I've Been Jammin

You have the hip click too? My wrestling coaches always said I had "crazy" hips or "wierd" hips because I geuss I had some damn good hips. The last I checked though Titanium plated ceramics are stronger than Bone, Yes!
I really do stand alone. Sure people looking from the outside can care and have feelings for me but the fact remains have always stood alone in every aspect of my life except for 1.

I can shuffle! One run was as follows. Its just 3 variations of stepdown+sidewalk and ripwalk drill.
Ripwalk sidewalk drill>stepdown ripwalk drill>stepdown sidewalk ripwalk drill.
Tons of ducking from osis and ducking in general Plus some bsos double spinning. Overall Everything is feeling more solid, except for my mental state of being.

double spinning bsos? shit, you're better than I knew.

Thanks Matt, but I only pretend to be good.
I played some more footbag today and my legs were suprisingly fresh and virtually pain free.
I started off barefoot and managed some drills like
Smear>smudge>pixie leg over>repeat
Ive been having lots of trouble with illusions on my bad side but today it felt slightly better so (still barefoot) I hit blizzard>dimwalk>repeat
Another breakthrough tonight was the return of one of my okd combos Whale tail>eggbeater. It still hurts to do far leg overs with my bad hip, but I bsosed clipper set dbl leg over because I used to hit soooooooooo many and I cant stand not being able to do them. I revised my whirling technique and I think I found the best way ever.
To document my progress Im gonna list my breakthroughs, meaning regaining past abilities.
1. magellan on my bad side and in drill form

2.Double leg over on the side ive been deprived of for so long

3.smudge>pixie ill>rpt

4.bsos toe blur

5.pigbeater

IM starting to think that maybe I will be just as good as I originally anticipated.

IF youve stayed tuned for this whole post and i doubt any one did, I am gonna tell you something that has inspired me.

Footbag and why I play it. Something has been on my mind lately and Im just gonna put it down for anyone who wants to read it. At first footbag was just something to do while I was recovering from a wrist injury caused by my wreckless abandon which i will be going more into detail about. Ive always been good at shit and I never really knew why. I know now. At firlst I thought I was jsut lucky that I was born with so much potential, or maybe it was because my parents kept me drugged up on adderol for sooooooooooo long. But thats not it. Ive never fit in with people so I have virtually no friends just hobbies, but I go overkill. WHen Im in a social situation I use footbag as an escape. When I have a shitty day I use footbag as an escape. The reason I play footbag until I just cant stand is because i have all of this anxiety and anger inside that builds up (hence the rude and uncalled for posts I make on modified. That and the fact that footbag is an individual sport not a team so I say Fuck you guys because only I can make a difference in my life!) Anyways I get to this point where Im either gonna hurt someone else or Im gonna hurt myself (by hurt myself I mean Im gonna play footbag until my heart stops beating or im gonna get on a bike and go crazy, literally crazy. I cant stress enough the fact that I am crazy. I just grab a bag and keep goin until i have no more energy to release. That is why I am how I am, I have low regards for my personal safety and I just dont care if I get hurt, and thats why I kick so much ass on a bike (especially my own). im not trying to brag or anything bc there are some damn good riders out there! I only pretend to be good.
So go ahead people who look down on me and say bad things and think they are better than me, because its only gonna give me the fuel that I need for the fire to burn.
I didnt smoke marijuana today for the first time in soooooooooo long. Im gonna be releasing some anger tomorrow!
Alot of ppl on modified really piss me off, but you know what? I wouldnt have it any other way, you yellow bellied sap suckers! I am a failure in alot of ways, but im only a better person for it

There are alot of points in this but one of the biggins for me is that people talk alot of shit and people say alot of good things, but all that matters is whats in your heart and whats on your mind.

That my friend, is the best way of looking at any situation, it works so well that there's no way to even say it in words. You bring a something special to this forum in my opinion. While your posts don't always make the most sense, they are unique. They are you. I respect you for that man.

The best judge of yourself is and always will be you.
Congrats on the improvements with Pixie and Barrages too!

Well that session I was talking about earlier ended up being really good shred-wise, but Damn does my hip hurt tonight

Thanks for the kind words mr. Underhill

The only hightlight I can think of is spinning barrage almost bsos first try. I also played with a really talented Indian Kid at school today, he could be a potential shredder!

My flip pixie was hard to clean today while I was hitting strongside pixie clippers in pajamas and Lavers with walls. It seems Like I have trouble pointing my toe down as much as my good side, but sometimes I can get it, just no often enough

Ben, I think your use of footbag as a stress reliever is common among the footbag community, lucky you for you when your angry you don't get pissed off at your game while your playing, that seems to be my case

Do you wanna play this weekend, its been a while

and quit smoking weed

beenjammin · Post by **beenjammin** » 05 Feb 2007 20:50

I dont know about this weekend Matt I kinda fucked up my hip tonight, Ill have to wait and see

It turns out it was all of the mirages cramping my style

I did quit smoking weed about two hours ago, and Im gonna start again in about 16.

Todays Recap:
-Hip still hurt today but I played footbag at school (I only go till noon

)
-showed off for some girlies

-got complimented by the ladies
-hit at least 20 contacts of diving cip>ducking clip>rpt into a bunch of spins and osis
-Went to my buddy Preston's house and got hit on by his sister and her friend

-Later that night I was chilling with my neighbor at his place and suddenly a very sexy girl from my past came over for God knows why. Ive always liked her and shes always liked me. She didnt say hi or anything she just came in and said she wanted to "drill" me! It totally caught me off gaurd! I was just like alright drill me! Turns out she meant she wanted to drill me for information. I think she might drill me in other ways soon

Anywayz I guess thats it except for this one realyy clean spinning rake, oh and a really clean double spin

Thats all I gotta say about that.

Awesome man! Congrats on the Double Spin! My Spins are going slowly heh. That last run is pretty fucking sweet, especially without shoes!

beenjammin · Post by **beenjammin** » 11 Feb 2007 01:04

Massive session today. One run had rubberman in it along with Blur>legbeter>ripwalk>rpt. I played so much footbag today it is ridiculous. I started up on ps whirls and ps Illusions again. Hit some super sweet torques and mobius. I was trying really hard for Spinning Osis>inf>mob>inf>inf>rpt or something. The big thing I worked on today is barrages, and it went sweet. I hit barrage>pixie barrage both sides. Barrage>op toe barrage>run>rpt>run>rpt. Another thing was Step down>sidewalk> step mir>run>rpt other side. Really worked the toe barrages today!
