Finished a bag today, other then that today was the most dismal day I've experienced in a long long time. Though towards the end of it i did manage to play a little footbag. Though it was barefoot, and in my room, and only lasted for like 10 minutes, and there were only two highlights, i made a video of it. Enjoy.

So that is basically all that happened in the course of a day.

I missed out on an awesome opportunity to get out of the house today because i had to watch my little sister. I was incredibly frustrated at her, and everything else. I just wanted to go to sleep and never wake up. It was a really bad day.

Oh well...

hey man, I know how the terrible days go. I lived through a ton of them in the last year. I really hope the world looks better soon enough. But until then, maybe to cheer you up, here's a joke: Two peanuts walk down the street. One was a salted

two sick moves, buddy! nice. all very clean.

Thanks Matt, I really want to start throwing toe dbl pickup a lot, i don't see it very often, and it's an awesome trick.

Thanks for the sympathy Ian, that joke made me laugh.

Ok, so heres the basic summery of today. Went to school, stitched during study hall, broke needle in half as i was pulling the thread through the fabric, and i thought i swallowed the pointy part.

So i call my dad and we go to the hospital. On the way up i keep feeling these little pains in my stomach and chest, and i start getting anxious, though i didn't really think they were the needle (I have a cold, and my state of mind could've just clouded my judgment) But i was still freaked out and worried.

I got checked in and then had some X-Rays taken of my throat, chest, and abdomin. Luckily they weren't able to find anything, so i probably didn't swallow the needle, even though i believed i had.

So yeah, it was a freaky experience. Though it's not going to stop me from stitching

Now onto a different subject. If anyone would like to tell me how i could go about getting a real glovers needle i would be greatly appreciative. I've been to a bunch of stitching stores and nobody seems to know what a glovers needle is. I've had to use needles i bought from a beading/quilting shop, and they worked fine, but the ones I've used so far have broke thanks to my biting them to pull them through the fabric (I use the stitching method matt's been using lately, it really is awesome for three stitch) So yeah, i would like to have a real needle.

Nothing new to report footbag wise, except that i think the bag I'm making right now is going to be the most playable I've ever made. Stone Grey Pents, and this weird amerretta like Black color hexes. It's three stitch, and it's going to be awesome.

So i just had an awesome 25 minute barefoot session in my room. Exclusively toe to toe stuff. Had some sick pixie/fairy shuffle runs, and hit a couple new things.

Flip Toe Dbl Pickup

and Pixie SS Dbl Pickup (Basically a crispy TATW)

I also hit Dbl Switch BSOS and Dbl Pickup on my strong side in one run, so that was cool.

All in all, it twas cool. Hope i get to put on the old quantums and go have a shred this weekend. We'll see.

I was totally imagining swallowing a needle while i read that, that's really scary dude.

Props on the highlights too.

Hello everyone. I had two sessions today, one really mild one at school, and one regular one at home. Highlights from my home session are as follows:

Alpine Fairy Beater Bsos

Jani again, my strong furious is starting to work, though it'll be awhile before i start hitting furious torques and nemesis's and stuff like that. My flip furious is retarded, but it'll come, just got to practice it, and school stepping.

Whirr midstring

I'm still a little weak from being footbag deprived for a week, but I'll get my strength back.

I think I'm going to start a footbag/hacky sack club at the school where i go to take my two advanced classes. See, my almost step-brother goes there, and he's told all his friends about me, and i was playing near where they were eating lunch today. So we all started playing some hack, and to my surprise one of his friends busted out bsos clippers. I was like WHHAATT?!!? Turns out he can hit ATW, mirage, and butterfly as well. It was pretty awesome. My almost stepbrother (his name is Branden) can hit ATW and Mirage as well.

So i'm thinking that i could start a regular old hacky sack club there, and we could just meet and kick the bag around every now and then. I could then offer to teach anyone how to freestyle if they wanted to learn. I think it could work, and it would be awesome having more freestylers here in the incredibly exciting Rogue Valley.

Alright, on to a different subject.

NYJ

I really really want to go this year, but the odds are against me. I would have to plea to relatives to make going financially possible, or i could street perform, but the liklihood of making upwards of 600 dollars street performing with no prior experience is low.

I really want to go this year because i missed out last year, and i heard it was awesome, and i saw the DC video, and regretted i didn't try any harder. I also think it would be beneficial to my game, since i could most def get active advice. It would just overall be awesome. Plus i would get to fly, which i haven't done since i was an infant, and i would be going on a trip by myself.

I would also get to go see The Half Blood Prince with a bunch of footbaggers, which sounds off the heezy.

So yes, those are my thoughts right now.

If you read this post, respond with "yes." That is all

Lulz. I still got your post!

Just finished a good session at local tennis courts.

Highlights

Whirl>Ripwalk>rpt x5

Spinning Clip>Osis>Rpt (Felt good)

Pdx Whirl b2b and Barfly b2b in one run

Pdx Tap Bsos (Flip nuclear finally worked)

Muted Nuclear SS Clip bs

Ducking Clip>Ripwalk>Ripwalk>Rpt

Pixie Weaving Osis (Strongside)

Footbag was awesome today. I had awesome music to shred to, and my mind set was righteous.

Ducking and spinning was bomb digity delectable today as well. I'm starting to throw those concepts like a major league pitcher.

Double downs are nice too.

So far I have 31 dollars raised for NYJ....I have a feeling that the liklihood of me attending this event is low, we'll see...

hey eoghan, i'm not sure how you feel about it, but have you thought of maybe stitching and selling bags as a way to raise money for NYJ?

i dont know about anyone else 'round these parts, but if you did, i'd buy a bag from you if it brought you any closer to NYJ.

just a thought

EoghanMcDowell · Post by **EoghanMcDowell** » 28 Sep 2008 09:09

I do have two bags I've stitched recently i want to sell, but i don't have a paypal, and I'm unfamiliar with the process. The bags are two stitch, but i personally think they look awesome. But yeah, it's definitely a possibility. I'll see what i can do. Thanks for offering to buy one.

You should come to New Year's Jam, because this is our 9th year and it won't last forever. Make your parents pay, or maybe find a ride-share on craigslist.
