1:: Tell a story, or at least communicate something other than "I can do staff well" in a routine.
2:: learn a couple more performance styles.
3:: get my knee better and do more acrobatics.
4:: learn contact doubles, and possibly long doubles also.
5:: make more comedy non-fire staffs.
6:: learn to juggle three staffs
7:: quit my job. go to circus school.
8:: learn roue cyr
9:: make more doubles tutorials.

so in lieu of it being the actual end of the year... I can state what goals I have and have accomplished... along with some maybes.

1) Almost... But not really.
2) Half...
3) knee better = Done! WIN! Integrating acrobatics and contact... I need more time with a healed knee... = LOSE
4) WIN.
5) WIN. (with more to come...)
6) WIN. Three staffs have been juggled.
7) FAIL. Job is still here. Circus schoool will have to wait till next year.
8) WIN. But still having trouble finding places and time to practise. I can do it now thou.
9) FAIL. Actually [censored] it, I made a DVD. This is now WIN.

So I needs to work on more performance stuff. And get rid of the job. Oh well could be worse. My knee is better and in that regard, life is very very good.

How's the rest of you guys holding up? Time to think up some 'resolutions' for next year... joys!

_single fishtails
more antispins and islotions

_dual fishtails
freedom in movement through all standart directions and combinations (solid)

_3 staff throwing
just come up with combinations, variations...nothing for stage

_keep on working with david on our contactshow
_perform in an other continent than europe
_produce 2 conceptual staffvideos with david
_and yes learn steves, (full, all parts, prayer) as promised

allright, here is how it went in vienna for me

single fishtales:
FAIL -no new antispin or isolation patterns

dual fishtales:
yep, DONE, solid in all (i could think of) basic butterfly and same direction variations

3 staff:
hm i just made it up to step 7 out of 12 to a mills mess behind the back...
actually together with david we created some nice 3 staff lego patterns haha WIN (just different than imagened beginning of the year)

_contactshow with david
actually i FAILED, but instead i developed a soloroutine and performed it at uberparis, play and 531 ....so maybe halfway WIN ???

FAILED in performing in an other continent, -not even left europe at all , still performed in 7 european contries, but hopefully next year visiting the world for perfoming, teaching and skill sharing

2 conceptual staff vids with david:
FAILED, we started working on a monster-project recently thou,
but there have been quite a lot of videos this year,
6 fenfire vids,
2 fishtale ones,
3 of other producers (staff juggling only, megs staff DVD, and noel-ski´s contact DVD)
yeah, hopefully even more next year

finaly steves:
haha i WAS able to do it, but i didn´t train it in the last 6 month ...damn fishtales

defining a 3 staff goal..
..3 staff continious btb
...hold it on vid for 30 sec

argh i can perform 3 staff backcrosses, but just for a flash not for 30 sec....


overall i am happy an pleased how this year worked out, so many new friends and wicked festival times, hard working with the fenfire crew, combined with propper training and manipulation technique development, i am loving it

big cheers to david, rob, meg, ros, ian, steve and all supporters ..love you!
