Learn to juggle

this is one of the funnest/most fun things i learned (finally) to do in 2007. if you practice just 5 minutes a day over the couch or bed, you’ll get it. it is totally fun to juggle fruit, veggies, whatever…

okay, i’m still pretty bad, but I think I can officially say that I can juggle since I can get 3-9 rotations going. I am still practicing in 5 minute increments whenever I need a break from work or whatever, and that is making the difference.

Also, the best tip i got that i’d recommend is to practice in front of a bed/couch so that a) you don’t move/walk forward “chasing” the balls and b) you don’t have to chase the balls when they drop! so much fun….will i add 4th ball? knives? flaming objects?

I have not been practicing, but carried the balls with me cross country to cali. Picked them up today and did a 3 rotation juggle! I can’t believe it. So I’ll keep at it and keep at it and I still think by end of summer I should be there! Practice, Practice and more practice. I’m excited!

I’m getting close. I think I got two rotations last week before the balls got away from me. I have been carrying the balls around and it is a matter of needing to put more practice time in and stop moving forward and just r-e-l-a-x while juggling to keep the balls from flying all over the place.

i’m getting close. i think i can have this down by end of summer.

now can do one rotation of 3 balls but then i lose it! and i’m tossing “out” so the balls get away from me. but i’m loving it and i can see the progress. i’m confident i’ll have it down by the end of june. i’ll carry my balls to the end of the earth and practice. i’m thinking over my parent’s couch will be the perfect spot! i’m grateful to God and proud of myself for working on this goal.

i’ve been working on getting the two ball toss down and now i’m holding all 3 in my hands and doing the two ball toss. i think i’ll practice this awhile then hit step 4 – adding the 3rd ball. i’ll track down matt or joe to check my technique. I have 11 more days to accomplish the goal of learning this before getting off in san diego!

practiced for 15 minutes in my office after work today. getting better with one ball toss. will move to two ball toss soon.

i haven’t been practicing much. but i did take the balls up to my office so maybe i’ll practice a couple of times a day. Joe B who is the videographer on our round the world trip with semester at sea knows how to juggle and he came in and gave me a short lesson and said we should touch base a few times a week. I have about 4.5 weeks to learn to juggle to meet my goal of juggling before arriving in San Diego! I can do it!

so i have my balls with me and i practiced for about 5 minutes 2x yesterday. still not juggling per se, but excited about learning and getting it down pat!

i found a guy in my hostel who knows how to juggle. he gave me a 15 minute lesson and told me i’d be fine in no time. of course this was after we both had a shot of vodka….
