The comments on the article make a better argument than the article itself, though.

Didn't read the comments. I like to pretend I'm sometimes an optimist. Or maybe I'm just lazy.

I can't quite beat my 223 inside stall record yet. I'm getting close. I've been working a lot on insides and clippers because right now they're the things I need to work on. I've got bad clipper form, and worse ankle flexibility. Flip torque is becoming easier, but still hard. I've only been playing a half hour-45 minutes on account of my knee still clicking every now and then, but I'm getting back up to par or whatever.

223. I have a hard time doing twenty insides. Start doing miraging insides.

Wraps are good. They won't increase your ankle flexibility much but they'll strengthen the relevant muscles so you can get the most out of the flexibility you have.

I can't fix my clipper form. I'm constantly hitting the side of my support leg when I do them back and forth. Other clipper tricks like butterfly and drifter aren't suffering because of this, just clipper. I've been trying for the longest time not to do it, but it keeps happening and no matter how far I try to push back the stalling leg, it still comes forward.

I have the same problem. Just keep at it. Maybe try turning away form the bag a bit more.

I started reading the Bible today, and hope to finish it in a reasonable time. I've read 10 pages so far. I'm finding it difficult to read and comprehend how people can believe in stuff like Genesis. I'm sure the New Testament stuff will be good, but right now it's a little absurd. I feel like its something that everyone, believer or not, should read, so I'm just going to have to pull through. I really want to get to Revelations as soon as possible though. That seems like the most exciting part.

We read genesis in high school (not catholic/private) as part of my humanities class (not religion class) among other things in there. I think that I'd like an illustrated guide or modern translation (interpretation) if I ever read more of the bible.
