Considering life through a collection of spinning toys. Monday, December 31, 2012. I'm just inside of 3 hours left. the last 3 hours of a year spent throwing one yo-yo. it's really, REALLY not a big deal, and i have to say i'm ashamed of playing like it is on instagram and facebook and whatever. And now it looks like this:. In truth, as my time on 365yoyotricks.com. I hit some good tricks. Http:/ www.wowzat.tv. February 22, 2013 at 6:41 AM. June 3, 2013 at 4:03 AM. Where are the posts!

Considering life through a collection of spinning toys. Wednesday, December 3, 2008. Yo-yo #1: no jive. Well i guess i lied about there not being an order. this is undeniably my favorite yo-yo ever. I could seriously write a book about this yo-yo. i will grant you that it would not be a very good book. Here's a haiku i wrote (i suck at haiku):. Life unwinds and spins. Then is pulled back to the hand. Yeah damn. what in god's name am i going to choose tomorrow? December 15, 2008 at 9:52 AM. Subscribe to: ...

Considering life through a collection of spinning toys. Monday, April 28, 2014. Play Simply No Jive. I'll grant you it's really a totally arbitrary milestone AND several of these posts have embedded two or even three yo-yo's at a time, but whatever. clearly, i'll accept any opportunity to feel psyched up about myself. Actually though, this IS a significant one for me. i began this blog. Me you know what else has a little vibe? Thanks again for reading any of these blog entries over the last few years, an...

Considering life through a collection of spinning toys. Monday, October 29, 2012. Yo-yo's i can't wait to play. So, as the end of the year begins to loom, and the reality of being able to enter the yo-yo room without being assailed by temptation sets in, i thought i'd look around and see what yo-yo's i'll be itching to play come january. It's pretty painful having brought this trio to yo-yo club for the last few months and having watched the kids throw them. all i get is great feedback on them, which...

Considering life through a collection of spinning toys. Tuesday, August 27, 2013. Yo-yo #95 james's pocket rocket. We told them on december 23, having placed little baby-bottles and rattles and stuff into a blank stocking hanging from the mantle. we let them find it, let them take it down and draw their own conclusions. it was adorable. i got the whole thing on tape. i cannot watch it. There have been moments of doubt, but i think we made the best choice we could have. Or "ding up your yo-yo's, weenie!

Considering life through a collection of spinning toys. Saturday, September 14, 2013. Many of the most generous people i've had the pleasure to meet have been yo-yo players. it's pretty remarkable and, i think, one of the aspects of this hobby which has kept me hanging on for all these years. the tricks are rad and the toys are (often) shiny, but the people are the best. my friend (and now, teammate - whoa! Jacob jensen gave me this yo-yo as a gift. My white motu developed its initial cracks around 2007,...

Considering life through a collection of spinning toys. Tuesday, December 18, 2012. So it’s the end. Pretty much. I’ve got, what, a couple of weeks left? 8220;Not with a bang, but a whimper”, as Eliot said. I truly can’t express enough gratitude to accommodate what this whole experience (and this whole year) have meant to me. Just play my metal yo-yo’s, ok,”. Instead, he made me a truly legendary wooden yo-yo, and supported me full-on. Have you done this? To the other Light Sleeper Society guys who got o...

Considering life through a collection of spinning toys. Saturday, January 18, 2014. Yo-yo #97: silver minute. It's hard to believe that 365 days ago i was still just shaking the rust off after spending my year with the 'eh'. actually i'm still kind of doing that. fortunately, the rust kind of suits me. You know the guy who yells "f- k! If he gets a snag? The guy who doesn't talk to anyone at contests and gives his fellow competitors the stinkeye? Dial in your equipment. Throw at least 4 times a week.

Considering life through a collection of spinning toys. Tuesday, September 4, 2012. Why i play yo-yo. I said i wanted to get back to basics. And by the same amazing grace, you bust down the door into new creative territory which had never occurred to you. It's available - it's there all the time. and realizing that makes yo-yoing much more personal, much more meditative, and ultimately way more productive. Terra cotta 2013. let's do it, steve.) ;).

Considering life through a collection of spinning toys. Monday, January 27, 2014. Yo-yo #99: anti-yo fluchs. If you could reach deep into your brain, among all of the thousands of words you've collected during your life as a verbal, literate (i'm assuming here) human being, which one word would you most WISH described your playing. These days, it's expected for your yo-yo to be the smoothest thing out there, and if you nail it against the cobbled sidewalk, eliciting some untunable vibration. it might...
