just had the weirdest dream. for some reason I killed one of my old teachers (I don't know why, it was a teacher that I liked) and no one figured out that it was me because my prints aren't on record. But I was walking outside and this futuristic car pulled up and out comes Robocop. He used some of his imaging skills and figured out that it was me. He then preceeded to shoot me with a huge five foot by two foot laser gattling gun and I woke up as I was getting blown away. Just thought I'd share that.

I'm going to Seattle for ten days in a couple of hours. WOOO!!!!!

peace

That's weird, dude. Sorry that I jetted last night after we talked and were going to chill, but at that point I was a bit too hwasted and I had to work at 8 today. I think you handled the situation with that one ass munch pretty good, it's what I probably would have done....well, maybe I'd've tossed it at his legs real fast and said 'OH, YOU CAN'T PLAY!' Man, I'm really pissed. I figured my mom put money in my account today and had to make a withdrawl from my checking account and the idiots at the Wells Fargo in Havre didn't put the money in until like 3 today, so I got an overdraft charge of 30, so added to the 60 that I withdrew, I only got 60 fucking bucks out of it. I'm so pissed at the Wells Fargo in Havre. Those asswipes always take forever to do shit and they don't give a rat's ass if someone needs the money. Fartknockers.

Sealed Mobius for the first time!!! (Butterfly)
This is huge because Mobius is the move that made me want to get good at footbag. (Eric Wulf on footbag.org)

so i'm in seattle right now and I kicked with justin dale and sam potter yesterday for about three hours. my knee hurt right off the bat and so i was pissy but it started feeling a lot better after ass tons of bops. Sam has awesome style! every move he tried looked very natural. Justin dale was looking good coming back from his surgery. Overall it was just a super fun session and justin went through a step by step to teach me how to spin. got spinning clipper both sides. was stoked about that. haven't been able to spin since one day when i could suddenly do it and got bs merkon, and a spinning whirl. got lots of complements on my torques and did tons of them. my strong double overs felt really good. played a consecutives game. conclusion: Uber fun

Sam has awesome style!

Thank you!

I was considering not attending ShrEdmonton due to financial issues/my friend coming to Missoula that weekend, but it's becoming more and more of a go....I'm getting SO stoked!

had a 1.5 hour solo session by my sister's house up here in seattle. started with a bop warmup in the 40 contact range. it was probably my longest bop run to date. then drilled my ducks for almost an hour. got diving butter bs for the first time and kept trying ducking butter>diving butter>rpt but couldn't do it. i got every combination possible with two and three contacts but couldn't do it with all four. I must have tried over fifty times

the majority of the session was just trying this drill over and over and over again. drilled ducking clip> div clip over and over and ducking osis>osis>rpt over and over. hit diving dod for the first time. and drilled ducking clip>rpt. spent about 15 minutes on my flip pixie and was very happy with todays results for that. drilled illusions for 5 and was stoked. i'm usually happy if i get bsos illusion but today i had one run with bsos illusion, bsos pdx illusion, and bsos blizzard

hit phoenix bs (i've always had trouble with flip phoenix) and hit pdx torque bs. footed diving torque and ducking pdx torque. one run with six ducking pdx mirages. overall: great drill day

I don't understand what you're hinting at

I know, it will be drilled constantly from here on. Your super tight spins and Justin's spinning consistency have inspired me.

Turns out we're leaving Saturday morning

I have sooo much fun kicking with you guys too. DAAAAAMMMMMNNNNIIIITTTT!!!!!

kicked again today at the middle school by my sister's house near seattle. when i walked up, two kids were playing kicky sack and I asked if I could join in. we kicked and got lots of hacks and every once in awhile I did some clippers or an atw or mirage and passed it and they were impressed. we kicked for about forty minutes and mostly played kicky sack. I progressed to doing torques every once in awhile or ducking clippers and some osises but had a good time playing kicky sack. they were curious about my emmings bag and asked about footbags. i showed them some of daryl's bags and they proceeded to ask how i got good at footbag. I told them that it started with doing outsides, insides, and toe kicks and then the same with stalls with BOTH LEGS. and they were tryng toe stalls and back stalls. their mom came and I told them about footbag.org and wrote it down on a piece of paper with my e-mail adress and they said that they were gonna go buy some new bags and practice.

drilled spins with not much success. got ZERO spinning clippers and only a few flip gyro clips. then drilled my flip pixies. my strong pixie was the very first set I learned. I could do smear before flip clipper. I've been super slacking on flip pixie. i have done about ten different sets and my flip pixie, the one that I should have down pat sucks. but today was a great flip pixie day. hit every move i wanted out of flip pixie with a couple tries. YAY! also drilled ducks a bit again.

===============================================

in non footbag related news: my sister gave me her car

It's a manual and i've only driven stick once before and i'll tell ya, relearning stick in seattle SUCKS!!! the drivers are obnoxious. i didn't do bad except for starting on steep hillsides which was kind of a bitch. but hey, it'll improve with time.

kicked yesterday with evan, jere, and later ty. actually brought my camera to a session. started out pretty well. lots of ducks and bops with intertwined 4's. Haven't tried ps whirl in about a month and got the deepest one i've ever had mid-string. almost dexed it with my knee. evan hit stripwalk twice and they were super clean. jere was having an off day but still managed some sick toe shred and almost spinning diving mirage. evan had the best strings i've ever seen him hit. torque>swirl mid-string, not as many drifters as he usually does. he hit ?smoke? for the first time (pixie opp. drifter?). evan and jere left for a folf tourney and I kicked with ty. Ty hit symp. eggbeater clean as hell and we both tried wonton sets both sides. his are super hippy and awesome. mine are leggy and I hate them but whatever. ended the session with both p torques. footed ducking p torque for the bazillionth time along with ducking barfly. god I need to hit those. with how may times i've footed them, I should have hit them over a couple dozen times

Ty is probably my favorite missoulian to kick with.

checked out a laptop from the library today and used their wireless to download footbag vids. Jordens ocho and record, furious tutorial, clavens vid, aaron orton vids, and derek vandall. I'm stoked to watch the derek vandall vid. He is crazy good. will prolly watch these before I hit the hay to watch dawn of the dead. gotta love cheesy horrors

watched some footbag vids before bed and ended up just wanting to kick real bad and so I did. worked on spins for a bit. got spinning butter twice and spinning osis on one side. one spinning butter on the other side. Tons of gyro clippers. Hit gyro whirl with a pretty deep dex. hit hopover swirl on bs. drilled the hell out of my illusions. they were feeling really great. got ps illusion bsos and ducking p illusion bs. footed flux on both sides and footed a ducking flux. worked some links that I never ever do: pdx illusion> paradon> rpt (my flip paradon needs tons of work, only hit it once). drilled duck osis>butter>rpt for about five minutes. finished with a couple times through illusion>pickup>rpt. stretched and went to bed.

uugggghhhhhh, i need to stop drinking.

went to a toga party last night and passed out by 10:30. passed out the night before that at the same house, two nights before that got hoisted off margaritas, got drunk almost every night I was in seattle for that week and a half, got drunk the majority of nights before that. showed up to work after drinking a few days ago and burped in the elevator right next to my supervisor. she said that i smell like alcohol and i responded with "IT"S MOUTHWASH!" need to drink less!

I'm at work right now and struggling with holding down my vomit.

ugggghhhhhh. only 7.5 hours left

Blackend · Post by **Blackend** » 27 Jun 2005 11:36

Dammit, Kevin, stop being such a frickin' lightweight.

Although you did get pretty hwasted at B-Dizzle's. Next time don't pass out on the couch with your nads hanging out of your toga.

Saturday was pretty fun. I can't believe I came close to hitting parkwalk so many times bud didn't! Tapping mirage and pdx mirage were almost, but not quite, there. My shredding overall kinda sucked, but I'm confident next time I hack I'll hit parkwalk. Oh yeah, I think Molly, Kailtlin and Danielle are coming to drink again tonight. So don't be a buttmunch, buttmunch.

kicked a wee bit last night. Listened to a four disc collection of funk songs called Funk Box while kicking

i must say, I LOVE kicking to james brown.

mostly drilled tiltless because i haven't spent a solid while on tiltless in quite a while with exception to warming up. had a couple nice runs in the thirty contact range. i expected longer but oh well.

tried spins for awhile and got a couple spinning toes. couldn't get the clipper

drilled flip whirl. i'vve never really worked the flip whirl before for some stupid reason. got both parts of whirl war on one string but not back to back.

worked fairies for a bit. got flip fairy opp butter for the first time. when working fairy on my strog, it came up and hit me in the chin so i thought: huh, i might be able to duck it and immediately hit fairy ducking opp butter. my first time ducking a fairy let alone hitting an alpine fairy move. it felt extremely smooth and looked smooth too. got that one on film actually so it will be posted probably tomorrow. By the look on my face you'd think i had just won the lottery.

nonfootbag related:
my friend Caroline came into town today. I had to pick her up from the airport and we chilled all day. I forgot how good she looks

it was cool. went all day yesterday without visiting the coach and feel pretty clearheaded today. i think i'm gonna lessen the amounts of visits to him. seattle was actually the longest break that i had taken in five years.

checked out some james brown cds from the library today. ohhhh yeah

Sporatical_Distractions · Post by **Sporatical_Distractions** » 29 Jun 2005 12:59

yo!

kicked again today. Jere was going mad with bsos pixie. he also had the greatest string that I have ever seen him do including pixie ss whirl midstring. Evan had some great genuine strings (which he does pretty regularly now). sam is drilling his pixie and footed parkwalk. ben is turning into a knee pinch master w/ atomic opp. pinch and datw out of pinches.

personal hilights:

a couple solid alpha toe shooting sets

lots of fairy ducking. (it now feels smoother than pixie ducking)

the lengthiest runs i've had to date

lots of bsos toe and clipper torques

lots of strong barflys (my weak sucks, must drill)

clean dexes on scorpions tail three times

getting close to pdx torquescrew

Sporatical_Distractions · Post by **Sporatical_Distractions** » 29 Jun 2005 13:25

ahhhhhhhhhh!!!

just noticed that my left big toe is almost all the way through the fabric in the toe box of my g units! i haven't even had them that long

any advice from anyone?

all i can think of is putting mole skin on the underside of the toe box in that area
