Why is it so god damn hard to get a session going in montreal?! I dont get it, noone freestyles anymore, it seems!

I want to plaaaaaay, here are some combos and stuff I want to hit.

swirl > far swirl > rpt > superfly
whirlwind > grifter > whirlwind > grifter
flip. symp eggs.. I want to hit like Symp egg > toe blur > Symp egg, and stuff like that.

I also want to get my flip beds and fogs up to par, I've neglected them too long, just like my double-downs flip side.

The double-downs I have a date with this summer though, when I start to play every day bymyself in the morning to train hardcore!!

I've stopped watching footbag videos. I dont know why, but I just don't care what anyone else is hitting these days.

I NEED A JOB. FAST. Why can't people just hand me money just for being alive, it would makes things SO much easier.

I want to shred :cry:

You aren't interested in seeing how your friends in the footbag community are progressing? Thats too bad, I'm sure many people (including myself) are anxious to see a new video of you and all the neat stuff you are hitting these days.

Lowrider Laroche is just a penis sometimes, think nothing of it :D
I see Laroche footage all the time and it Larocks! But there just isn't enough video production in footbag period. Like there are sooo many players that I'd watch video after video of them, but there is a serious lack. Tis a shame.

I dont know.. I just have so many personal problems right now, its hard to care what anyone else is doing. Im so used to updating this blog that I will just keep writing whatever, to get it off my chest.

There are soooo many footbaggers now, that I feel a bit distant and out of the loop alot of the times, and become more impartial. But videos.. I don't know, there are so many made these days, and if I dont recognize who made it, or if they aren't good friends, I dont bother anymore.

Thanks for wanting to check out what I'm hitting, I'm just not interested in 99% other peoples game right now. Maybe it'll pass, but for right now, I'll just peoples blogs.

In other news, life sucks, and I feel pretty worthless right now. I wish I knew what I wanted to DO in life. I need an education; I can't go around working with unskilled morons all the time, and dealing with people either face to face or on the phone.

I think a trade, or some sort of technical course would be what I would be interested in. I like working on projects, what ever they may be, and coming out of the experience with enough knowledge to do something different, and more complex.

this has got to be the most bipolar page of your blog I've seen so far ;) hang in there, slick. I'm in the *exact same place*. I dropped out, can't get a decent job, just fucking around, not enough money. I'm also thinking of going back to school (in TO right now checking out the city / ryerson / etc). It's guy's like us that need this time to fuck around and be poor and pissed before we can have our head in the right place for formal education.

see you when I see you... did you ever put some lyrics and a groove together? I'm still down.
BRICK!

Thanks for the support, its greatly appeciated!

Know what else is appreciated? Being able to post my opinions. Thats why I like posting in the montreal blog. I can post ALLLLLL the opinions I want, all day if I have to, and people are going to go nuts about it, like everywhere else on this forum. Heres an arbitrary and completely semi-random example:

"Hey man, can anyone give me some tips on mirage?"
"Sure. I like to set about waist hi-"
"HEY DONT RUIN HIS STYLE!!! PEOPLE DO THINGS DIFFERENTLY THEN YOU, YA KNOW! BLAH BLAH BLAH I BET VASEK USES MAGNETS BLAH BLAH BLAH WEAR A SEATBELT WHEN YOU DRIVE BLAH BLAH BLAH"
"Thanks for the tips guys!"

People dont realize that posts with questions or asking for advice are bound to have multiple opinions. What makes people go so ape-shit when other people don't agree with them?

Modified, I salute you.

Im getting evicted in 10 days - See why I'm so bitter lately?

I also managed to suck at a small 2-man session yesterday, though I managed to hit swifter BS (Not OS yet).

Pdx. swifter hurts my back. Until I find out a better technique for it im not going to practice it any more.

New Job! I'll be working at DCI Telecom.. 10.50 starting. But get this: After 3 months of customer service im being pro-mo-ted to "support tech", which means increase in pay, and all I'll have to do is write VBA scripts, install software, set up/maintain networks, etc.

I know that I wrote that I don't like telephones, so this news might come as a shock to some of you!! 8O :o :o 8O , but you see, I thought about what I don't like about telephones, an here it is: Sales. I dont like having to deal with "sales" in any kind. I hate commission. In THIS job, I don't have to deal with that. The stuff I'll do for the first 3 months are things like "hello, yes we re-activated your account. Thank you", and typing stuff into a computer. Hell I'll do anything at this point.

Thursday will be my next shred day, I believe. Im anxious! I wan't to be good. Also, as a treat to all of you who read so far in this post.. stay tuned for some footage..

Same BAP place..
Same BAP time..
