ive had quite an iteresting week so far....well..an interesting few weeks now...lots of weird shit has been happening, lots of stupid bullshit arguments with my step mom (suprise suprise) and her allways blaming me for shit...but anyway...i cant wait for spike!!!! its going to be so sweet! ive been practicing alot and today i hit PS mirage...it felt really good..i think the symp. mirage wasnt that clean tho but im glad i hit it...and my strings have gotten pretty long now..its a nice feeling to know that im progressing, and plus its a great workout for me since im lazy as shit most of the time and footbag allways seems to get me off my ass. cant wait for spike and after that east coasts, then after that only like 2 weeks left and im outa school...lifes good... 8)

i had a shred today for the first time in like...2 weeks :roll: ...it wasnt that great, im so out of practice, ive gotten really lazy since summer started, so i gotta rebuild up my stamina and indurance and shit, one cool thing i hit today was fairy swirl, i hit it once yesturday in jeans and once today at the beggining of a string, its a cool feeling trick to do, it wasnt to hard either, ive been working on fairy sets for awhile now, i now am living with my mom up in beacon new york and its sorta hickish up here which kinda sucks, its a big change from new jersey and ive been doing some shredding around town and ill see people that ive never met before just come up to me and say "hey!! your that dude that does that shit with the hacky sack!" which is kinda cool because im sort of a "celebrity" around here now..well, gotta run, ill post later if i have another shred or something, peace.

school starts in 3 :( days summer was so fun, it went to fast. ive gotten my brother and my friend sorta into footbag, were gunna shred tomorrow and smoke a blunt or two :D ...im really glad that ive finally started to get afew people interested in footbag.

i really sucked at funtastiks, probably due to the fact thatt i was so hungover. im trying my hardest to get to kickass i really wanna try and make that tourny. i dont think im gunna party as much there because i really wanna shred hard. ive got alittle while till then so im going to skool soooo hard like, shred for hours every day, i really need to stop being such a lazy bum :lol: im going to start trying out some new crazy symp phasing shit its just so natural, it isnt a very hard set for me, i can probably hit some crazy shit out of phasing.

first day of school. for some reason i had to start like 4 days late and theyd say i was starting on tuesday, then no wendsday...and it was all fucked up, it sucked, this is my 3rd year in high school and my 3rd high school that ive been to 3 different high schools, its been really tough moving this much, but i didnt really have a say in the matter so oh well....


but, today was ok, i had to sit in the guidence counsilors office for like 3 hours making my damn schedule tho, that was insanely boring, but atleast i didnt have to go to class. then he gave me a tour of the school and then i went to class and it wasnt to bad, school is going to be really tough this year and im extremely lazy...so im sorta screwed, and plus since i came in when school was sort of allready in progress that kinda has confused me with things. and i havent really been playing much footbag lately, cuse ive been really lazy and shit but i gotta start shredding again im gunna shred tomorrow...ill post back if i hit anything good.

im finally starting to get some people into footbag!!...well...not exactly me, but my brother has started to play footbag and tells all of his friends about it and i have afew people interested in playing footbag...ive allready given away all of the sandmans i owned to kids that want to play, and i might also be able to get a footbag club going at my school which would be awesome, theres this really cool teacher in my school that used to play footbag, or atleast he says he did, im not to sure, and hed probably supervise it. and ive started shredding alot more lately, i hit fairy legover today, my fairys are getting alot stronger and super clean, and my flip fairy isnt to bad either. i really want to go to kickass soooo bad, it sounds like its going to be a sweet as hell event. i have afew possiblities for rides, hopefully zach hoffa will be able to give me a ride, i havent seen zach in awhile, i want to see how much hes progressed, i havent chilled with him in awhile...i love footbag!
