Haha, awesome Nathan. Really good first picture to start.

I played footbag twice this week. The first one was the worst session I have ever had. And the second one was worse than the first.

I just felt really off on everything, Ive also had a lot of stress this week and I couldn't seem to get past it and just got frustrated too easily. I didn't hit anything that I would call a highlight.

My knee's have also been hurting after I play. I think its because my Laver's are so worn down in the toe that my insole is not rubbing on the ground and getting all scrapped up.

I tried playing in my quantums, but FUCK THOSE SHOES! So I bought knew Laver's hopefully it will help my knees and my game. Most people say that they hate new shoes and can't play in them, Myself on the contrary play very well in new shoes. I guess I'm really strange, some of you already knew that I'm sure. I mean I called myself "fetusmaster" for a while, What The Fuck.

In kinda footbag related news, I had a dream that I was putting my boat in the water at some shady ass dock, and who was there but CIC (well Tom, Reile, Nathan, Zeke, Kamil, and JAMES RISDEN) So I finally met James, too bad it was just a dream :(

Chemical mayday is like the payday. Double dutch don't you even think about touch... Flag ball. The world has not answered the telephone. Go now go hone on your misguided future. you are a sublime creature. Rifting, rafting, riveting crickets, crackle, crank and Jimmy. Blowing got you down. First feet up and then turn around. Drop dead gorgeous on the stairs, catch the band then her hair. Like the ticks that tip the tricks and wander down all sticky split on forward motion. Crimson blood makes you think, fickle pickles make you wink. Come one come all, begin the merry day and have a ball. My son you are the chosen flan and if you beat your head remember that the greatest bird fed is the dodo.

Nice rhymes reed.

So, I haven't played footbag in almost a month. Probably wont play again for at least another month. My ankle has been hurting a lot latley. It still hasnt healed from wine and cheese, which was in february or march. either way 3 to 4 months ago. And my knee is always hurting me. So I decided to take some time off.

I start school again on the 6th of july, so shortly after that I will have health insurance again so maybe I can get some tests done to see whats wrong with my ankle/knee, and maybe get into some physical therapy.

I have been playing disc golf religously. This weekend there is an Am tournament at a course 20 minutes from my house (Am nationals, the biggest Am event of the year) I missed qualifying for the event by 4 strokes. But I have been working the event, spotting for other players and I'm getting paid a disc an hour.

I feel like my life is really boring right now. I sit at home alone a lot and just watch tv or sit on the computer. Wishing I could play footbag, or at least run to start to get back into shape.

Court on Wednesday, Will finally get sentenced.

My birthday is just over 2 weeks away. Hopefully I wont be in jail and can go do something fun.

Hey Zach, good luck with your court date. I'm sorry to here that you have not been able to play and that your ankle is still bothering you. I'm sure once you get school underway you will start being less bored. Let me know if there is anything I can help with.

Yeah, good luck at your court date.

That's cool about the disc golf thing - the World Championships (or something like that, maybe Nationals) are in Kansas City this year, which is pretty exciting. Disc golf is fun, I don't play enough.

Good luck again.

In these 9 months you cannot leave the state? and what are you doing for community service?

yeah I meant Brian, and no not the footbagger, That would have been sweet.

Yeah, I'm aloud to leave the state now. I just have to be back by Sunday morning, every other Sunday, for 4 months.

I don't know what I'm doing for community service yet. There is a set list of things I can do, And I don't see my probation officer till the 23rd, that's when I get to see the list and pick something to do.

TwoLane, Now that I can leave the state I will be coming to PA, I'm not sure when though. When I do, we should kick it, and maybe kick....it

So I played footbag. 2 weeks short of that another month thing I said a few posts ago.

I played on my birthday with Hollis in Ann Arbor for a nice little bday shred. It was the first time since before last years US open I have played without pain somewhere, nearly a year and I'm almost healed. I hope.

For not playing for nearly 2 months, And for being really rusty the last time I played I thought I did well.

Hizzilights

fog bsos first try
stepping ss whirl > pdx dlo bsos
lots of strings over 10 contacts (good for no endurance and being a fatty)
stepping same egg bs
symp dlo bs
bw bsos
both ps whirls and both whirlygigs in the same string
pdx blender > gyro symp whirl
gyro barrage
dbl pickup > paradon bs
Void on weakside, Lotus on strong
rev swirling toe > symp rev swirling toe
far dbl pickup
whirlwind
mullet first try
alpine atomsmasher
jani flip
footed double spinning swirl
double spinning osis bs
pixie muted rev swirl

I did this trick that I have never seen before. I think its swirling muted gyro toe. The setting foot is the same as the delay foot. Once I did it a few times I did
swirling gyro toe > ss blender
swirling gyro toe > op symp rev swirling toe.

Was a good sesh. Really looking forward to Bday Jam now that I think I will be able to play decent.

So I went to the CIC bday jam. Didnt play too well while I was there, but I played without pain, besides being sore from playing more than I have the last few months.

Since I got back I have played at least twice a week. I got my hands on a video camera so I hope to be making some short highlight videos soon.

played last night for about an hour, but I was feeling sick most of the session and didnt play too well. My flip double downs are coming along nicely

the only real highlight from last night was
pdx whirl > schmoe > paradon > pdx whirl > pdx whirl > schmoe > paradon

Hope to play this weekend when im not feeling sick.

Had a shorter session today, about an hour. Mostly just worked on some drills and downtime stuff.

dimwalk > pdx dlo > rpt
Pixie whirl > pdx dlo > rpt
pdx dlo > paradon bs

I dont remember anything else that was really that good. I filmed it all so maybe I will watch it and then repost

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LAlMX8406XM[/youtube]
this was the second or third time I have done this trick

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cXm_DHWZfZo[/youtube]
a drill I worked on a lot this last session

I don't have a way to edit the videos yet, so there is some nonsense in these two videos.
