that move looked pretty sick. you could pull it off

you said that you were picking in your last post, do you mean banjar pickin? i just started learning. a few of my friends are in a sick bluegrass band.

Haha, No I meant Berry Picking. Not Banjo Strumming.

Ayhow, Things have been pretty good in my life until last night.

Last night things were even better, except the ankle sprain.

I hit Blistering Whirl which I've been working on for 6 years. I said I'd hit it in 5 but it took 6.

I also bust out a little growth spurt on my stomach. I gained 10 pounds this summer up to 163.

I hit well over 100 rakes in a row back and forth switching feet.

It was really fun.

But on Friday I played hack 3 times and sprained my unsprainable right ankle a little bit and now I shouldn't play today cause it's a little swollen.

Oh-well. I'll just come back from it stronger then ever or quit footbag.

I haven't really decided yet. I have to see how well it heals up from it.

Heal up in time for SJFF. Cus I'm 90% sure I'm going. I think my car will make it to grass valley, which is

Santa Cruz, CA
Grass Valley, CA
Distance: 212.3 miles
Approximate Travel Time: 3 hours 24 mins

Grass Valley, CA
Seattle, WA
Distance: 735.9 miles Approximate Travel Time: 11 hours 50 mins

The only way it could work for me to go I'd have to leave Thursday at 6 PM, get to grass valley at around 9:30 or 10, and that would give us 12 hours of driving to do in order to arrive .. friday at 10 in the morning, with very little sleep. I'd have to be back in time for school tuesday, so I'd have to leave Seattle by Monday at around noon. This is assuming I get enough money together which I think I should be able to do, and assuming I don't have like 3 midterms on tuesday or something... but I might blow off 1 test for footbag. in any case, 90% sure, I'm excited.

I played on my slightly sprained ankle today. It wasn't too bothered by the gentle session. But then I kinda sorta resprained it tonight gently walking down the stairs at my friends house.

I bought a new jar of multivitamins today though. That's good.

Be careful old friend.

I hope you're feeling better. Any updates for the ol' blog?

ShredOnLawn · Post by **ShredOnLawn** » 20 Nov 2006 18:48

Well that's it for me. That ankle injury took the fun right out of it.

I quit footbag right after reinjuring my ankle. Tweaking my left Toe(not even playing hack) and then my left knee on an easy perfectly executed double around the world. It just kinda snapped half way through the trick.

So after having 3 injuries all at the same time without reason. I quit footbag forever. Except when it's fun and at events(where it's always fun).

But I'm sick of spending every single day of my life trying to get better. It became too challenging for my life with pollution and my age and diet and everything to continue such a drive forever. I need to rekindle my happiness from deep within the diamond and become a better person before I can improve my footbag skills.

I can't wait for this Florida visit though.

We'd love for you to come down and visit us in Santa Cruz again, maybe to play some net hack instead of that injurious freestyling version of the sport though? I think you'd have a lot of fun right away with it. Stay in good spirits (as I type this from work at 7PM)

I think stopping is a personal decison, but I want you to know how much it meant to me to kick with you at css. I grew up watching your section on just shred 2. You give a lot of people a lot of hope because you weren't an overnight success. Your time and effort rewarded you with being one of the best players in the world. And that can't be taken away, playing or not.

I hope whatever makes you happy happens. I hope you feel better. Props for being you.

I think I found what I've been looking for deep within that diamond!

"The Secret" (Movie)

Watch it.

QuantumBalance · Post by **QuantumBalance** » 05 Dec 2007 12:24

I saw that movie. there is truth to be told in it.. but there is also more too the movie than telling the truth. dont be brainwashed.. take the good from the movie and leave the fancy packaging. thats my oppinion anyway
