TODAY
Went to sleep at 12, woke up at 4am sweating like crazy... The fucken power went out! Lights flashing ouside, went to check, it was a ComEd truck they said that they had messed up the wiring for the 30sumthing unit condos next door and it was suppose to have its own transformer? Instead it was conected to half the block and the power will go out again unless it is fixed. Power went back on at 5, fell asleep, woke up at 6 and rode my bike to school . Watched Underworld: Evolution and "learned" about empirical formulas.
Yesterday:
Yesterday was FUN. Kicked at Navy Pier. 3ft net, 4square, $6 hotdogs, and a lil bit of freestyle.
Okay, so i havent been kicking much lately(tried stitching more), and i just read some random blogs which makes it seem like everyone is progressing so fast, way too fast. I'm progressing really slow, prolly cause lack of practice? So guess what? imma practice.
Yes! Footbag has taught me that practice is necessaryto progressing in anything. But it only seems like alot when you haven't done it yet. An hour or two a day or every few days makes such a difference!
yeah, I only practice for an hour or so bout 3-4 times a week, keeps me from getting rusty at least. i'd say focus on clippers freddy I feel SOOO much better since I started to be able to hit consecutive alternating clippers with ease
it reached 99 degrees two days in a row here in chicago... ive been sitting indoors wheres its air conditioned doing barely anything. but i just played barefoot with my un brokenin brinard bag, megellan>plo thats all i managed... Imma buy some facile over the weekend at some fabric store, not sure where to buy lead shot, went to the the hunting shop to look for some, only sell little bags of things he called lead shot, looked like .025 caliber pellets i have for my bb gun. How much is lead shot? what size is recommended 7, 8, 9? i should post this on the bag and equipment thread/forum.
I wanna play some fwotbag but the past three days its been at least 99 degrees, and its suppose to rain tomorow, hopefully weather.com is wrong though. And to top it off i fell asleep right next to the air conditioner after i took a shower last night and i have a stuffy nose and sore throat.
Sweat it out and shred in the heat. What's stopping you?

"Footbag can be pretty frustrating when it's supposed to be fun. I was partly driven by this forum - practice, practice, practice... As that is true, I think someone can be too focused on progressing and training that they miss the fun aspect of it." - Bander87
Okay so i went to Joann's fabrics, and i found out where all the hot chicks were hidding. Hah, well, i was the only guy there and it was kinda weird.
Anyways i got some white and dark brownish colors(facile/synthetic suede) about a 5ft by 3ft piece of white for only $1.80! it was in the clearance section, but the brown was 1ft by 3ft for $1.65. Thats all i found that I thought was usable.
