There are a number of people around town that I see and want to meet. Mostly because they are brave enough to not dress the same as everyone else. So it is my intention to introduce myself to each of them, or at least tell them they have nice style and someone appreciates it.

Theres this dude that is sooooo extreme looking, I love it! He's like.. five times too cool for words so of course he smokes, I think that's one of the rules of cool.. but I wouldn't know. Anyways, every time I see him I vow that the next time I will introduce myself and plunge into an awkward conversation based around me being a wierdo. I wish people went out of their way to introduce themselves to me.

I just want to meet different people that aren't boring I guess. So many people are really boring and have no ambition. Sometimes I think I have too much ambition, but I am pretty sure that it's one of those things that one can have alot of without it being a bad thing. Diseases on the other hand...

The last exam of my life is on Friday the 13th! cool! Oh man, I am totally going to drink more than a single beer that night!

Hehe being poor but still being a fan of beer Ive taken to drinking one single beer most nights. haha, what a lush! I guess I drink beer for a different reason than most. I just actually really like the taste. So when I go to the beer store I don't get like.. a 24 of some crap, I get a selection of interesting beers from all around the world. I have a feeling that sooner rather than later I am going to dip into brewing. :D

It's been very long since I got drunk. I am glad I am not like the people who's sole intention is to get wasted. It's easy to fall into ruts like that, I much prefer the rut I am in. :P

Want to know why I am writing so much? because I am supposed to be studying. Fuck, back to the books.

I love footbag!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

dc - 7 mens

qg - oakville, ontario soon. then... somewhere....


I am still studying, this course sucks.

It manages to touch on like.. EVERYTHING to some degree and then expects you to be able to do real in-depth calculations based on any one of the stupid unrelated sub-topics. Frustrating.

But at least I know about phagocytosis, bioceramics, cardiovascular stroke volumes, vessel permeabilities, platelet plugs and innate immune responses. I mean, geez, where would I be in life without that essential knowledge?

Ooh! here is my chance to disambiguate that last sentence: [/sarcasm]
I need to learn to make it more clear when I am being silly.

Let me set the scene correctly...

It was over two hours into the talent show and the crowd was nearly asleep from the performance before me. They had already seen a bunch of singers and dancers, even people that claimed to break the dance.

I was a ball of nerves for a few days up till this moment then it all just went away and turned into pure unrestrained energy and excitement. I go all crazy when I am on stage, hehe.

So I stepped onto the stage and delivered this performance to end the show. Enjoy. :)

I cut it off because it was kiiiinda super embarassing but RIGHT after the video ends my hand TOTALLY smashes the crown off my head. I just thought you should know. :P

Feel free to comment and tell me how great I am. :D 8)

Did you see the one spin?? I totally didn't know I was gonna go for it and then it happened and I nailed it and kept going! The crowd totally reacted to it too.

My g-units came this morning!!!!

Right away peng and I attacked them, she did one while I did the other. It was really nice not having to do another shoe once I finished mine!

They fit perfect, finally! It took me purchasing 3 pairs of g units to get the right damn size. BUY THEM SMALLER THAN YOU THINK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


I am going to shred with john bagi today, I'll let you know how the shoes work.

Oh yeah, and the other day at the end of my session after my climas came off I tried a few strings in lavers. I really wanted to prove to myself that I am not a footbag poser and that I can in fact do tricks in them.

I am satisfied to say that I *was* able to play, but it's just so forced. Like.. I don't appreciate having to waste 20% of my energy trying to keep my feet from slipping. Add to that the total lack of energy that is carried from trick to trick and you wind up really tired and sore quickly. The huge benefit of shoes like climas and g's is that they have energy rebound. That matters probably the most of all shoe things, even though it rarely gets talked about. Most people don't actually know why shoes are good. Not having to waste a ton of energy starting your momentum up again after lavers dump it off between each trick is stupid and wasteful.

OK, so I know I CAN do tricks in lavers, but why the hell would I?

It's like.. yeah, I can scream every word I say but isn't that a little inefficient?

First session in the new g's was sweet!

Highlights:

- duck>duck>duck>spin rpt

- duck>spin>spin rpt

- vortex BSOS (I hadn't hit either one in almost a year)

- fury BS

- phoenix>far motion>pdx blender>PS whirl>hand>whole combo on the other side first try! 8O


All in all, very enjoyable. I am going to stick with these for a while, they fit really well and I can already go as hard as I ever have in climas.

My stepping ducking was also the best Ive ever had it today. stoked!

My legs are tired.

The second last exam of my life is tomorrow at 9 AM, wish me luck!

Also, watch the talent show video posted up above, I am really proud of it and I want everyone to see it!

I know your not an architect but I thought you might enjoy this pic of the Bahan Center. Its taken from exactly where we were hackin it up. This image is made of many images to create a full scale view from floor to cieling. That means each individual image has to be stretched and pulled and twisted to allow the larger, newly formed image to look proportional. Thought your brain would like it. :wink:

MOSHER! Life has been crazy lately, no? Last exam eh? That's awesome! Part of me wishes I could say the same and part of me loves tests. LOVE TESTS.

Man, well, I thought I'd pop in and say something. I want to go back to Europe! I'm going to go back and just live there because Europe is probably the best, ever ever.

Well, that Talent show was awesome. So full of energy.

If I come back, and you are already in Oakville and all set up, it's about 20 minutes away from I live depending on where you are. Hopefully we can shred!

Oh, soon I am getting some silicone in the mail, which means I'll be able to practise in Clima's. You were completely right about being "able" to play in them, but it is a complete waste of potential.

I'm using your flag bag every session now 8) It just keeps getting better. I can't even imagine Armaretta bags.
