everyday feels so long. but im busy the whole day, and it makes summer drag on.

i guess im ready for a vacation, just like everyone else.

i made a bag and finished this at lunchtime.

today we played hackysack.

i hit

pixie muted same whirl
fairy same symp rev whirl
and something else. idk.

barfly.

longer strings.

lots of spining osis, pixie shuffle, and some stepping that makes me drop.

some far/paradox shit, and every now and then ducking stuff i can never land midstring.

i smashed my finger in the car door. luckily, its my bird finger. right hand. i can still stitch, but i need to stop yoyoing so much. my r. index finger split at a joint, and its from yo.superglue.

need to draw some panels.

14more days tomorrow.

Either that bag is tiny, or you are a giant

12 more days until we leave for orlando.

some thoughts going through my head:
damn this is the first time ive competed in footbag
what am i thinking!?
shit im excited, though.

ive already come to terms with losing this womens shred 30... unless someones knee gives out or whatever. so ive decided, the only way to turn something good out of this disaster is to make it fun. how will you do that, holly? well, youll see.

we went and saw the simpsons movie. i was suprised at how adult related some of the things were. i saw barts penis, marge said god damn, and hillary was running for vice prez. it was a pretty good movie, but i hate kids so listening to them laugh at the things adults laughed at kind of pissed me off. oh well.

we footbagged with lee on thursday. nothing new from me. we got there at 5pm and decided we needed some water, so we went to the gas station. we ended up splitting 8 donuts between the two of us and finished them by the time we got back to the park (5:30) and started to shred. damn those donuts made us drowsy. luckily, the red bull people pulled up and gave us 4 redbulls!!!! lee didn show up till about 6 cause he was working, so he missed out. oh well.

lee busted his knee pretty good. i think if he takes care of it, he should be fine for worlds. take care of your knee, lee! youre competing in open!

we are supposed to go footbag today after brian gets his car swap all straightened out. i dont understand why he has to rush into this deal. whatever, if he makes a mistake maybe he'll learn from it.

i dont have hardly any bags ready for worlds. shit, thats what im gonna go do now.

how is everyone else?

Competing is a good thing to do i reckon, even if you dont rate your chances. Think of it as a way of challenging yourself. Take your result at Worlds, then try to better it at the next comp, or at least perform a better routine in your own opinion. With the level of the top footbaggers in mens and womens divisions, usually the winners are decided before the comp even starts and if you arent amongst those people, you only have yourself to compete with.

My parents will be in Nashville sometime in the next month! How crazy! I wonder if i could nut out some way for them to buy a bag from the both of you...

brinard · Post by **brinard** » 30 Jul 2007 16:31

you could just give us money, and bags will magiklly appear from your mailbox in a few weeks.

i think ill try my best at worlds, and take it easy until the comp.

im not worried about winning, but id like to. im not in my best playing status right now, and i cant help what lemons life gives me.

i want to have as much fun as possible. thats why im going to worlds. and to make some spare cash for my apple care when i get home.

yoyo worlds starts tomorrow. neato huh? its in orlando as well.

i hit some weird rev whirl move. like revup, but....
far inspinning revwhirl rake? i think thats it.

Yeh unfortunately Customs gets all knife-happy when we import footbags and they cut them open at random.

david · Post by **david** » 30 Jul 2007 21:39

i dont know if you've said it but are those things counterweights or real bags? because i think the counterweight idea is cool, but that yo yo might just be big.

idk.

PegLegHolly · Post by **PegLegHolly** » 30 Jul 2007 22:15

hey ian, we wouldnt mind meeting your dad and all. just pm one of us when you find out what youre wanting and when you want it. we can work something out for sure

Page 33 is long gone, time for a new video?

mc · Post by mc » 31 Jul 2007 05:07

hey, just watched your vids on page 33. decent form on ss mirage ss mirage butter. Is there vid with a longer freeze on the mosher's tail? or possibly a one-handed mosher's tail (which I think is awesome)? can't wait to see it in person. see you guys in FL!

PegLegHolly · Post by **PegLegHolly** » 31 Jul 2007 08:24

it IS about time for a new video!!!
maybe we will make one this weekend.

ill get the one handed one on tape, and hopefully ill be able to hold the pose longer. youll definately be seeing something special in my shred 30 (if i dont bust my face trying).

seems like the days get suckier and suckier as we get closer and closer to worlds. money has become tight and nothing has really been going right. i had a massage appointment for tomorrow that ive been looking forward to for quite some time. they called and canceled today because the massage therapist got hurt. boooo. so i canceled my manicure appointment and decided to go all out with a pedicure. im excited, my feet need some lovin.

then brides maid dresses. then to steves for a dance party. hopefully tomorrow wont suck too bad.

lee backed out on bringing some stuff to worlds. its all good though.

i have 7 bags made right now... and i have 4 more to make (2 are preorders). i might get to make more than that, but thats my goal for now.

i preordered some quantums for worlds too!

shred today if its not raining...
cucumber crab salad tonight!

brinard · Post by **brinard** » 02 Aug 2007 19:43

infinity rev swirling xbd rake

far revwhirling revswirling xbd rake

monster

and some crappy strings. theres no way i will do good at worlds. my legs feel really sluggish and heavy... i havent been able to footbag much lately... been trying to juggle everything i do all day long because time is so strapped.

we want boomerang the tv channel. we got to watch smurfs and jetsons the other day. i love cartoons. not much id rather do than daze into old cartoons.

finished another footbag. this one will be a "novelty" bag for you, because counterwights dont make much sense for footbag players....

shred solo tomorrow probably, and depending on when/where i can, maybe ill record some....

okay, tv time.

this time next week we will be at worlds.

had an alright day! finally! had my pedicure (omg) and went to davids bridal to look for brides maid dresses. that took 3 hours and 20 different dresses to pick out that i like the first one i tried on. fuckin girls.

went to steves for dancin. steve was a bit hammered but i got some good hugs and talks out of him. i had a blast. i danced danced danced.yaaaaaaAYYYY~!!!

you dont know how long ive needed a good time.

PegLegHolly · Post by **PegLegHolly** » 07 Aug 2007 11:26

fuck work. i woke up sick (ive been sniffly the past week) and didnt want to go in... but figured i needed to and it wouldnt be too hard. janitor work is easy as pie on a window sill. got to work, and our boss told us to forget cleaning... we needed to be moving furniture. fuck. got a few good hits on the shins, the elbows, and my face. hate hate hate hate

worlds worlds worlds worlds. we started packing last night. we kind of have to because we will forget a lot of essentials.

im bringing my laptop to worlds and i plan on uploading all the pictures i take at the end of the days so people who arent at worlds can at least get some visuals.

i tried calling disney to see if donald duck could sing happy birthday to brian. alas, cinderella is the only one that can talk... but shes lame. ill have to figure something else out.

brinard · Post by **brinard** » 08 Aug 2007 15:31

so we;re pretty close to being ready. tomorrow we have work off, so thats awesome. work today was super fucked tho. it was pretty pointless what we did, but we had to do it. whatever. dislike our boss.

but i finished another footbag, and here is a lot that ive made.

oh, and 90% of those are for sale at worlds.

and heres the latest... colonial/atlantis. pretty small compared to the others. highest gather, softest colors.

still sporting the beard you see. retard brian

must be the crack.

got a sweetass yoyo yesterday, like one of the only nice things we did, other than go arcadeing. the yoyo was the worlds shadow 888. its sooooo nice. i wanna make a cw for it, but i might not have time. maybe while im at worlds...

so yeah. support nfb and buy our footbags. holly has 8 or so, and i have something like 20.

see everyone at worlds.

brian
