so i've been...

hanging around on flickr recently, and i've noticed that i have let a hobby of mine to go the waist side (is that the correct term/phrase?)...anyway; i haven't been doing one of my hobbies recently.  and because of my playing around on flickr...i'm going to get back into it.

the yo-yo.

the world's greatest toy, next to the ball.

about a year and a half ago, i really got into it.  picking up yo-yo after yo-yo.  and my collection is quite extensive, at least for the amount of time i don't spend playing.  butterfly, spinning, one's with counter-weights, trying yo-yo's that were not attached to the string (yeah, watch out cat's); just all sorts of different things.

i would sit down and try to learn a trick a  week.  and i was having a good time with it.  and when i get into a hobby i get into a hobby.  understanding string (different styles of string will allow you to do different things), bearings, weight of the yo, thickness, size.

so here i am, stating publicly (or at least to those who read this); i'm going to pick up the yo again, and begin to re-learn what it is i know, and by next week get back to learning a trick a week, or become better at the tricks i already know.  and maybe start taking some pics of the yo, and doing some tricks.
