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:


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.

You think your a cat. Others claim to be fairies, or from the moon or made of fire. Plus a whole bunch of other weird delusional fantasies that only exist in this pretend world of computers. rolleyes

Psychiatrists could have a field day with this bunch o' spinners. ubbloco

Me, on the other hand, they would merely have to smell from 40 paces to know that logic is my only faith. umm

Hear you is returning to us soon Rob. And jolly good too, I shall see you at some London based event. Although I mite be in Scotland in Feb, so could drop in then.

Wotever. Stay well my amigo wave

jonnny, if someone is dead when you first meet them, i'd say they're likely to still be dead at a later date or is my time all backwards again?

anyway, that quote is better than the one that goes 'sometimes its a monkey, sometimes an elephant and often its a fridge'.

luxury big dog cruise...

hmmmmm, what does a cat look like inside out?

(6x,4)(4,2x) is a cool thing to do with balls.

the butler did it.

hey hugo wave
i popped into your intro to say hi cos it's about to get seriously nerdy in here...

some numbers for drew (i can only do the first two of these and those are one sided cos my left hand doesn't know what 6 means yet):

(4,6x)(2x,4)
(4,6x)(4x,2)
(4x,6x)(4x,2x)
(4x,6)(4,2x)
(6,4x)(4x,2)
(6x,6x)(2x,2x)
(2x,6x)
(8,2x)(2x,4)
(8x,2x)(4x,2x)
(6x,2)(2x,6)(2,6x)(6,2x)
(2x,8)(2x,4)(8,2x)(4,2x)
(2x,8)(4,2)(8,2)(4,2x)
(8x,2x)(2x,4x)(2x,6x)
(8,2)(2x,4x)
(2x,6x)(6x,2x)

4ball box variations for rob (these are ones i can't do but would love to):

[64]11
(2x,8)(2x,4)(8,2x)(4,2x) - listed above but is my favourite one of the lot
a1612 - async variation of above that i swear is almost impossible (note: a=10)

Hey Coleman.

6 Ball Flash waheeeeeyyyyyyyyyy

Must practice every day
Must practice every day

Numbers numbers, Show me all at Spitz this eve.

Hey Drew, with how many people was your heart left, out of interest. eek

And how does this half thing work again??? wink

i refuse to believe it until i see evidence that you have no new tricks since your trip.

I sometimes feel like I am invisible, people don't take any notice of what I'm doing. I thought these people were my friends....ah well i guess I'll have to try and make new ones ubbcrying

It's just juggle, juggle, juggle....talk about one track mind. I don't know what else I can do to make people notice me...I thought getting drunk might help. But no, it was ignore Hels, and continue juggling.

Yep that cat rocks! Watched the Japanese version and the disney cat is far cooler than the Japanese version - they beefed up his character and gave him a proper voice instead of the adrogynous whine he had before!
