he's pretty good with a bo staff
It's written Bow Staff, GOSH!
A bit has happened since i last posted. Lets start with developments in life.
At school in my American Studies class we had an awesome discussion about the Bread and Roses Strike of the 1800's. All the stuff that went down during that pivotal time was pretty intense. The dynamite conspiracies, the murders, the arrests, everything is really interesting. Our class is required to read a book on it, which is actually pretty good.
Anywho, my math is looking up. I got some help from the teacher, and I'm starting to understand it, though it's still a bit vague. I'll just have to keep getting help when i get stuck, but i know i can get through it.
I joined our Schools first sports team, which just happens to be an Ultimate Frisbee team coached by my favorite teacher (Who also teaches my Drama class AND American Studies) For our practice games i had to guard the fastest kid at school. He's taken gymnastics, and is super buff. Like if you ask him at school to do a back flip, or a front flip, he'll just say "Ok" and do it. It's crazy. But anyway, it's a crazy workout staying on him. But i managed to make a few good blocks while guarding him, which i'm a bit proud of. Ultimate is awesome, and I'm glad I'm getting into it more.
Had a session with Cale on Friday. We filmed our sick1's for the online comp. We both hit new fives for us, so that was cool. He seemed to be a bit out of practice, but he got back into it. I had one good run that had to have been upwards of 30 contacts. Later that night i had a solo session in my living room, and decided i would start on the training program Anssi gave me. The new concept I'm learning is Eggbeaters, and the other concept I'm drilling is drifters. I guess I'll just post what I'm doing to drill them.
Eggbeaters: 10 repeats of the trick, good attempts count (Hit my first five Eggbeaters)
Drifters: 10 repeats of trick on both sides. Hit Drifter>Drifter (Finally!)
I'm going to increase the number of repeats i do for drifter my next session. That way I can train myself to become more consistent with the trick.
Oh yeah, my rev-swirling is getting pretty good, came close to Rev-up BSOS, starting from both sides. I also hit a sick new five.

That trick feels really cool.
Went to the last of my sisters Basketball games. I'm glad the seasons over. It was a really close game throughout. Both teams were always within one basket to the other. It ended up being a tie, which everybody seemed satisfied with. There was the idea of a pizza party floating around, but my dad quickly shot it down (Bam!
)
My Lavers still haven't arrived. They were sent out on the 14th of February. I can't believe how long it's taking them to get here. Ugh.
Hope i have the motivation to play tomorrow. It kinda comes and go's in waves.
Well, thats pretty much everything for now, except for my thoughts on American Idol, and Halo 3, and Video Games in general, and Parkour, and personal identity. But thats all for future posts. Be seeing you.

I'm sure he has at least one day off a week. Since he works in a bar, you know that he's old enough to be able to get transportation to meet you somewhere that's not the parking lot of a bar.
glad to hear your playing.
