So far I have heard that all the money for the event is going to fly in fancy stars that won't come on their own merit and now I hear that the locations been stolen. Sweet!

Awesome organizing guys!

Yeah eh? ...well... Johnny (and I guess Jay's?) doing, but I completely concur.

Tom, come on, Brantford is beautiful for camping and it sure beats OAKVILLE.

We came there last time, and people have gone there many-a- time, but how often do we go to Brantford? We owe it to Johnny.

Though I don't know if you had some other location in mind?

As for "fancy stars", who knows for sure, but I thought it was a very sweet idea.

Shut up Tom!

[haha. in your own blog. eat that.]

Johnny: Sorry I didn't end up posting that before, I know I said I would (tho I was half joking), and I thought it was really up to you anyway.

Wakahakee will be amazing no matter what!

Though I'm a bit confused about what "money for the event" is being spent on... isn't this camping? It's... uh... an inexpensive-survive-the-(urbanized- for the sake of convenience-) wilderness-chill-the-fuck-out-kinda-thing.... isn't it???

I don't get it, do we need to actually rent a space to shred? I guess you need money for shirts if you plan to do that again but you'll get that back, and with profit, no? What money?

Camille - I have nothing against Brantford or Johnny helping organize. My problem was that there was zero discussion between the people organizing and then sketchy unverified details are trickling out only serving to confuse people!

If there is some camping spot in brantford that has all the things that the oakville one did except all in one place then it'd be an obvious choice to make!

Why do people feel the need to attack me when shooting me down?

The money issue isn't a big one. I was just saying that any extra funds should go to making the tournament better for the people that come. That could mean making sure theres water to drink, snacks, prizes, a case or two of beer, anything OTHER than paying for someone who doesn't care enough to come unless BOUGHT. Make sense?

I guess I'm sorry for causing any confusion, I was joking more than anything. Although I do think Brantford would be better.

That does totally make sense and I we should do that instead. We should start using the facebook group for discussion. Cool, Tom?

Sounds good Johnny. Lets make this awesome!

Soooo, I was looking through the pictures people posted from WEMF and I came across one with Uho in it! Sigh, it only serves to bum me out a little more... I gave her those glow sticks!

I've been putting alot more effort into my trick track forum, I've even begun promoting it more. I'd planned on doing lots of trick tip tutorials, since none exist for these bikes yet, and someone pointed out that they would be my sites golden egg. That really encouraged me so I went out and filmed a ton last night. Now, to capitalize!

Oh, and I am throwing a premiere for the DVD I am in and I have been communicating with the makers of this other SICK DVD to have it premiere on the same night and they're into it! yay!

I've been shredding some lately!

At my last session, which was a (905)SHRED rejuvenation session, I had some pretty sweet highlights.

I think my favy was hitting spinning whirl+pdx blender both bsos in one string with my freshly shredable waylon bag.

It just felt good to be playing and playing well too. I am feeling strong lately!

Last tuesday I did my first ever backflips that were outside of the gym thanks to the inspiration of my buddy Toby. And then I went on to do a string of 5 days straight of backflips!

I skipped yesterday as my legs were too beat to huck me around after dancing all night long Saturday.

I chucked a couple today but they weren't that great, I wasn't warmed up and it was pretty early in the day. Anyways, the real point of doing them is sorta a metaphor for just committing and going for things. I was so scared of them my whole life, remember I had the recurring dreams of this very thing for years, and now they are something I took the time to learn and embrace. So I want to make them a useful tool, not something I am scared of, so far so good!

I wonder if the boys want to play footbag tonight...

Tomorrow night is TO Track Tricks, which is quickly becoming my favourite night of the week. The night is really gaining momentum and a solid crowd of enthused people show up each week. This week promises to be big too, as Friday I met many new people at an alleycat race that said they'd love to come out now that they've met me! haha I get that sometimes, people have trouble interpreting my tone online, but once they've met me I make WAY more sense and in general people like me.

I am in pretty great shape right now and it's fun!

Oh! one more thing! I have a follow-up interview with the wheelchair job to have a session working with his engineer to see how we get along, awesome!!!

I love youuuu alllllllll, thanks for being my friends!

Welp, I guess my stars have aligned.

I am pretty sure I have an incredible job and and equally exciting girlfriend.

I didn't see either coming, but I can't stop smiling.

I better get a place in Toronto now!

girls suck.

mosher · Post by **mosher** » 09 Aug 2008 22:25

Geez, someone be proud of me!

I finally got my first REAL JOB and my whole life has completely changed and this scene of people I consider my best friends in the world have nothing to say?

Cheer me on jerks!

PS the other day shredding I hit DOD swirl off a pass into a good string that had the other DOD swirl.

props on the job, homey. didn't know it was official. also, girl looks cute. post nudes.

whenever I think about how worlds is happening, I get a little queasy

mosher · Post by **mosher** » 10 Aug 2008 07:52

Yah, it's kinda crushing knowing that this is the first world's of my footbag career I couldn't afford to make it to.

It was all fucking money for me this year.

But now I am making $20/hr full time so FUCK YOU MONEY, you will no longer hold me back!

I VOW to make it to world's next year! geez!

And thanks for the nice note, I knew my friends would be proud of me, I just didn't get why no one cared to cheer me on a little.

Camilleon · Post by **Camilleon** » 10 Aug 2008 09:00

Good job Tom! Holy money!

And that chick is smokin'!

max · Post by **max** » 11 Aug 2008 00:59

Props on the job Tommy.

And I second what Camille says: that chick definitely IS smoking.

Also, what Matt said: post nudes!

jay7 · Post by **jay7** » 11 Aug 2008 23:45

You are greatly missed here Tom, I think we all miss you and your ability to speed up footbag players movement towards eating, sleeping or decision making.

Props on the dodswirls. Props on the female, and awesome Job, congratulations ...I would use punctiation if this keyboard was useable. Perhaps imagine a few exclamation marks, where you see fit.

mosher · Post by **mosher** » 12 Aug 2008 05:52

Thanks friends!

And Jay, in my imagination I put an exclamation between each word, so all I have to say is CALM DOWN!

If nobody is stepping up and being alpha dog you know what to do. Look at your "What would Tom Do?" decoder ring and make it happen!

I sure would like to be at world's right now though...

At least my stuff is looking up in general.

I haven't gotten to see Sydney since our first meeting, I hope to get to see her tonight.

I start work today at 1PM, how awesome is that?

I should hack soon...

Girls suck.

mosher · Post by **mosher** » 16 Aug 2008 09:08

Bleh, I came on too strong and scared her away.

Emoooooo.

I've already moved on though.

I mean, I guess I got something out of it. I'd always wanted to get with a suicide girl.

Though really I wanted a gf.

Sounds like world's has been a trip.

I wasn't the genius that said this (and I don't know how bad that person wants others to know he said this) but....:

It came up in an MSN convo and I just had to turn it into an image, and it's pink because I am me.

mosher · Post by **mosher** » 18 Aug 2008 18:19

well wtf do I know.. Sydney suddenly reappeared and gives a shit still..

We'll see how this goes, I was harbouring some mighty negi/blue thoughts after being ditched in the rain repeatedly.
