So I woke up this morning to the most insane phone call Ive ever received.

As it turns out, I do get to save the world!

I won't go into any details as I don't want to raise any hopes fruitlessly, but just trust me... oh gosh... ... this is way bigger than any of your are imagining right now.

My room is SO sick right now!!!!!!!!!!

It was all shitty and ugly with this nasty unpleasant yellow colour ever since the first day I saw this house. I hated it right away and I am so glad to have finally gotten rid of it with a fresh coat of paint!

It's now a nice greyish blue, it is nice and calmly bright in my room during the day with the abundant light that casts in from the skylight.

Anycase, with Pengpengs guidance my room was put back together with only the sweet stuff I want in my room and none of the junk that was cluttering it. We cleaned all the surfaces and it's all so tidy and satisfying!

So I am hoping this will be a good step towards getting all my life shit in order, it always seems that the state of my room is a fairly good representation of where my life is at right then. It's neat and tidy and in order right now, I just gotta make everything like that now!

I always have ninety traspillion things on the go at once and, as peng points out, that means I never get anything actually done. At least I am ambitious!!

My latest full on obsession is FIXED GEAR BIKES!!! ahhhh they are so fucking sexy!! My old roomate Jared (in KFM) was into fixed gears when he lived with me but at the time I didn't give a shit. But now I am shitface retarded obsessed with getting one myself! ive already started building my bike. I stripped down this old raleigh that I found abandoned and flipped and clipped the bars. It looks so slick. Check out www.fixedgeargallery.com to see what they are like. The idea is that you ttake off all the fancy doodads like shifters and derailers and the rear brake and the coasting ability and leave behind just a frame and the drive ttrain. The bike can't coast at all, you are always engaged, that allows you to brake by using resistance from your legs. Killer leg workout! sweet!

This won't steal me from footbag, it will only propel me to my shred sessions in the absolute most efficient way possible.

Pengpeng has gone home for the weekend. I miss her, it's gay.
Things have been really up and down, but still so good and so worth the effort and time. I really am very lucky to get to be her boy, I get to learn so much! Tonight I cooked my first fried rice dish! Peng taught me and tonight since she is away I cooked dinner and it was awesome! I win!

Pengpeng comes home in two sleeps! Woo!

Sleep time for me. Life is good.

Tom is going to be my guinea pig for a 2 month-long study on training for footbag. I will be putting him on a strict training regimen and workout routine to find the best results for an all-over footbag-centered workout plan.

Stay tuned folks! I will post the results of the study and the workout plan when the course is completed.

Wow, you guys just keep getting cooler!! Big props on that... I'm very interested to see what you come up with. Good luck!

Peng comes home today! Hurrah!

I am having fun organizing my room, it's gonna be so sweet.

Today I want to stitch, clean, organize, and finish doing my laundry.

I am not tooooo stoked that winter is coming, there are so many outside things I still wanna do! I don't want to have to mount a hundred layers just to run to the corner store, waaahhh!

At least winter is real pretty and stuff. It also makes you want to cuddle, good thing Ive got a pengpeng to squeeze tight! She's not very big, about the size of our cat, so she's not a huge source of warmth, but I warm her up and that's good too. Poor girl has NO fat on her so she gets real cold easy. Pengpeng is a good girl. I am working hard at being a better boyfriend for her. I have to try hard but she's worth it, she tries hard for me too.

I am gonna go get stuff done, life awaits!

I just sent this to Joe Kulacz. For the record, he never sent me the camera I paid for and I am sad.

Joe,

I hate the thought of this whole situation.

Here is how it looks from my endâ€¦

Youâ€™ve been my buddy, my FRIEND for years now, I really thought I could trust you.

I didnâ€™t think I had any reason to doubt you when you said you would send me the camera if I sent you the money. So I RUSH DELIVERED the money with a free fucking footbag.

What did you do in return? YOU ROBBED ME.

You blocked me on MSN and my phone number.

And for what? You threw away my friendship and my trust for a fucking hundred dollars!!! You canâ€™t come back to the footbag world now because you lost our trust by fucking me over.

I fought all the people that kept telling me that you had fucked me, for MONTHS I would excitedly await the arrival of the camera, the whole time defending you and your honor. I guess it was my mistake thinking you were worth my efforts.

It really makes me sad that all this happened. I am still somehow unable to believe that you would do that to me, you were my friend..

So Joe, explain how this is just, how it is fair, explain why you deserve my hard earned money and I deserve nothing. I WASHED DISHES to earn that money, youâ€™re an ungrateful shit that thinks he can go around taking whatever he wants.

Despite what reality tells me to do I STILL want to trust you, I STILL want to believe that there is some good reason why you have my money and I have nothing.

I know that since youâ€™ve pussied out of any conversation up to this point there is no reason you should step up now, but I am asking you, PLEASE just tell me what happened. I really donâ€™t want to hate you. I want to get to tell everyone that they were wrong and that I could trust you and that you were worth my faith.

Your old friend,

Tom Mosher

I know the tone is pretty aggresive... but uhh.. I don't care.

mosher · Post by **mosher** » 21 Oct 2006 19:57

The e-mail bounced back anyways.

sigh..

Life is good at least.

Tomorrow marks one year since Peng and I started dating!!

We still like eachother too!

She's a good girl and since we've both been working hard to be not-sucky things are working much nicer.

She really keeps me on track with so many things that otherwise I would be way too retarded to keep up with. She taught me about budgeting and stuff yesterday.

I want to drill really hard tomorrow, I need to get SO much better before NYJ.

I am going to be meeting so many people that Ive wanted to meet for years now. I would go into some people in more detail but I feel I would unfairly leave out other people I am stoked to meet too.

I am really curious if these players are better than me:

- Henry Greasebag
- Stephen Barnes
- Chris Dean (he has been better than me in the past, but we are racing)

uhhh there is way more but I am forgetting.. see, this is why I don't go into specifics, I suck at them.

I still never wrote up anything about world's or kickass2. I suck!

I really had a great time at both, life just always seems to get in the way of me tackling any write-ups these days. Also... .. I guess I was afraid I couldn't give an honest full report without going into sucky details of personal shit and I didn't really want to delve there.

Anyways, I like stuff.

Check out www.fixedgeargallery.com to see the bikes I am obsessed with lately, I am building one too, it's so fucking hot.

Why does this matter? To be perfectly honest... when footbag started to get less fun for me was the around the same time you started saying stuff like this about me. It took away the fun of footbag and made it directly competitive. That is not what footbag is about (at least for me). Sorry for the negative post in your blog.

Hey mosher! I really like this page of your blog! That's cool that its been a year with you and penguuuuuuuuuu together. Is she kickin ? I remember seein her trying some stuff, but its been a long time. I'm a fatty so I like to coast on my bike haha. But thats cool, I'll definately destroy you in a race if you ride fixies though. Annnnd you'll beat me at maintenance I guess. Whoa I didn't mean for this post to be challenging! I really wonder what your save the world phone call was. I also want to see pix of your new room. Stuff is crazy over here, I'm moving back to LA soon to help my mom run her business. I still haven't sold my car though, and it's stressin me out because I already have a plane ticket. I'm looking forward to being home, shreddin with pinkus and big add... and working hard at a business that I get to actually have some say in (if I work hard... IM GONNA WORK HARD) It would be nice to have a vaporizor, but I dont have one, so I haven't been smoking.. and thats cool, I don't feel bad or anything. I found this guy, hes an artist who calls himself M dot strange. He's so good dude. I'm gonna link you the video and you and peng have to watch it... naked.... He's one man and he did this all himself, and he has the same MIDI keyboard as me wtf!!! So heres the link:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6qCSahatkbk
It's really REALLY amazing dude, like, it blew my mind so goood. I found out the program he used (one of them) is called cinema 4d so I downloaded it and it looks sooo complicated. He uses that in conjunction with afterfx and a still camera of all things. I e-mailed him a little bit. Well, so yeah, I really want to make cool, artistic, crazy music videos for my own songs, and get good at martial arts and footbag, and have a great artistic musical life with Ashley. Ohhh! Ashley has been learning guitar! Dude shes pretty good, I mean she learned chords quick, power chord, barre chord. Its really neat to see her grow. We have vows to get strong while we are appart, and in 8 months we will reunite in glory! Well... art is good, life is crazy. I'll catch you on the flip side. Peace.

Thats how i got so good fast.
Ill addmit i got a little jealous but having a goal really helps you get better at anything.
Like lifting weights to get buff. I started lifting like a week ago because one of one friends is an asshole and i cant do shit because hes bigger than me. So i began to lift so i can turn the tables around. Im a very competitive person. Some people are, some people arent. I think im just goin through what every highschooler gos through.

I hate thinking that I pushed you away from footbag, I couldn't help comparing, I never meant it as anything serious. My appologies Jon.

Today was a good day.

Peng and I hung out alot, it was nice.

I went riding with my friend Matt tonight and Jared last night and I got to ride their fixed gear bikes! yeah!!!

My bike is sweet and fast and stuff but it's not a fixed gear yet, but soon!

No footbag today, I did stitch though! Peng and I raced and she kicked my ass as expected. I am so slow and ADD! At least I got a bag done finally. It's okay I spose.

I want to shred hard tomorrow and work on all my weak shit and fearless.

OH!!! I FINALLY found a pair of mesh camo g units in my size and I bought them!!!!!!!!!!! I am hoping this may help me with my spins eventually. I am a hardcore clima fan but I will do ANYTHING to get spins.

They are in the mail and my stoke-o-meter is shooting up!
I bought a pair off Wumbo that wound up being slightly too big so I am selling them to Jake in the KFM for what I paid, they fit him nice.

bed time!

Zjeezy · Post by **Zjeezy** » 25 Oct 2006 03:41

why do you think that G-units will help with spin, I have both climas and units and I only really notice a difference in the toe box.

mosher · Post by **mosher** » 25 Oct 2006 07:58

I am looking to reduce the number of variables.

The mesh g-units (I don't like the leather ones AT ALL) have nice even surfaces much like the laver.

The leather ones are just like climas in that they have a pocket to catch in and the edges of the pocket are all at dumb angles and that can lead to set inconsistency.

All I want is the bag to go where I want it to go, if reducing the number of wonky angles will help then I am all for it.

I was just punching holes in the wall and then I hit a stud, doesn't that just kill the hole punching mood??
