despite the evil cold

Winter.

arg.

I really really REALLY don’t like the cold. Times that by 528 when it’s raining aswell. raggraggragrgrgggg nastiness.

Every day I do find myself daydreaming about Brazil, or about warm european festivals… but despite the gritty reality outside, I am keeping myself motivated with bright colours, choreographies and far too many projects and plans. Good!

I find myself utterly incapable to satiate my obsession with hula-hooping… so I’ve stopped trying. It means I train less with juggling and acro at the moment, but if my heart’s driving me to hula, I just can’t deprive myself!

Having found the most amazing, inspiring partner to train and choreograph with (the bouncy-hobbit-like one they call Chanti), I’m constantly occupied with creating silly dances, wiggles, mind-games, technically uber-hardcore tricks and working towards spinning 6 hoops around my body at one time… still currently working on 4, but the understanding for more is coming! I’m obsessed enough - I’ll get there!

I’m still loving my dance course - although, I spent some time training in a mirrored studio this week and can really see how much more I need to train to get the sort of control required. sigh.

What else? oh yes, I’m going to start going to breakdancing classes again (which I haven’t done since I was at 6th form college!), so that could be eventful!

So again, it is a winter of training hard and creating as much new material as possible for the coming years… so much to do!

life’s too short…

…not to be active.

I fear the mice are gathering around my computer as I type this as they sense the cheese that is about to be scattered liberally around (like napalm in a vietnamese jungle)…
But it makes it no less true, that time is such a precious commodity - and yet we band it about and squandor it on things like “Big Brother 5 minute News Update” or “My celebrity ass is bigger than your mum”… precious precious precious. Time is the only thing that allows us to learn, form relationships, and perhaps most importantly of all - daydream randomness

So, yes, I haven’t written this blog for a couple of weeks, because I’ve been busy filling my time with training lots n lots n lots, choreographing and creating… and daydreaming and night-dreaming. In fact I’m heading that way now.
