I had this crazy dream last night where everyone in footbag hated me, especially everyone on Modified. And I kept trying to find out what I did that pissed everybody off, so I could apologize for it. But I never figured it out. I didn't even remember the dream until I logged on to Modified this morning.

Clearly footbag is not supposed to be stressing me out this much.

Tomorrow I'm hanging out with some friends so if I do play it'll only be a quickie with whatever spare time to kill that I can find. I don't plan on being able to meet up with anyone. Not kicking tonight either.

I've been really stressed out lately, trying to think of a nice way to phrase some things. But I guess I should just get some shit off my chest, so I'll be direct. Here's what I think:

We need to try to have one regular session a week that is inclusive for any kicker at any level, with a regular location and time.

When we plan sessions, we should always have a time and a location with certain basics - good surface, lighting, and knowing that we can use whatever spot we're planning on.

People need to let me know if they can or can not make it out more promptly.

Either come out or don't come out. But don't gimme no jibber jabber about wanting to come out and then never coming out.

I understand that sometimes things come up at the last second, that footbag isn't everybody's top priority, and that everybody has other things going on.

When you call my cell phone, if I can't answer, please leave a message.

That's all. I'm not trying to lecture or be "in charge" or anything. I'm not trying to start a big thing. None of this is personal, or directed at any one person, its just an overview of the frustrating patterns I've observed. If anybody wants to talk to me more about this, let's do it over PM please.

I saw this dudes break dancing @ critical mass yesterday. I knew one of them thru a friend, and we started kicking a footbag, then 6 people joined. We should really go there every month when whenever we're free. Anyways, one guy was doing clippers and mirage. His name is Tom/Tommy and he emailed me already that he wants to play. Yay freestyle.

Oh and critical mass is SO fun.

So you guys finna kick @ welles today? I'm randomly and suddenly sick since late last night (headache, congestion, sore throat), so I prolly won't be making it out in one hour.

Word. Next time for sure. Wish I could've made it this time.

Pizza tour review - Pizzeria Uno:

Four out of five stars. Crispy crust and flavorful sauce, the sauce was a little overpowering of the cheese and spinach but soooo fine w/parmesan sprinkled on top. Good atmosphere and service - the anti-Paisano's. Only complaint was the tiny little tables.
