My goal is to get 500 clippers in a row, without being exhausted, easily. Three weeks ago it was impossible for me to get 50 without a clipper fuck, so, I'm definitely getting there. Doing 100 clippers after my 300, didn't even result in me breathing out of my mouth. I want endurance, and consistency this time...
I got 16 far swirls. That might be my new record.
I got flip dimwalk->infinity->double spinning clipper 5 times in a row, first try.
Flip mobius->hand*10, no drops, for the first time I tried mobius in months...
Flip motion*5, with great control.
Also to try out toe, with new shoes, I got 18 flip smears->handcatch first try. So I still have my toe, I feel.
My back, with trying these "tricks" has been tight, but not injured feeling. I've been taking hot baths, too. I hope I can continue to grow my trick selection out, and just get my back a tiny bit stronger every session. I've been doing well with that so far.
SO, sure, I'm not doing 5 dexes, but I'm growing. Once I can get 500 clippers easily, and I build up say 10 tricks that don't hurt, I can't wait to string. I want to do this a bit Vasek style, and just get really good at a few awesome tricks. I need to get good at ripwalks this time. It is just such a fundamental trick, and, I'd love to be able to turn on Vasek mode, and just not do butterfly in competition. So, 100 ripwalks seems like a good goal when I'm strong enough.
I hope I can get my shred battery massive. Like, if I can do 300 contacts and not be that tired, if I can get that to 500... A 30 contact string should not be a function of my physical ability, but, mental. I know I can dex... Lots of dexes... God I can't wait to do a nemesis again. Grundle grundle grundle.. I Was also thinking, say, in 6 months if I'm strong.. I have like, 10->20 trick invention ideas... But, that'll be way in the future..
Stay strong, my fizzied. I promise to you that I wont be doing clippers forever. I'll get good again. I swearsies.

Re: Jay's Blog.
So, I've ramped up a bit of my sessions. I decided that I'd do marathon style basics, instead of needing to get 500 perfect clippers etc. Getting my endurance up will still happen if I go for 500 in a row, marathon style, and it will also push my limits. Some days I feel like 500 are easy, but some days *especially depending on food, time of day, etc* I just drop at 150 a few times in a row, etc. Pushing through clippers, even if you drop, and getting that 500 feels good.
Today, it was the first cold day session. I felt really weird, and my infinity/clippers in general felt really off. I was really frustrated, the wind was annoying me, I was really itchy, bugs were everywhere, cold... Etc... Not the best morning emotionally either. So, I said "fuck you bad legs. I'm getting my first 500 marathon infinities". God. It sucked so much. God it sucked. Everything frustrated me, but I knew that would happen. My goal was to do so many infinities, that I'd defeat them.
Turns out, I did, and ended up getting a few "strings" of 50+ infinities, with really good form, and getting less tired toward the end, and being less frustrated. Sure, my body still felt really weird, and whatnot, but I conquered it. It was a really nice experiment.
I went on to hit ~4 new beasts.
Food processor->spender->mind bender, both sides.
Spender->Food processor->mind bender, both sides.
I also got mind bender->food processor both sides.
And, I footed some other beasts, which'll come when I don't feel really angry and frustrated. It is nice, not having paradox blenders hurt at all. No impact for the win.
Oh, I also got a big boy job. Engineering, mhmm. Yay real money. Boo shitty economy where I applied to 428 jobs over 4 months.

Re: Jay's Blog.
The job is at a company who designs / makes road construction equipment. So, asphalt, lots of asphalt.
Two weeks in, and, MhMMMmm. I love it. I'm getting along wonderfully with everyone, people aren't annoyed with me yet, I'm really productive and I'm legitimately helping the organization. It feels so, so much better than school. Oodles, better I would declare.
More important than real life, is footbag.
I just had one of those testosterone sessions. So, fucking good. However, sadly, I can't really give "highlights" since, I'm not doing single links and big tricks.. So it is harder to summarize a bunch of good runs. I'll give a vague idea as to what happened though. Keep in mind, up until literally this session, I've still been scared of butterflies. A lot of this is to make Anz proud, when I play with him again.
Stepping drifter->stepping drifter->Stepping drifter->barfly swirl->run->other barfly swirl->stuff->blur->quantum mirage->quantum whirl->torque->other stuff with a magnificent drop.
Blurrier->bedwetter->dimwalk->bedwetter->dimwalk->ripwalk->fog->pixie whirl->pdx whirl->torque->pdx whirl->torque->barfly->blurry whirl->stuff.
Fairy everything->run.
Blubber->rubber->run.
Some progress on a link idea for the Anz film thing. If I hit it, someone will eat a goat whole.
And, to end the session,
Blurry torque->blurry torque->food processor->too close to wall bailed on a spender but it seemed like in a perfect world I would have sealed it.
I had so much fucking fun. Small, odd shaped room, but so much fun. I like playing in winter best.
Right, it isn't winter. My winter is anytime I can't play outside. Sorry.

Re: Jay's Blog.
Seems like an AMAZING session 
.
Lots of cool stuff in there for sure!
Also, seems like your back finally recovered pretty well? I guess you are not tryting crazy 5 dexes. But many tricks in there can definitly be stresful for the body and you are there now!!
Props man.

Re: Jay's Blog.
Balancing life as of late has been interesting. I've played three times this week thus far, but the sessions are kind of short, at maybe 1:15 each. At the moment, I'm really not attacking anything as a training program. I'm more searching the limitations of my back, and seeing where I can go with the sport. I'm finding the more I play, the broader my horizons are becoming.. But, pretty much good bye symposium. I can't have a session without tightness no matter what I do. Pure toe, only swirls, vortexs, atws, clippers.. No matter what, it just gets tight. It kind of reminds me of those people who are sick because of habit, but aren't "actually" sick. Like people who get in the habit of coughing, and just keep coughing for 3 years straight.
However, it isn't painful in daily life, it isn't painful when I shred, and only gets painful when I exceed where I can play in the game. Furious, is, the worst thing I've tried. Good god was that a bad decision 2 weeks ago. But then I tried a few nemesisodes today, as well as a fury, and, no *sharp* pain at all. I could see it was not the best route to train, but, a few weeks ago, one sunil and one nemesis, and I took a few days off... Today, I feel pretty fine.
As far as moving goes, San Fran, and Germany are on my biggest radar.... Moving to be part of the Stanford club would be excellence, but there are just.. Slight issues with it. Such as, none of my long term goals meshing with being an american, and all of them meshing with wanting to go to Europe. I could have fun for a year, potentially make good money, and mentally stroke chinchilla blankets everytime Steve talked to me, but I'm not sure if I'd be satisfied with it for long... Again, with my ideals, things like social systems, and how I could potentially raise a kid, etc... All in Europe.. Not America. So, it makes me hesitant to want to go there for a year... But good god, the Stanford Crew. If Steve was in Germany, I'd dance publicly and pay people to watch.
Oh Juho. I think about him often when I play.

Re: Jay's Blog.
So, footbag is still treating me quite well.
Today, I just casually picked up the bag, and without many cares given, played quite well.
Things like
Drifter->whirl*rpt->drifter->swirl*rpt->drifter->rev swirl*rpt->drifter->rev whirl*rpt->drifter->vortex*rpt.
Fog->dim*rpt->haze->park*rpt->bed->dim*rpt->stepping ss eggbeater->park*rpt came quite, quite naturally to me again. Maybe like, 5 tries?
Swifter->Ripstein*rpts again.
Blurry double pickup->park*rpt not too hard.
Pixie paradon->stepping ss double switch*rpt
Nothing outstanding, or groundbreaking... But sometimes it just feels good to drill, you know?
I really want a few drills, sometime soon. Some of those "This is really hard, and no one can deny it" type drills. I'll keep you posted.
Time to get to bed, and cuddle for 8 hours. Otters are badass. They carry rocks in their armpit, when they find their favourite rock. I know, right? Otters.
An ode to Otters.

Re: Jay's Blog.
I'm feeling like I'm getting back into the progress mode of footbag. My confidence is going up with every session, in a very positive trend. Yay!
I've been filming most of my sessions, and I'm trying out my laptop to edit, using Vegas instead of Premiere. Hence, a small delay in actually editing the footage.
Jorden will be off to Germany again.. Which, is both good and bad. If all goes to plan, I'll be joining the Canadian/Finnish movement to Germany, as I've got a living situation + work set up in Bavaria in June. I'm really excited to be a part of Europe. Woot woot.
In any case, unless something disastrous happens, like my car explodes, I have a definite 3 month plan to be in Europe, which is ~set in stone. I still have to get the VISA,
which, is apparently ridiculously easy, and free, for young canadian engineers. So, assuming that goes as planned, hell yes.
For all you Euro readers out there: Expect a Boy Jaychuck attending a tournament near you. Especially Finland.

Re: Jay's Blog.
I played quite well today.
You know how fucking good it feels to say that?
I had so much bounce in my game, each stall like a carrier pigeon whistling into a bed of warm spaghetti. Good Moses. How good can life feel?
Working on your game, seeing improvement, and having explicit results that don't lie, which you can repeat over and over... So good for confidence...
I'm going to begin spending a bit each night plugging away at some footage. I hope to make a decent little tripod video soon. The footage is a month old, since, I told myself I wouldn't film until I've done a few more training programs.
Anyway, the sauna is a cooking, and I must go join it. Dear Fizzied, things are looking up. Does this happen every mid-winter? Hug someone.

Re: Jay's Blog.
Played well. I've been doing a training program, which is, doing a warmup type drill ten times before I move on to the next.
It starts out with atw->atw*10 contacts, in->out, out->in.
Swirl -> rev swirl*10 contacts.
etc.
As a result of this, once I get to mid range difficulty, for example quantum leg->quantum ss leg-*rpt->quantum mirage->quantum ss mirage*rpt, I'm already done most of a session before I can fuck around and do harder things, or random drills, etc. However, having that training program just... Instills a massive sense of confidence, and inner Vasek. Mastering something, and just, getting ridiculously consistent at it feels like a completely different concept than big tricks. And, at the moment, that is more satisfying than big tricks + injuries.
After my training program and warmup, I hit some things which made me feel like blogging.
Grifter*6.
Infinity->grifter*4 bsos. For some reason infinity->grifters are quite hard to balance for me. Grifter*3 is easier than grifter->infinity->grifter almost. STICKING a grifter is so much about pivoting your hips, I find, and using your hips to twist you so that you are solid upon landing... Weird grammar. Anyway, for infinity I hardly use my hips that way, so, the momentum change is odd for me. Maybe I should use my hips that much for infinity. I am not sure. More next time with Ms. Frizzle and the loins of the fruitful rhino.
Most importantly, new drill.
Nuclear mirage->tripwalk*rpt->nuclear mirage->legbeater*rpt.
And finally,
Nuclear ss double down b2b. Think barfry b2b, just, another dex. Maybe as hard as nemesis b2b? What does a modifieder think about that? Who has even hit this? Maybe Enrique Iglesias?
It starts out with atw->atw*10 contacts, in->out, out->in.
Swirl -> rev swirl*10 contacts.
etc.
As a result of this, once I get to mid range difficulty, for example quantum leg->quantum ss leg-*rpt->quantum mirage->quantum ss mirage*rpt, I'm already done most of a session before I can fuck around and do harder things, or random drills, etc. However, having that training program just... Instills a massive sense of confidence, and inner Vasek. Mastering something, and just, getting ridiculously consistent at it feels like a completely different concept than big tricks. And, at the moment, that is more satisfying than big tricks + injuries.
After my training program and warmup, I hit some things which made me feel like blogging.
Grifter*6.
Infinity->grifter*4 bsos. For some reason infinity->grifters are quite hard to balance for me. Grifter*3 is easier than grifter->infinity->grifter almost. STICKING a grifter is so much about pivoting your hips, I find, and using your hips to twist you so that you are solid upon landing... Weird grammar.
