I feel you on that one Mosh. Enough of the being a "pretty alright" player....time to go huge!! Good luck on trying for the five too, I've been thinking about going for four for a week now, and i bet it feels sweet to know you are about to break you're fearless record.

Jake and I were supposed to be in Ithaca right now.. our ride never came though, kinda sad eh?

So I guess I don't get to go to Cornell after all.

I even had a big bag of goodies to sell and give away. Sucky luck!

Jake and I sat in my living room for like.. 8 hours waiting for the french canadians. Maybe they are coming today and we won't miss everything??

I really wish I had the phone number of Ianek or Mark. Darnit.

I actually needed to sell stuff to make rent, gay.

I hope something works out, I was really looking forward to this, Ken even invited me to sleep in his bed with him!

In my dream last night the frenchies finally came and picked us up!

Too bad it was just a dream.

I need to remember what Ive learned in the past, NEVER trust french canadians! EVER!!

Wonderful, it turns out they just went without us.

I hate this because it's totally my fault as much as anyone elses so I am not really justified in getting mad, but I can't help being sad that I am missing out on so much fun.

I guess I am to blame for assuming that they would carry out the plan. Fuck.

Jake and I had a session today since we had planned on playing footbag this weekend anyways. It was fun!

I hit symp DOD both sides! whee!

Also, lots of new fearless links:

pdx torque>ps whirl>spin whirl
phoenix>blurry whirl>spin whirl
legbreaker>tomahawk
legbreaker>far motion
legbreaker>symp whirling swirl!
blurry whirl>blurry whirl>spin whirl>footed spin blender

I got some medium stuff on tape, I am aching to make a video since Ive got this great song.

I was kinda bummed we missed out on Cornell, but I can't harp on the past. Today was fun anyways.

Oh and Ive been stitching alot, so I am going to catch up on orders finally!

mosher · Post by **mosher** » 11 Nov 2006 22:11

Oh yeah, and I footed jani>jani.

And all that stuff was in mesh camo gunits.

Jake and are both working on getting used to them.

They came at a very good time, I was juuuuust starting to get the hang of them in the climas and now with the nice surfaces of the camos I am really getting spins good finally!

I have confidence spinning now!

My bike is a fixed gear now! Woo!

Jared and I were out riding out fixies yesterday when from behind us a THIRD fixie pulled up! Sweet! It must have been the largest pack of fixed gears kingston streets have ever experienced.

Bikes!

I still play footbag.

i got your footbag today!!! (brian gave me xmas early) whats this purple/grey facile? anyway, it kicks ass! thanks so much!

and the shirts and patches and pins are cool too! (although that aqua shirt is like a giant tent) thank you!

nyj is gonna be super pimp!

Shred with Pengpeng, Derrick and Jake was fun last night.

I hit these things:

fairy ss torque one side then the other, I love it when that happens with new tricks!
pdx torque>blurry whirl>spinning whirl

aaand maybe my best link ever

whirr>janiwalker first try.

I kept footing barraging pdx illusion both sides but I didn't seal any. It's way easier than fury!

I am still sketchy and sucky in the g-units.

Not totally sketchy, but I lose my rhythm way too often and fuck strings up. I am not as good in them as I was in Climas yet, and I realise it's a big 'yet' because I feel like there is tons of potential of them working really well for me.

I still don't have a solid ride to NYJ arranged.

I really hope I sort this out in time and don't have to miss another event I am stoked to go to.

I hope I am adjusted to the gunits by NYJ, it is frustrating knowing that you're playing below your capabilities, especially so at an event.

Oh yeah, I still can't spin, how lame is that?
like.. I really can't. it makes me feel really pathetic sometimes.

Don't worry, I'm not like.. actually sad, just frustrated. I guess I will just keep trying and trying and trying, what else is there to do?

uh-oh Tom, I need to get as good as you

Those links are really cool. You're in the same place as me skillwise. If I could pick one person to be able to shred with every day...

I can't believe you're playing in the g6. That's cooky. Welcome to the club! You'll adjust soon. Once I adapted, I loved the fact that there was a nice solid bulky peice of equipment tied to my feet. Do 100 osii in a row and then the units will feel like home, promise.

I know your ride is sketchy and all, but you should consider arranging a way to Rochester on sunday after Chicago's Jam. New Year's Eve is going to be a blowout. Maybe small, but pound for pound it will be the bomb.

peace!

I was not! Pengpeng was!!

Sunday night was my work Christmas party.. as peng stated above, and it was really fun!

We got all dressed up and Peng looked beautiful and classy and she totally beat all the barbies at in the hotness contest!

Everyone was so surprised how hot I looked too, I was wearing my new skinny jeans (I bought the same ones as Pengpeng because they look so good on her and I was jealous) and a dress shirt and tie and white leather shoes. One enthusiastic barbie commented "tom, you, like, couldn't possibly be any hotter!".

We got a big pile free drink tickets that we couldn't drink our way through, luckily we had some restraint and didn't get too messed up.

They served us a big fancy dinner too! whee! Working at a gourmet restaurant is kinda okay.

We socialised and looked sexy then got in on a massive blunt that a coworker of mine had made. It was all soaked in hash oil and tobacco free and a fucking ass kicker!

That kinda made us want to just go home and sit on the couch being stoners, so we did!

Very fun night!

Chris Dean.... If only we could play more than we do. Why didn't we play much at kickass?????????? geez, I am bummed about that.

If I magically find some way to Chicago I will try to equally magically find some way to Rahchestah for new years to party with you fun folk.

I will do what I can...

I sure hope I stop sucking at footbag soon.

Oh, and chris, I did 73 osii in them, I guess I should keep pushing it to 100.

mosher · Post by **mosher** » 20 Dec 2006 17:25

Life has been swell lately!

The house is much quieter without Pengpeng around, she went home for the holidays

, good thing we still have her twin sister Lotus the cat.

I am really impressed by how hard Peng worked this semester at being a good student. She's so cute! hehe I like it when she tries hard at stuff, especially footbag.

The other day at our session I was being mister coach man and I helped her with her osii and it thrilled me to see her really working on them! She even hit some and they looked great!

Pengpeng is going to fucking rip it one day, I can't wait for her to have confidence and consistency and a big bag of tricks to pick from. Oh gosh, it'll be so adorable!

Also, along with working hard at school she has put in lots of effort towards being a better girlfriend. We have both worked hard to not be gay and make things happy and fun.

I like stitching still. My bags look pretty lately and I love how they play, I will keep making them. I have basically ran out of filler though... hmm.

I hit ripped warrior bsos!

derrick hit fog>phoenix and then passed me the bag and I did it.

KFM meeting tomorrow! It's a Jake meets Jack shred! They have never met because jake moved in the day jack moved out. Sweet!

I want to play well tomorrow, wish me luck!

PS I am really lame and I need people to watch my xmas video and then tell me how great I am. Can you guys watch it and then say you liked the video and stuff?

The highlight for me is seeing John Bagi hit dimwalk>pdx mirage, he'd like JUST STARTED, he's a freak.

http://youtube.com/watch?v=dMMcGAhLuqM

PPS don't hate me for being pathetic wanting props. No one ever gets enough props in the xmas calendar videos because then the thread would be insane long so sucky heads like me wind up feeling overlooked.

PPPS i'm not like, actually bummed or anything, I just want someone to comment on something about the video other than derricks trick

what a crazy day..

matt cross came to town and we shredded!

we played outside for the first bit, december 23rd playing outside in Canada, what the fuck happened to the weather?

Matt played really well and hit some really impressive stuff, I will let him brag about it in his blog. I was stoked to see how clean alot of his shit is getting, I know that's been a thing he's worked on alot.

After John and Derrick showed up we moved to an indoor spot and played more. I didn't hit too much stuff, none of us could really string today.

I did hit a new five both sides though! (symp torque)

I'm blue..

I really need to see pengpeng ASAP.

We need to see eachother in real life and feel how nice it is to hug again.
I miss her bad.

I hope everything works out well.

I need to pack to come home, I bet my family really misses me.. I miss them too.

I looked up enterprise.com car rentals and they have car for 21-25 year olds for 25.00 a day for a nice big car.
Heres some info I also found- " Ensure you have the necessary papers.
Identification papers such as a passport or birth certificate are recommended. Visit the US Customs and Border protection Agency web site for more information about identification requirements. You also may be asked to show a return air ticket or proof of sufficient funds. Know the rules and make sure your appearance is not cause for suspicion (probably not a good day to be wearing your "legalize marijuana" t-shirt!). Customs inspectors do have the power to ruin a vacation. If you come under strong scrutiny for any reason, answer questions directly and politely. Tempting though it may be, wise-cracking and rudeness will only be to your own detriment.

When crossing the border on public transportation such as ferries, trains and buses, you will if necessary, be reunited with your luggage in order to take it across yourself. Transport companies take the inspection time into account in their schedules, and while mass transit is usually treated efficiently, the companies have no power over delays. Vehicles may be searched at the discretion of the customs officials, whether or not the traveler feels that he or she has complied with customs requirements.

Standard questions you might be asked by a border guard include: "Where are you from?", "Where are you going?", "How long will you be in Canada?" (sound like you know for how long, even if your plans are flexible, and ensure the intended length of your stay is within the legal limit), "What is the purpose of your trip?", and "Are you bringing anything with you that you intend to leave behind?"

Driving across the border
Border officials are on the lookout for stolen cars, or people attempting to avoid paying duties on bought cars. So you will want to be carrying documentation to show you are not perpetrating such scenarios.

Driving a rental car across the US-Canadian border is usually not a problem, so long as you have made this arrangement with the car rental company. Make sure you have a copy of the rental agreement with you, and that is states you have permission to take the vehicle across the border.

If you are driving a private car which isn't registered in the name of someone going on the trip, bring written proof that you have the permission of the owner to take the car into the other country.

Close to the time you intend to cross, it might be worth asking locals about the comparable prices of gas/petrol in each country (factoring in exchange rates), in order to make a budget-conscious decision as to which side to "fill up". No excuses!!!

Mileage Restrictions
KILOMETRES ARE UNLIMITED AS LONG AS THE VEHICLE REMAINS INSIDE THE PROVINCE OF ONTARIO, WITH A MAXIMUM OF 4000 KILOMETRES. IF THE VEHICLE IS TRAVELLING OUTSIDE OF ONTARIO KILOMETRES ARE 200 KMS DAILY, 1400 KMS WEEKLY, AND 4000 KMS MONTHLY WITH .20 EACH ADDITIONAL KILOMETRE VEHICLES ARE NOT ALLOWED INTO THE UNITED STATES.

We have different websites for Canada. If it were that easy, I'd not be hounding Tom's ass about it.

I've already checked almost every car rental company and they all have this rule.

crazylegs32 · Post by **crazylegs32** » 24 Dec 2006 21:11

That sucks

Did you try talking in person? The website I read also suggested private rental companies because they can bend rules unlike corporate ones?
