WoW isn't as good as it is hyped up to be, though it is still fun.

Endurance sucks.

Style feels like shit.

Lost my touch on so many tricks.

Tennis courts are no longer useable for footbag. YMCA is too busy. Left with our kitchen, which I dislike even more.

Left shin hurts.

Bottom of right foot hurts primarily when I do pdx tricks.

Right ankle is bothersome.

I feel like hibernating.

There's a hole in my Quantums already.

Symp Flurry bsos

Sunilwalker > Janiwalker bs

Barfly > Sunilwalker x 2


Hackrifice is going to be the last jam of the year. I might take a month or two off afterwards and perhaps get back into weight lifting and playing squash with Nolan.

Yeah, sometimes taking a break can be a good thing. You play really hard (I still remember that night at worlds you were busting in the garage, I left for a few hours to swim/drink, I came back, and you were still busting in the same circle) too, so your body must take a lot of stress. If your body hurts, listen to it. I think your cross training idea is a good one.

And as for the Quantums falling apart, I've heard that complaint from other people too.

I think the reason why they tore is because I have hobbit feet - short, wide and hairy, thus causing a lot of presure on the outside area by my pinky toe. The same thing happened to my first pair of Lavers.

Had a good kick at the YMCA last night - my ankle still gave me problems but my shin / bottom of the foot not so much. I was happy with some links I did:

- Alpine Food Processor bs
- Alpine Matador
- Symp Torque bs in a run with Pdx Torque > Pdx Torque
- Big Apple bsos
- Fury > Reactor > Symp Torque bs
- Genesis bs (almost bsos twice)
- Sunilwalker > Ripped Warrior bs
- Matador > Janiwalker bs
- Ripwalk > Spikehammer > Legbeater x 2 > run
- ss Butterfly > Ripped Warrior > ss Butterfly > Ripped Warrior > ss Butterfly > Janiwalker > ss Butterfly > Janiwalker > run
- Gangsta Party bs in a run with Montage
- Symp Torque > Big Apple off the foot
- Montage > Gangsta Party off the foot


This weekend is going to be sweet. Today is my gf's birthday and I'm taking her out to dinner at a sushi place, then tomorrow we are having my dad's, my mom's and my birthday celebrations with a few other family members. I'm going to be eating like a king 8) .

Then Monday morning I have to get up at 4:30am to go to work :x .

Your mom's and dad's and your birthdays are all so close? Wow.
My birthday is always during the Thanksgiving weekend, so I get two awesome meals too :D Can't wait, now that you've made me think about it.

Are you going to be here next weekend, Byrin?
Pleeeaase say yes.

Yeah, I also have short, wide feet, which made Lavers very uncomfortable. I found that once I switched to G-Units, it was no longer an issue. I think some people's feet just don't work with the shape of Lavers.

That was a fun string to watch.

It was funny because he'd been trying his flip for awhile before this string, but hit his strong first. I commented during the string (rude, I know...) that his blender's window is so much bigger on his strongside. Maybe if he tried to emulate that on his flip, he'd have more success...and before I could even finish that thought, he bsos'd it.

And I just laughed and said, "K, my mistake."

And then he hit montage. lol, basically. The guy's a champ.


Oh, he also hit [mobius > tomahawk > barfly] > rpt. On request, first try. Looked nice. :)

for the love of footbag and your life please dont play this game :(
I got addicted to it and played t way to much and started playing it more than footbag at one time, i would play around 2 hours a day of WoW and maybe and hour of hack, it wasnt long that i started playing WoW 4-5 hours a day and hack only twice a week

so do us all a favor and un install the devil, yeah thats right WoW is the devil
Your next task: Go to the bathroom.
Wash your face.
Put your shoulders hunched upwards.
Look really, really slowly upwards towards the mirror like in the movies
And slap yourself in the face.
With your game face on.
And go shred with jim.
It'll work, trust me.

Props on Nemesis, that's a lot of people's dream move.

And yeah, I hear that IRL is a much better game than WOW. Somebody should post the poster for it that was in Sam's blog.

i played it until i had two lvl 70 characters. . . .. .which was WAY more time than any human being should play a game. (70 is the level cap if you didnt know. the fastest recorded time of someone reaching 70 is around 7 days played time). anyway sorry for the blog hijack.

definatly props on nemisis man and

Symp Torque > Shaft
Gyro Rev. Swirl > Janiwalker
