Dan: Cool! Sounds like people are interested in this type of thing... Cool. Cool...
Haha, job. I've been keeping an eye out for a job, but there's not many choices in this small college town, that are easy to get to. There have been jobs that I'm interested in, but I would have to take the bus, and the bus isn't that reliable, and don't run too often (some run every 70 minutes, and there are even some that run 4 times a day).
And thanks!
*hand touch* Bzzt!

This is a song I like. It sometimes helps me get through hard times because I feel like I could kind of relate to it. (Also, I will be putting more AJJ onto my blog. They speak truths.)
Anywho, something else to talk about - yoga! Some people have recommended yoga, and it seems pretty cool. Ben took a yoga class this summer and has guided me through some stretches/poses. I've also heard that it could help with flexibility and stuff. I would like to get into yoga and perhaps that would help me with footbag, particularly with doof, which would be awesome. Then Doof>Zulu Doof would be closer to my reach perhaps.
And pets! I would like a pet, but I don't think I'm really ready for that kind of commitment. But that's mostly because I don't think I can take care of a big animal (like cats, dogs, and micropigs). I've never really taken care of anything, besides taking care of frogs for two weeks during winter break for my friend, which wasn't that bad. My thoughts on bigger animals is that I don't have enough money to care for them right now, and I also am not sure how to handle the whole transporting them if/when I move back to San Diego after I graduate. In the meantime, I wouldn't mind taking care of smaller animals, like rats, axolotls, and the like, especially after seeing Kat's rats at shredhaus.
They're adorable.
Although I cannot get cats or dogs right now, here is one that I would've liked:
I like animals. Another thing, ferrets! They're illegal in California.
Plus, Ben says they smell and doesn't seem to like them. (Whatever to him!). I'm not sure about foxes in California, but they also seem like cool pets/animals. It would also be cool to hold a sloth. I wonder how Lon Smith did it... And I'm not sure how I feel about chinchillas.. I haven't seen one in real life. They seem nice though. Big enough that I won't hurt it (compared to small animals. I'm afraid I would step on them). Another cool pet to have would be a chameleon. I went with my sister to a Reddit Global Meetup in San Diego and this guy who had a chameleon told us that it was pretty easy to take care of them and house-train them. My sister even got to hold it.
As for footbag-related things, something I recently thought of is that it would be cool to get pictures with footbaggers. Group photo, individual photo, etc. Photo with footbaggers.
It'd be cool to keep track of events and people I've met, as well as make a memory of it.
So long as it's not necessarily forced though. Forced pictures are kind of the worst :c
Another thing, I'm planning an online competition (not in the near future, but some time eventually) based on riddles. Like, I give a riddle for the first post on the competition, and leave my email address. Hidden in the riddle(s) is a link that people are supposed to film themselves hitting, and submit it to my email. I would personally reply back on whether or not the submission was correct. If it is correct, they get another riddle(s) with a perhaps either tougher to solve riddle, or a tougher link, and they go on to the next level. If it is incorrect, they will receive a reply saying that it was not the right link, and to try again (if they so please). This would go on for a set amount of riddles, and the video would consist of all clips submitted (whether right or wrong) and the dwindling numbers of correct submissions until the winner. It wouldn't be a time-based deadline online competition, but rather a race to the finish.
~Just an idea~
And! East Coasts! I am excited. It sounds like a lot of people are going to be able to make it!
It also supports my thoughts of "right time, right place" events. Sometimes, it's just a matter of whether people can make it based on time, place, money, etc. rather than a nobody-wants-to-go situation. PSU Jamps this year had a lot of people go! Which is awesome. USO this year didn't have as many people go, but that's not a negative thing. I would've liked to go, but it just didn't work out. Perhaps next year or the year after that. East Coasts sounds like it's jumpin' because there's also a lot of people who are likely to go.
Sometimes, it's just more convenient and does not mean that footbag is dying or has anything inherently wrong with it.
People have their own businesses and lives that sometimes just gets in the way, as a priority. Life goes on, footbag goes on.
All in all, I'm excited for East Coasts!
Also, I'm not sure if anyone noticed, but I sometimes edit my posts and put in pictures/videos/etc. because it fits and perhaps I had planned to put the picture there before but didn't have it at the time. *surprise!* (now they're like easter eggs?)
Z = Zulu!
