oh i read the first one jim, i read the first one....

45 days

not near as much footbag today as i had originally hoped, but hopefully tomorrow there will be more...

i need to do some drills i may do them, and annoy my neighbors downstairs, because a day without footbag makes zeb a sad panda

I had an awkward day today, with ranges of emotions very similar to a roller coaster...
ill explain.....

I spent the last two days studying for a HUGE test in my geo 101 class, that would either make or break my grade. After I was done studying with my roomate we decided to go the the school and take it. So then we left zooming on out bikes as fast as we could hoping to get to the testing center on time.

When we finally arrived at the testing center, my and my room mate had to stop at each floor (because we forgot what floor the testing labs were in) turns out it was on the top floor.

. one bonus to it is there was some extremely attractive girls on the third floor that thought i was funny, because i had made a joke to my roomate, and they thought it was funny.
When we entered the room there was no one there, literally no one...

i was thinking to myself...are we THAT late? I talked to the secretary there, and turns out that the test was 3 (THREE!) days ago. and we missed it...the test that was going to make or break my college career (starting out anyone) i had missed. Thoughts of my grades slipping down a huge slope filled my head. I knew now that i would have to pay back all my loans, and give the school tons of money i dont have.

But maybe there was still a chance...

maybe i could talk to my professor and explain to her my situation so that i could still pass the class. It was a chance! we had 3 hours to kill so we devised how we would approach talker to her. After figuring it out we realized nothing but the truth would be best, so thats what we planned for.
Class rolled around, and we were nervously anticipating or explanation to the professor. I was getting ready to go down and talk to her, and then she spoke....

"everyone listen to me for a second! I hear that last friday the labs were having technical difficulties, so if you went there to take the test on friday, and couldnt because of this ill add the test for you and you can take it within the next few days, just speak to me after class...."

i couldnt believe it!

i could still take the test!!

Class flew by, and when it finally ended i rushed down to her, and talked to her about it......i was in!!! and so was my roomate we still might pass!!!

i thought that was an amazing amount of luck, my day was looking good again....until......i went outside to my bike, and started unchaining it...i went to ride and for some reason it didnt feel right...my tire was flat...NO WAY...NO FRIKKEN WAY! pissed from this i had to walk a half mile or so home with my flattened bike tire and all...it was pretty aggrivating...

now im sitting at home, trying to work on a speech that i KNOW is due on wednesday, and im not even close to being ready for it, but with some luck, and work i think i should be able to pull it off....

on a shred note...

im kicking better, things are getting more solid, i find im spending more time in form, and correct motions, than i am at trying a ton harder tricks, which i think is very important as of late. I figure that if i can master all teh guilt basics, that the other harder stuff will become easier, and thats my hopes.

i did a few drills

*whirl>drifter>rpt>whirl>ducking clip>rpt
*spinning clipper bsos sealed with gyro osis>ducking osis
*pixie ducking clipper>gybas>infinity>ripwalk>side walk>ripwalk>whirl>osis> drop on zooming ducking pdx mirage (off my foot)

11 days til mfj!!!

Zeb Jackson · Post by **Zeb Jackson** » 07 May 2007 13:33

montana is over

i drove a total of 22 hours spanning 1374 miles

twas a LONG drive there and back, but well worth it

ill definately be there next year

time to set some new goals:
- 50 contacts guiltless
- 20 contacts tripless
- fairy set
- a good nuke set

speaking of, what i learned at mfj:
-flip symp whirls
-nuke set (i hit pdx tap)
-figured out a good atomic, that i can almost duck now

im thinking of making a Penske, and Zeb at Bsu 2 video one of these days.

MatS21 · Post by **MatS21** » 07 May 2007 14:06

Wow, those goals are hard but it's the way to improve. Looking at your progress til now your definitely going to achieve them. Let's see how fast you can do it!

Zeb Jackson · Post by **Zeb Jackson** » 07 May 2007 22:38

lol ill try mathieu!

on a new note...this whole new chris issue kinda bugs me, i mean, i hing out with him at the us open, and i talk(ed) to him all the time on the internet, and now hes gone plum phyco all of a sudden, it pretty much bugs me, i dont care if i ever talk to him again because of the ways hes acting, and when a random newb that comes to mod and tells me to "shut the fuck up" (not just me BUT, the points there) it bugs me. Because he has no idea what im talking about, because i know chris and i THOUGHT we were friends...

oh well its just modified, i take it in stride, the only people i care to talk to are the people i know are my friends, the people i have met in person, and the people i know i can trust, in other words, chris is dead to me....LOL.

i kicked for a little bit this evening, but ive had somewhat of a dabilitating cold, so i felt all heavy and weak. there were some okay things to come from it though.

-smear>paradon,magellan>paradon,stepping op legover>paradon
-dimwalk>pdx mirage>rpt x 2
-tripwalk and pdx whirl bsos
-symp whirl>torque>diving osis
-blurry whirl>ripwalk>gybas
-blurry whirl>whirl>rpt
-pixie muted clipper>pdx illusion>rpt
-tomohawk bs

(im finally drilling atomics)

some cool runs i remember:
diving clip>ducking clip>rpt (x2)
