Hood's House

Had a fun short solo session at the clinic. I think my knee is about ready for the jam. Tonight I've been itching to kick cause I know what lies ahead. I keep gettin up and just shredding in my tiny little room barefoot. T-shirts are in the process of being made, but the people I've been dealing with seem to be having problems for whatever fucking reason they are making. Tomorrow I'm gonna go with my good buddy to the liquor store and sams to prepare for the cookout. I think I'm just gonna grab shit spontaneously for the party. I know i'm gonna get the usual chips, pop, hotdogs, hamburgers etc. But I'm thinkin somethin else to kick it up a notch on the grill, maybe some chicken or barbeque stuff. Then get my fruit on so I can make some booomb jungle juice. I can't make jungle juice properly because according to drinkmixer.com , jungle juice uses a shit ton of different stuff to make about 20 gallons of that stuff....wow is all I have to say to whoever endeavors in such a journey. I could get half of parkersburg fucked up if I made that much.

So all I gotta say is I'm really excited for the WV Jam...usually after something all monumental like that, you don't go to another for a while, but I've already planned on hitting Funtastiks. Work hasn't confirmed my time off yet, but they better !!!!

Well, today was crazy great ! I've never been at work and in such a good mood. It's all cause the WV Jam is like, right here in my face, and just waitin to happen. So bob picked up penske and they showed up at my house, really fuckin cool. After a bit of True Playaz we went to kick a bit. My legs were real fresh for a bit, but then slowed down after about 30-40 minutes. Penske wasn't as god like as I thought, not to down him. He is really fuckin good, and hit some real shit. I'm so used to just seeing videos of him hittin long good shit, EVERY TIME, so it's nice to see that we're all human.

After that, we went to wal-mart to pick up some goods to finish off the jungle juice. We were so dehydrated that all we had in our cart was like, 10-15 gallons of different types of liquids. Even though we had shit loads of drinks, Penske still bought a water at checkout, and as we were leaving , "Hold on, I'm gonna get a pop out of these machines." So yes, great session ! We got home and made the jungle juice cause we gotta let that stuff set a bit and soak the alcohol up with the fruit. It is deeeeelicious...that and all I had was one cup and god damn I feel great ! I think Penske is the shit, cause I had a pretty good buzzed talk with him and he seems so damned cool. The main thing is that he's finished his associates in Kinesiology, and I find that one of the most...or maybe, the most, interesting thing to study. He is all agressive with his shred, eats all sorts of stuff that is down my lane, just seems like a guy I'd like to have in the WV Crew, ya know ?? Too bad he is so fuckin west coast while we're all in this humid east coast. All I can say is I can't wait for Caleb my boy, all the CiC to safely arive, some more Penske ownin action, and everyone else to arive so we can all just talk and shred to our hearts desire. I reiterate - fuck competition, it's all bout the offside shred baby, oh yeah !!!

The Jam sounds so phat already and I havent even read about it! Were you drunk when you wrote that btw? Just curious.

Miss you Hoodlum

Say hello to the Krew for me.

I don't think I was...but anyway, good to hear from you Nick. I just got done capturing 2 tapes worth of footage and edited with adobe premiere from about 9:30 PM to now...4:30 am. I couldn't help it !!! I started understanding premiere more and more, and for some reason, I'm not tired. So I'm just cutting myself off tonight, I've went over the limits of editing. Funtastiks in 2 weeks !!!

The Jam was last weekend. It was pretty fun. Couldn't kick much because of my knee. You don't really need to kick to have a good time at events.

Going white water rafting this weekend.

I just woke up and my eyes are going to implode. Off to work.

I'll write up a more extensive review sometime, but recently I've been real busy with normal life and editing the WV Jam vid. So far I've got about 9 minutes done and I'm planning on finishing the last section and releasing it before I run off to Funtastiks. Picking up Adobe Premiere took a little time, but it's nice knowing two different programs to edit with. Unfortunately , I've lost my 3rd tape so all those memories are missing...

To recap- it was most of Sunday's shred, so all Josh Gayhart footage is pretty much gone, a chunk of the tennis court shred gone, the footage of CiC posing gone, pool party gone, freestyle off diving boards gone, penske remaking the section where vasek is shredding infront of the pool with people doin frontflips intot the pool....

gone. And more, but alas, all those memories are with me up here *points to head* great times...great friends.

Yeah, but your drinking problem doesn`t deteriorate the shred thats captured on video.

Looking forward to the vid. Sounds like good times.

Good night tonight. Worked the ole 10-7, exercised for about 30 minutes, and then shred near an hour. I've learned that I'll keep any lower extremity workout on seperate days of footbag, or atleast spread them out in time more. They felt a bit shaky and drained of energy. I've done normal workout routines for core and upper body and then kicked, and it's usually not a problem. Finished with a nice 25 guiltless run which was a suprised cause I was dyin.

Tonight I'm gonna go all out and clean up the kitchen, do my laundry, fix 2 ramen noodles, play drums, edit some wv jam vid, aaaand then get some sleep so I can wake up to the lovely feeling of a needle going into my arm to take my plasma for an hour, and you can't forget about the ole work from 10-7

Totally pumped for this weekend. I hope this feeling never goes away when events come around. It's always a fresh feeling of excitement, hopefully there will be some good exposure so we can represent. One thing that I was wondering though...what if the weather is hellacious ??

bob · Post by **bob** » 30 Aug 2005 13:32

well i've been shredding alot lately. twice in the last 3 days and i think i am gonna shred again today. also last night i hit a few combos that were nice because i had thought about them and then hit 2 of them on the first try. things like

gyro mirage > toe op blender > sealed
then
gyro mirage > toe op drifter > sealed.

other than that i had a couple good combos. i had a kid come up to me and ask what i was doing and busted out probably a 10+ contact unique run with both sides atom smasher and ended in a ps whirl.

i was walking on campus today and i thought of a cool combo i'm gonna try tonight

legeater > legbeater > repeat

ummmmmmmmmm other than that i guess just my flip steppings been getting slightly better and my flip atomic slightly worse. i hate sets.

"goodnews everyone !"

I believe I've completed the edit for WV Jam, it should be about 15 minutes long. I'm gonna watch it one more time and then I'll render it for broadband users and dial uppers. Should be up sometime tomorrow night.

I wish you had the lost tape, I am sorry for your loss.

Looking forward to Brad footage !

HooD · Post by **HooD** » 30 Aug 2005 19:09

Sorry in advance Aaron, Brad has been injured for quite a while. He didn't kick much, and we didn't catch much 'good' action, BUT, he still is in the vid.

Zeke · Post by **Zeke** » 30 Aug 2005 21:12

Hope you find that missing tape eventually. Can't wait to see the vid. Added 2 more paragraphs to my WV story. Sorry for the delay and thanks for reading. Comments and feedback appreciated

Good update Zeke , I always get a couple laughs every time you add a paragraph or so. On the note of the vids, they're both completed, but for whatever reason I've been having problems uploading them. I've attempted .org, and also my website, I'm now attempting yousendit.com . If it's not done by tomorrow morning, I'm burning them onto CD, and doing it at work. I'm gettin all anxious to put it out, but it's been nothin but bad luck today with the whole uploading thing. BAH !

On note of shred and gas prices. Gas just went up to 3 dollars and 10 cents which is fucking nuts. I understand that gas prices go up, and of course eventually it would be 3 dollars, hell, 5 dollars. BUT the main word is eventually. Prices just jumped up about 60 cents, so my ass went biking today to downtown. It was too dark and I didn't have that good of a session, but I did get a good work out. So atleast I gained some stamina for this weekend at Funtastiks. I got home and I noticed it felt like my ankle is somewhat tweaked. It can't be anything too bad because I didn't really notice anything during shred. *shrug* I just hope that I can get the videos up for everyone that came to the jam so they can reminisce about the good times. Come Friday after work, I'm takin off to PITTSBURG !!! and then Caleb and I shall take off in the weeeee hours of Sat. morning to FUNTASTIK - 20th Classic

Edit :: One of the yousendit.com files just finished...so I guess here is the smaller sized file for anyone that wants it

I'll make sure that this shit is good to go tomorrow night, high and low files.

2nd WV Footbag Jam (small)

2nd WV Footbag Jam (big)

Fast uploads for the people who check the blog. I still haven't figured out why .org isn't uploading my vids...I'm going to try it at work. Hope you enjoy it ! This was my first vid edited in Adobe Premiere, and my first long vid that I've edited. So it was a different experience as a whole using a new program and hours of footage.

No footbag news. I'm going to kick with John sometime this week and test the progress of my therapy. I've been working my core muscles a bit. All movement begins in the core and I think most people ignore these important muscles. I know I have. Lots of trunk stabilization, physioball work, pushups, dynamic stretching and balance exercises are what I do mostly.

There are so many things I want to be doing right now. Days are too short.

edit: I got the original Transformers series complete on DVD. Licensed version brand new for $40. Oh yeah!
