I Like Your Style, Ed Haponik
9/6/11
On a very long drive today (Atlanta to Cleveland) I found myself thinking about my buddy Ed, and how he’s just a classy guy who has a great style…to his play, his way of speaking, his approach to life…all of it. He’s just a classy dude, and I like his style.
So I made a quick little trick that’s exactly in his style…simple, smooth, and enjoyable.
Song is “Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh” by Say Hi.

You can have a loop and drop it, and try to catch it. Or, if you’re a sadist like me, you can have a loop on the string with a reverse spin and actually toss it UP, and try and catch it….
This is a really great example of how I can take a trick I already know how to do and make it harder for myself without making it any more appealing to anyone.
I spent two hours today working on this trick, then I realized it looked almost exactly the same as an easier way of doing the trick.
Then I worked on it for another half an hour.
What the hell is wrong with me?

Two things:
1. My son started the 1st grade today. Never have the glory days of my youth looked so very far behind me. It’s a whole new kind of joy, though, to see him just getting started. I’m loving every minute of it, even if it does make my grey hairs seem just a bit greyer.
2. If you turn on any recording device, my children will immediately demand your attention. Unless, of course, you’re actually trying to record THEM…in which case they will either stare at their feet in silence or leave the room.
Song is “6,000,000 Dead Punks Can’t Be Wrong” by Jacob Borshard.

I spent a good chunk of today trying to figure out new ways to get in to old tricks. I really love the mount for this, and it leaves you with a nifty crossed segment version of Seasick and Boingy. Fun!
