oh my....
just received the next big bang.....
our landlords (?) gave my parents a written notice that we have to move out from our house until July 1st.....we've been living here not even 2 years....
our financial situation is pretty bad, but this message kind of blows up everything.....
what a week....i think this must've been the worst week in my entire life so far....
we're fucked.....pretty damn ugly fucked.

1.) quitting weed (and hopefully other drugs) is the best way you could go!!!!!!!
footbag is the best drug in the world!
I hope you don't need more (except chinese food, of course!!! :D )

2.) did you clear your housing situation?
does everything goes well?
keep your head up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey Alf, thanks for the encouraging words. I'm feeling pretty well quitting weed after such a long time of consuming it. I'm convinced it is the better option.
Housing situation isn't cleared yet, but my parents received positive news from a lawyer who works for 'Hiring Protection' (?) - I hope you know what I mean..(Mieterschutzbund in German).
He ensured them that our landlords are to give us the money back for all the works we've got done in the house since we've moved in, which cost us about 4000€. That is one thing...But he also said to them that we could charge our landlords for the hours we worked at those things with a price of 15€ per hour.
We worked about a month on all those things and spent about ten hours a day....I can't even imagine how much money that would be...
Well, all in all, nothing is sure yet and I hope our landlords will get a nice kick in the ass for having us moving out after 1 1/2 years...It would give me some gratification to make them pay for their behaviour towards me and my parents.

Footbag highlights in the summarized post further up on this page.

Hopefully I can summon the money for Berlin...Would be a shame not to go to Worlds in my homecountry....We'll see.

so long, simon

So, my holidays are almost over.

I've decided to write a short report of my footbag related experiences across February/March.
All in all, I've gained MUCH more security in basics due to my pretty wide drilling parts in my sessions. I will stick to that program and I hope I can manage to keep it up while studying.
Apart from that I concentrated on several concepts: Ducking, Whirls, Pixies and less Atomic and Stepping.

Ducking:
- feels good in general
- can hit D. Cl. from Osis bs
- still got setting problems on flipside from normal position
- highlights: ducking clipper x5; ducking clipper>ripwalk bs; Ducking BF b2b

Whirls:
- feels really good
- ss works almost every time
- fs still needs work concerning dex and delay.
- highlights: whirl bsos several times; 8 consecutive whirls ss; whirl>near mirage bsos

Pixies:
- ss surprisingly good, fs desastrous
- having major problems with the timing and the set in general on fs.
- managed to get some bs/bsos stuff nonetheless. needs simply more practice
- highlights: smear bsos; magellan, dimwalk, plo bs; smear>dimwalk

Atomic:
- ss good, but was good before, fs similar to pixie, same problem: set and timing kinda bad, but additionally i really have to get accustomed to the motion
highlights: tap>atomsmasher; tap>datw; atomic pickup and ss osis

Stepping:
- i did one stepping session and had such hard pains in my shin..i let it down
- i started with it again yesterday....
- i basically had no flipside stepping till yesterday, all stuff that has been hit was luck are hardly watchable due to bad form.
- the motion came to without any training....
- i no can do it on both sides with a meager success rate, but it's coming...and: i didn't drill it.
highlights: blur and sidewalk bsos; ripwalk b2b several times, duck clip>ripwalk bs

All in all I am very happy with my progress and the latest improvements are really giving me hope that I will make a decent footbag player in the end of the year/spring of next year.
I still have some great challenge before me....get the flipside working. I really train it a lot and I'm confident it will pay off in the end.

Furthermore, I recognised what doing drugs did to me all the time. It prevented me from getting better in a shorter period of time.
I smoked weed the whole February and've quit in March (reasons are stated in former posts). My progress in footbag skills is undescribably higher in March. Learned DATW, got paradon, got good ss pixie, got whirls, got fs stepping, got lot more consistency in basics....It just feels soooo good to know that the longer I'm staying away from drugs, the more skill in footbag I will earn - at least that is what I'm feeling right now. I'm convinced I'm doing the right thing. footbag rules.

so long, simon
