I am very busy
… and will be for the next 4 months.
I am working on two books and a commercial video for release in December.
I am training in mime and dance.
I am dealing with a broken heart.
I teach a weekly class in London.
I am preparing a dance/block manipulation piece for a major UK circus convention in a few weeks.
I am hosting several other jugglers this month who are coming to London to train.
To top it off, I have a unicycling gig in october that is paying me $5000 (canadian) and I can’t ride the damn thing yet.
I know me. It is entirely likely that I will spend the next month going out of my studio for only 2 reasons: (A) to take the boat out and buy food, or (B) to travel to a gig.
No partying, no dating, no travelling, no socializing, just work work work.
Please remind me occasionally that I ‘DO’ actually enjoy this, and that I am very lucky to be where I am. Otherwise I’ll forget and go mad.
So few ever get here. Most quit early or don’t have the courage to take the nececcary steps. They can’t make the sacrifice, I guess. Different priorities.
I need to be here. There is too much work to be done that can’t be done anywhere else.
5 years from now, when I can afford that castle, I’ll finally be able to step away, marry that simple country girl in France (note: watch “The Hairdressers Husband”), and look back at what I’ve done.
Till then…
I will have a cigarrette and turn up the music.
