So this is my 500th post!!!

Shredding at the Taste was pretty fun, but mostly just on that first day, 'cause I was actually shredding and hangin', not like the second day performing, for hours, in the sun's brutal heat...

Highlights from that first day are as follows:

-TATW sealed with a nice hand catch after not very many attempts. My second ever

-One run with PS whirl BSOS, blurry whirl BSOS, spinning pdx whirl BSOS, and blurriest ending with a hand catch

Everyone's shred seemed pretty on. Jeff's game was looking really controled. Lauren came but didn't shred 'cause she's out of practice and has also lost her awesome lavers. A run by Tom caused the only audible reaction from Lauren. I think it was while hitting some smooove link like bubba beater>toe barrage>dbl legover near the end of an already prop-worthy string. Reid, Tom, and I took a couple attempts at the drill. No one was looking all that spectacular at it. I definitely wasn't feeling it that day. Oh well.

I haven't shredded once since that last day at the taste. I've just been working too much. A bunch of consecutive doubles (in other words like 12 straight hours of work). Today I only worked in the evening but I was just feeling kind of tired and also felt unmotivated to shred. There are some other things that I'd like to accomplish before this summer is over, so I might just put footbag on the backburner until school starts. I'm sure I'll have more motivation to shred when one of my three roommates is Reid. Plus we'll live really close to the armory which will be nice when weather is bad.

A while back I mentioned that there was this dream move I was working towards this summer. Well, I'm still really far from even attempting it so I'll have to make that more of a long term goal. I also wanted to have nice consistent whirling swirls by the end of this summer which also never happened. Still, I re-learned whirls and now I am able to do them consistently and consecutively midtime (instead of downtime) and have also improved my symple swirls on both sides. At least some progress has been made. The 24 contact drill will also remain a long term goal that will require more endurance and better ps whirl control.

Well that's about it for now. This turned out to be quite the hefty post, but that's OK. Take care modified!

Nice post. Too bad I missed the TATW again.

Look out everybody. Now that I found out where the grocery store is, I will have more energy then ever before. Instead of eating one meal a day I will eat as much as I want when ever I want. No more rationing food to get me through the month. No more digging through the trash for peoples scraps... oh no, I know where the grocery store is, and it is only three minutes away on bike. I was able to buy and carry home on my bike, a gallon of whole milk, 18 oz of cheese, 18 eggs, 2 poundsof choclate chips, and dental floss. I will have so much energy, it freaking awesome. No more ending my sessions after two hours because I have no energy, no more hunting down campus squirrel. Ladies and gentelman if you thought I was progressing fast this summer already, now that I have food.... Look out!!!

Not-so-ripped Warrior · Post by **Not-so-ripped Warrior** » 15 Jul 2007 21:22

Footbag: where socially unacceptable becomes the norm

I like reading in spanish. On weekends I read cuentos de viajeros. I usually don't go out, and I'm completley content with that. Am I an old man? Laltley my right testacle has been giving me problems, and I feel the urge to tell whomever about it. I announce my defications to my co-workers. In the morning I cook my breakfast naked.... if I'm in my apartment I'm usually naked. I spend hours a day sometimes watching my guppies in hopes that one of the females is having babies at that moment. If they are I spend the whole night watching them and trying to count and recount the babies. Instead of washing my footbag shorts I jump in the pool and try to play it off that I'm stretching. I consistintly deficate three times a day. Usually once in the morning and twice at night(once after work, and once before bed). I spend under twenty dollars on groceries a week. I eat lotsof oatmeal, and put choclatechips on it and honey, and syrup sometimes. That explains my defications. I crave apple sauce but I barely buy it whether because of cheapness of laziness or both.

I had a good session today barflys were consistent, but not good enough to do many repeated. I spun out of pswhirl. My left side(right clipper) is better than my right.

Dinner today before session and swim was t-bone from my great uncles calf( the one that climbed the fence) and a small bowl of cereal. Dinner after swim and session(9:30 to five minnutes ago,( the rice took long to cook)), was two cups of rice, a bowl of cereal and oatmeal with the choclateechips and honey, and hard boiledegg. Multiviatamin immediatly following the workout.

Very nice post Reid. But I have a very hard time believing that. By deficate you do mean shit, right? 'Cause 3 times a day is crazy. That is to say, doing that consistently is crazy. I did it once recently, but just because I had gone several days without eating much (and therefore didn't deficate for those days) and then on one day I ate a shit-ton of food, and BAM (that is to say, SPLAT) I shit 3 times in one day. But yeah, that was a 1 time deal. To do that consistently is not normal. You're not forcing them out before sessions, are you? Stop doing that if you are.

So speaking of food, I have a question for all y'all out there. How many Reese's Peanut Butter Cups have, HISTORICALLY, come in a King Size package. Think for a moment before I bias your memory...

...well let me tell you. The answer is 3. That is to say, I'm 99% sure that my memory is correct and that 3 cups came in each King Size package. (I am yet to check online because fuck checking things online). However I was at Walgreen's the other day with a friend and we saw a 4-chambered King Size Reese's Cup package. I was like, "What is this shit?! Aren't people fat enough already?!" So then I bought it and ate all 4. And since then I have seen only King Size packages with 4 cups. Now my friend said that she thought they were always in packs of 4. But I just think that when she saw the pack her memory just changed to accomodate this incoming information.

What do you think???

CIC flurry · Post by **CIC flurry** » 22 Jul 2007 02:09

Shit man, I was about to say 4 right away. i think I have had 3 from cheap ass movie theateres or something. But I may be biasing myself since I've had my fair share of king size reese's lately and thus have forgotten how it was years ago. I feel tempted to check online, but I think it might be more fun to ask random people for the next week.

Oh and I think 3 shits a day can be normal.
