none of the good stuff...

hello,

this has taken me a while to get around to :oops:

i am cole.
i joined here a while ago.
but then stopped spinning poi and learnt to juggle.
so i've never really posted here much.
i mainly spend my days hijacking hop with random juggling posts and checking in on a few other select wastes of my company's money Sphism/winksmiley
my interest in poi has been rekindled in the past few months so i thought i'd have a peek in here.
i'm *so* glad i did Sphism/gigglesmiley
hope to meet some of you guys and gals one day.
if i don't already know you that is...
in which case, i hope i get yto see you again soon...
and now i shall rip off durbs' intro format and leave you to ponder one of the deepest paradoxes of the highest science.

age: 25
location: i live in harlow in essex, but you can find me in london most of the time.
main toys: jugglingballs, jugglingclubs, poi.
other toys: stick/s, meteor, contact juggling.
what i like to do when not juggling: bammy Sphism/winksmiley, snowboard (its been *way* too long), acro (newbie), video editing (supernewbie), digital photography (unternewbie), listen to/dance to/play music, watch weird movies and read weirder books.

"reason is god."
discuss.

Hey coleman, you here too? Sphism/gigglesmiley
Welcome.

Hey Coleman, at last an introduction on ¦s¦ ~ we feel truely blessed.

Spherculism is not intended to be just about poi. It's just waiting for the day when someone else says ' hey matt, you want me to make a load of 'blah' tutorials and send you the dv tape so you can cut it all up and host it '

Since you're a juggler with a good knowledge and appriciation for poi i think you should show us some juggling stuff, or at least kick start the juggling forum :53

Can you do 3 clubs with a 2 beat weave underneith ~ that's the one club pattern i'd love to know.

I've been mainly concentrating on 2 diablo recently and i'm finnally getting the hang of it, gonna be fun highlightling the parrallels between poi and diablo in the dvd, especially since diablo players tend to have about as little respect for poi as most jugglers do. Which is funny since all 3 are virtually identical.

In terms of 'conic sections':

poi is the circle,

diablo is the elipse and

juggling is the parabola

¦m¦

Greetings Mr Coleman, Chutney salutes you Sphism/smilesmiley

Nice to see yourself and bovrilmonkey around on Spherc- From everything I've read and from the stuff James has told me youll be most at home here on Spherculism Sphism/smilesmiley

"reason is God" you say? Are you taking a rleigious or purely philosophical standpoint there- I understand your statemewnt realtive to thinkers such as Leibniz. Sphism/smilesmiley

Chutney

chutney -

i'm approaching from a kabalistic point of view.

so that would most accurately be a theosophical standpoint Sphism/gigglesmiley

that didn't help did it? Sphism/winksmiley

synergy tonight sir?

cole. x

Hey Cole,

eeeeeeeeeEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP !!

In the case of accidental overeep syndrome of recent times, this 'ere eep was spoken by Josie, but it's good to hear the word uttered from many a random person.

Wonderful you could make it here in Spherc Land Sphism/gigglesmiley
I read some of your posts on HOP and perhaps you could share your wise n daft knowledge of tricks n pieces here too?

See you Synergy-ing tonight?

yesyes miss lashes!
:36

i saw you for like half a second at the last party so shall stop near for hugs n eeps tonight Sphism/gigglesmiley

got a lovely message from a certain swooper on another message board the other day which made me go all swirly and reminiscified (click this if ya wanna see: http://www.jugglingdb.com/news/article.php?id=%3CyDLZd.69249%24y25.64535%40fe3.news.blueyonder.co.uk%3E).

me techy poi explanation days are behind me i think, but ya never know Sphism/winksmiley

see ya later fairie (i'll be there from about 10:00 but leaving early - chemical brothers tomorrow night!),

cole. x

'lo Cole Sphism/smilesmiley

See you at Synergy tonight! Sphism/gigglesmiley

spiral - definitely Sphism/gigglesmiley
me lady is performing for them tonight too :41 :42 :41

mot - hello, yes i am, and thank-you Sphism/winksmiley

matt - feedback on the vid would be great and cheers for the hosting offer but that one probably won't be put up for public viewing anywhere - it'll be just for the other video making heads Sphism/smilesmiley
i would like to get better, non blurry, better lit footage (and improve my editing skills!) before i put anything out there.

as for juggling, i will happily populate your juggling section with lots of random jabber.
it may just be me talking to meself but i'm pretty used to that.
probably split my posts between here and hop but i guess i could do something like all clubs and rings posts here and all ball posts there (just to make it easier for me to follow what i wrote where!).

the trick you're talking about is called 'mike's mess'.
its 522 with a cross follow underneath for anyone that knows what i'm on about.
i can't do it.
but i know a man who can: http://www.spherculism.com/poiple/modules.php?name=Forums&file=profile&mode=viewprofile&u=951 Sphism/smilesmiley
will be working on it this summer for sure - have never had solid enough 5's (the high throw) and was doing it on triples, but it turns out if you do the cf really quick, it works fine with the 5 as a double Sphism/gigglesmiley

anyhoo, i have to do work now so i can go to a party.

see ya later me lovelies...

cole. x

welcome brother... glad to have you aboard... :7

Sadly no Synergy- saving monies for Falmouth Sphism/smilesmiley

Welcome welcome. :57

Saw you half a second less than last time BUT I did see BamBam's show and was very impressed! Great costumes too. Continual spinning through several tracks is hard work. They did well Sphism/coolsmiley

Wished you'd been able to Finchley it afterwards, but alas, another time hey. Was ChemicalBro's was fantastico?

Yeah how was synergy?

My firend went and she said it was a better 'vibe' than the last one and that she found a whole other set of rooms we missed the first time Sphism/gigglesmiley

Next one is on my birthday, only prob is the fact I have to work the next morning Sphism/sadsmiley

Anyway- how was it for you guys? (Sorry, totally off topiuc- hello coleman Sphism/smilesmiley)

Chut

and girls,

Synergy was good. They played some decent psy trance in the main room. for a while. Hopefully Beltane, Chutney birthday, Synergy will have some properockin music. we shall see, eh?
The most spinning I saw was the uv costumed, LED show at the beginning in the Jedi room. Throughout, I kept losing groups of people, Glastonbury stylee, but fun was had and spinning was spun.
