1) Get rid of job, travel world spinning staff. 
2) make super tech duo doubles routine.
3) Now that my knee is better, get back to the acrobatics + staff.
4) Now that my knee is better, learn better movement, and how it works with staff. (Post-wiggling proto-dance)
5) Find some outrageous contact moves to learn, that I haven't thought of yet and learn them. (I couldn't have imagined myself doing a head roll steve at this time last year.)
6) Perform better.
7) Go to circus school, or devote 2/3 months entirely to training. (Whichever comes first)
8) Don't let my knee get injured again.
9) Find some more illusions, or visit Simian.
10) Make those two new routines I've been thinking about.
1) started and continuing!
2) started and continuing!
3) Can now cartwheel and bend down without pain. WIN!
4) started and continuing.
5) maybe, the anti-spin (not anti-turn) matrix is quite fun. But lots of things to work on, none really hard enough yet. Club contact might be.
6) Still and always working on that.
7) Silly bastl, might be down to three weeks...
8) Working on it, thanks to various physios.
9) Kinda... simian doesn't have illusions, but he does have kick ass hoop dance moves. Have found some more, but they haven't been mine.
10) Yup, got a deadline for one of them... So it better get made.
11) triple staff and club manipulation. <- new goal.
12) better club juggling. <- new goal.
1) started and continuing!
2) started and continuing!
3) Yup, started and continuing.
4) started and continuing.
5) Club Contact is hard enough, but I have a ton of new things to learn from america... some of them aren't hard, but some of them might be... gotta learn em all...
6) Still working on it...
7) Well Quebec in 2009 looks promising, for a whole year. Plus, training is what you make it, I intend to mak everyday a training day...
8) JT in america gave me some good advice... will be using that too...
9) Maybe... quartertime is where it's at... isolation, is that the only illusion? that and the psi illusion...
10) It got made, I finished two now... one needs more work... and two or three more in the pipeline... I'm totally on top of that tomorrow...
11) Not done much on this, a little with Rob and Sam, but three things? It's so new to me, it's hard to grasp it fully yet.
12) Yeah, been working on the club juggling quite a lot. Tis good fun.
13) Club Contact routine. <- New Goal.
And my DVD is finished now. total Win!
three months progress... not bad... how's everyone else?

alrighty, then...
doubles:
Written by : Pogo69
1) continue to practise
still on track; having a pair of doubles pretty much everywhere I go, helps. two sets in the car, one in the loungeroom against the wall; I even built a pair out of pens and sticky-tape at work; they're no good to spin, but enough to work out shapes.
Written by : Pogo69
2) make everything I do more consistent and sub-conscious
again; still on track. was at a doof recently, where I spun fire a large part of the night away (till the sun came up, actually) and was quite comfortably doing most all that I know fairly seamlessly; all sorts of pretty patterns coming from freely improvised combos of simple anti-spin/isolation moves.
Written by : Pogo69
3) learn more antispin doubles stuff
ye... been playing with more odd shapes... squares, parallel/perpendicular with the ground... L shapes... triangles... the odd pentagon (only brief play with that).
Written by : Pogo69
4) nail reverse flowers and put more work into antispin flowers
yup yup... any direction regular spin flowers are mine... antispin flowers continue to elude me, predominantly because I haven't paid them any attention.
Written by : Pogo69
5) continue exploring and expanding on the simple things, like one beat variations, btb etc
yup yup... btb, entry/exit is mine, also been playing with "huggies" (that's what I know them as in the poi world, even though I can't do them with poi, but dunno if it's named the same in doubles-land) and they're getting smoother, but I kinda suck at entry/exit.
contact:
Written by : Pogo69
6) start practising... anything...
sometimes... when the mood grabs me.
Written by : Pogo69
7) halo 360 smooth and consistent
mine.
Written by : Pogo69
8) steves smooth and consistent
mine; most of the time. half steve, anyway...
Written by : Pogo69
9) fishtails, at all
mine, on the right... most always mine on the left. trying, every now and then to do them with the lil double staffs, so I can start integrating double fishies, but I'm very unsteady there.
taught myself a kickup to fishtail couple weeks ago.
Written by : Pogo69
10) play with staff more in general without hand contact
very rarely.
Written by : Pogo69
11) if I get through the above, try and link a few moves with the wrist weave or similar
again... some... sometimes...
12) **NEW GOAL ** - steal everything off meg's new DVD...

Well it's a little late but anyways...
1) integrate more tech into flow.
2) finish my new practice staff, dry glue dry!
3) matrix variations, oh yes i loves them.
4) cutbacks!!! other baton moves..
5) contact stalls involving fishtails, steves, and matrixes.
6) 3 continuous minimal to overhand steves.
7) clean up head contact and headspin variations.
8) roll around on the ground and act rediculous.
9) make a contact routine where i act like some kind of animal. maybe a cat? hopefully not a t-rex. ;P
10) ten is for 10 continuous matrixes, at least.
11) double and triple staff now and again.
Will I even remember this list?

to follow in the footsteps of those before me. [/color]
to acquire the competency of contact spinning and tossing that I can be burning them by summer
to be good enough that I can buy a collapsible staff for travel and not feel like I will muck it up in 2 days.[/color]
specifics:
-fishtails
-steves
-continuous frontside turning halos
-at least one skill in prayer formation.
-everything else that I forgot to write.
This will now be both possible and fun thanks to somebody's DVD being available now.
Unfortunately this wont be accomplished on time. I've squandered my money on materials to build 2 5ft practice staves, a set of 3.5 ft doubles staff, levistick, hula hoop and my newborn daughter. :
love:
-fishtails: left hand is getting good but the right hand is still lacking a lot. On the plus, I've managed a kick up from either foot into a lefty fishtail. (really need to practice that right hand)
-basic full and half steves: yes, but not all the lovely variations I've seen Sandy and Meg do.
- No, but I've gotten a couple of bruises and blood spilled to show I've been trying. Not sure how I knocked myself in the nose still.
- does it count if its a throw coming out of back rolls?
-I dont remember if I learned anything else or not.
honestly, I love doing it, but I just cant practice like I should. There's someone (or two) else that simply distract me with being their adorable selves.  wife and daughter
--------------------
I'll be in Dublin, Ireland visiting the in-laws from July 9 through July 27. Love to meet any of you mysterious people there.

OGG! (Overall General Goals):
1: Developing some sort of routine with each number of staves from one through six.
2: Start working more acrobatics and swedish folkdancing moves into my staff flow.
3: Start practicing Parkour/Acrobatics + start dancing more (to make the above goal realistic).
Slightly more Specific Goals:
One Staff: Learn to do more tricky contact [censored], mainly Fishtails. And fill in the ridiculous holes in my contact staff book. Keep working on my flow overall, finding more smooth transitions between spin/antispin.
Two Staves: Learn more atomics! Learn/Invent more Hybrids! Start doing contact and juggling seriously. Do more staff-on-staff contact.
Three Staves: Buy staves that don't have Isis wicks i.e. death. More Staff-on-staff/Devilstix stuff and more throws. General improvement of flow and stability. More crazy spinning stuff.
(Maybe someday I'll attempt three staff contact...)
Four staves: Buy four short staves, practice the basics a lot! I suck at four staves.
Five staves: Quite simply Lots and lots of quintuple cross practice.
Six staves: Step A: Buy six tiny little staves, Step B: Fire away!
Experiment with more isolation possibilities and figure out how to do the six-staff chaotic equivalent to antispin. Figure out which hybrids make sense and which hybrids only look like mishmash.
So yeah, we'll see how that goes
