I just read the first page of your blog after watching Byrin's new vid of you. You've come a long way baby.

I just lost an hour and a half worth of calculations because of a computer crash and subsequent file corruption. I hate boilers and lab reports that go along with them.

I feel like I'm wasting my time all the time. Like I'm pedaling further and further away from my goals. I am too stubborn to get off the bike and start walking in the right direction.

A little man in my head says to me "Sometimes you have to move backwards to move forwards". Well he can fuck off.

I feel a bit better now.

It's important to eat nachos when you're hungry so that you don't feel hungry anymore.

EDIT:

and don't forget to apply chipstack.

Are those last two like toe double spinning?

SlashC · Post by **SlashC** » 28 Mar 2008 22:17

gyro gyro is like ... set, backspin, spot the bag, backspin (opposite direction of first backspin), and catch the bag on the same foot the bag was set from. I think I normally call the clipper version uh... peaking osis. I think I hit toe double inspinning toe a while ago.
