Mosher's Footblog

[Pengu]

<3 Miss you.

I'm excited to move on too. But one of the things I'll miss most about Kingston is Confed shred on the nice days of summer.

[Mathochist]

I miss you too.

I hit blurry snifter last night and I'm working now on custom shifter.

Good luck with things and stuff.

[Slowsis]

Tom, I hope your spending a few months in Toronto (oakville) before you make any long distance move.

That would be dandy.

[mosher]

So much of everything has happened lately!

Each day is so full of great activities and quality fun.

Footbag has been really rewarding lately too.

There is a deal at footlocker.com for two pairs of g-units for $70 so I grabbed some 6.5's for me and 8.5's for derrick, both in red.

Here are some hacky highlights:

- blender>pdx blender rpt again
- phoenix>spinning pdx whirl bs
- assasin bsos
- assasin>phoenix bs
- osis>mobius
- pdx whirl>pdx blender rpt
- blender>barrage bsos
- osis>spin>merkon bs
- dlo>ss dlo (I must have done this before)
- ss dlo x 4
- symp mirage>atomsmasher x a bunch
- pdx blender>barfly bs
- spin x 6 L, 7 R

Oh yeah, and we always gets tons of full hacks at our shreds.

Most shreds have been me and Derrick and John. Sadly both Peng and Jake are not so stoked on footbag right now. It makes me feel like a failure as a coach and motivator. I guess it's not my place to feel bad if someone else doesn't want to play the sport that I like playing, but I do feel a bit responsible for how Peng feels. It's all real complex.

Peng and I have been having some real good times lately, she's so cute!

Okay, for serious, right after I typed that she called out to me from the other room "Toooooom!? Wanna get comfy and cuddle??" hehe of course I do!

Thus ends my blog post.

I will have soooooooooooo much time to post in here in like... a month.

Everything in my whole life is about to change, I will have alot to talk about.

[Tjuggles]

I read your blog you tubby bitch.

I think that even before all of these changes take place, you talk about a lot of stuff.

Props on all the sweet stuff you have been hitting. I be that osis > mobius was fun... I also bet that you can sub in a dyno, blender, or blender instead of that osis...

I hope this next transition in your life is smooth and enlightening. I look foward to being stupid with you in Florida in a few months.

Congrats!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

There is a talent show on Thursday called "King of Queen's (University)" and I am going to win it. Pretty cool eh?

For the past day and a half my head hasn't been able to stop thinking about it. I have this constant feeling of nervous excitement and weakness in my knees, I really want to win. I keep preliving the speech and the performance and all I can hear is the song I will be using. (my world's 2006 routine song by Ben Folds) I really think I have a chance to win, footbag always comes across so surprising and overwhelming to new audiences.

I have it all planned out, there will be a long buildup that ultimately ends in me blowing their minds to tiny bits. I have no idea what kind of competition I will be up against but at least I will be 'different'.

Annnyways, I guess I really just want to win to get the title King of Queen's as a result of my final performance at Queen's ever.

I bet I will get beat by some native american dance troupe or something.



I ordered two pairs of red g-units from footlocker.com, they have a deal of two pairs for $70, mental!

I got some 6.5's for me and 8.5's for derrick, we'll match, how cute!

Actually, Peng and I match sooooo often, we are that couple.
It happens regularly that we are both wearing tight girl pants, lavers, spikey belt etc.

Both Peng and I need to sell alot of footbags to pay for upcoming debts. Along with moving comes all sorts of shit that costs money. Sooooo that means that I gotta keep my needle flying.

Oh yeah, and on that topic I don't think Ive mentioned yet that our Amaretta came! it's the sickest shit! The first and second bags I made have been retarded sick right away. I am stoked to really hone my style with this new fabric. It stitches so clean! It's like all the colours of facile I liked best (thin and dense and 'stiff') but way more extreme. I'm in love!

I think I am going to film my King of Queen's performance and submit that as my tripod battle video.

I am dying for a footbag event. Is GRASS happening again this year?

I miss you footbag people!

[Sporatical_Distractions]

I am dying for a footbag event

4th Annual Montana Freestyle Jam. Food and Lodging will be covered

Best of luck at the talent show

[cd]

Yes GRASS is happening this year! April 27-29... more details soon.

Good luck in the talent show.

[C-Fan]

So

- blender>pdx blender rpt again

Great combo! I think I'd like it even better if you went pdx blender-blender repeat.

Good luck at the show.

[mosher]

So

- blender>pdx blender rpt again

Great combo! I think I'd like it even better if you went pdx blender-blender repeat.

Good luck at the show.

I had been doing it my way because the two halves flow real well, one foot does two blender moves then the other foot.

Yesterday we played outside in the glorious sun!!! It was 12C out which is beyond comfortable, finally!

I hit blender>pdx blender rpt first try, as if!

What else... food processor bsos!

spin>gyro>spin>gyro>spin>gyro, my first time making it all the way through the drill!

alpine legbeaters like they were nothing.

Also, I zoom like mad now, I love phil morrison style spin charge-up from zooming. Like.. osis trick>spin>merkon>more stuff, always fun.

I need to poo and then go to class. I really didn't have time to write this.

[mosher]

I keep putting this off as Ive been so busy lately.

Here is the readers digest version of the talent show story:
- I was nervous and excited all day awating my turn
- the competition was a bunch of guitar dudes and piano girls and an asian dance troop and some break dancers
- I was the show closer, following the penultimate act of a slow yawner jazz duo
- I went up, explained that I'd be performing my greatest passion in life
- Destroyed the show, crowd went nuts
- I won! I got a sweet plastic crown and the title "King of Queen's" (university)

We filmed the whole thing, it will be posted real soon, swearsies.

For a few days after I couldn't stop wearing my glorious crown and as the king I demanded that many things be done for me. We were watching 'Never Been Kissed' and the prom king had the EXACT same crown! wierd!

Here are my recent shred highlights, I think I leveled up!

- spender bs
- pdx blender>pdx dlo bs
- dyno>pdx blender bs (footed rpt)
- pdx torque>pdx dlo bs
- ripped warrior bsos (!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!FINALLY!!!!!!!!!!!!)
- spikehammer bs
- jacknife bs
- far motion x 4 bs
- spin>gyro rpt x 1.5
- pdx blender>ripwalk bs
- food>rip (maybe bs?)
- locomotion bsos
- food bsos
- rubberman first try, not new, just satisfying
- schmoe>dlo>dod bsos
- pdx dlo>dimwalk rpt x 2
- blender, pdx blender, toe blender and toe ss blender all bsos in one run (actually, dropped on the last toe ss blender)
- pdx torque>symp whirl bs
- pdx blender x 3 bs

hehe, I guess I can blender now! About damn time, I love aggressively attacking them, so sexy.

Shred has been real fun lately, alot less frustrating than the recent past. I guess it's mostly due to the fact that we've been playing so much so regularly.

Peng came out to shred twice recently! It had been so long since she'd joined us. It was real nice. I think it's so cute when she shreds, it makes me really happy.

My head is quite often filled with thoughts of what is next in my life. In less than a month my whole life will change!

I am very excited to graduate. This is the end of my sixth year of my four year degree, I am 'special'. It's amazing how tolerant my school has been of my fuck ups and constant bullshit. Maybe I wouldn't have been such a fuckup and learned to grow up if they weren't so tolerant.

I handed in my last school assignment of my life today in class, it was very satisfying.

I have two more days of school left. Ever..

Just that alone is alot to think about. I spend all my time deeply lost in thoughts. I have a million things flying through my mind at all times, I feel like I am constantly juggling and weighing and feeling the pull of countless overblown passions. I feel too passionate sometimes.

The thing I am looking forward to most about moving to Oakville with my family is free time. I need time to fully indulge in all my passions and hobbies. I am going to get in insane shape! My parents have a bowflex they don't use, I am going to flex many bows.

I havn't 'announced' it yet, but my summer job is going to be as a full time footbag stitcher and there will soon be a surplus of sick footbags. I feel like I am at the top of my stitching game, Ive never made bags nicer than I am making now and I really feel like I have alot of my shit sorted out super solid. I am very confident in what I make. Anyone who sells should be.

As soon as I am ready to take on lots of orders (ie after April when I move to Oakville) I will be accepting all customers and pumping the bags out promptly. With so many things on the go I often find it hard to keep up with orders, but soon stitching will take first priority.

I can't believe I am finally going to graduate. Watching some chick on TV graduate from community college got me all swelled with emotions. I get to do that, I get to be all excited and proud of myself. I can't wait to feel the relief wash over me as I finally move on from the commitments of school life.

I will post the video of my talent show victory ASAP, you'll all be so proud of me!

[footbagi]

Pride.

[kyle]

that six line story is epic! get that vid posted!

[mosher]

Pride.

PRIDE ISN'T A BAD THING.

[footbagi]

Pride.

So much irony. Hahaha, tell you about it later.

OH yah, got news about worlds too.

[mosher]

I didn't mention it but Peng, John Bagi and Greg Raymond were in the crowd cheering me on when I won the King of Queen's. I like my friends.

The main reason my blog sucks now is because I never have time to write in here.

I was kinda bumbed when david told me he got the impression that I am scattered and inconsistent and not driven. I can understand how someone would get that impression if basing impressions solely on what shit gets typed in a hacky blog.

He felt that at one point I was all keen on saving the world and then I just peaced out on it.

The truth is that I have been so passionately pursuing my attempts at saving the world that I don't have time to pop in here and barf our every stupid detail.

I feel like alot of people lead really boring lives compared to me, as a result their blogs are BEAMING with dozens of boring entries.

I don't know... go do something cool with passion.

[david]

I don't beleive I was judging you solely on "hacky blog" entries.

[Slowsis]

How long will you be in Oakville for? Come visit Toronto on Saturday May the 5th for the Marijuana March (if you are already in Oakville by then) and some awesome shreddy goodness with Chan, Haber, Myself and the rest of FAT.

[mosher]

That's the 'easy' way to close bags apparently.

I made it my desktop because it cracks me up so good!



I hit fog bsos the other day, cool!

Anything else... um... pdx blender>tomahawk bs, that was a fun link!



On Wednesday and Friday I have the last two exams of my life! woo!

The other day was my last day of school ever, that was pretty neat too.

I guess none of it has set in.. but at the same time it all has and I am stoked for what is next.

Here is a list of what I am looking forward to as I leave Kingston and start anew:

- FREE TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

- my parent's bowflex (I am going to get so ripped!)

- being near lots of great shredders, I am going to go visit all the little scenes in the area frequently

- garage sales!!! mostly with the aim of continuing to build my ridiculous stable of bikes, you guys wouldnt believe how hard this obsession has hit me

- NO BILLS TO PAY!!!!!!!!!! ahhhh!!!! I won't have to pay rent or for food or any of that shit for a while! If you've never had to pay for EVERYTHING yourself then you won't understand the relief I am about to enjoy

- I am going to get my sister active and in shape and to stop smoking. Getting her to quit is one of my main goals while living in oakville

- Awesome organic food! My parents went all health nuts and so now I get to enjoy it every day, nicccce.

- Purging all my shit when I move. I have a wonderful opportunity to part with all the shit Ive collected over the past 5 years at this place and only keep my sweetest shit. My tools, my clothes and my footbags.

I guess mostly I just want to fully indulge in all the passions that Ive shelved to take care of all the other shit in my life. My job for the next while will be pro footbag stitcher. I could go get a big fancy high-paying engineering job but I am not ready or into that yet.

So my plan is to just take on as many orders as I can and make it to every damn tourny and sell my product to pay for my beers and bikes.

I am going to finally have time to drill and shred as much as I want! I want to live like abshire... wake up, eat, get high, stab a bag, shred, get high, stab a bag, get high, party, sleep>rpt

Also, I am going to throw a fucking sweet tourny. Time will allow me to do that too.

Does anyone want to buy my mesh camo g-units? They are great and all but I needed a half-size smaller. Here is your chance to get the hottest shoe in freestyle pre-modded and worn by the mighty Tom Mosher!

Some people on modified have really sucky attitudes.. I guess it's just because some people in life have really sucky attitudes. It makes me want to do something but I don't know what. Just saying 'shut up and grow up' never suffices, but really it's all they need.

And like.. what the hell is Fred Allens deal? I guess he just likes the attention, but it's pretty pathetic to be so desperate for attention that you are willing to accept any kind of it, even really really negative attention. What a jerk. Shut up and grow up.

[Stefan]

Yessss! Toms coming to the hood. Look forward to some shred once it gets warmer outside. Good luck with exams, I better start studying too I got my Civics final in 4 days.
