i'm trying to get into changing this intro from time to time - at the very least to keep the music and films bit 'up to date'.
name: cole[man]
sex: male
age: 27
location: i live in a veritable castle in leytonstone in east london with my beautiful girlfriend
i used to go to lots of workshops but i have to admit, its a fairly rare occurance these days.
your favourite website/s: this one is okay
jugglingdb.com, contactjuggling.org, okayplayer.com, spherculism.com, playfestival.co.uk, magicbunny.co.uk, gettyimages.co.uk, toolband.com, airside.co.uk...
toys: i play poi and juggle balls. every now and again (like most people i think) i pick up other toys but am worse at all of these than i am at the keeping balls in the air thing - 97531, drop, drop, drop, drop, drop.
been twirling: since may 2002.
i could do the basic stuff (just a fwd and rev 3bt weave and a fwd butterfly) back in nov 2001 but then went and did a snowboard season in the alps and forgot everything.
when i came back, i discovered one of my best friends had learnt loads!
so summer 2002, i was in the lucky position of being around wikid poi people every weekend and having a friend acting almost as a personal tutor during the week.
big love and respect to jonny moohaahaa and fairie cath for all your patience, effort, guidance and days and days of playtime!
i began learning to juggle in august or september of 2002.
recent manipulation trends: been playing with one and two 4" stage balls quite a bit whilst wiggling bits of my body, learning to juggle 5 balls all over again, 3 ball body throws, getting confused about antispin, balancing things on my head and spinning a ball on my finger.
occupation: db admin and layout & design (similar to a porn star, just in an office). i work for a small, law firm in their information and research department. i also handle all of the firm's dtp, digital publishing and commercial print. aerotech toys aren't cheap and since my body won't ever make me rich, i have resorted to something a little more conventional
hobbies: bammy , this stuff, music, collecting things (i'm very bad for this) and boarding (although my skating is now non-existent due to me being crap and it hurting too much so just snow when i can afford it).
music: i like pretty much all of it. current playlist includes TOOL, RADIOHEAD, THE ROOTS, D'ANGELO and JEFF BUCKLEY, (and the rest) wayne shorter, a perfect circle, billie holiday, jill scott, joni mitchell, saul williams, john coltrane, soad, dj shadow, roy hargrove, 4-tet, edith piaf, cat empire, faith no more...
movies: recently seen... old boy
team america, the last samurai, the ladykillers, the eternal sunshine of the spotless mind, shaolin kung fu master, jackie brown, shrek 2, shogun assassin, midnight express, lotr, seven samurai & magnificent seven double bill, kill bill 1 & 2, confessions of a dangerous mind, eraserhead, princess mononoke, a beautiful mind, pay it forward, adaptation, waking life.
favourites... shogun assassin, requium for a dream, anything by lynch, kevin smith or the coen brothers or anything written by charlie kaufmann.
books: recent... hiding the elephant, illuminatus trilogy, philosophical investigations, a book on nlp, shogun, oracle night, peter cook '...only twin', the curious incident of the dog in the night time, lord of the rings trilogy (first time ever - it didn't disappoint!), the complete winnie-the-pooh collection, of mice and men, vurt (again), chocky, brave new world, dune, falling out of cars, alice's adventures in wonderland.
favourite authors... jeff noon, iain banks, robert anton wilson and comic/graphic novel writers that only fanboys like me have ever heard of (brian michael bendis, j. m. staczynski, kevin smith, alan moore, greg rucker, brian azzarello).
tv: was invented solely to distribute the league and the boosh to the masses.
favourite colour(s): both of them - black and white
favourite number: three - its magic don't ya know?
i never had a favourite number until last year so i thought i may as well put it up here with the rest of the useless information.
and a quick note about that orange 'grumpy' face on the top of all my posts - i'm not mean or unhappy, nor does it suggest that i'm angry in every post i make.
i just think its cooler than the regular pin-in-a-post-it message icon. and it makes it easy to spot my own posts cos it rarely gets used by anyone else. and its orange and black.
and now for posterity's sake, my old sig list:
the original guru quote:
'its often easier to give advice,
than it is for a person to run one's own life'
the art lift:
if i am who i am because of who i am
and you are who you are because of who you are
then i am who i am and you are who you are
however...
if i am who i am because of who you are
and you are who you are because of who i am
then i am not who i am and you are not who you are
on the brink of war:
the horror
is that dave?:
you're myyyy wiiife noooooooooow...
confusing nix? with some bill hicks:
"here's tom with the weather..."
cryptic or just argumentative?:
a windmill in a fountain is like a spoon in the matrix...
its always a good idea to learn to swim:
mom's gonna fix it all soon.
mom's coming round to put it back the way it ought to be.
cassette boy's jewish doctor:
"you're dead.
GOD TOLD ME."
ever had a watch up your ass?:
"If any of you people disagree, I loathe you. I despise you. If I ever meet you in person, I'll smash your brains in with a f***ing bat. Then we'll see who doesn't like hot dogs."
karma:
Non-Https Image Link
the end of the beginning:
silencio...
*never* become a performer:
"i felt so strongly that I belonged in that triangle that I started sleeping in it - you can imagine what this did for my home life..."
beware the renaissance gentleman:
"on the contrary george of asda: you will tell us... everything."
boo! shhhhh...
"i'm gonna snap your nose off and toss it at a vicar..."
why do we even bother to be here:
how they survive so misguided is a mystery.
repugnant is a creature who would squander the ability,
to lift an eye to heaven, conscious of his fleeting time here.

""""monkey's can't juggle more than 2 objects. its a proven fact."""
??Proven fact?? You can't prove that a monkey can't do something. All you can prove it that a monkey has not yet been witnessed (as alluded to) doing a certain thing or that the motivational requirements for enough practice for a suitable period of time have yet to be applied to said monkey.
It wasn't too long ago physicists said you couldn't coast on a unicycle and now there are coasting competitions at unicycle conventions!!!
Of course, I'm being boring and picky so I'll hand out licorice cigars to everyone!

yep, you took that one away from us physicists and now you attack our sacred monkey postulates.
okay, so maybe from time to time we claim that some things are the gospel truth when, in fact, we actually just reckon we're right cos we think we're really clever.
we might have been wrong about the uni's, but we're right about the monkeys.
feel free to prove me wrong

[edit: i can't find a scrap of evidence of a qualified physicist that claimed that coasting was impossible. but i didn't look that hard]

so.
using postlethwhistles first postulate, it can be shown that in any given group of monkeys, one of them can juggle more than two objects as long as it/he is a human. as mentioned int he first passage of the postulate(surprisingly repressed by his colleagues in the scientific community, coming as it did so soon after 'origin of species') "bollocks to the idea that monkeys and apes are different".
i rest my case.

well look at it as, cos you are using both your hands to juggle you practice and show so much you cant type!
thus you and rubenstein are equal in that you dont post and practice equally!
hows that!

anyone remember my profanity bot test from the last page?
well, my test was incomplete since it turns out upon adding my new cool-as-f*ck signature, i stumbled across the fact that the swearbot doesn't look in there
i still can't edit my original intro post, which is quite annoying as i keep all my old sigs there.

that song is well and truly stuck in my head now - and its great!
" dum-dum ...... ba-doo-doo doooo-do-do .. dum-dum ..... "
i haven't spoken to drew in ages (been avoiding him so he doesn't chastise me again for failing to get my sorry arse to the ejc).
but i did get an edith piaf cd recently which made me think of him
anyway, we get to see the manu-jay passing act first cos we're at glasto (even though it'll probably be better and longer at the ejc

its not a definite no - its just a very probable one
i spent far too much money already this year and have been meaning to get rid of some of that mountain of debt left over from uni for years now
excuses, excuses, excuses i know...
i also figure that my excuse from last year sort of stands - that i'm not actually that good a juggler yet and going to a convention that big might not be that beneficial to me really - 5 ball workshops won't really benefit me too much right now...
next year i will bne able to take home soooo much more (and might even go to berlin too).
i also said i'd get 100 catches of five balls by the time the ejc was here and i've still only got as far as 98 catches so i may not even be allowed to go
finally, i want to go to the brighton convention and if i go to the ejc, i won't have any holiday time left.
so basically, i'm going to see how it goes and decide pretty much the week before the convention - if i have the money and i can find a spare lift at that stage, i'll go but being honest, i don't reckon i'll make it
love to all

nyc - i know man
if i could get there, i would but alas it seems it is not to be.
but: woohoo!!! its the start of the annual pilton festival tomorrow.
i get two beautiful princesses in a (golden?) carriage to ride down with and some lovely fellas are gonna erect our living quarters for the week before we even arrive
on top of that i found out that i can juggle five better than i credited myself for, just by standing up more often!
i thought my ceilings were too low for 5 balls so i've always knelt down to practice.
i've had the classic problem of throwing away with one hand which is really hard to correct when kneeling down (and gets you into bad habits of juggling a wonky cascade) and my average has been stuck around 20 catches for a good few months now.
last night i tried standing indoors to practice 5 balls for about 20 minutes and although it is low and quite fast, i got my average up over 30 catches and got a best run of 57 catches
still aiming for 100 by the end of july though and then i'll start learning a new trick (or just go for 6 or 7).
nyc - i know man
if i could get there, i would but alas it seems it is not to be.
but: woohoo!!! its the start of the annual pilton festival tomorrow.
i get two beautiful princesses in a (golden?) carriage to ride down with and some lovely fellas are gonna erect our living quarters for the week before we even arrive
on top of that i found out that i can juggle five better than i credited myself for, just by standing up more often!

Coleman my fine fair chappie,
You still have not replied about your possible dream job: Installing Aerials.
Not only but also
Glastonbury. Thank You. I had such an amazing time, it made me realise what truely special friends I have. and you obviously moisturise...your hands were sooooooooo soft.
I love you mate. Thanks.
When we finally had gotten to the car (it took us 2 and a half hours to leave the car park...2 hours sitting in the car waiting to move...then when we decided to go the other direction, we left in 30 mins).....we all agreed thankfully we didnt have to mission it back to the site, then back to the car again like you. Nuff respect.

A kiss blown is a kiss wasted, the only kind of kiss is a kiss tasted.
I'm a woman. We don't say what we want, but we reserve the right to be pissed off if we don't get it. That's what makes us so fascinating and not just a LITTLE bit scary.

ooh, visitors
brodiemike - i hugged ya on tuesday but it never hurts does it so have another
because of you i now have midnight marauders by atcq in my head which can only be a good thing
"kee-keep bouncing-bouncing..."
jonnycough - aerial van was not mine but i have started up my music publishing venture on the east side like i promised i would:
Non-Https Image Link
old-timey blues to the core muthafukka
as for glasto; lets just say i owe you many, many hugs for being the perfect camping partner and generally for being you, being there.
oh, and we sat in the car park for about 4 hours in the end - we left hels in the queue when we went back for the tent and the poor lass only moved 10ft in the hour and a half it took us to get back to her!
we stopped for a little chef brekkie treat (god was it expensive though!) then princess bells did a sterling job driving us home quickly, safe and sound
valurachick - was only talking about you and your troy last night i was out juggling with kev and hearing all about your kombi and plans for your trip
the moisturiser sounds yummy! i might have trouble not licking it if it smells like lolly pops though...
and i feel i have to say in my defence, my hands getting moisturised is more of a side effect than an actual intention...
*cheeky grin*
beautiful bammy i'll be holding you in a little over an hour (too bloody long i say!) but until then have this to help keep you awake...

i kept mainly to my favourites, adding a few local delicacies such as twat and git in for good measure.
i generally avoid hitting myself in the nuts nowdays.
it used to be fun and those few years were golden but that time has passed for me.
i plan to live out the rest of my days concentrating on funny-bone-knock-induced spasms

yeah i will be
what i need more than a camera (i do actually have one of those believe it or not) is someone that can rip from dv tape and burn the footage onto a few cds (at a fairly decent quality) for me.
i can't get decent video onto my pc from my camera which is very annoying - at the very least, i would just like a record that i can keep on my pc of tricks i'm working on so i can compare to them in say 3 months time.
the reason i don't use my videocamera to record poi/juggling any more is because i had so much footage that i never used for anything, it seemed like a huge waste of tape.
seriously, if its any extra hassle bringing your camera down and you weren't planning to anyway, don't do it just for me
i could sort out my computer if i spent every night for a week on it but i just have never gotten round to doing it must do this next (after rearranging of bedroom takes place).
i don't suppose you have a copy of adobe premiere i could nick off you though do ya...?
