Good morning.

Yesterday was a really fun shred. When I got home from work, Hitomi was there, and she had just made some curry and rice for us to eat :D It was delicious, even though I ate it at school for lunch as well. Come to think of it, I ate it this morning too...
Needless to say I didn't go shredding until after I ate. I was fairly worn out from the previous night of not really sleeping, plus it was Monday, so I didnt have any high expectations for the sesh. I warmed up fairly fast and began to drill. I drilled a lot of ss butter consecutives, which was fun. I also drilled (or tried to) spinning and gyro sets. I also drilled clippers and pixie sets. Near the end of my sesh, I drilled stepping. I noticed yesterday that I can get my strong side stepping set well over my head for stepping ducking. That feels nice. I will do more of this today. It is like 20 C hear (I think that is about 70 F :D )

Oh yeah, Hitomi also vacuumed my place, and bought me bananas :wink:

Oh yeah, I also drilled mirages

Did I tell you that it was ok to make JOKES in MY blog? :evil:
Anyway, I already knew that you were good at drilling screws in your foot :wink:

Yesterday I hit:

spinning osis x 2
gyro mirage (bsos)
record for osis > osis, but I wasnt counting so I dont know the number. :oops:

Yes, I still do shred, but I like doing drills as well. I tend to shred more when there are more people. When I play alone, I usually drill. Maybe...

I only played for about an hour and a half yesterday. I was kind of tired and I started a little later than usual. I really focused on spins, and they are starting to become easier to execute. I also did a lot of dynos. I think I managed

dyno > far dyno > ... (rpt)

but I might have dropped on the last far dyno.

I really want to play today, but I think I will take a break.

I am also considering going to worlds! Takumi is going, so I could go with him, plus I would love to see Germany. The problem is, from Japan, tickets are really expensive...

Good morning.



Two days ago I took a break from shredding and hung out with Hitomi :wink: We went to Kansai University to see Zero's dance event. We got there kind of late, well really late actually, and only caught the last group. I did get to see a bunch of people I havent seen in a while, and so did Hitomi, so that was good.

Yesterday I went down to Ocat to meet up with Assa and Charhan. We played from about 7 to 10. I had a lot of fun shredding. I am going down there again today, but only because I have to buy a book.

Yesterday I hit:

lots of spins bsos
lots of drifter work
far osis (bsos)
worked on flip quantum
nuclear stuff
paradox tapping mirage
(footed) nuclear dyno (bsos)
stepping same osis > stepping same osis
gyro osis (bsos)
footed void 1st try, but I dont think I tried it after that... :cry:


Three days ago I forgot to post this:
gyro osis > spinning clipper (bsos)

If any one reads this, and knows a good company to buy video cameras from, let me know please :D

Love,
me

Another Monday...

This weekend was full of shred.
Ive been meaning to take a day or two off, but I keep finding myself shredding :roll:
Friday I shredded with Debi and Assa. I think Kenzou came later. I like working bsos...

Somewhere between Friday and yesterday, I hit:

Dyno x 9
Infinity x 103
pixiw clip > p. drifter > p. mirage (rpt)
spinning p. illusion (bsos)
paradox tap (bsos)
weaving osis> weaving osis> diving osis> diving osis (I think i might have dropped the last osis though...cant remember)

Saturday night I hung out with Debi. We went to this taco bar that I went to one other time. The waitresses are cool and there was this girl there, and if you looked up 'perfect booty' in the dictionary, then compared the picture next to the definition with this girl's ass, there would be NO difference. We hung out with her most of the night, and I have a feeling I will see her again :wink:
We got back to Debi's place pretty late and watched a bunch of shred until really late, then slept.

The only tip I can give you is to keep trying, that is, unless you come to Japan. Then I can show you! :wink:

I didnt shred yesterday. My legs needed a break. I have to go teach a lesson right now, so maybe I finish the story about how I went to eat sushi with Hitomi yesterday after I'm done. The sushi goes around the restaraunt on a big conveyer belt. Jesus, I cant spell at all anymore :oops:

Well, I guess I didnt finish that sushi story, but come to think of it, there isnt much more to it :wink:

Yesterday I played for about 2 hours and Hitomi practiced one of her dance routines in the same area.
I think I was tired because it was one of those sessions where I couldnt bust, and I was getting tired really fast. Oh, well. Just one of those days... :cry:
I got real pissed and threw my bag at the wall, then Hitomi got scared. I figured that was about the end of my session.
On a lighter note, I did clean up my strong side spin :D Now all I have to do is clean up my flip.

Yesterday I mostly worked on drifters, DLOs and datw's, terrages, barrages, etc. I had some success, but not much. Maybe today will be better, if i kick.

Also, I watched the video where Caleb hits a tatw, and then I had a dream last night that I was there when he hit it, and I gave him props.
So, PROPS Caleb :!:

oh,
I footed gyro diving osis

I'm not sure when I will be back in the states. I'd like to go back in the summer, but I probably won't be back there until Christmas. Unless you buy me a ticket...

Yesterday I didnt shred, but I DID play Earthbound for SNES. I think it is one of my favorite games. I beat it once about 7 or 6 years ago, and it was awesome. I'm getting close to the end again, and it is still good.

YEEEESSSSSS. Two of my friends have become huge SNES gamers this semester. I know, in addition to Earthbound, they've said that Secret of Mana I and II and Romancing Saga III are definite greats. On top of that, Romancing Saga III is in japanese (unless you get this patch), so you'd probably like it more than usual.

HI!


In that last post, I said I would tell you what I hit yesterday, but as it turns out, I not only forgot what I hit that day, but what day that was, thus making it impossible to tell you or anyone what was hit.

HOWEVER,
Two days ago (Saturday) and Yesterday (figure it out), I played with my bag. Saturday was with Kenzo. It was a really fun session. We both played pretty hard, I feel.

I hit:

Lots of 4 adds
Lots of torque
torque > p torque
phoenix bsos
pixie paradon bsos
long runs (according to Kenzo)

SUNDAY,
Hitomi had a dance performance in a place called American Village, in Osaka. It was fun. Debi came along with me. After her performance, we all met outside and ate Takoyaki (little balls of octopus and deliciousness).
As Hitomi was coming on stage, before the music began, I yelled out her name. She suddenly stopped and started laughing. :D I thought that was funny. She told me afterwards that she thought that I was going to call out her name midway through the performance... That'll teach 'er... :roll:

After all of that, we went to OCAT (all three of us) and Debi and I shredded. I was pretty tired, so I didnt hit too much, but ...

osis > 49 (PR)
worked on spinning some more and a little on swirls. The next tricks I will learn will be swirls and blenders, and then barrages. Maybe not in that order though.

It is supposed to be 27C in Kyoto. That is really hot. However, today I rest and hang out with Hitomi.

I really am thinking about going to worlds. I probably will end up going, if YOU are going to be there, that is :wink:
