Tom
I just read through pages and pages of shit I havent read because I dropped off the modified bandwagon for a while. .. and then I came across THIS
mosher wrote:Okay.. so lots of crazy things have happened in my life. Things so crazy that I just can't help but be stunned and have no reaction because no reaction in my repetoire can appropriately correlate to the absurdity of the thing being reacted to.

Tonight something happened that was VASTLY more extreme than anything that has happened before. .. I'm serious.

So after dinner I pulled out my vaporizer to enjoy after our wonderful meal of steak and sweet potatoes and carmelized tomatoes out on the deck. My parents know, and are fine with the fact, that I get high regularly, and so it wasn't thaaaaaat strange for me to be doing this right in front of them.

My mom asked "so how does that thing work?"

I proceded to walk through the process of preparing it explaining it all to her. My sister then chimed in, "Want to try it?"

So this was it.. the first time since the 60's that my parents had ever been offered pot. I know for sure that neither of them had gotten high before and I can't believe my sister said it.. but she said yes!

So.. I had no choice but to calmy continue loading the machine, I fired it up and GOT HIGH WITH MY PARENTS!!! hahahahahahah!!!! 8O :lol: :D :lol:

Life is soooo funny!

I passed weed to MY MOM today!!!!!!!!!!!! 8O :o 8O :!: :!: :!: :!:


So yeah, that is now the thing I will say when someone asks me the craziest thing that has ever happened to me.

I have fallen off buildings and almost been hit by trains and NOTHING compares to what tonight felt like. Fucking unreal!

I was SO scared of my parents finding out I got high for years!

I was terrified that they would find any of my smoking gadgets and totally come down hard on me.

... and tonight I got them high. :roll:
:!: :!: :!: :!: :!: 8O

your fucking mom!!!
hope youre well :D

Love,

I was super stoked to see that made it into the video! The tapes of that footage sat in my room in kingston for a month or two after TOFU then I took them to Europe and gave them back to Mark. I am glad they finally turned into a video.

There is a new KFM member! He's cool and named Jake. Pengpeng and I shredded with him yesterday, we were the first footbag players he'd ever met! cooool!

We shredded and then came home and pengpeng cooked us dinner and stuff, good day!

Oh and I had a really sick footbag moment!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I hit something Ive wanted to hit for soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo long!

I grabbed the bag, set it from clipper, spun.. double downed it, CAUGHT IT, set to my hand, chucked it to the ground and SCCCRREEEEEAAMED!

I hit SCORPIONS TAIL!!! after three fucking years of shredding I finally hit it!!!!!!!

Oh but my story gets better!!!!!!! :twisted:

On my NEXT ATTEMPT I tossed to my other side, set, spun, double down, CATCH!

I hit one scorp then the other both for my first time!

Ive only done that with a few tricks ever before.. really I can only think of atomsmasher.. but still.. whoa! yeah!

I'm the best!

and the GOD OF MODESTY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :P

Life and footbag have been good lately.

Ive been playing a good amount but KICKASS organising takes up alot of my time.

Things are shaping up well for KICKASS, I am happy with how things are turning out.



The other day Pengpeng, Jake and I were shredding and these highschool football players came walking by. Instead of being made fun of they joined us when I announced "FREE LESSONS!!".

It was so cool having the highschool football team thinking we were cool and being all impressed and shit.

Later when they had moved to a different part of the park and some of their buddies showed up, the buddies went to start making fun of us and they other guys stuck up for us!!

I impressed them with one of Matt Cross's tricks, the bent over forwards hat rim stall.

Good times.

I need to go stitch bags for kickass, no rest for the wicked! 8)

:lol: :lol: :lol:

thats awesome that the football players told off their own friends for being a douche. the nashville group meets at this public skatepark and when we show up the regulars all drop their boards and come watch lee and brian. they are the "pro hackeysackers" to them :lol: some of them ask if there is a trick where you flip and brian throws moshers tail into a string. :D then they are all like "i can do that" and we tell them to try. some of the cocky ones try and its awesome. :twisted:

HACKEYSACK!

KICKASS was amazing and I had a lot of fun. I will write a full report some time.

I am kinda bummed right now, Kyle Hewitt and nasty nate are trying to make me feel sucky and it's working.

I think I need a modified break.

I am not disappearing, I just don't want to have any influence for a while. I get too worked up trying to control the world.

Peace guys. :(

You can hit me, and maybe it will get you high??? No, a good write up would probably do better. Hosting tourney's is the ultimate!

Thanks for the love, guys.

Yesterday was my birthday.

Birthdays suck, they just remind you how few people know you well enough to know that it's your birthday.

It makes you feel forgotten and unimportant. At least on days where people aren't supposed to make a big deal about you you don't wind up feeling unspecial.

I guess I am pretty burnt out on alot of things lately.

After KICKASS finished I felt a big load off my shoulders. I don't mean to, but I often feel like it's my job to save the world, I feel this less now.

Maybe I should spend some time getting my life back in order and let the rest of the world fend for themselves.

I need emotional stability in my life, the fluctuations of other people place stresses on my stability forcing me out of my center. I have enough trouble keeping my own life in order, it's fucking hard trying to stay on top of my life while managing others.

My room is a mess.

You have my Blurriest bag to keep you company, Tom. It's an early birthday present, since there weren't any Sick comps in Kickass 2. :P

Plus you have the bag that I sold to Pengpeng, which I think is my best one yet out of that large template.

Good job on the perception. It takes balls to see true colours when it comes to one's own tendencies.

I think of a bucket. I'm a bucket that gets filled when things go well. When there's a spill, I can leak over to other people who are in need of water, BUT ONLY when there's a spill. When I force things and go helping others out when there's isn't enough water for me, I'll put holes in my bucket and I'll end up feeling drained.
Your own stem should always be the most important thing in your own life. All the other good things derive from it.

Anyway, that's the bucket theory. Hope the metaphor helps somehow.
