Amazing vid  The variation in speed was nice and I really liked the elaborate use of stalls. the video's message... it sounds like you've gone through quite a slump in attempting to achieve you're dreams. kelly's law: "murphy was an optimist." fair play to you, keep that chin up  hrm, moving to europe you say,... Fancy giving belgium a try?

Nick, you made my day with that. I really admire your willingness to share your vulnerability. Keep on keeping on! PS Did you know I was depressed when you were staying with us?

Kyle: Really? You seemed so beautiful and shining  All of you rock my world. I wasn't sure how that video would go over. I have a bunch of ideas for bringing more meaning and depth to the videos I make... so it's great to see people are interested in story lines and gritty expression  Oooh, I can't wait to have a budget some day. I've got some pretty epic little scripts, but I don't want to try to produce them until I have some funds to work with. It would be so great to bring 12 people together for a couple months, and make something significant together Love you all, n

Clare, you're definitely invited! But I think you'll have a slightly more staring role that requires a little wiggling  As for holding my props, is that what you call them in Ireland? I don't get offers like that often.... n

Thanks, Nick. Another inspiring and touching video indeed. I feel your pain as I also suffer from low self esteem and depression sometimes regardless of how many wonderful people surround me. I guess everyone does from time to time. Its best just to be happy that we DO have such wonderful people around us because I don't think everyone is as fortunate. And if ever you need help on your projects, know that I would gladly assist!

Nick, That was a fantastic video, both for the spinning, and the sentiments expressed in the subtitles. I've been through a lot of similar feelings the last few years, different reasons obviously, but much heartfelt sympathy for you. you always produce such beautiful fluid movement, both of yourself and your poi, and I love the way you short/long poi transition so fluidly. I'm still kicking myself completely for being too shy to try say hi when I saw you at the Bristol juggling convention last year, I was only there for the last 2 days, and spotted you once across a crowd. It may not help with your worries, but you are an inspiration to thousands

Beautiful, beautiful beautiful Nick.
I am another one who often goes through depressions, but everyone thinks is really positive all the time.
You are such an inspiration to me. Love you, your book, your play, your vids, your humour, everything. Be so nice to see you again.

Ok, new video: Show Your Poi! I get regular emails from people who want to know more about poi (how long, what kind of handles, how heavy, etc.), usually from people who aren't lucky enough to have a spinning community to play with... and since we had such a nice crew in Thailand, I figured it would be sweet if we all whipped it out for a little show and tell.
