today has been my worst day in a long time. many unfortunate events have stifled my will to play for the day... sorry guys... but, ill explain.
wokeup late. got ditched trying to go to the store. lost an earbud cover to my 40$ headphones going in the store, rendering them useless. forgot to buy important art supplies while at store. work sucked, but thats usual. got a noise complaint for a party we had. argued w/ my girl. had to walk home from school in the rain (i live in a dorm). on the rainy walk home, my porfolio (large bag for art stuff... its art school..) handle broke, throwing all my shit in the mud... could it get any worse? its 930, so hopefully i can make it to bed with all my pieces.

When you get your abshire, tell me how you like it. I heard it takes a while to break in compared to the footfighter.

Thanks for your order and I will send it soon.

Good luck .

It was a wise decision to spend some money for a bag ( or two or three) and lavers instead of kicking too long with wrong equipment.

hi there take a straw and cut one end so that you have a really sharp tip. Now you can stick this end into the bag, in fact there where two hexagons met ( no stiches should be visible there). Then you can easily de- or increase the filler of your bag, without out harming it. Hope this helps

this weekend was a calm, relaxed weekend. didnt do much.. a few small tricks. on friday night, i played at work .
i hit the norm, mirage , legover, pixie, etc..., took saturday off... i havent taken a real rest (no footbag) day for about a week. my legs were overjoyed. they'd been so sore, i couldnt hit my tricks.
now im back in school... my wife is sick today, so ill be tending to her instead of my footbags. and today is my free day too. oh well.... love comes first i guess. ..

brinard · Post by **brinard** » 25 Jan 2006 11:18

alright, so i bled some pellets and shot from my abshire, and now its way better. its more stally, and less rolly. i also have drilled pixie>mirage pretty hard this week. im waitin on my lavers, hopefully theyll improve my game. im playin in moded etnies (suede), so its difficult to hit clippers and stuff. i am almost able to hit my p.mirage whenever i try. so yeah, im sore. too much training, not enough resting. i think ill take a nap today. yeah.... nap....
docbag will be here soon as well. cant wait.!

brinard · Post by **brinard** » 26 Jan 2006 11:10

last night i started hitting illusion. this trick is much harder than i expected, but i hit it. i also tried to work on clipper, and i can tell its gettign better. im gonna work on these two tonight alot... i can already tell... hey, does anybody know how long it takes for a docbag to ship to the us? im too anxious to not know... its like christmas...
im tryin to learn atomic... but have no fucking clue on how... i think im jumping at the wrong time... stumbling around... such

brinard · Post by **brinard** » 27 Jan 2006 18:00

i started doing some nice tiltless strings... i think so atleast. i started doing
pixie>mirage>legover>pixie>illusion>butterfly(sometimes drop)... i was stoked... 5 tricks b2b, no drops... sometimes 6. i dont even have lavers yet...i think thats pretty good. the string was with my footfighter... still working on the abshire... man! my bags were filthy.the white on the abshire was dingey like socks youve worn outside. i shredded so much over this week... my hips are sore..

some good news on my car situation...
the guy is gonna pay me... but in incraments.. hes poor...
ill probably get the money fronted by my mom and wife, so i can buy a car soon... hopefully itll be this yello civic i want...

and my friend who blows glass will be making me a sidecar in two weeks... im tradin the custom sidecar for a facile 32... my first bag... a dirty juice..
color scheme for sidecar is lightblu, blu, grey.in criss cross pattern... like stripes making diamond shapes

i cant wait... i get too much cool stuff too often, but hate waiting for it to arrive.

ill be going home for the weekend, so everybody have a great weekend, and ill blog monday for the weekend.

cya
