Evan Gatesman
I'm currently playing footbag. It is difficult to imagine another sport like footbag being instilled in me like this sport. I've quit playing several times, but I always seem to get back into it. I feel that I don't have too many close friends in this sport, but they are definitely a factor in why I still play. I'm actually pretty good at this sport contrary to what I often tell myself which is another reason I play. I actually consider myself one of the top players in the world, and whether that means top fifty or top hundred or whatever, being one of the elite in this sport makes me feel like I'm important in this world.
wow. too deep. anyway...
I suck right now. I'll be better in a couple days. still getting over this spring break fatigue. People highly overestimate me. I'm much less consistent than I appear.

Re: Evan Gatesman
I'm no expert but that's how I always looked at it. You are definitely one of "elite" if that's how you want to put it. An intelligent guy as well. The one thing I dislike about you is that you say the stuff you hit sucks or wasn't that great even though that's clearly not the case. I've seen you hit huge moves and some solid links and you will just shrug, pass and basically ignore my props. Only a douche like me can pull that shit.Lycanthrope wrote:I'm actually pretty good at this sport contrary to what I often tell myself which is another reason I play.

I hope you keep playing forever man.

dude, gatesman.
not only are you one of the "elite" (I would personally say more like top 20), in my opinion your style rocks the socks off of HELLLA other players. Such a huge trick selection and your ripstiens are only second to vaseks for me (they look like slow motion or something!)
btw, how'd that 5 dollar bag i sold you hold up?

Even it's cool to hear you recognizing your footbag prowess. Regardless of what you tell yourself you're still one of the best players out there. Hoping to see you update this sucka' in the future.
Had fun hanging out with you at NYJ, I appreciate you putting up with my youngness.
Hope we can play again soon.

Re: Evan Gatesman
I think you are more consistent than you appear to yourself because you always count your contacts. FACT: most people don't count contacts. I used to count contacts and after a while I stopped because it was just too depressing (also I would get brainfarts from trying to concentrate on counting and complex combos at the same time).Lycanthrope wrote: People highly overestimate me.

Your next task: Go to the bathroom.
Wash your face.
Put your shoulders hunched upwards.
Look really, really slowly upwards towards the mirror like in the movies
And slap yourself in the face.
With your game face on.
And go shred with jim.
It'll work, trust me.
