Hello there, I don't know you Mr. JP. I'm friends with Tom and Peng and live just down the road from them here in K-town.

I just read most uh the posts for ur blog cuz all the talk of "picking" caught my attention. I was once a picker too, of strawberries. It took days to wash the red off my hands.....man oh man. I used to pick all morning, then bail hay in the afternoon. That was the life :?

Good luck with the picken, maybe I'll meet you one day through Tom and Peng.

Godbless, and may quick hands be with you :wink:
First think about how to practice or don't bother practicing.

ok so its been a little while since i last wrote here, maybe a week but after my last weekend and all the people I met it seems like a long time so heres whats happened in my life

starting last friday , on auzzie day there was that trance/techno festival called rainbow serpent here in australia, it was in victoria in a small town called Beaufort, so I decided to go there with some friends. But then my friend david decided to go since his girlfriend wanted to go, it took us maybe 7hours to get there since his car is busted and he had to stop every 100kms to check the water level in the radiator.

okay its gonna be a bit hard to tell everything that happened but ill try my best.............

we got there around 12at night,the party had already started since noon so we grabbed some goon to have a bit of fun, we payed 150$$$$ for the entrance fee and went straight there after setting our camp up. there was this girl i kinda like there, thats why i decided to go there in the first place, I thought it would be a nice place to know her a little better I was wrong.........

okay so we got in, with our booze, if I knew we were allowed to bring our alcool I would have bought a lot more, so we got in, everyone was already on the goof balls, we looked at the fire spinners/fire jugglers and shit and then I see my friend in the crowd, what a lucky bastard I am, he was with the girl I like, we went there, talked to them and 5 minutes later me and the girl dissapeared in the crowd to wander around, we drank some goon, I wasnt keen to dance at that point and she was really tired because the previous night she stayed up late, we were busy kissing the night before. so yeah we hung out for an hour or two and then we decided it would be nice to go back to me friends van, we got there, I gave her a little massage, she was saying to me that it would be nice if it was her van cuz I could've slept there for the night, I offered her to sleep in me tent but she declined the invitation cuz it was a tent and not a bed like in the tent. I said okay and went to bed.

the next morning I woke up around 10ish,went down to the van to see if she was up, in fact she was, so we went back to me friends car, I had to eat something before going down, we went to the party walked around, I wasnt up for dancing she was, but you see if Im not on drugs I have a hard time dancing on that trance music, the beat is almost always the same, I like songs with a beginning and an end not the ones that are endless. I told her I had to get to me tent to grab some stuff, she told me she was always waiting for people these few last days so I told her that I would see her later, big mistake.....

went to me tent to get me sunnies, my friends werent even there, so I got a water bottle and went back, tried to find my friends and just ended up wandering around. there was a hack circle, so I just stepped in, it was the best hack circle for the whole weekend, 5 person circle and everyone of us knew how to kick, the best we got was 3 hacks , real good and entertaining, the guys really liked my flying kicks and flying toe delays. I showed them a few tricks which they liked, I played for an hour or so before retiring. then I went and wandered around a bit more until I saw me friends and got hios car keys. when I got back I couldnt find anyone I knew , of course, you always lose your friends in festival like these, and since I got me mobile stolen before I couldnt phone them to find out where they were.

so I just moved from hack circles to hack circles, thats where I met Kurt, a real nice bloke who runs a shop, he sells beanbags,funky hats, some bracelets,badges and a lot of pretty nice things, he plays hack aswell, he sells prokicker bags a montreal brand of footbags. I went to his shop and he noticed my quebec accent right away, he lived in montreal for a year and he reckons thats like his home so he liked me right away, Ive been hanging out with him all weekend and right now im at his hoome in Wodonga,Victoria.

at night time I got meself some goon to get the courage/energy to dance to that music,I met my friend again, he was pissed, it annoyed me cause he just kept on beeing drunk and kinda annoying, so I went away. Around 1 in the morning, I went to have a look a Kurt's shop, he wasnt there but instead there was 4 beautiful girls running his shop while he was asleep, I had to try some of the hats on...First off, when I got there one of the girls told me straight up : Do you know that you're real handsome?? and her friends agreed. That got me a bit shy, but I liked it, how often do girls come up to you like that???? So I tried a few hats and they told me that one of the hats really fitted me well, so I put it on to try it, they invited me over to the other side of the counter, so obviously I went there and hung with them. I had to get some more goon, cuz I lost me bottle earlier on when I was drunk. got the goon and got back to the girls, there was 4 of them so I didnt know which one to choose, it was kinda hard you know to choose between 4 friends, I shouldhave kissed all of them, but I didnt. I spent all night long hangin with them, they told me that if I sold enough stuff, I could get the hat for free, so everytime a guy would come in the shop, I'd pick a hat I thought would fit them well, propose to them to try it on, I've got a good eye for fashion so it would almost always fit them well, then the girls would go on saying it fitted them well, so the suckers would buy it.well a real nice hat for 15$$ is a good deal.So i ended up with a free hat, free badges,free cuffs and plenty of stuff free.

When the sun rose up, we woke up kurt , Jossy gave me half a speed and we went dancing with the rising sun, on that morning I chose jossy, she wasnt the best dancer, but she the only one who stayed up with me.
we had fun, kissed, hugged, kissed, hugged.. after dancing for quite a bit, it was raining and it was fuckin cold, so after the rain cleared, we went to sit at a stage, it must have been 9 or 10 in the morning at that time, I was up for 24 hours. at that time, I saw the girl I like, it was a bit weird to see her when I spent all night with another girl, and she just went off... the 3 girls came back, one of them gave me a foot massage, I hugged her and kissed her, I saw I quebecer who is picking in australia aswell. jossy went to sleep, I didnt, I just spent the afternoon with the 3 girls, the gave me acid twice, it was really a light trip, the gave me speed, and we went dancing. there was one of the girls who really danced well, she got me that way.

she didnt actually get me that way, when the sun was coming down that when the cold got to everyone, it was getting down to maybe 5-8 degrees at night time, the girls went off with kurt on a beer bust, they exchanged stuff for beers and alcool. and gayle, the irish girl who dances well got me me jumper, wow what a nice girl.. I wish they had smoked pot cuz I would have make them smoke all weekend long, but I was the only one smokin.so they got alcool, we got a bit drunk, and when the moon and stars were up gayle would go dancin on her own just by the shop, I was looking at her and thought that she looked beautiful, so I just had to tell her, when she came back I just told her that she was very beautiful when she danced and gave her a warm hug, it felt really good. we were flirting a bit, she asked me to dance with her, we went dancing by the shop, dancing with her gave me the urge to dance, i was dancing well I reckon, she told me that she really wanted to kiss me. I told her to have a go, she said whe couldnt because I already kissed her friend, I told her that it didnt matter. so we started kissing......... previously, we were hanging out in the beanbags by kurts stand and he went: hey quebec,becuz he calls me quebec, yeah he went hey quebec which one you like the most??? one of them went yeah who do you like the most?? i never answered I just went I dont know... smart move.....

so me and gayle were dancing, kissing dancing kissing, jossy never came back that night, so me and gayle ended up sleeping in my tent, nothin happened until the morning.

on the next morning the girl I like came to my tent and woke me up to get a phone number, she saw us sleeping in me tent, she didnt say nothin,which is good. so i had to wake my friend up, then my friend told me how when he came back to his car on the previous night there was a fucked up guy wearing my pants,my t-shirt,listening to my ipod. he was going through all of our stuff, putting it in different piles. he accused my friend of stealing all that stuff.... fuckin weirdo. my friend started emptying his pocket and gettin our stuff back. my friends girlfriend is brazilian , her passport is important, she pulled a knife on the guy, he starting freaking up..then we got all our stuff back....the guy was saying he was stealing from thieves, it made sense that he wanted to distribute the stuff cuz he was sorting it out puttin it into piles like he was gonne distribute it.....fuckin weirdo, we were so close to losin everything..

after that story I went back to sleep with my beautiful irish girl. she left on that day, her friend whom I kissed first was a bit upset at her for kissing me, I didnt care, im free and can do whatever I want so does she..

so on that day I didnt do much, I hung out with kurt a bit more, went to sleep real early and woke up on the next day fresh as a rose.. kurt offered me a ride to shepparton if I helped him pack up his stuff,which I did. he got me to his place,where I am right now, Im helping him movin into his studio, do a market on saturday and then hell drop me in shepparton on sunday... hell also give me a lot of stuff for me to sell in my trip and all Ill have to do is give him a 1000$$ in 4 years maximum, that gonna be real great.. earn extra money while travelling, and he has some real nice stuff..

so heres the write up for my wonderful weekend at the rainbow serpent, I really enjoyed it, it was my first rave party, and Im gonna do a lot more until I go back home. Ill be meeting the irish girl in 2 weeks. be meeting the girl i like on sunday, ive got thing pretty well lined up for the next couple months...

hope you liked my story, Ill write more stuff later

cheers

on the next morning the girl I like came to my tent and woke me up to get a phone number, she saw us sleeping in me tent, she didnt say nothin,which is good. so i had to wake my friend up, then my friend told me how when he came back to his car on the previous night there was a fucked up guy wearing my pants,my t-shirt,listening to my ipod. he was going through all of our stuff, putting it in different piles. he accused my friend of stealing all that stuff.... fuckin weirdo. my friend started emptying his pocket and gettin our stuff back. my friends girlfriend is brazilian , her passport is important, she pulled a knife on the guy, he starting freaking up..then we got all our stuff back....the guy was saying he was stealing from thieves, it made sense that he wanted to distribute the stuff cuz he was sorting it out puttin it into piles like he was gonne distribute it.....fuckin weirdo, we were so close to losin everything..

after that story I went back to sleep with my beautiful irish girl. she left on that day, her friend whom I kissed first was a bit upset at her for kissing me, I didnt care, im free and can do whatever I want so does she..

so on that day I didnt do much, I hung out with kurt a bit more, went to sleep real early and woke up on the next day fresh as a rose.. kurt offered me a ride to shepparton if I helped him pack up his stuff,which I did. he got me to his place,where I am right now, Im helping him movin into his studio, do a market on saturday and then hell drop me in shepparton on sunday... hell also give me a lot of stuff for me to sell in my trip and all Ill have to do is give him a 1000$$ in 4 years maximum, that gonna be real great.. earn extra money while travelling, and he has some real nice stuff..

so heres the write up for my wonderful weekend at the rainbow serpent, I really enjoyed it, it was my first rave party, and Im gonna do a lot more until I go back home. Ill be meeting the irish girl in 2 weeks. be meeting the girl i like on sunday, ive got thing pretty well lined up for the next couple months...

hope you liked my story, Ill write more stuff later

cheers

hey jp,

thank you so much for the kind post, it's always great to hear from you on your world-travelling adventures!! I read some about that music festival, sounds like a mad crazy time like the ones I've been to.

tom and I were very glad to have met you too. footbag often brings interesting, athletic, adventurous, weird people together. To me, footbag is like a net that has been cast out into humanity, and it catches all the people I want to be with, and puts them in one place so I can play with them all. it's wonderful. at footbag tournaments, you know you can just have a good time sitting around and partying, and not having to spend too much money, because you've got so many amazing, interesting, beautiful people around all the time.

i hope you'll make it to the world championships. there is kind of a sub-movement in the community to find places away from disney and their security for the championships, and I think we've found it. go to the journies to tournies forum and read about Rental House for Worlds. I think you'd be into it. It's very cheap and an amazing kind of deal we're looking at! you should think about it. our house is full, but there will be others. I hope to see you there, my friend. stay safe.

matt
BRICK!

i live in a land down under.....................

i say do you speak my language, he smiled and gave me a ...vegemite sandwich


wow australia,

i havent wrote in here for a while, and that is because footbag hasnt been a part of my life for a long while, but reading a few of my friends blogs and some other blogs that i enjoy reading, gave me the urge to write about what was up with me.

i know my footbag is not the best, but what i lack in footbag i can make up in other things.one of these is the jewelry making skills i've been practicing for the last couple of months.

as all of you may not know, australia is home of a great market/festivals scene, i met a friend a few months back, he runs a business that takes place in festivals and markets. most probably my favourite job in my life has been to help him run his business. i say jewelry making and you might not know what it relates to, in a simple way, we transform simple things into simple but attractive jewelry.i dont steal ideas from others, i make my own style, but we make rings with buttons, brooches with kilt pins and buttons and/or resin. i make necklaces with leather and a shell wrapped in an artistic way with copper. I must say that i developped some skills and been really proud with the way i was able to go to a normal shit talking joe to a shit talking/jewelry making/stall running/sweet talking/friend making/good karma joe. I met so many nice people because of this job.

Thses last couple of weeks, I've been doing uni markets at monash uni in melbourne,australia.I make around 30$ an hour cash in hand at this job, it's not always good like that, but thats my average, work on wednesday,thursday and fridays then spend all that money during friday and saturday then i have to try not to spend too much until the next wednesday. But now I'll have to get a job if i wanna get an appartment, and i want to get an appartment.

for the last couple of days,i havent slept much, been up for 30 hours so far, but did managa to have 2 1hour naps during that time. going to bed after this post. I met this great girl when i was coming down from work, she gave me that weird stare I held it, she laughed and I did, she waved so did I, I walked to the next street corner and turned around, I had to talk to her she was gorgeous, and she still is. We talked, you know, I wouldn't have talked to her if I didn't get the confidence I got after talking to all these folks at markets and festivals, it really helped me grow a lot. So we talked and got together on the weekend, I really like her, her style and everything about her really attracts me, she's 6 years younger than me, I'm 24 and she's 18, I wouldn't have guessed that, I thought she was my age. We hung out this weekend,got to meet her friends and now I know that she kinda likes me, she's great and I haven't felt that way for a girl in a long time.But i'm bad with relationship, I get bored too quickly, I like the whole game of flirting/getting the other person interested. Sometimes I think I play that game too often, I have to slow down on that issue, I got a few girls in my life that I see now, and it's gonna turn around and then I'll have none left.

so yeah , im in australia, probably not going back to canada this year, but I might go to Shambhala , it's a big trance/electro festival, it's awesome.I would run the shop there if I did go. But now I'm concentrating on beeing happy, finding a place to stay, ccuz I live in a hostel now, it's allright, but I dont get the privacy I would get in my flat.Yeah, beeing happy, finding good people to hang out with, living a good life and loving every second of it. I'm looking to join the Melbourne parkour club, saw them practice last week, and I think I have more skills than a few of the guys and I need to find a way to stay in shape cuz I'm not doing any activity appart from juggling these days.and juggling doesn't make me train my cardio.

ona juggling note, I've been these footbag moves to start juggling like:
pixie ducking > shower>run
toe ducking> run
toe diving>run
pendulum>run
little things like that that most jugglers dont do, I love it

anyway I gotta bail, it's late and I have to rest, I'm f%&@ed

see youse mates

have fun and good night, or good day for the people from home

been so long since I wrote here,

I'm only writing because today I went to my old high school to start footbag activities one afternoon a week for 15 weeks, and ended up with those 15 afternoon of footbag and a contract for 2 lunch-hours a week of footbag, so kid don't end up obese like most do.

well gotta bail but it's gonna be lots of fun to be paid to practice.

so my afternoon of footbag started today, been playing 4-square and takraw pretty much all afternoon, I think that 4-square is helping kids bond and develop basic kicking skills, for the 11th grader takraw is was more exciting we changed the rules so we're allowed 6 contacts total a bounce equalling a contact and no 2 bounces allowed. so that makes it fun and we can play a bit longer, we're not counting points yet. sold some footbags that i bought off kolo, and I'm getting kids to learn the basic freestyle moves, mainly inside and toe stall, I hope that some of them will buy lavers before christmas.
15 kids have picked footbag over any ohter activity out of 50 activities to do durin theur wednesday afternoon, which is pretty good in my opinion. if there is a comp im montreal any time soon I'll get a few of them to come along.

cheers
