So yea, i've been working and going to school alot latley. im starting to really like my job. it was my 4th day on wednesday, and everything is starting to click. the people there are really cool too. My oldest brother's fiance works there too, her and my brother are the coolest. Its going to be so cool living with them. My step mom owns a really cool horse farm in Ballston Lake, a town about 20 minutes north of Albany NY. Its a huge house, and my brother and his fiance are helping to manage the farm and stuff. we've been doing alot of work on the house, and its almost ready!!! i cant wait! once i move in ill only have to drive 5 minutes to work, and 25 to school. instead of 45 and 45 which i've been doing :( . The house is going to be one big house, and a little apartment type thing off of it where my brother and his fiance are going to live. im pretty stoked about that. i should be moving in this sunday or something next week.

Anyways, Shred!

Willie and i just had a session. i really haven't been playing alot latley because my life has been kinda crazy. But i made a promise to start playing more because willie is sooo good! its crazy. i hit some cool stuff tonight.

-pixie whirl bsos
-an uber clean Vortex into a decent shred
-spinning clipper > spinning butterfly > symp whirl
-i was linking my flip pixies alot which was cool. they are feeling much stronger
-my atomics were really clean and strong
-very clean whirr into a shred
-blender > blender

Thats all that comes to mind. oh yea...i footed tapping whirl bs. hopefully i hit em both next shred.

So yea, im just chillen out in the library at school. waiting for my next class at two. I really want to shred, but my back is realyl hurting again. i pulled it while i was wheeling 550lbs of feed onto a truck with a hand cart. Im pretty sure Footbag 8O may be linked to my back injuries. I took a break from footbag for about two weeks, and i had no problems with my back. I started playing again a week ago, and then my back was feeling sore, and then i just pulled it yesterday.

I kinda of concernced so i think im actually going to go to the docotor or chiropractor 8O im also going to go the Holistic way, and start doing yoga on a regular basis. i think yoga with help more then anything. Im pretty sure my back just keeps knotting up from footbag and such, and then finaly just snaps because of the tension. ill let you guys know how it goes.

so i almost died the other day. A tractor trailer started merging into my lane on the highway, and i was right next to him, in his blind spot. i even said it to myself, "oh shit im in this guys blind spot." so i look back to merge into the lane next to me real quick, except there is a huge RV right next to me, and im about to get sandwiched between these two huge vehicles in my tiny 2 door hyundai accent. So somehow, im still trying to figure out how i made it out alive. i think i teleported myself or something.

i get to explain footbag to my english class next week :)

We are douing an exersise to practice our public speaking skills in english comp 101. we have to do a big oral speech thing for our final, and our teacher just wanted us to do something fun up infront of the class, so we'll be more comfortable with doing a speech. Shes concious of the fact that 99.9% of people are deathly afraid of public speaking!!! So she is having everyone do something that they are good at, or very familiar with up infront of the class. like, teaching the class something, showing how to fix something, a dance rhoutine, anything! so i've decided to explain footbag, and then do a rhoutine. Im pretty stoked. i gotta find an awesome song that will be good for a simpley rhoutine that i can bust out. Anyone have a good song in mind? i've got a couple, but i'd like to explore. lay em on me!

I LOVE FOOTBAG!!!!

Just had a really long, early mornign shred session. i went and partied last night, got 5 hours of sleep, and then i ended up playing footbag for like 2 and a half hours. im not really sure where all that energy came from. And im moving into my new house today! well, not all my things, but im going to be staying there tonight. Anyways i hit some good stuff.

-blurry difter
-Diving Torque :twisted: <----i've been trying to hit that for awhile
-lots of pdx. torques bs
-Torque > Symp whirl

I hit a ton fo blurry whirls today! somehow my flipside became my strong side, because i couldn't step right for some reason on my strong ones. i tried to hit BW b2b for like 30 minutes straight! but i couldn't!! i hit it like 6 times BSOS but i couldn't hit it b2b for the life of me. i feel like i failed myself :(

The other stuff was cool though.

i did this styly combo. --> Far osis without moving my body or shifting my support leg at all > symp whirl

HA! :lol: My room is very small, and the only place that I can kick on rainy days. my computer has aged seven years in two months due to footbag attacks from bedroom shreds. (ex. mobius attempt into my computer monitor leaving it teetering at the end of the desk)

Just had a good day at work. Im starting to really like my job. i've gotta wake up and work again saturday morning 9-2. i get a workout everyday im there, lifting 50lb bags of grain over and over.

i gotta remind myself to work on my routine this weekend for my footbag presentation for english on tuesday. I think im going to do this cool blackalicious song. i think ill give them an example of Sick 3, shred 30, and routines. Although, i think ill only do like a 1 minute routine so i can have the energy to do the other 2. Im pretty stoked, hopefully ill get a good grade. The funny thing is, was that my english teacher knew what footbag was. that surprised me alot. She had another student do the same thing for this same project, which she does every year. Accept, this person just brought in videos and talked about it instead of demonstrating. i think im going to have to try and find out his or her name and shred with them sometime.
