Raahhh!!! Damn stupid me!

So I go on MSN and talk to Vida and we agreed to meet on the 1 PM bus heading uptown to go do uptown stuff that we need to do.

I rushed to campus and pounded back a bigass breakfast and then pedelled hard downtown to the bus stop. I hid and locked Hotdog behind some dumpsters and then stood there waiting at the bus stop, I was perfectly one or two minutes early.

This one bus came called the "Strathcona" and I thought to myself three things at that point 1) that didn't sound very familiar as something I have taken before. 2) It sounded less convincing than "kingston centre" which was basically where I wanted to go.. i thought.. or something.. 3) I really should have asked Vida what the 1 PM bus was called that I was supposed to be catching.

So the Strathcona came and paused to see if I wanted on, I decided against it figuring something more appropriate seeming would come along soon.

It left and a few minutes later some old ladies showed up and informed me that I should have gotten on that bus. And now I bet Vida got on the bus and figured that I didn't care enough to catch the bus. :cry:
I tried so hard!

I rode around on my bike and then looked at some antiques by myself instead of doing fun uptown stuff with Vida. :cry:

I wanna go hang out with Vida.

Vida's lavers STILL haven't come yet!!

I ordered them some time in march! :twisted:


So today is a really wierd day.
The two people I live with currently are moving out!
I have lived with the dude Ian the last two years and the girl Maral for 3 years, that is ALL of my university years of living in a house and not residence.

Tomorrow is a really fucking cool day!
Jared Mackay of the KFM and our friend Matt are moving in!!
Wooo!!!

I wanted to get to move too and I feel like I could use a change of scenery. So I am moving rooms! hahaha

I am downsizing to a smaller room, but in reality that doesn't say much because my room is fucking absurd! The room I have lived in for the last three years is 20 feet long, 9 feet wide and it has 11 foot cielings... wait.. I am going to go measure all those with my tape measure because I always forget the dimensions and then I feel like a liar when I fuck them up. checking...

Okay I was off by one foot. it is 20 X 9 X 10.

I broke my measuring tape by making it go out too far while trying to measure my room and I sat there whimpering for a sec and then said aloud "I am a mechanical engineer." sternly.

Then I grabbed my tool kit and took it apart, fixed it and put it back together and it works sweet now.

Wow, that whole room measurement story was so meaningless!

Anycase, I am moving into a different room later!!

Our house is pretty crazy actually.

Have I talked about it before?
I never remeber.

It's a loft above a toystore downtown blah blah blah it's big and open and there is a crazy abandoned apartment I cracked us into that is ONLY accessible from the room I am moving into.

There are two rooms, the first was used as Ian's personal drving range and lounge all semester. He has a proper golf driving range mat and a net to drive balls into. He has a TV and stereo back there, it's so cool.

Anyways, as I type this he is moving all his shit out of the house! Whoa!

I am going to use the driving range room as the shred room! I am going to pull up the sweet carpetting from Maral's room and put it back there for a nice even bouncy shred surface. It will have good lighting and a pounding sound system!

Then there is a set of stairs that go down to an even bigger room that will be filled up with couches and TV's (we have THREE TV's in the house now (until september when Ian takes back two)) and bongs and a houka.

I can't wait to have a cool new room!

I won't have a window anymore but I will have a skylight that extends up like.. ten feet!

Ahhh yaayyyy moooving dayyy!!!

I gotta go pick up my old lavers and a footbag from this guy that is leaving town.

He doesn't know it but I am going to bring him a bag to shred with to keep! Yesss footbag! :D

Hey, I had the best idea. I partied in a house one time that had a double layer of couches in their living room - it was like a movie theater! I think we should do that, 'cause we have a bunch of extra couches, and I think i have an extra table we can put the couch on. Also, I have a 150ft coaxial cable so we can run it to the TVs in the back room.

I also, I should have just emailed this to you instead of posting it in your blog.

Also, I could have just told you tomorrow when I move in!!!

Oh well.

No no, I like it much better this way.

I like having all this fun stuff concentrated together.

I like your double couch idea.


I just said goodbye to Maral and JBone. They have played HUGE roles in my life over the last few years, it's so strange that they are gone now.

I am really happy that they found eachother and that they are happy.

I keep getting choked up thinking about the people I just said goodbye to.

It was so strange and powerful to hear them wishing me a good life...

I'm really moved right now.. I don't know in what regard though.. I am just feeling.. crushed with emotion.. I can't even put my finger on what it is I am feeling though. It's just alot of weight.

Oh shit! I am gonna go check how well Maral's carpet pulls up! :D

I am going to live in a different room tommorrow! Cool!

It's going to be wierd walking to a different door to go to my room!

okay, alot has happened since my last post.

I have two new roomates and my living sitch is fucking amazing.
We all hang out and we're friends!

I spend alot of my time with Vida and that's because she is so much better than any human I have ever met. I feel compelled to spend all of my time with her, I am amazed how much of me she can put up with!

No one in the world makes me laugh as hard as her, I value that so very highly.

I am really glad that now my house is made up of people I like and want to spend time with.

I don't feel motivated to write alot right now even though I am exploding with things to say.

Oh well, I am going to let my blog fall back to page two where I found it today.

Fuck guys, I can't believe you're starting a shred house!!! I am so unbelivably jealous of you!!! Seriously, I have been saying how badly I want to live in shred house for ages now... I guess I'll have to start visiting Kingston cuz your setup sounds SWEET ASS...

I haven't seen you guys in so long... Well I saw you, Tom, last month, but still, I miss you guys... Get together soon? Canada day seems so far away... :(

Fucking sweet!!

It's so good that I spend way less time on modified. My house is just so damn condusive to hanging out now!

I meant to write about GRASS way long ago but I forgot to, so here are a bunch of memories that stand out for me:
- Nate Pipenberg is TINY and AMAZING at footbag! his bags are really super sweet too and he's a nice guy that I liked shredding with. He's got the twiggiest legs ever that make for the huges dexing windows ever.
- The Digges Brothers are both super cool and chill and nice and SMOOTH! I really enjoyed spending time in and out of the circles with them. They have both gotten really good! Will took the intermediate sick3 with an open level combo (props!) and josiah beat me in shred30, good work guys!
- I competed for my first time!! I took 3rd in intermediate shred30!
Nate took first in shred30 and won one of his own bags. I won a shred video and I wanted to ask nate if he'd be willing to trade for the bag he won but he left before I could ask him. I never got my video either. :(
- I competed in stoned sick1 and took the competition by hitting egg planet and I won a sweet glass pipe
- I sold all the bags I brought with me! :) I really hope the people that got them are happy. I am going to be making alot more once my material comes, I finally have my bags looking 'pro'
- Zach Hoffa has gotten alot better at footbag, and I like him too. He bought the all red bag I made, I was happy that he was the one that wound up with it.
- Ryan Thomass and I were samurai soldiers at the party at mike anello's house. it was fun. I have always been a huge fan of Ryan and it was alot of fun that he came to the tournament and that I got to play around with him. We carried around wooden swords and wore camo shorts and acted menacing.
- Nick Laroche is fucking hilarious! I totally didn't know I was going to get along with him so well but the whole time we hung out and laughed alot and made fun of stuff. Also, he and I spent alot of quality time going to Taco Bell with matt over and over.
- Peter Irish is the fucking man!!! It was great getting to talk to him more, he seems like such a wealth of awesomeness. I felt cooler by osmosis just from being near him. He's so wise and omniscient and accomplished.
- I felt pretty bad that I didn't go to the big performance. I actually had assumed that it was planned that everyone would go to the big show but it turned out that the plan was to go to a party at mikes house instead and fuck the show. I wish the big show was included in the price of registration and all that, I didnt know until right before the show that it was going to be a pile of extra money.
- I hit (invented?) flying toe set wauxpin first try ever
- I hit torque>ripwalk repeat when chris dean and me and ... josh digges?? were trying it and in my head I dedicated it to Ken Somolinos because he asked me to hit that


Lots of other stuff happened.. I just don't remember and I don't feel like scraping my brains for memories anymore.

I downloaded CSS5 parts 1&2 from freedomfootbags last night and they have changed me!

I would LOVE for my style to be somewhere between Ryan Mulroney and Jim Penske! mmmm springy and light while attacking the bag with double downs like cracks of the whip and symposium all over the place. Combine that with some of Allan's lightfooted grace and some obligatory Ricky Moran for good measure....

Sigh.. one day. Ive got ALOT of work to do!
I love how in footbag you are so free to develop in whatever directions you fancy.
I guess it comes down to some combination of what your body is naturally inclined to do and what tricks you feel motivated to try and desire to hit.
Though I suppose that outside influences also play a role in your style development. It's cool how you can see 'local styles' because of some individual (or group) that was very influential on a particular scene. The crews from Denmark and Poland look totally different in their playing styles, but the players in each area all tend to have some common characteristics of their games. It's interesting to watch.

You can totally see my style in Derrick's shred, which would make sense because I taught him right from the start. I wonder if Jared will pick up features of my style too.

Interesting.. very interesting...

FUCK I hate humans and interacting with them. I am NOT a people person, I am a wretched loner loser that can't handle people because no one can handle me.

I can't handle being around people because inevitably one twat is going to have some shit with me.

Tonight someone THREATENED MY LIFE and told me he was going to kill me if he ever saw me again because of some bull shit!

Dan Wax and I were playing around, I guess I kicked him in the sack or something, he got his panties all twisted and had to nail me back. He got his job done but his buddy wasn't done over-protecting him.

Here is the direct quote I was told tonight "If I see you again, I am going to kill you."

that was wispered into my ear, awesome.

what a fucking piece of shit.

so I announced to the people we were with "this guy just threatened my life! this is bullshit." and I left the bar.

FUCK

raaahhh

I hate people

I hate how fucking retarded and weak and simple and naive and thoughtless EVERYONE is!!

ALL OF US!!!! WE ARE ALL SHIT!!!

NO ONE CAN ESCAPE BEING HUMAN! (minus the non-humans of course)

So if I am stuck being human does it mean I am as moronic as Muscles VonDickwad??? Hell no! I was the one telling him to calm down and to chill out.

oh yeah, and he threatened to SMASH my pipe that I won at GRASS!! what a fucking asshole!

I should also mention that I am in ottawa visiting Ryan Seath right now and I just left the bar and walked home to his house because I didnt want to be around that fucking asshole that said he was going to kill me.

I miss Vida. :cry:
She's so good and wonderful and she doesn't say she is gonna kill me and try to measure penis' with me.

FUCK I HATE GUYS!!!!!!!!!

guys are SO FUCKING STUPID!! especially drunk ones!!!
I know my point is slightly negated by the fact I am semi-drunk, but drunk dudes are fucking stupid and motivated by the most absurd bullshit ever.

I hate thugdoggmasterwhite kids that limp around acting tough too.

I hate everyone.

I am going to go to bed now and hope I wake up without people threatening me.

oh yeah, and I was shredding with ryan today and jon haber happened to walk up to us. we were talking and shit and when he went to leave he was like "hey tom hit a 5 add for me" and I was all "how about a fearless link instead?" and I hit blurry whirl>paradox torque for him FIRST TRY.

fuck today
fuck people
i love footbag
i love Vida
the end.
