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.

Hello mr lovely.
Ive been meaing to post here all week, but i though i would draw it out if I kept putting if off
Thank you for your attendance at the forest party. It is always nice to see you, and even nicer to see you with a Princess, in some woods, smiling.
Cheers for the lift back. It was much needed and remarkably helpful. I think i went straight to bed when I got back and didnt get up until the following morning
See you soon my friend.

dunno exactly where in the UK you can get one of those shirts, the only offer I could give you is doing one by myself or yourself, be creative and then your friends probably won't be able to ignore the shirt!

the last month and a bit has been amazing for me and i thought i'd write some stuff here to remember it by.
been meaning to post this almost as long as i've been meaning to pm will so it might be a bit long...
so, oobapoi rocked!
i absolutely crapped myself about this for about a month and a half leading up to it.
i had never given a formal workshop to a group of people before, let alone four workshops in two days to some of the best poi spinners around!
luckily it meant i prepared pretty well and didn't get too stuck for material
the uberbasics workshop (planes and circle placement) went really well and was superbly complimented by nick's workshop (bits of which i have serrupticiously stolen for my own ends ) and the speed variation stuff seemed to mangle people's brains a bit on the sunday.
which was kind of what it was supposed to do although i thought some, especially the drummers, would pick it up faster - i think sunday afternoon was possibly the wrong time for it.
incidentally, i attempted to spin in 5:3 at falmouth which failed completely!
more polyrhythms are on the way soon though, including my next juggling aim - 4 ball 3:2 tricks and basic 4:3 and 5:3.
but the best thing about oobapoi was the people i met and connected with.
i finally got to meet arashi and nick and andy and claire and andrea and kit and ado-p and amelie and - i have to stop otherwise this whole post will just turn into be a list of oobapoi attendees!
it was great to finally speak to the people behind the poi and of course having a little spin with some of those guys was really cool too - the three i mentioned first there have so much individual style its hard to know what to take onboard and what to simply stand back and admire.
arashi - hopefully i'll get to see you again before you jet back off to the u.s. - i loved the time we spent together and would cherish doing it again.
andy - you are a beautiful spinner and an even more beautiful person (if that's possible) with the largest amount of contagious energy that i've ever seen - i look forward to the next time we meet and spending lots more time with you say hi to olivier for me and make sure you check out the corpse bride when its released 
nick - what can i say. you are a true angel my friend and i feel honoured to have met you - you're ideas and ideals inspire me above and beyond... and you sent me a pair of the coolest underpants that i could ever hope to own
the play festival had a similar vibe to oobapoi except it was bigger, in england, outdoors and more conventiony - the loving, welcoming vibe and the open, sharing attitudes again were the overiding influences at this place.
spinners are lovely ain't they?
i have found new toys to play with.
but they are magic and thus secret for the next year or so.
and best of all i'm so much in love that its almost unbelievable to me that i could possibly deserve it
so, all in all, i am one happy man right about now - and jonnnnnnny comes back in a little over a weeks' time which is another grand thing to look forward to
to everyone that has visited my intro whilst i've been oblivious to it - thank-you:
nyc - that cartoon still makes me grin - quantum espresso
fairy - we still failed to chat in person. i demand fairytime when we are next vaguely in the same place.
jonny-oo-cough - you are one cool, sexy motherf*cker oh, and my favourite words from your list are scatterbrain, bedspringweekend and decomposition, in exactly that order.
spanner - where did you go? i swear i saw you at play on the friday and then lost you for the rest of the weekend?! hopefully see you again soon and til then, here's the hug i never got to give you goodbye
shen - you being all sneaky again? good work lad
martin - i have new tricks. they are invisible. but only if i do them *really* well
tina - me? creative? you have yet to meet me i see... i do have the facilities to make a one-off t-shirt and i'd quite like it with '...just hump my leg if you have to.' written on the back
simian - thank-you lots and lots for the picture of the bboy polar bear - he is old skool and too bad. meaning 'too good' obviously - should i be using the word 'nang' for this purpose nowdays? anyway, you are truly a man amongst apes. or an ape amongst monkeys. or a monkey amongst amoeba. whatever the bigger compliment is.
miss claire - twas a pleasure to see your beautiful self again so glad you got your poi back off of their cruel abductor and thank-you for making me spend money on this little gem
cat -doof forgot to say a mahoosive thank-you - i'll tell you what for next time i see you
puk - word up. i've never met you, but i know people that have and hopefully i might too one day... that would be cool
andy (again) - very much looking forward to seeing you again too. 'keep smiling'? i definitely will - you too man.
girlfriend2(bags) - want me to rub your feet now...?

oh, and my favourite words from your list are scatterbrain, bedspringweekend and decomposition, in exactly that order.spanner - where did you go? i swear i saw you at play on the friday and then lost you for the rest of the weekend?! hopefully see you again soon and til then, here's the hug i never got to give you goodbye
shen - you being all sneaky again? good work lad
martin - i have new tricks. they are invisible. but only if i do them *really* well
tina - me? creative? you have yet to meet me i see...
i do have the facilities to make a one-off t-shirt and i'd quite like it with '...just hump my leg if you have to.' written on the back simian - thank-you lots and lots for the picture of the bboy polar bear - he is old skool and too bad. meaning 'too good' obviously - should i be using the word 'nang' for this purpose nowdays? anyway, you are truly a man amongst apes. or an ape amongst monkeys. or a monkey amongst amoeba. whatever the bigger compliment is.
miss claire - twas a pleasure to see your beautiful self again
so glad you got your poi back off of their cruel abductor and thank-you for making me spend money on this little gem cat -
doof forgot to say a mahoosive thank-you - i'll tell you what for next time i see you puk - word up. i've never met you, but i know people that have and hopefully i might too one day... that would be cool
andy (again
) - very much looking forward to seeing you again too. 'keep smiling'? i definitely will - you too man.girlfriend2(bags) - want me to rub your feet now...?
cole. x
*damn that's a lot of smilies - i had to go back and take some out so it didn't break!*
"i see you at 'dis cafe.
i come to 'dis cafe quite a lot myself.
they do porridge."

cole, i'm getting back in the habit of posting argumentative rubbish on HoP instead of working. i'll be back in Poi Moves soon if i keep this up
can you suggest any office boredom-displacement activities to stop the rot?
(apart from finding stuff like this:)
