burn

played pickup today after work. it was a lotta fun :) my back was kinda hurting when we started but i guess i got a lotta endorphines pumpin' 'cause while i was playing it felt great. of course, afterwards, it's clenching up again, i'm gonna ice it in a bit. since before the loco moco tournament, i've developed as 'that guy who chases EVERYTHING' in the pickup clan. it's true though, i chase anything i'm close to. today was no different as i caught all kinds of weird passes that went askew. i followed one into-the-wind hammer through two helix's only to let this newbie try and catch it who dropped it. *shrugs*. i'm not spectacular at reading a disc sprinting towards the end zone...i mean...i'm good at knowing where it's going to GO, but the whole jumping over a man to get it i'm still learning. this does mean, however, that absolute swill that nobody is around is all MINE 'cause nobody else seems to be able to follow it. i am getting much better at jumping though. i've gotten compliments on those...when i don't trip or slip or whatnot. i fouled one guy pretty bad today when i had perfect position to making a leaping around the arms D, but slipped right before taking off and elbowed him in the head instead...oops. i called the foul on myself and he was cool about it (they're all cool guys). also had a lot of fun working some sweet flow.

flow is definitely my favorite game. i hate letting the disc stop. i wanna just get it and put it somewhere and make the defense continue to adjust to the changing disc placement....'cause really. when you're on d you get between the man and the disc...but what if the disc moves? then you have to move. what if it moves twice? then you have to think faster, move faster, or get fucked. i like to get the d fucked. (sorry blinn/dave) i get really bummed when the offense turns to the hucking game over and over resulting in lots of punts and a few points. sure, it works sometimes. but games are also practice...and hucks are only practice for two people. flow on the other hand is like teaching the bum how to fish instead of giving him a single fish for dinner.

just talked to mah man thomas who flew in from LMU last night :) we're goin' surfing at diamond head tomorrow after work. this'll actually be the first time i'll be surfing with a partner.....huh.....he gets to see how much i suck!!! (he's a longboarder)
