Dreams and Goals

I have a few dreams and goals that just refuse to die despite my weight and my age. That's probably a good thing. Never say die. Unless you are dead of course.

Hanging in there.

I got some juggling in at two events on Mon. and Tues. night.

My income on google adsense is improving. Just got another check from them 2 days ago.

I tried to belly dance in the park last night but felt too self-concious so I played finger cymbals a little and stretched a little.

I haven't gotten to play guitar in days. Why can't I keep up with that?

SCA Fighter Practice

I went to an SCA Fighter Practice at Murdy Park in Huntington Beach CA hoping to find other people with similar interests. I hit the jackpot. I found 2 jugglers and a meeting for a new pageantry group that wants to do flag spinning! So I got enough exercise in today. I also did some belly dancing stretches but I was pretty stiff from juggling by then.

For hypnosis I watched a Past Life Regression special on Oprah.

A little behind

I've fallen a little behind. Just wanted to say that yesterday I belly danced, and last night I went to see my friend John Joseph play guitar, which was an inspiration to me. This time for once I really focused on his technique so I could try some of those things at home. I see I need to get scales wired, not just up on the high end of the neck, but all throughout the fretboard. I'm not getting nearly the variety of sound out of the guitar that I could be getting.
I was hoping he'd bring his chapman stick though. I was looking forward to hearing him play that. But he has some major back problems, and sometimes he just doesn't feel up to bringing more things. Maybe next time.
Also, I started a new juggling forum called jugglingplanet, which should inspire me to do more with juggling, like make my own props. How cool would that be?
