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'.

smile



name: cole[man]

sex: male

age: 27



location: i live in a veritable castle in leytonstone in east london with my beautiful girlfriend ubblove

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 wink 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! hug

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 smile



hobbies: bammy ubblove , 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 eek 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 smile



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.



cole

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.

cole





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:

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.

COLE I've enlisted my friend, the governer of California to gain control of your thread. Oh and gimme your clothes, your boots, your motorcycle and todays prediciction!

I'm hijacking this thread in protest at the removal of the Smoking Smilie! Pah!

'twas a shame indeed I didn't make liquid. Sorry to hear about your weed and £50! Nasty! Did you tell Liquid crew what happened?

Castle in the sky, kiki's delivery service, princess mononoke and spirited away! Monsieur with these dvds you are really spoiling me! Mulholland dr. also a brilliant idea.

Heard mixed reports about new Coen brothers film, quite 'nice' with a pretty predictable ending, but an enjoyable movie I'm sure. One for my list of things to view. Have not been to the cinema since Reloaded and probably won't make it again till reloaded. Ah well.

Come faeries, take me out of this dull world, for I would ride with you upon the wind and dance upon the mountains like a flame.

Can't talk. Lost my voice. I think someone took it home with them from my flatmate's party here on Friday because I woke up on Saturday and it wasn't there!

Will you send it to me if you find it?

Nx? the minx back in town

Cole - what time do you think proceedings should start on Sunday? Drome asked me the other day and my reply was 'well whenever people feel like coming roun'. I realise that is not very organised so anytime from 2pm onwards should be ok with me. Give a time around when you can make it and we shall make that the designated time to start the slothfulness.

Got a copy of intolerable cruelty down the market. Its not bad, I started watching it again last night and liked it a lot more upon second viewing, its quirky and feel good at the same time. Stellar performance from George Clooney.

Come faeries, take me out of this dull world, for I would ride with you upon the wind and dance upon the mountains like a flame.

yay! a bouncing nix? on his way to dungeon town
i am not happy about being nauseous though...
unless it is reached through excessive bong use.
of course ?nicks? doesn't juggle so i can't make him sick with my jay gilligan reverse shuffle thingy's.
just as well cos my juggling never works when there are people around
see ya soon mon frere.

i agree with minicam - poi is for girls.
i had hoped it was good for catching girls too but it turns out its charm and good looks that does that.
silly me

to the lovely miss neko - whatever time i say, i am guaranteed to be late.
if it suits you, i will aim for two o'clock which translates into about 3ish.
cheers for the heads up on intolerable cruelty - i'll probably going to wait for dvd rental to see now.
however, i did actually make it out to see mr tarantino's new flick on monday.
its good. real good. in fact, i think i want to marry uma thurman now.
can't believe we've actually arranged this chill time - i'm pretty sure it would have taken normal people less than a year to bring an idea like 'lets have a smoke sometime' to fruition!
until sunday then

hello to all the peeps who have popped in to say hi
especially miss sunbeam - i still haven't spoken to you since you started uni!
i'm very bad at using communication devices (phones and email are great but for some reason i use them very little )
and to yourself and big love to your brother and the rest of your family.

Yup, that seems to be the general feeling nowadays.....do you reckon oddballs would do a line in charm and personality for us if we asked them really nicely and ordered in bulk - lol....?

the weekend was great

moved the princesses with zero problems. which was nice.

unfortunately i never met miss marmite spider (or anyone but the last few to leave in fact) but i did get to hug everyone that migrated to the house of sketch for tea and jugglemania afterwards including some special guests and some lovely surprise ones too.

juggled fire clubs really badly but when the three person passing stuff actually got through a few cycles it felt and looked gorgeous - possibly the coolest thing i've ever done with fire.

kat's on sunday was heavenly.
and teppanyaki rocks!

but now for something completely different...

first there was this ( ):

oooh pretty......

Watched the rest of Kiki's delivery service last night - mucho enjoyed thank you. It is certianly more children orientated than other Miyazaki films I have seen, it rocked also though, the cat was indeed very groovy!

Hope you don't mind if I hold on to it for another week, I forgot it this morning (damn and the long promised book for Bovril) Kota just discovered the Japanese audio version so now I can watch it in Japanese while I still have it - hurrah! My language ability is rapidly disintegrating so it will be a fun way of brushing up.

See you later

Ok, can't resist... must... butt in... on Ghibli conversation...

Have you seen 'My Neighbour Totoro'?

Most child orientated Ghibli film i've seen. Didn't stop it being one of the best things i've ever seen ever ever though

i really want to find a copy of Porco Rosso, the one about a pig who's an italian WW1 flying ace.

whoa, look at the time! have to go home, grab some sticks and then venture into the dark psychic geography of Spittalfields.

Well thats another for my evergrowing list! My absolute dream job would be film / book reviewer. I know you have to watch / read a lot of drivel as well, but I think I could deal

Have just seen 2 good Japanese movies Kota borrowed from a friend. The first one is ping pong - who'd have thought that a film could be made that made ping pong seem exciting, it tells the story of 2 friends and the journey their friendship and their talent for ping pong takes them on. The ping pong matches are beatifully shot and the soundtrack is sweet also!

The second film is called platonic sex - once I got over the dodgy title, I was surprised by a gem of a film. Its based on the life story of a Japanese AV (porn) actress who entered the hostess and AV world after being gang raped was beaten up and kicked out of home by her father. She contemplates suicide but is saved by a text message sent to her just before she takes the plunge. Its the first time I have seen rape and the stigama of being raped addressed in a Japanese film, perhaps not a first date movie but one for the 'list' if only for the beautiful performance of the lead actress .
