Watched some more house, hung out with Sam. Went to play pool for awhile and then went back to Sam’s house and watched “The 41 Year Old Virgin who Knocked Up Sarah Marshall and Felt Superbad About It”. It sucked. Not a good movie, not much of it was funny. Though the Grand Theft Auto joke was alright.

I finished writing the intermediate tutorials for DTIyoyo.com. Soon enough I’ll be taking the illustrative pictures and videos for the tricks. Went to yo-yo club and only had a few kids there today so we threw a few tricks and then played some pool. After I got home I watch the 2010 World Yo-Yo Contest video stream, the 1A freestyles were on. T’was sick. Jensen Kimmitt killed it as far as I’m concerned. There were a few other notable players but I’m having trouble remembering their names.

Something that threw me off while watching the stream was all of the kids bitching about how they hoped that Jensen would choke and mess up his performance. I don’t get it. Someone has a bit of success and everyone hates them. To be honest it annoys the hell out of me but I’m not sure what or if I could do anything about it. People will hate for whatever reason. Just wish the community wasn’t coming back to this mentality again.

Besides the BassBoost video I released this is probably one of my most watched yo-yoing clips. As it stands this video has over 1834 views on Vimeo and 932 views on YouTube. Just thought I’d share it one more time, enjoy :)

I gotta say, I love that show, when I grow up I want to be House. Just without the medical degree. Or colleagues. Anyways, we’re going back to watching House for awhile then I’m taking Cody home. Tomorrow I’ve got yo-yo club.

I woke up at 5pm (my bad) and went over to Sam’s and ate dinner with his family and their friends. We went over to his grandpa’s and played video games. Ended up having ANOTHER late night, driving up to sagehen to pick up a few stranded friends lol.
