I ordered a "YoYoFactory Velocity" from eBay for $23. I should get it next week or so. I'm reviving my hobby, I used to play with yoyo's back in primary school doing all the tricks and everything. I used to have battles with Keith and Tim in the "nerd alley"during lunch. It's lame that today's children play on iPhones and stuff instead of toys like yoyo's because they're seriously fun! (Even my year 7 cousins have iPhones and 500 followers on Instagram, I don't even have a phone!). This is also another reason why I'm getting back into yoyoing (is that even a word?), I seem to always have idle moments since starting uni. Waiting for transport, waiting for lectures, having breaks etc. In these idle moments, others would usually be on their laptops or iPhones browsing their Facebook feed or something. I'll be playing with a yoyo once I get it, it's sorta like BMX with learning tricks I guess except more portable and less physical. Did you know that idleness makes people unhappy? I read it in a book. Even though people think they'd rather do nothing, doing something actually makes them happier. E.g. In the book there was an experiment:
Do a test and wait at the same place for 15 minutes to hand it in
or
Do a test and walk to another place that's 15 minutes away to hand it in.
Most of the people chose to wait at the same place (Because people are lazy). They ended up being the unhappier bunch verses the people who walked 15 minutes to another place to hand it in. Keep that in mind, I think it's pretty interesting.
Anyway that crap above the other crap leads onto another random thing. I feel like I'm Peter Pan or some shit. I still ride bicycles and play with yoyo's while most normal people my age are having sex, getting jobs, YOLO partying and going nightclubs and stuff LOL.
